Nick Foster

Nicholas "Nick" Foster (ニコラス・「ニック」・フォスター) is the deuteragonist of South City.

He is a resident in South City and a former resident of the Benoist Hotel. The second-born child of the Foster family, Nick is the adoptive brother and best friend of Brendan Foster, the older brother of Tracy Foster, the younger brother of Patrick Foster, the son of Jonathan and Naomi Foster, and the husband of Becky Ackerman. He was previously a member of the school committee.

In the series, growing up with his adopted brother, Nick often finds himself in either tame or crazy situations, also becoming involved in plots concerning the school itself. With Brendan, Nick is part of a close-knit group of friends: Mason Bridges, Jasper Chase, Allison Forrester, and Dylan Dawes.

Despite getting along with a lot of his schoolmates, he is also gotten into conflict with individuals such as Spencer Smythe and Kevin Green. After the series, upon graduating from college, Nick married his friend, Becky.

In the original one-shot chapters, Nick was known as Gary Bennett, who later became the character "Gary Benson." In an early concept, he was known as Luke Waters.
