Personality:
Nathaniel is very free loving. He often feels constrained by the small town he's in and his family relationships, and relationships in general. Although he first strikes many as a happy, chill guy, he is bitter and and angry about his lack of freedom, and his brother. Even in school he felt rejected, due to no one really being able to relate to his feelings. Nathaniel is disenchanted with society as a whole, as many people see his looks and only see what they want to see; most of the time he uses that to his advantage, since he long gave up on trying to convince people otherwise. He's average in most things he does, although he packs a mean punch. Like every other person he's broken, although it shows through if you catch him at a certain moment. His family is decent enough which only adds to the fact that Nathaniel feels at odd with the atmosphere and his friends. He has difficulty trusting people knowing everyone is human. Some would call him jaded, a skeptic, along with many other things. Even if you go beneath the surface of who he is as a person, and have a deep talk with him, the next day, things will be as if that talk never happened. He figures in the busy city, he can at least distract himself from his own loneliness. He lives his life alone and he doesn't expect to ever really trust someone. Although he dislikes judgmental people, Nathaniel sees himself as being shallow and judgmental, usually deciding fairly quickly whether he dislikes someone.
Likes
Surfing, Fishing (sort of), water, forests (sometimes), climbing and cliff diving, felines
Dislikes:
responsibility, Garret, waiting, kids, deserts, clingy, cheery people or those involved in and discuss charity work (charity doesn't hold any appeal for him much less does he want to hear about it), trends (he doesn't really understand them), drugs,
falling, pets (generally speaking - he finds them dirty. He likes cats but they are the only exception. He doesn't like fur (dirt is no problem) all over him. He'll happily bond with a kitten though or any sort of feline. He doesn't mind
other people's pets, just doesn't want to have a pet that is not a cat)
Pet Peeves:
People who cannot just watch a movie - they have to be doing something else WHILE watching the movie.
Brief History/Biography
Nathaniel grew up in the seaside town, Polperro, a renown quaint fishing village. This atmosphere and association is kept up even in modern times, with fishing boats tied down just across the street from the houses. Nathaniel's dad taught him how to fish, but preferred to take his son camping. Many trips were made driving from the ocean to the forests. There his father would make him chop wood, as a way of building character. All the excess wood needed to go somewhere so Nathaniel also learned how to make various structures out of the wood. As soon as Nathaniel was of age he was signed up for boy scouts, and learned basic survival skills, which Nate is impartial to. His favorite place is Porthleven. When Nathaniel turned 10, the family took a summer vacation near Porthleven, and it was there Nathan learned how to surf. Water is his passion, and he loves the sea, the beach, and he'll even tolerate fishing to be by the ocean. When it comes to fighting, he learned as a way to get out of some of his anger. He knows where to throw his punches and how to move on his feet, along with knife skills. Nathaniel always wanted the thrill of an adventure, as he grew up reading many adventure novels, and surfing in a bigger busier town only increased his longing to be able to see the hustle and bustle of the city.
Although his family is very connected to each other, Nathaniel himself feels very distant from them, especially his two siblings, his older brother, sister and younger brother. It was not due to a lack of love on their part, his parents, and siblings had good intentions. Something he doesn't like people to know is that he is estranged from his older brother, Garret. They never saw eye to eye, and Nathaniel always saw his older brother's taking responsibility, and success in life, as something he could never be. He knew his older brother disapproved, and disliked him and even more so at extended family gatherings where Garret would make it clear he was not associated with his younger sibling.
To ease his loneliness Nathaniel starts up conversations on the net, which is how he met Charles Blake from Georgia. They struck up a friendship, and when Charles invited Nathaniel to visit him, Nathaniel saw his chance to see a big city, as a ship was going from New York to Georgia. He told his family that it was a boating trip to visit an old friend, hoping it would lower the amount of questions that would follow (it didn't), but his family eventually relented. He has never met Charles Blake in person.
