Fanon:Nikto Curious

Nikto Curious was the son of Pascal Curious and is famous for being the first alien in the Curious family. He is the offspring of Pollination Technician. His alien half brother named Klatu Curious is also his cousin, as he is the offspring of Pollination Technician and the son of Vidcund Curious, Nikto's uncle.

Later in life Nikto married River Curious and they got two children: Sarah and Kade.

Before birth

Pascal is an ambitious and hard working scientist, with perhaps a little too much interest in finding extraterrestrial life. He is a brilliant man, which can make him quite eccentric, especially when he claims to have met aliens. He is positive it happened, the only thing is... he doesn't remember a thing about it! His brothers Vidcund and Lazlo giving him a hard time about the whole situation, Vidcund claims he needs more scientific evidence and Lazlo laughs at his brothers' foolish obsession with aliens. The only person believing Pascal is his one friend (and sometimes guinea pig) Nervous Subject. The two spend a lot of time together, trying to prove whatever happened to Pascal up in space, and their friendship grows as they become inseparable. When Pascal grows bigger and bigger, he finally realizes that the aliens he met might have left a little gift for him. Excited to meet this unknown creature inside of him, Pascal starts to plan a whole system to figure out how to get it out alive and well into this world. Meanwhile Nervous makes sure that Pascal stays healthy and gets everything he needs: from food an bubble baths, to foot or back massages. Lovingly they both keep calling the bump Tycho, as they finally hit their goal of proving extraterrestrial life.

As the due date for little Tycho approaches, Pascal realizes he could have never done this without Nervous and that perhaps, this being the only "relationship" he ever had, he would like for it to be a bit more official. Unsure of how to handle this he decides to kiss Nervous. Although Nervous doesn't decline the kiss, he definitely is a little confused. Nervous leaves the house and the two are not in contact until baby Tycho is born.

Babyhood
When giving birth, Pascal has to rely a lot on his brother Vidcund, as Nervous is still nowhere to be found. This upsets Pascal and he realizes he won't be able to name the baby Tycho, as it would remind him of Nervous too much. Together with his brother he thinks of the name Nikto. Vidcund and Pascal's relationship improves a lot, as they both take care of Nikto and continue their science work together. It is not long after Nikto is born that Vidcund shares with his brother that he thinks he was taken by aliens too and that they might need to prepare for a second youngling.

A little while later Vidcund's stomach starts to grow as predicted, and the two excitingly start to plan their second research, mainly focusing on the early stages that were missed by Pascal. It is during one of those errand runs that Pascal runs into Nervous again. Nervous wouldn't be himself if he wasn't incredibly uncomfortable, and tries to apologize for his behavior, saying he regrets not being there for him and Tycho. Pascal informs him that his son Nikto is alive and well, and that Nervous is welcome to come see him some time. Nervous seems surprised and a little disappointed by the change of name, but accept the invitation nontheless.

When that day finally arrives, Nervous confesses his love to Pascal and gives him a big kiss. It surprises Pascal but he is overjoyed. He then goes and gets Nikto, which once again scares Nervous and makes him want to leave. Pascal tries to convince him to stay and shows him that Nikto is besides his beautiful green skin not so different from themselves. Nervous agrees to accept the boy, but needs time to get used to him.

In the last few days of Nikto's babyhood his half brother Klatu was born. Vidcund shows great excitement in fatherhood and Nervous hopes that perhaps he would be willing to take over Nikto as well, so he and Pascal can be their own family. As part of his plan Nervous proposes to Pascal and he accepts, not knowing Nervous' intentions.

Toddlerhood
Nikto shows great intelligence, to much excitement of his father. He learns his toddler skills quite fast as Pascal teaches him to walk, talk and potty train. He shares a lot of his time with his half brother Klatu, so Pascal and Vidcund can capture their development and see how they differ from normal Sims, as well as each other. He spends most of his time with his father, making them Best Friends and BFFs. He learns a lot quicker than his half brother Klatu, again to Pascal's excitement and as a reward he gets taught a Nursery Rhyme. Only a few days before turning into a child Nikto's cousin Lucifer is born. Pascal and Vidcund are eager to include him in their research, however Lazlo forbids it, saying he wants a normal life for his son.

Childhood
Giving a whole different meaning to it isn't easy being green, Nikto had a hard time at school. Most classes were way too easy, and all of his classmates kept staring at him because of his green skin and remarkable features. He grew even closer to his brother Klatu, as he was the only one that really knew how it was to be him. Even though Klatu wasn't as intelligent as him, he knew how it was to be green. Because of this Pascal and Vidcund decided to put Nikto and Klatu into private school, hoping the bullying would stop. They had saved up some money and earned quite a nice amount from their research to be able to do so. Although slightly younger, his cousin Lucifer was always very nice to him, and defended Nikto when children would bully him.

Pascal introduces Nervous, who as far as Nikto knew was just a colleague from work, as his fiancé. It doesn't bother Nikto that much, as it seems that his father is not planning on moving in with Nervous anytime soon. He also learns that Lucifer's mother and his aunt Crystal Curious has passed away. They were acquaintances and only met on a few occassions. Besides feeling sadness for his cousin, Nikto did not think much of the situation. When his cousin also turns into a child, he joins Nikto and Klatu at their private school.

