16. If you look at his extended family....you'll probably see why the reason is no. They're either dead or...kinda mad. Non-blood, he has enough friends but they're not essentially blood relatives. Probably Ivy would be the only one that could fall into that category.
17. Usually neat, but in that sort of uncluttered way where things are still skewed and unstraightened at times. He'll usually have one messy pile of papers in a corner and a stack of books somewhere, but there's definitely space on the desk
18. Yes, excellent. He doesn't have a fav recipe, but he does enjoy taking basic things people like (cookies, pasta, hot chocolate, coffee, fried meats, whatever) and finding a unique way of making them or putting a new twist on them to surprise people. He does make the more exotic fare too.
19. Rooftop hopping. Well, it used to be. Now he just uses his car.
20. He likes to think of himself as rational and better than irrational fears, and largely it's true. Though a small part of him is worried those power dampener shards will eventually sap the phasing part of his powers which is all he has left. It hasn't done anything to them until now, and probably won't ever, but it's a tiny worry he has.
PB PARTY! Another Nico I had in my 'potentials' folder that I wanted to use one day. I remember seeing him used as a Kitty/Piotr kid elsewhere ages ago (with more youthful icons too), and just really liked something about his face. I can't even explain what about it. Anyway, I have another PB I've used for a Piotr/Kitty son that I absolutely adore (you have no idea) but...the personality I was thinking for this one wouldn't work with that PB. So I jumped at the chance to use Nico here, didn't even look for other possibilities, since I'd been waiting so long to make a kid of that pairing and use his face with it. Only thing I'd say I'd change is that I'd like more good pictures of his scruffy look. He's got such a baby face that he needs the scruff look for Aleks most of the time and there's less to work with when it comes to that. Though he's going to be in a comedy show where he's a tattoo artist with some scruff so fingers crossed I can get caps of it.
