What or who do you think this viscet is based on?:
The Ocean
Tell me something about their character that relates to the thing you chose:
Nikolai the Water Guardian as his name states is the one that looks after the ocean, more specifically the riptide areas. He is a caring soul who likes to look after others, which is why he likes being the Guardian, as he can look after many and make sure that no one injures themselves. But along with having a unique fascination for the ocean and its creatures Nikolai tends to be swept away with the calmness of being far out in the ocean, it gives him time to think about everything and sometimes he even stumbles upon a creature that welcomes him into its humble abode.

Relations:
Roderick
These two boys’ personalities clash like lightning, Roderick the slight self-centred ladies’ man whilst Nikolai is the calm ocean spirit who is always having trouble with ladies. They met when Roderick was trying to catch a wave to show off to some of the other viscets back on the beach, yet when he was about to try a trick he flew off of his board and into a riptide near where Nikolai was patrolling that evening. Nikolai rushed over to Roderick whose little bobtail was sticking up and out of the water, using his powers over the water and he made it so that there was a small hole of air, the water was no longer around Roderick and he was face first in the sand. They ended up talking a while since Roderick didn't want to face the humiliation of seeing his friends, but that day Roderick realised that he made a friend, one that didn't care about how self-centred he was and was always going to be there for him.
Roderick always felt in debt with Nikolai, since he saved his life once in the ocean and many more times with his older friends. One day though as Nikolai was stumbling to talk to a certain girl Roderick overheard Nikolai , as the self-proclaimed ladies' man he decided to help the poor guy with his troubles. Once the little awkward conversation had finished he rushed to his new friend's side and started trying to help, which was harder than Roderick thought it would be as Nikolai didn't have it easy when talking to females. A couple weeks with Roderick and Nikolai wasn't stumbling when he talked to the special girl, although he was rambling about useless stuff but then that wasn't anything that Roderick could help with. Eventually Nikolai stepped up, whilst being given a light shove in the back, and went to talk to the girl. He came back with a huge grin on his face, and slightly reddened face fur.
Altaira
Where to start with Nikolai and Altaira, well Nikolai had had a little crush on her for a while but the friendly girl had not noticed until Nikolai had some help from his friend Roderick, who for what it is worth is called the ladies' man. Altaira was the first girl that ever took an interest to the calm but slightly shy ocean guardian, as she was one of those kinds of girls who weren't afraid to get their fur wet when she wanted to meet someone. Although Nikolai never expected that is would be so hard to talk to her, he normally wouldn't have trouble talking to anyone, even if they were intimidating. It took weeks after he finally stepped up, also after weeks of with Roderick teaching him how to not run away when shy. But it worked out in the end, as Altaira wasn't as scary as Nikolai thought she would be. Well more the aspect of talking to her was scarier than actually talking to her, since he liked her quite a lot.
Eventually the two got quite close and Nikolai ended up asking her to be his mate, yet her way of saying yes was giving him his necklace that he always has on. It doesn't come off because of all of his fur, which also seems to keep him from freezing to death.
Augustin
Nikolai and Augustin have been friends for a while, close friends but that is only when they are together and chatting. Due to Augustin always on the move it is always a lot harder on their interesting friendship, as they can only speak in the ocean or on the cliffs that look over the ocean. Which is harder than it seems since Augustin is quite powerful in the fire magic department, so meeting by the ocean isn't always the easiest part. The two can go months without talking as they do not need each other’s comfort all the time, mostly only when in need. Normally it is when Augustin has suspicions that some boy was getting too close to his little girl, that is when Nikolai would normally come in and blast the poor boy with a couple water jets.
In a way Nikolai watches out for Augustin and in turn Augustin promises to try not to create fires near the ocean side as they take hours for Nikolai to put out, and often a lot of screaming viscets that do not really like the idea of their fur being charred.