Teenhood
Growing older, Nikto seems to discover new sides of himself. He chooses the knowledge aspiration, mostly to please his father but also because learning is just so easy. Different from his child stage, being green is the newest rage, and Nikto attracts a lot of new friends because of that. Klatu, Lucifer and himself are once again in the same life stage and do their best to be part of the "cool intelligent kids" in their school. They met Marsha Loner (daughter of Ajay Loner) and Nikto and Klatu immediately become friends with her. Nikto even shares his first kiss with her, but Marsha confesses to him that she is actually more interested in his brother Klatu. Nikto is okay with that and the two decide to just be friends.

Pascal is not too happy with all this social behavior of his son, as it ruins his lifelong work. However after a good chat with Vidcund, he realizes that, because practically Nikto is just a normal teenage boy, he couldn't wish for a better ending of his study. Since Pascal is getting older, he decides to step back and let Nikto enjoy his life.

Nikto now having full freedom, becomes friends with two boys: River Smith and Samuel Riley. While sneaking out with Samuel to a party he realizes that he might, just like his father, be more interested in men than in women. Their date ends with a kiss. Excited with his discoveries, Nikto invites River over the next day and they end their day with a kiss as well. Satisfied with all his new discoveries, Nikto continues to date them both, and enjoys his time with them.

Adulthood
When adulting is a necessity and not a joke thrown around with friends, Nikto decides to do something radical and breaks with everything he was ever taught: he gets a job in the dance career. Never has he done one dance move in his life, but secretly while working on his algebra he always fantasized about the beautiful light but powerful jumps ballet dancers made. Pascal does not approve, and is disappointed that his son is not following into his footsteps, but Nikto seem to ignore every grow and grumble and starts taking ballet lessons; better late than never! When Klatu gets engaged to his girlfriend Marsha, Nikto realizes he should stop messing around and get started on a family as well. He decides to break things off with Samuel, who is not happy about that and asks River to move in with him.

The house getting a little crowded Pascal, Lazlo and Vidcund decide to move to a smaller house, leaving their place to the three cousins. At first Pascal is not thrilled about this as he has to leave most of his science equipment, but after some convincing from Vidcund and Lazlo he sees that is is probably for the best.

When Klatu gets married, Nikto gets inspired and proposes to River. River had never thought he would get married but is overjoyed and agrees. They share their first WooHoo together. In the meantime Lucifer's girlfriend Tessa Loste moves in with the family. Nikto and River have their wedding, and only a little after River notices his stomach growing and weird almost stomping moves from the inside out. Both Tessa and Pascal are alarmed, reminding Nikto and River that it is possible that this might be a baby growing inside of River. Nikto is shocked at first, but River is extremely excited and happy to be a "real" part of the family and their alien legacy now.

Nikto's first child Sarah Curious is born, a beautiful and healthy baby girl, that looks like a normal Sim. River is a bit disappointed, as he had hoped that Sarah would have inherited Nikto's beautiful green skin, but he quickly forgets about that when he looks into her beautiful big and cute eyes. Pascal, still trying to keep track of Nikto's developments, is slightly disappointed as well, but feels that he has concluded enough information to let this subject go. He decides to retire and Nikto is happy for his father as well as relieved for himself.

Not long after this Nikto hears that his father has passed away. He was found smiling on his favorite chair, holding his life's work notebook. Nikto is saddened by this, as his tough but loving relationship with his father has come to an end. He finds comfort with River, leading to a second pregnancy for River.

Nikto decides to focus more on his career, and becomes successful, even gaining the top if it and fulfilling his lifetime want. Their son Kade Curious is born just a few days before Nikto turns into an elder. Kade posesses the beautiful green skin of his father, to the excitment of River.

Elderhood
Nobody stays young forever, especially if you keep dancing your socks off. As soon as Nikto turns an elder he decides to store his ballet shoes and retires. This gives him more time to take care of Kade and even his teenage daughter Sarah, as he wishes to spend more time with them and teach them his skills before he can't do that anymore. Much like his father, Nikto decides to move out with River and gives the house to his children and his cousins' children. Klatu and Marsha follow his example, and they move to the previous house Pascal, Vidcund and Lazlo moved to. When Lucifer and Tessa's twins are all grown up they join the four in their home and spend their last days together.

Not long after moving out Nikto hears from his daughter Sarah that she is moving in with high school sweatheart Jenson Beaker. He gets to give her away at their wedding and there were no dry eyes in sight. He was happy to hear that his son Kade chose to go to college, and spend four years earning a degree, while also having some fun. He was never sure if Kade just dumbed down his intelligence or truly was just a normal happy brained Sim. Nikto got to experience the birth of his first grand child Lars, as well as the graduation of Kade and his wedding to fellow alien Malta Landgraab. Nikto unfortunately did not live long enough to witness the birth of his twin grandchildren. He died of old age.

Trivia

 * Tycho means hitting the mark in Greek, which might be a reference to the Curious brother's being scientists and looking for break throughs.
 * The meaning of Nikto is highly debated, I found it randomly on a website, but recently found out it was actually a line in The Day the Earth Stood Still mentioning both Nikto and his brother Kla(a)tu.
