Nico Husbando

Description \ Bio

Nico, inmate number 25, is one of the main protagonists of the Nanbaka anime and web manga series. He is an inmate of Nanba Prison where he is held in building thirteen, cell thirteen. Arrested for unwittingly buying and selling drugs in the slums, he is a sickly individual who is dependent on medication for survival. Nico is a dark-skinned, childish-looking, and a rather feminine teenage boy of below-average height and weight. He has wild, vivid green hair that reaches down to his waist and dark red eyes with long eyelashes. His right eye is covered in white bandages, with additional bandages wrapped around his neck, right arm, and leg. His ID‌ number, 25, is tattooed on his tongue in black. His nails are bright green. Nico wears an orange, long-sleeved inmates’ jumpsuit, which is unzipped slightly at the top. He wears plain black shoes and sports a large ball and chain around his right ankle. His ID‌ badge is pinned to the left side of his chest. Nico has a cheerful, childish personality. He rarely takes things seriously and is enticed by almost everything, displaying his innocence. He is characterized by his love of anime, manga and video games, described as an Otaku, and sees such things as a necessity of the same level of food and medication; this is due to his admiration for the protagonists within these stories, which inspired him to be lively and carefree after having originally had little hope for the future. He is affectionate and cares greatly for his friends, tending to become lonely without them. Nico is a very sickly individual who is dependent on medication for survival. While he initially hated medicine due to his phobia of the injections needed to take it, he is provided with oral medication in Nanba prison which causes him to greatly enjoy taking his medicine to the point of addiction.[9] However, when it wears off, his cheerful persona disappears and is replaced with a violent, bloodthirsty personality. In this state, he refers to himself in the third person and becomes obsessed with retrieving his medicine, viewing it as his only lifeline.
