PEYTON LORIANE NIKOLAEV
GENDER-FLUID | PANSEXUAL |
FIFTEEN | REGULAR |
appearance
Peyton had short, straight dark brown almost black hair that often looks a tad boyish and beautiful brown eyes. Their skin is fair and often gets messed up by washable markers (they have a habit of drawing on themself) and almost any kind of muck you can find in the apocalypse. They’re rather careless towards how other people may feel about their appearance since to them appearances don’t matter at all. They often wear a black and white cap with goggles on them that their father had given to them as a birthday present. Peyton loves to wear long coats since it makes them feel like like a detective. The clothing they wear can vary from being rather girly to boyish since sometimes they feel more like a boy and other times they feel like a girl.
As of weapons, Peyton is often carrying around a handgun at all times to defend themself since they’re a regular. When it comes to their figure, it is noticeable that Peyton looks more feminine since they were originally born female, however, this is rather subtle. Their face leans more to the round side, but by no means does it make them look chubby. Peyton lacks muscle and a physique that leans more towards the thin and small size, from her tiny hands to slender legs. For a fifteen-year-old, they are a couple inches shorter than average height.

abilities
Peyton is normal, very normal. No abilities or mutation. Just a normal teenage genderfluid.
background
Peyton is not native to the island of Iona, instead they grew up in a small city in Russia. Their father was a law enforcement officer and would sometimes be out for late shifts while their mother was a lazy drunkard. Since their father was not always around due to late night patrolling and their mother was often drunk, Peyton often spent time with her brother, Elliot, and began looking up to him. Elliot was Peyton’s closest family member and often times he would attempt to keep them away from the arguments between their parents. Unfortunately, this only piqued Peyton’s interest in the topic since they wondered why they were so dangerous.
At the age of 7, Peyton began to get the idea that their parents were not happy together. Thus, they became a rather devious little non-binary and decided to put their efforts into breaking them apart. They had a stern hatred for their mother and this only gave them more of a reason to start these verbal fights. Their methods became simple, to yell stuff like “DADDY, MOMMY SMELLS LIKE SMOKE AND BOOZE!”, words they learned from over-hearing things. Eventually it worked, and the two filed for divorce. By the end of the trial, their father won sole-custody over Peyton and Elliot and their mother was out of their lives forever. They moved to a different city and their father rarely let them speak to their mother, but would warrant a call during holidays.
When Peyton became 10, their social life became a rather terrible one. Due their appreciation of fighting and debates, they were seen as a drama queen and often left alone. Some went to lengths to bully them. Since Peyton’s brother and father were always busy nowadays, they believed they were forced to take the issue into their own hands. Gradually, the gender-fluid began to show less and less emotion to points of concern, but it always warded away the bullies. Their teachers would ask them if everything was alright, but would only receive an indifferent “Yes” as a response. This only made the concern grow until both Elliot and Peyton’s father had to get involved, but due to Peyton’s newfound quietness, they never discovered the root of the problem.
Gradually the years went on in a lonesome quiet until Peyton became 13. Due to their mysterious nature, one of the female students in their class began to crush heavily on them. They would always spend time with them, being not bothered by their fight stirring ways. For the most part, Peyton was indifferent to their company, but considered them some definition of a friend. However, when they started to notice the signs, it became a serious issue since topics of romance consistently bothered the teen. They did not desire to fall in love to the point where it could be considered a fear of sorts, thus they began to avoid their only friend. Obviously, she began to notice and felt offended by the actions Peyton was taking. It got so drastic that when she finally managed to pin them in a dead end hallway they spilled out all their feelings. On that day, Peyton broke their heart and felt very guilty about it. They could never forget the tears that rolled down her cheeks and how she ran away from them immediately. Clueless as to what they should do, Peyton only found their friend drifting further and further away from them.
By the age of 15 they were once again alone and having nothing go their way. Political tensions were high and most people seemed to be nervous about the outcome at the time. Yet, Peyton felt indifferent about the idea to the point where they thought that going into an exchange program would be fun. They were smart and had even gone lengths to study the English language in the late spring to early fall. Although, their father and brother were distraught about the concept and insisted that it would be a terrible idea with how things were. It took a lot of talking, but Peyton eventually convinced them to let them go to Nootau, BC. They left in early September and flew over to Canada, which was an exciting experience. They met their foster family, which were a bunch of kind and welcoming folks, but they were a tad ignorant to the concept of Peyton knowing relatively good English.
They enjoyed going to the Nootau High School and found the students they with to be a kind bunch with the exception of a few. After a few months, the alarm went off and Peyton found themselves taken to a bunker in Nootau to protect them. For a moment, everything shook and Peyton found themselves wishing they were back in Russia with their family. Once everything was proven to be safe, their fear dissipated and they became excited, up until they discovered they would not be receiving any abilities. However, later on this allowed them to join the Aimon Settlement with ease, a place where they could be safe. Ever since they often remain inside the doors and assist in the generator room with their engineering knowledge.
