Name: Nathanial 'Nate' Dalamud
Gender: Male
Age: 22
Birthday: 18th March
Sexuality: Straight
Special Characteristics: Has a single black stud in his left ear. He also looks younger than one would expect, seeming to look like a teen around 18 rather than being an adult aged 22.
Personality:
Out of Combat:
Nathanial is a very outgoing and friendly person who will always try his best to get along with someone regardless of whether their first impression is a good one or not, but not to the point of surrendering a part of himself to please them. This friendly attitude is perhaps mostly down to his need to have people around him to distract himself from his own imaginings and fears. He will often lend his ear to those around him and attempt to help them out however he can. Yet in spite of these offers he would never speak a word of what bothers him when he's upset, partially because he doesn't like to disturb others with his issues and partially simply because he'd rather deal with said issues rather than let others interfere and potentially make things worse. This alone is enough to show that he is incredibly independent bordering stubbornness, which often clashes with his apparent need to be around people and resulting in him bottling the problems up until they start to show signs of wearing him down.
To help him cope with things - as well as simply to earn money and pass time - Nathanial likes to work. In particular he likes the more physical labours, such as crafting materials and structures (often of his own design) or simply running parcels and the like from A to B. It should be noted however that he has the attention span of a gnat; that is to say he is very easily distracted albeit often for only a short time before he returns to the situation or job at hand.
There are some occasions when he will not be distracted though, and these occasions are usually a result of him being seriously PO'd to the point of ignoring everything and everyone bar those involved in the job at hand. This is due to his own fear of his more violent streak, one brought on by a temper more fiery than an Irishman searching for his last potato, albeit perhaps considerably less quick to ignite. This temper, unless he is kept in check, will cause him to completely lose control of his senses, turning into a violent wrecking machine that is not easily quelled. Yet once he has calmed he has absolutely no recollection of anything he has done while in this state, which is the reason he fears his temper and hides it as much as possible.
In Combat:
Nathanial does not naturally like to fight unless provoked, preferring to solve issues through more diplomatic means. Nonetheless he will fight with very little restraint should the need arise,
stopping only so that he doesn't take the life of another. His initially diplomatic approach allows him time to learn a little of his opposition and figure out some sort of a plan to fight them, making him a valuable - if not always entirely reliable - strategist in team fights.
As far as leadership goes, Nathanial would actually make a great leader if only his self-confidence didn't hold him back. Should he be confident more confident in himself than his allies then he will step forward and lead the charge. Should there be someone who he feels is overshadowing him then he will shrink into the background and do as he's ordered to do, instead simply opting to make a good impression upon that person by performing his role to perfection and beyond.
Likes:
- Fire; Nathanial is a little bit of a pyromaniac, although not to the point of being psychotic and turning to arson. Something about flames seems to really catch him, whether it be the heat and light generated, or simply enjoying the flames dancing.
- Working; Even in his world Nathanial was a diligent worker. He particularly loves crafting things from a variety of materials, whether it be drinks or building a full-sized wardrobe. Once he sets his mind on a task he will see it through to the end.
- People; Particularly in this 'new' world, Nathanial finds people interesting. Each one is unique with different likes and dislikes. In this world, even people's magics are unique, giving him a new perspective with which to view the people around him.
Dislikes:
- Assholes; Let's be honest, how many times have you met an obnoxious prick that you just want to punch in the face repeatedly? While Nathanial's temper is usually kept well in check, there are some people that are just destined to be annihilated. Nate is all too happy to oblige.
- Sweet foods; Not all sweet foods per se, but most sweet foods are just too much for Nathanial. He has a more savoury taste.
- Early Mornings; Any time before 8am is considered far too early to be awake. Should he be awake before this time, Nathanial will get in a major grump and be next to useless until about midday.
- Being alone; If left alone for a long period of time, Nathanial's brain will immediately kick into overdrive and give him terrifying thoughts and imaginings of how his family and friends are back in his world.
Motivations:
- How did I get here?; Nathanial has no idea how he reached the world of Earthland and, as such, wishes to find out more as to how he got here and why.
- Make the most of it; While he may not understand why he's in Earthland and while he may want to return home, Nathanial is a man who likes to make the most of any situation he's in and this is certainly no different.
- I have magic now?!; Having come from a world where magic is fictional, Nathanial is excited to now have the ability to cast magic and wishes to see what he can do with it.
Fears:
- Being unable to return home; Above all else Nathanial fears not seeing the faces of those he's left behind in his world.
- Flying insects; Long story short, something happened in his youth that put him off flying insects for life. Now he will run a mile if even a butterfly so much as flutters past him.
- Deep water; Nathanial cannot swim. It is just that simple.
General Appearance
Height: 6 feet and 4 inches
Weight: 146lbs (until he casts magic anyway)
Hair: Nathanial has dark brown hair that reaches to the base of his neck and is generally untampered with - yet it still turns out rather neat, much to the chagrin of many who spend hours slaving over their hair.
Eyes: Green-grey
Skin Tone: Pale
Appearance: Nathanial is rather an unsuspecting individual; nothing about him particular causes him to grab anyone's attention. His clothing is rather plain, just your typical t-shirt, jacket, jeans and converse shoes kinda guy. He is rather slim as well, which causes him to easily fade into the background of the world around him. Yet there is something there which causes him to occasionally stand out almost permanently upon being noticed, as if there is more to him than meets the eye.
