"People ... All living beings ... They all strive for the very same thing - to live and to be remembered for what they have done during their life time. I do not strive for that, you may not even rememeber me at all, perhaps you are one of those who is unaware of my existens. However, I will help you, because I am the one to record the world's memories and make sure that all of them are remembered in one way or antother.
You may just live your life, just as you please. Leave the rest to me."
Biography
In our world there's no room for "I" - unless you break the rules.I’m a person who intends to start my own company one day, for that a logotype would be a good thing to have. Correct? At first I probably went with the flow of rules for logotypes and I neglected who I am behind my back as I went forward to create my logotype. Of course, it obviously didn’t feel quite right due to that. I turned around and neglected the logotype I had managed to create based on the rules to start over from scratch once again – this time I made sure that “I” was there and that the rules could go to hell where they couldn’t interfere with me. What once was a regular shadow of a SLR camera was replaced with the eye of a bird – not just any bird, outside the actual logotype that bird was so much more than that; he was a magnificent Phoenix. But why an eye? Indeed, why … It’s simple, you see, the lens on a camera is quite similar to an eye, and instead of just a boring lens the eyes of any living being who possesses that certain body part is beautiful and so much more interesting to look at. Nikon, as his name came to be, were the part that would represent my soon-to-be company more than any other part of the logotype. He would be the first thing to catch the viewer in his silent gaze.
I had already decided upon the colours with Nell, so I couldn’t let Nikon keep his actual colour scheme in the logotype (because that would look out of place and cause the logotype to have far too many colours for my own liking). However, at this point I realized how pale and boring his supposedly beautiful eye was. A logotype shouldn’t have a gradient nor shading in order to keep it in as high quality and easy to work with for anything and everything you will want to use your logotype for … But I couldn’t overlook the fact of how displeased I was with Nikon’s eye. Because of that I gave it some shading, it might not have been much, but it was enough to almost make it look like as I had envisioned it from the very start in all those sketches I made of the logotype itself and Nikon as a whole character and not just an eye. With both Nikon and Nell done I decided that the picture for my logotype was done, and that it with out a doubt would work perfectly fine on its own without the text I later added in matching colours. This is how I make logotypes, against all rules – in order to keep myself and who I am within it. |
In the fantasies of a lone person's mind.“Being the one who carries others memories and to make sure that they are not forgotten, makes it quite ironic that I, who am that someone, have no memories at all from my past. I do not know how I came to be nor where I was born; everything I know is that I suddenly was just here and was none other than me. I had no childhood as far as I am aware, unlike other of my kind I was just as you may see me today back when I was no one.
Being no one is indeed quite hard; I had nothing – not even a name. It did not take me long to decide that I too wanted to be a part of this world. I wanted to become someone and I wanted to feel ‘I am alive’, so to speak. Thus after meeting a certain someone, I finally had a name. She gave me the name Nikon and that was my beginning to feel complete. The two of us were indeed quite much alike - she had no memories of her past either, just like me. Before we knew it we were together – always.” “As time passed by, each of us found that we had certain abilities that we never even once thought a being could possess. I was able to create the memories of times that had occurred, to make sure they were not forgotten or simply make sure that the world of man and animal recorded their own past in one way or another. As said, a period of time, longer than what you can imagine, passed by – yet we stayed the same year after year. I know fully well that a Phoenix is deemed as immortal, always reborn in its ashes once it gets too old to carry on. However, I am not like that – I do not age, I have seen more than a hundred thousand lifetimes by now and I have never once turned into ashes. Along time’s journey I was able to turn that empty someone I was before into a someone. Together she and I became something more than just living beings. The part of the world whom knew about us came to refer to us with many names, because no one knew our true names. Most commonly used was 'the creators', which I find rather fitting for us. I capture the memories within my mind and create memories to make sure that those days are not forgotten by this world … Together we have faced the world since the first moment we met; together we shall keep facing the world until the end of all time. Both of us have become someone, and both of us shall await tomorrow with an everlasting fait that it will be a better day than what today was.” |
Personality
Nikon is a calm and collected lad who always will look upon this world with a serious gaze that never will give in to games or other things that he deems as unnecessary. He prefer keeping his distance from others, because that way he will be able to see everything that occurs and he will be able to remember everything exactly as it was. Some may end up calling him cold hearted because of his lack of emotion that he never will show to the outside world, one will never truly know what he feels or thinks; because he’d never say nor show it to anyone (not even Nell truly gets to know his feelings even though one may have thought that she would). Nikon takes great pride to everything he is and hopes to accomplish in his life; and if he ever were to fail at something it will make him feel quite bad about himself. However, he will never stop even if he fails at doing something or fails at making the world remember something; he will still stand tall and hold his head high while trying even harder to not fail again.
Even though Nikon doesn’t particularly like having others close and prefers solitude compare to having others close by, it doesn’t mean that he don’t like others. He’s a very caring lad and will never turn his back to anyone. Seeing others suffer in any way that it is possible to suffer will make him want to take action to help them, unfortunately he’s not one to rush to anyone’s help. That’s mainly because he partly knows that he’s not supposed to change the path the world is heading, partly because he’s just there to make sure our existence is remembered throughout the ages; and even more because he lacks the courage to interact with others at the same “level” as Nell does. Nikon’s simply not one to make friends with others nor to even make contact with anyone.
Even though he’s one to like solitude over unity, he will always allow Nell to come and go by his side as she pleases. They can’t always be together, so it doesn’t bother him if she’s gone for a while and the turns up sometime later. He’d also go as far as to say that he cares more about Nell than what he cares about anyone else.
