==Story== | ==Story== | ||
Nikki is the son of [[Fargo]] and [[Zelbess]]. Born to the happy couple, he enjoyed a relatively peaceful infancy at their home. However, disaster struck around 1011 A.D., when the falling out between [[Viper]] and Fargo occurred and caused the death of his mother and his own separation from the family. While out on his own, Nikki developed the ambition to become a rock star to express his ideals and dreams. His former suffering and current situation as a boy forced to find his own way in life contributed to his credibility and skill in crafting emotive, meaningful music. He eventually met [[Miki]], and together they created their colorful act. At first, no one accepted their look or music, as Nikki wore radical makeup and clothes and tried to convey deep messages in his music. The group could not break the top 100 and nearly quit; however, [[Lucca]] stopped by their trailer one day and told Nikki that she admired their music, for it sang the song of the "Magical Dreams." Nikki retitled the group after this complement, renaming it the [[Magical Dreamers]], and unabashedly pressed on in establishing himself in the music world. He soon became popular and renowned, and achieved sex symbol status. However, he continued to stress deep messages in his music. He also continued to look for his father and little sister, whom he always remembered. A particularly ardent Nikki Fan would hang around outside his dressing room on the Magical Dreamers ship. | Nikki is the son of [[Fargo]] and [[Zelbess]].

==Etymology== | |||
''Nikki'' appears to be a feminized, shorthand version of Nicholas. As a rock star, Nikki wears flamboyant clothing and scarves. The name may be a pun of this. Additionally, his Japanese name, ''Slash'' may be a reference to [[Slash]] from {{CT}}, or the guitarist, {{w|Slash (musician)|Slash}}, from Guns N' Roses. | |||
==Trivia== | |||
While in the English version he's called a Rockin' Bard Superstar, the original Japanaese called him both a {{nihongo|"bard"|吟遊詩人|ginūshijin}} and a ヴィジュアル系アイドル "visual-kei idol". [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_kei Visual-kei] was a form of Japanese rock popular in the 80s and 90s somewhat like glam rock in the west, though not the same. It was known for its flamboyant imagery, much like Nikki sports.
