Nicholas "Nick" Holliday grew up in a household where Christmas was the highlight of the year. His father, a skilled toymaker, ran a small but renowned shop that handcrafted toys. His mother, a volunteer coordinator, organized charity drives and holiday meals every December, instilling in Nick a deep sense of community and generosity. Together, his parents taught him that Christmas was about giving, kindness, and creating joy for others.
Tragedy struck one Christmas Eve when Nick was sixteen. A gang of local thugs, attempting to extort his father’s shop, broke in and vandalized the place after his father refused to pay protection money. When his father confronted them, a fight broke out, and his father was fatally injured. This traumatic event forever changed Nick’s perception of the holiday season. No longer a time of pure joy, Christmas now carried the weight of loss and a reminder of those who would harm others even during the season of goodwill.
After his father’s passing, Nick’s mother struggled to keep the toy shop open, and Nick dedicated himself to his studies, determined to make something of his life. He poured himself into his studies and by the time he graduated from university, Nick was a celebrated inventor and had landed a lucrative job at a top tech company, specializing in advanced robotics and security systems.
But the holiday season was still painful, a reminder of what he’d lost and the joy he could never fully reclaim. Then, one Christmas Eve, Nick encountered the same gang that had attacked his family years ago, now terrorizing other local businesses. Watching them shake down innocent shopkeepers, something snapped in Nick. He realized he could use his skills to protect those who couldn’t protect themselves, and maybe, just maybe, bring a little bit of justice to a holiday that had lost its magic for him....
- Candy Cane: A sturdy, candy cane-shaped grappling hook with a retractable wire, allowing him to swing between buildings or scale walls. The hook can also be used to trip or disarm enemies.
- Snowballs: Compact, round grenades that look like snowballs but pack a punch. They either explode on impact to release a flash of blinding light (a “snow-blind” effect) or emit a burst of freezing mist that temporarily immobilizes enemies.
- Mistletoe: Small, stealthy darts coated with a paralyzing agent. Nick uses these to silently incapacitate foes without causing serious harm, much like sedative-laced mistletoe.
- Reindeer: Small, lightweight drones designed to look like mechanical reindeer. Equipped with night-vision cameras, they serve as Nick’s eyes in the sky, helping him monitor criminals from a distance and scout out locations. Some drones are outfitted with light projectors that can create blinding displays or distract adversaries.
- Gift Wrap: These cuffs, disguised as holiday ribbons, are used to restrain criminals. Once activated, they contract tightly around the wrists of a target, locking them in place until police arrive.
- Jingle Bells: Small, jingling ornaments that release a dense cloud of smoke upon impact, allowing Nick to disorient opponents or make quick getaways.
