NiGHTS is a video game character and the protagonist of the games NiGHTS into Dreams... and NiGHTs: Journey of Dreams, developed and published by Sega. NiGHTS wears a purple jester style hat and outfit, with a diamond on the chest.

Personality
NiGHTS is a first-level Nightmaren, created by Wizeman to steal Red Ideya. Despite being one of Wizeman's most powerful creations, he was also a remarkably mischievous free spirit who did not like taking orders, so much so that Wizeman had NiGHTS imprisoned within Nightopia (in the gondela-like structure NiGHTS inhabits within each of the levels) to keep him out of the way. NiGHTS asks for the assistance of Claris and Elliot in taking down Wizeman simply because he doesn't like him, and not because he is inherently 'good'. NiGHTS rival is his fellow first-level Nightmaren, Reala.

Gender
Players can refer to NiGHTS as either gender as they so wish, and neither one is right or wrong. NiGHTS does not speak, except for a few, short exclamations, in the first game, but is given a voice closer to a female's in the second game, Journey of Dreams. Takashi Iizuka explained that their choice for an androgynous main-character is so that NiGHTS can appeal much more directly to the player's point of view. NiGHTS is a male character for male players, and a female character for female players, to allow the player to associate with the character and make them feel more comfortable with NiGHTS for both genders.

Transformation
In the first game NiGHTS shows the one-off ability to transform into a bobsled, an ability that was expanded upon in the sequel with the introduction of persona masks. Each mask allows NiGHTS to change his form and abilities accordingly, including those of a dragon, rocket and dolphin.

The spot was an ultimately, non stop, club which was located in Waycross North Carolina on Peg Leg- Trinity Church Rd, the spot was run by the two co-founders Adrian Romeo Mathis, and his cousin Elliot Joel Mathis. The two cousins came up with the idea in mid 2003, by far starting an unbelievably, non stop, action packed era for all the people within a 20 mile radius. The spots official Grand Opening was on July 4th, 2003 when the cousins decided to throw a major celebration for the 4th of July literally making an impact and showing how easy it is to start something from nothing. When the spot started out it was just an average old trailer which use to be owned by the two co founders cousin Darlene Middleton. The spot had 2 bedrooms, Two baths, kitchen, living room, etc. But with the creative minds of the cousins, they knocked down the main wall making a dance floor for all clubbas around, made a v.i.p room, separate bathrooms for men and women, and a separated room for people who needed their privacy when needed. The spot also had a huge display mirror with an 8 ball and the words THE SPOT painted on it, 2 disco balls, a mirror ball, 4-5 music speakers which literally made echos for miles, a strobe light, and blue moon light which shined off of peoples white clothes, and camera view in the V.I.P room so the Co-Founders can keep a good eye on everything going on. It was also noted that the kitchen was blocked off by a bungee chord to ensure no-one interrupts the chef or steals. The spot also use to serve their guests with the best food around, such as Chicken Wings, French Fries, Beer, and on occasions, shrimp and fish (Bass, or Spot Specifically).A funny thing about the spot was the process they had for making a major profit, usually using store bought food charging more, and sometimes having The Delivery Boy (Terrell Mathis) Adrian and Renee's son who was 14 years old at the time, run and deliver food from their house which was located directly across the street.It is also noted that on most major nights, the parking arrangements were very hard due to the fact that the spot was surrounded by a huge field, so most people parked either in front of the spot, or across the street at Adrians house in the front yard. (The spot also had its main events as well). The co-founders threw a party each and every Friday and Saturday Night no matter how big or small the crowd was. The latest part lasted until 6:49 A.M. the following morning making it the longest party ran in Waycross. The Co-founders also celebrated the 4th of July 3 years straight by far doing the impossible and literally making a statement. The spot also was where many parties and anniversaries, such as The Co-Founder Adrian Mathis and his current wife Renee Mathis which took place on August 23, 2003, or the other Co-Founder Elliot Mathis's birthday. Even though the spot wasn't the most extravagant, it always attracted an extremely large crowd, and changed everyones perspective of Waycross. It also started around late 2005 when "The Spot" began to lose its bang and attract fewer crowds than usual, often making it much harder to keep a good profit going. The spot was an era of excitement, but due to personal reasons, the place has been officially disbanded since early 2006
