He has relatively long blond hair which he keeps well combed, to go with blue eyes and white skin with the barest hint of a tan. He usually dresses formal, favoring a suit of some kind. That isn't to say that he doesn't wear other clothes if he feels it necessary to do so, it's just that his default state is formal. Has a toned physique built for the job that he engages in, which can involve hand to hand fighting or a lot of physical activity such as running and working.<br/><strong>Personality: </strong>Calm, courteous, Nathaniel is not one who is quick to anger. He has quite the reserve of patience and can put up with a lot, and when he sets his mind to a task he acts with quick determination and resolve. Tends to always be busy doing something, whether it is setting up for the job that he is on, taking care of his gear, casing out a location. Has a fine focus for detail and a good memory to accompany it. Doesn't tend to get attached to people, and also tends to think more on the realist side of the spectrum rather than being an optimist.<br/><strong>Backstory: </strong>How does one even become an assassin in the first place? Well, Nathaniel does not know who his parents were, and his earliest memories are of growing up inside an orphanage. Initially bouncing off of a couple foster families, he was eventually taken away by some men in suits who said that he would be growing up as part of some corporate 'poor' initiative, whatever that meant. But they had backing from the government at the time, so no one argued with them.<br/><br/>This, of course, was not actually the case. It was merely a cover story for the program that Nathaniel was to be involved in. Under the aegis of this group he would be initially trained, and then sent off to the 'Village Hidden Behind the Beer Pong Table' in order to better refine the skills that he had been given. He distinguished himself in the upper levels of his fellow classmates, always quick to learn and take in the lessons of those above him.<br/><br/>As for why he's here, well, that's classified. He can't go about revealing his assignments, now can he? ;)<br/><strong>Primary Ability: </strong><em>Assassination</em>- In something that is fairly obvious, Nathaniel has been carefully trained in the art of assassination. This includes the usage of poisons, guns, arranging 'accidents', explosives, and any other tool that he might need to get the job done. The poisons part has left him with a slight immunity as a result, though heavy doses will still be able to affect him (not that he expects to get anything except food poisoning here, if that). It has also given him an intimate knowledge of human anatomy, which can be useful in more than just strictly his job.<br/><strong>Two Secondary Abilities: </strong>Acting - A somewhat required skill for an assassin, Nathaniel is good as an actor, fitting in with the crowd and making himself seem like he belongs so he can get close to a target. Having more preparatory time generally makes this more effective, but he is able to make do in a pinch.<br/><br/><em>Melee combat</em>- Naturally, while being adept in assassination he is also skilled in several forms of hand to hand fighting. This is useful if things go bad, or if he has to fight as part of infiltration. He might not be the best fighter in the world, but he can hold his own against most opponents.<br/><strong>Three Things Your Character Likes: </strong>Firearms, well tailored clothing, classical literature.<br/><strong>Three Things Your Character Dislikes: </strong>Improvised weapons, reporters, laziness<br/><strong>Treasured Possession: </strong>The spent metallic cartridge from the bullet that made his first kill as an assassin. Has a tendency to rub it for good luck, or simply when he's thinking. It doesn't provide any special properties, but he enjoys having it on his person.<br/><strong>Player Ons and Offs: </strong>Player O/O (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=260035.msg12838149#msg12838149), but the player is pretty open to things in general if he's well motivated.<br/><strong>Character Ons and Offs: </strong>Nathaniel has some experience, and is willing to entertain quite a bit when properly motivated. Prefers to stay on the less violent/grisly side of things, but depending on the situation he can go further.
