<blockquote>Highly cooperative themselves, Providers are skilled in maintaining teamwork among their helpers, and are also tireless in their attention to the details of furnishing goods and services. They make excellent chairpersons in charge of dances, banquets, class reunions, charity fund-raisers, and the like. They are without peer as masters of ceremonies, able to speak publicly with ease and confidence. And they are outstanding hosts or hostesses, knowing everyone by name, and seemingly aware of what everyone's been doing. Providers love to entertain, and are always concerned about the needs of their guests, wanting to make sure that all are involved and provided for.
<blockquote>Friendly, outgoing, neighborly - in a word, Providers are gregarious, so much so that they can become restless when isolated from people. They love to talk with others, and will often strike up a conversation with strangers and chat pleasantly about any topic that comes to mind. Friendships matter a great deal to Providers, and their conversations with friends often touch on good times from years past. Family traditions are also sacred to them, and they carefully observe birthdays and anniversaries. In addition, Providers show a delightful fascination with news of their friends and neighbors. If we wish to know what's been going on in the local community, school, or church, they're happy to fill us in on all the details.

Providers are extremely sensitive to the feelings of others, which makes them perhaps the most sympathetic of all the types, but which also leaves them somewhat self-conscious, that is, highly sensitive to what others think of them. Loving and affectionate themselves, they need to be loved in return. In fact, Providers can be crushed by personal criticism, and are happiest when given ample appreciation both for themselves personally and for the tireless service they give to others.</blockquote>


Nickels will chatter quite a bit, filling the uncomfortably quiet spaces in a conversation - or before a conversation - with colorful metaphors and unique Iotian similes and old Terran slang.  Family is literally sacred to him - an Iotian, even a low-down backstabbing Jojo of a no-goodnik, would throw himself on his own switchblade before he wronged his mother or betrayed his brother.  Friendships are closely-held and treasured, and frequently tested for the limits of a friend's patience.

* '''Hobbies'''
** '''Magic''' - After being asked if he was a magician by a student at the Academy who saw him making his nickel appear and disappear from his closed fist, he began studying legerdemain and sleight-of-hand, and registered with the Galactic Brotherhood of Magicians as a close-up magician just before graduating from the Academy, although he has not yet given a performance.  Although he primarily focused on coin tricks, he is also adept with making other small objects appear and disappear and certain forms of card magic.
** '''Magic''' - Once upon a time, a student at San Francisco's Starfleet Academy saw Nickels Luciano crossing the quad, casually making his nickel appear and disappear from his closed fist, and asked if he was a magician.  Nicky had no idea what the student was talking about, but looked it up, and shortly he began studying legerdemain and sleight-of-hand, and registered with the Galactic Brotherhood of Magicians as a close-up magician just before graduating from the Academy.  Although he primarily focused on coin tricks, he is also adept with making other small objects appear and disappear and many forms of card magic.
** '''Pistoleering''' - Nickels is a crack shot with his antiquated .45 automatics, and enjoys target shooting and shooting skeet with them, although he has to be careful about using projectile weapons on a starship.  He's become increasingly satisfied with simulated pistol shooting, though, and is a patient - if wisecracking - teacher for anyone who wishes to learn the old art.

** '''Fizzbin''' - Widely regarded as the most unnecessarily complicated game in the galaxy, [http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Fizzbin fizzbin] was invented on the spur of the moment by [http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/James_T._Kirk Captain James T. Kirk] during his incarceration by Boss Bela Okmyx in 2268 to distract his guards.  In true Iotian fashion, the rules were perfectly recalled, endlessly discussed, and finally refined into a game that has made it all across the galaxy.  He is happy to discuss the rules of the game in long, intense detail with anyone at all providing they're buying the drinks and the minimum ante for the game is set before the discussion of the rules begins.  Nickels played fizzbin heavily even for an Iotian of an old family, and is mildly infamous in Okmyx Chicago for having been dealt a royal fizzbin (two jacks, two queens, two kings, and a seventh card of a suit different than all the pairs, only obtainable by sitting on the dealer's right).  The odds of drawing that hand, it has been noted by [http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Spock scientific luminaries], are astronomical.
