Normally soft spoken, though occasionally sarcastic. Actually not too bad of a guy. Usually. Once enraged, he enters what some on the meme have dubbed "Perkele Mode" and acts much like you'd expect angry.gif to.


 * Goals/motivations: To have a stable, well-paying job so he doesn't have to worry about his living situation.

Pre-Meme Background:
Born in Finland. His mother was a school teacher and his father a computer scientist. One day, his father's work relocated to California, so the entire family moved to America, around when Nemo was approximately 10. Shortly afterwards, his father died in a traffic accident. His mother has since remarried.

Once upon a time, Nemo believed in doing what you love to make you happy, as that was what his father advocated he do as a career. Being very skilled with his hands and the creative process, he would've gone into some sort of sculptural or woodwork. However, after his father's death, his mother insisted he pursue a similar line of work to his father in order to make lots of money, as he was the "man of the house" now. Despite his already-existing friction with his mother, this view started to seep into his life and he began to take on any part-time job he could. As such, his resumé is quite long and impressive, but he tends to only last for short bursts at jobs, depending on how quickly he has lost his temper.

Once he hit 18, he took his dog and left his mother's house. He hasn't been back since, though he sends his siblings birthday and holiday cards.
