Imagining John Cena with a pencil dick thin enough to fit that ring around is an infinitely entertaining image you've given meWait, you guys don't see my new John Cena model wearing a cockring?? As for her anatomy, I was doing this render for a supporter who wanted it, so I may have cut a few corners.. :'D
Damn dudeI think Nicki's biggest failing is her people-pleasing nature. Guy points it out last chapter, asking why she put up with Brent. She says something about being overly forgiving, due to how she grew up. If you pull together a few disparate remarks about/from Nicki, you can kind of assemble a picture of why she is like she is. She points out that she didn't have anyone to turn to aside from Guy, because she can't ask her family for help. She tells Maya that she has three brothers. Owen (Mr. Rhodenbarr's guard/body man) details a file he assembled on Nicki, which says both of her parents are both in prison. And of course she's able to forgive Dark Guy for being a real piece of shit.
I don't like to lay out too much stuff in posts like this, because sometimes my feelings/ideas change as I'm working on the story, and things I said on blog posts or message boards don't match what eventually ends up in the game. Plus, everyone has their own headcanon for characters. But, in my mind Nicki grew up in a very chaotic household, where she was likely abused by a family member. This causes her to subconsciously seek out men that are controlling and/or abusive. Maybe because it's familiar to her, or maybe because giving up a certain amount of control allows her to abdicate responsibility for when things in her life go wrong.
Her path with Good-to-Grey Guy is all about learning to take responsibility for herself, and build healthy boundaries.
I always love reading everyone adding their own perspective on a character though! For me, I wondered if Nicki is the way she is because she doesn't quite have a firm grasp on herself, doesn't know what she wants in life, or what a good man for her looks like, and so kind of just goes with whatever other people want out of her; whether to adopt a sense of direction for herself, or to distract from the numbness of feeling lost.
Of course, I base that partly on my own personal experiences, or people I've known, or just characters in other works that have influenced me. Maybe there's some writing in the game that goes against that interpretation of Nicki? I'm pretty slow to pick up on details, shit memory etc. But that's how I imagined her, if anyone gets anything out of it.
I'm pleased that it kinda meshes well with what you had in mind, about being a people pleaser with an abusive past and a chaotic family life. A certain number of people pleasers out there do it because they don't know how to please themselves, so taking care of others sort of scratches that need vicariously. And in the case of abuse victims, sometimes satisfying others is how you survive. So depressing when you think too much about it
Oh man, but in all seriousness.. I don't think I can come up with a flaw for Mason, because he's mostly just a victim of circumstance really. I guess the fact he was willing to cuck Nicki, and really put the pussy pressure on a taken Guy... that's pretty messed up. Let's just say if Nicki puts a nerf bat to that furry mask and bops Mason some good ones until he forgets he's a man... well, Mason mah boy, you had that one coming
