I love explaining where my name came from... Well, Captain Nikolai is an original character of mine, based off the series, Fullmetal Alchemist. I created him nearly four years ago, while I was still in high school. Originally, he was supposed to be a counteract to Mario (before I saw FMA, he was just known as Nikolai) as the universal man. I used this name in any game I would play, and then associate it to him. He had many jobs, like underground race car driver (Need for Speed Underground), punk skate boarder (Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4), dual sword wielding paladin (Final Fantasy Tactics Advance), and even American Idol (American Idol)! But after I watched FMA, I revamped his character based on that, and to a lesser extent, more like a fictional version of myself. So the tr;dr version, Nikolai's father was an alchemist involved with the Ishbal Massacre, who pushed Nikolai to become an alchemist himself. Nikolai was happy to learn alchemy, but did not want to become a State Alchemist like his father wanted. Time skip to when Nikolai is 16, and the war is happening. After running away from home, Nikolai returns to see his father dying on the battlefield. Skip the sentimental crap, Nikolai wears his father's chevrons as a memento (he was a Captain in the State), so friends and foes alike commonly misconstrue him as a Captain in the military, thus referring him as Captain Nikolai. He didn't develop his black lightning alchemy until later, but that's another part of the story.
 Thank you Bio Desu for the awesome sig! j00 r@wk sumthin fierce!
