BACKGROUND :    descendant of abraham van helsing and official heir to their family legacy nikolas was raised as a monster hunter under strict rules. trained in the fields of fighting, hunting and medicine as well as receiving prestigious education he was the perfect next head to their families legacy. except nikolas never held any interest in such things. the second he’s turned eighteen he’s abandoned his blood and left for the united states wanting to write horror stories that would introduce a new wave of fans of the genre. and to use his education and knowledge of various monsters to instill accurate knowledge of these creatures in the general public to make it harder for monsters to trick them. except the genre as he knows it is over-saturated and refusing to give up his talents his agents requested for him to try his hand in another genre. 
and ever since he’s been stuck as a popular writer for romantic comedies, occasionally being permitted to dabble into other genres such as action movies or dramas; all of his stories have been turned into movies, popular beyond belief. and still, out of shame for his occupation nikolas refuses to publicly reveal his true identity to the world. instead going under the name of “n. holt” for his works and hiring actors to portray him in different public appearances and events. depending on the themes of his works he signs it under different names, though all of them for the most part feature at least one common theme. finding ones true self outside of family responsibility and expectations. 
though he tries to keep away from his old life, nikolas is haunted by several different entities, harassed by several monsters who decide that rather than simply kill the heir to one of their biggest enemies they’ll simply taunt him for his job and make him miserable. he refuses to succumb to these taunts, refuses to let these creatures lure him into embracing his heritage and instead simply tolerates their existence as though they’re annoying friends that come and go into his mansion as they please. it’s better than the occasional disappointed letter from his parents, even if they try to understand him and have long since mended their relationship with him. 
PERSONALITY :    despite the charming nature of him nikolas hides himself away behind a facade of cynicism and antisocial behaviour that seems ironically unfitting for someone who writes such tender romances. and yet that is simply the way he is; answering the questions of how he comes up with his ideas with dark responses that mirror the angry humour he has long grown fond of. “i was drunk”, “after suffering from the aftermath of taco bell” or even “got bitten by a rabid dog and thought that mutt needed some much needed love. so he was the protagonist of one of my stories” are all responses he’s given in the past.
he tends to hide away from people, keeps his distance out of the sheer frustration at how his life has turned around. and yet he refuses to give up his job in hopes that one day he’ll be able to follow his passion and write horror stories. it’s why he’s such a fond fan of the slasher genre, watches every single horror movie in existence and despite being revolted by certain themes he has watched every movie in existence, follows every new one. and his favorite pastime is writing an anonymous blog where he criticizes inaccuracies in movies with monster themes. under the alias “helvan” he’s grown rather popular on the internet for his cynical humor and the sarcastic way he tweets about things. 
his social tendencies are ... hard to determine. he has no real problem talking to people and yet he prefers being on his lonesome, it makes it easier to not tell people about his past, his family and his job.
