     Lazy | Blunt | Insensitive | Self-Indulgent | Passive | Contradictory

    Often perceived as an unmotivated individual with the tendency to zone out, but beyond it lies an adventurous mind and a firm believer that experience is the best teacher. Nathaniel is someone who mostly chooses to go with the flow to avoid troubles and prefers to sit on the sidelines, but will not hesitate to quietly cross the boundary when it obstructs his goals. Although scattered, he is generally observant, always quick to notice things yet rather tight-lipped about it unless absolutely necessary. He prefers to do things at his own pace and holds freedom on high value, and is more than happy to give it to anyone but will demand the same in return. While he does enjoy his personal space, he doesn't mind an occasional company and finds himself enjoying discussions that gets his gears turning, although initiating it himself is unlikely.

    Nathaniel likes the "good things" in life and sought for it whenever possible. He leads the leisurely life and tends to find his way to it, sometimes even when the situation is unfavorable. Calm and mostly hard to anger, he usually opts to let things slide simply because he finds it too tiring to deal with, but will take rigid stance when personal value is concerned. He values honesty to a certain degree and doesn't like to sugarcoat his opinions, preferring to voice his opinions in brutal honesty that may left others hurt or aggravated without him realizing it before it's too late. Nathaniel's awareness of his struggle to discern emotional cues and the continuous failure to keep himself from accidentally stepping on other's feet is what leads him to rely on a more straightforward method of communication.
    Despite his directness, sometimes dealing with problem isn't the top priority. When things gets rough he is likely to turn his back and indulge himself in various things, most notably foods. He holds a somewhat laid-back outlook in life, believing things will somehow work out which contributes to his lazy disposition. In fact, his laziness mostly stems from his confidence in the remarkable intelligence and resourcefulness he possesses which had been proven numerous times to trample over his past obstacles with relative ease. This, however, does not mean he underestimates things. He is driven to understand things from numerous points of view along with its vast possibilities which makes him well-equipped in various situations, although the very same thing tends to be the source of his own headache and in most cases brings uncertainty or worse, stop him dead in his tracks.


▴ BACKGROUND ▾

    Crestwood born and raised. Nathaniel would have gone overseas if not for his young age. Instead, the toddler stayed behind at the request of his mother while Merideth, the eldest child seized the opportunity and joined their father on his business travels. It wasn’t until their departure that the woman’s true color began to emerge. She was neglectful, setting most of her responsibilities aside to revel more in the life of luxury as the mistress of the Dumont Estate. As a result, Nathaniel grew up with no particular attachment to the family, nor did he bother to familiarize himself with the very concept of it. Having too much accustomed to the solitary home life, he managed to keep himself entertained through reading, particularly on studies of machinery and animals. He even taught himself photography, a favorite escape in which he would stroll with his friends around the bizarre-reputed town, not that he cared about it anymore.


    His father and sister returned when he was twelve, and it turned out to be difficult for the boy who had little to no memories of them. The amount of interactions had him staggered at first, especially the ones with his sister, Merideth who enjoyed teasing him. As strange as it felt, Nathaniel couldn’t help but enjoy the attention he received and gradually began to return the gesture. What came after was a growing adoration for his only sister, whom he perceived as equal to both mother and sister figure. Their parents’ eventual divorce and the prolonged absence of their father only served to strengthen it. The boy wanted nothing more than to make her proud, and the motivation gave rise to his already stellar academic performance, eventually delving into the fields of Mechanical Engineering at the age of sixteen. By the time he reached this new height, Nathaniel realized his adoration was ever-growing and that he wished for something more. This, coupled with Merideth’s occasional advances ultimately bore an affair, one that was kept behind closed door.


    The blissful time they spent together didn't last, however, Merideth ended the relationship following his graduation and later revealed that his feelings were in fact, never mutual. Faced with a reminder of what they should be, he had no choice but to back away. With his motivation chipped off and the reassurance to loosen up now that he had acquired a degree, the young man decided to halt his pursue of knowledge in favor of expanding his experience. Thus the next two years did not go to complete waste, it even granted him the opportunity to rekindle his bonds with some familiar faces of the past, two being Kurenai Asai and Mercredi Paradis who ultimately inspired him to regain enough motivation to continue his studies. His choice once again landed on his former educational institution, namely Crestwood University, simply for its convenient location. And so he was off to a start, now with the intent of pursuing a more focused study where he could contribute to the exploration of the ocean frontier...and taking it easy while he's at it.
