Nika grew up on Kennewes, and had a mostly uneventful childhood. At the earliest possible age, she joined up with the Star Army of Yamatai. She fought up in the Elysian Wars up until Nepleslia's independence. After the Succession, she was recruited into the IPG. After a her training and a very brief service, she became disenchanted with the life of a spy. She turned in her equipment and left immediately. Over the course of the coming years, she spent her time as street vendor in Funky City. She became well-known in the neighborhoods in which she worked in Funky City, and eventually became a fixture in her community. Time flew until the NMX attacks on Funky City in YE 33. Nika's business was ruined. All business was ruined. So she went into hiding on the streets, until her fateful encounter with Alex Foster and the Funky City Resistance Movement.
Knife fighting, Pistol proficiency, Basic martial arts; These were learned in the military and IPG. While she does not oft use these abilities, she makes certain that she keeps them sharp. While not out of any paranoia does she do this, rather it is more in line with boredom and needing something to do when she is not in the mood for crafting bombs; also on rare occasion she is offered a dangerous (but small) odd job that may require these skills.
Crafting bombs for personal entertainment. While the IPG has taught Nika how to craft bombs, she has never made an explosive with much bang to it, preferring small bombs designed for solitary kills and a quick fix for a set of stubborn tumblers. Nika has never used the bombs she crafts for anything other than amusement and most of them get disassembled after she finishes crafting them, but on the off-chance someone is interested in making a purchase, she may part with one.
Schmoozing; Life on the streets was not always easy, but Nika is a personable individual and found her way into the hearts of her customers with sweet words and empty promises. Primarily she uses her ability to swindle customers and sway those on the fence.
NOTE: ALL SALES ARE FINAL, NO REFUNDS!
Pickpocket, theft; Being opportunistic on the streets, lead to the development of theft becoming a game. While Nika has her principles, no one will mind if some things happen to wind up missing… it had dust on it after all. While her stealth training was for applications in espionage work, she has found that quick soft hands make for an easy pay raise from her newly acquired wallet and/or pocket watch; plus, many people that afford her this opportunity seem to enjoy being “groped” by an attractive lady.
Logic; Nika, from an early age, has always had a logical personality. She is no fool; always critical, Nika searches for flaws, be they in plans or in arguments, but sometimes in spite will keep her observations to herself if she feels the other person's plans will backfire. This characteristic gives her an appreciation for all things irony.
Nika is currently a Rogue in the Funky City Resistance. She receives no compensation other than room, board, and supplies.
