not me rushing an intro post, pretend it’s perfect anyway!!
nicholas ‘nick’ beckett ( portrayed by george sear ): drummer. - lisa, 21, est, she/her.
full name: nicholas henry beckett
nicknames: nick
sexuality: pansexual
zodiac: cancer
moral alignment: chaotic neutral
aesthetics: old band tees, disheveled hair, black coffee at midnight, vodka in a water bottle, falling asleep on the couch, the faint flame of a lighter in the dark, black nail polish.
tw: majorly fucked up childhood. brief mentions of drug addiction & domestic abuse.
growing up the middle child of two brothers was character building to say the least. his father, an emotionally and physically abusive man, who left the family behind just short of nick’s ninth birthday. leaving nick’s eldest brother to take on the role of the father figure, caring for the family at an age people would consider too young. due to the circumstances, they were not your typical family, but they made it work. nick hardly remembers his father, and that’s for the best. the only thing he has left of him are some old records and a drum set he left abandoned when making his escape.
as the siblings grew, they only grew apart. his eldest brother became responsible and overbearing (understandably so), nick feels the need to hide a lot of his life from him. the youngest of the brothers has developed a bad drug habit he is currently battling with and continues trying to kick. so when nick explained his decision to join a band, his eldest brother was not too fond of the idea. fearing for the worst, it only fractured their relationship further. nick continues to keep his family at arms length, but humors his big brother when he checks in from time to time. remaining close, nick has been known to make the mistake of giving his younger brother money.
personality
nick “the tempo is what I say it is” beckett. the black sheep of his family, and typically sees through any bullshit. therefore, he is naturally quite moody and pessimistic, but overall laidback in his approach. understated leadership qualities, he isn’t bossy or demanding, but will take charge when he deems it necessary. although, he avoids physical conflict at all costs. he is quick to anger and will not hesitate to partake in an argument if he is pushed far enough. rarely gives second chances and will just cut you out of his life. does not take care of himself at all, like truly the kind to eat cereal for dinner. therefore, he relies on others to look after him most of the time (although he won’t ever admit it). nick doesn’t make short-term or longterm arrangements. canceling plans or changing them last minute. the thieves being his longest commitment he has made in his lifetime. but he is surprisingly attached to random and strange things, such as a particular t-shirt or vinyl. he is stubborn about his views on love and family, typically falling on the negative side.
headcannons
will literally play drums anywhere and everywhere, to such an extent it’s annoying
don’t ever, ever (ever) touch his drum set
you will probably catch him sleep walking
wears band tees or tees with holes in them
swears he doesn’t have an aesthetic but his co ordination is on point
music snob tbh can’t stand anything without drums
10/10 will steal your food
doesn’t ever use his phone?? you won’t be able to get in touch
basically nocturnal, will sleep during the day and cause a mess at night
will use his drumsticks until they break or splinter
but considers it bad luck for them to break during a show
has lucky drumsticks?? they’ve probably broken unbeknownst to him and people just keep replacing them without his knowledge
has a tattoo that reads “no matter what”, presumably it is half of a pair
