Nick Ramos

Nick Ramos is the main protagonist of Dead Rising 3.

Nick is a mechanic who works for Wrench O' Rama in the city of Los Perdidos. He is an orphan, and many details of his life remain a mystery. He has a tattoo of the number 12 on his neck.

He plans to use his mechanical skills to fix an airplane and escape the city during the time of the outbreak in Los Perdidos.

Unlike previous protagonists, Nick has the ability to make combo weapons on the spot without use of a workbench.

Trivia

 * He is the first Hispanic protagonist in the Dead Rising series.
 * Nick's name was predicted to be Rick before his name was officially released.
 * Although Nick is an orphan, there is no "Nick Ramos" on Carlito's list of Infected Orphans. Speculation remains, however, that Nick may be one of these orphans.
 * It is speculated that Nick may have ties to Carlito and Isabela Keyes and possibly to Santa Cabeza.
 * Nick's fist name ends with a "K" like the other main protagonists from Dead Rising and Dead Rising 2.
 * Nick appears to be very reluctant about killing Hunter and his gang, and even has an emotional breakdown after Hunter is killed. This proves that Nick, unlike Frank and Chuck, will develop a lot throughout the game. This is also evidenced by the Story Trailer, where Nick claims, rather firmly and angrily that he is, "getting the hell outta this city, and taking my friends with me!" and proceeds to punch the person he was talking to in the face.
 * In the story trailer Capcom released, it is revealed that at some point, Nick gets bitten, and encounters a Hispanic woman, which could be Isabela Keyes.  However, the woman also had stiches on her cheek. It could be that Marian is trying to beat Isabela to Nick and get him on her side.
