YEARBOOK QUOTE:
"We're young. We're supposed to drink too much. We're supposed to have bad attitudes and shag each other's brains out. We are designed to party. This is it. Yeah, so a few of us will overdose or go mental. But Charles Darwin said you can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs. And that's what it's all about. Breaking eggs! And by eggs, I do mean, getting twatted on a cocktail of Class A's."
PERSONALITY:
Nathan is a jackass. Plain and simple. Buuuut if you need more …
Like most fictional characters, Nathan started his life with an abundance of daddy issues. His father, when present in his life, was very neglectful. Nathan claims that for his eighth birthday, his father took him to an IKEA store and left him there for hours, during with a pedophile found him and bought him Swedish meatballs. But eventually his parents divorced, leaving Nathan with his mother. He's very protective of her, and drives away all of her boyfriends by being himself. He claims to be "the classic example of an only child," and with his obnoxious, self-centered behavior, he really is. He refuses to mature past the age of 12.
And when I say he refuses to mature past the age of 12, I really mean it. He's immature, uses every waking moment as an opportunity for innuendo or rude and generally obscene behavior, and has no idea when to stop when it comes to harassing the ladies. Or boys. Or everyone. He's a giant bully with no boundaries. He (and other students presumably) caused a classmate to have a nervous breakdown and transfer schools. There is just no sense of tact or boundaries when it comes to him. Unsurprisingly, he's a chauvinist pig on top of being a bully.
But, if you dig deep enough (very very deep), Nathan is a person with normal feelings just like everyone else. It hurts him when his mother has enough of his shit and throws him out (although that isn't happening in this AU), and he's visibly upset when he calls his friends looking for a place to stay and they, also no strangers to how he abuses and mistreats other people, tell him to fuck off. He has rare, occasional moments of kindness and sincerity. He also has a great deal of pride, an example of this being lying to his mother and telling her that he found his flat so he doesn't have to move back in with her when she allows him to, even though the truth is that's he's homeless and living in the community center.
[IF YOU ARE AGING YOUR CHARACTER DOWN] HOW WILL AGING YOUR CHARACTER DOWN AFFECT THEIR PERSONALITY?
Nathan is 21 in canon but still acts … very much like a high school boy. So nothing will really change. Except I still want him to have some of the same memories and experiences of stuff that happened in the series, so it really is all the same thing except aged down.
AU HISTORY: Nathan transferred last year from England. And has been making life at West High a magical place ever since. One where he has detention pretty much every day for some stupid shit he did. The ~storm~ happened before he left. He still hasn't figured out what his mysterious superpower is, but he's s-so convinced he has one.
THIRD-PERSON WRITING SAMPLE:
Attempt number … actually, he'd lost track of how many times he'd been doing this stupid shit since the storm. But it was attempt number sticking his head in a bucket full of water and seeing how long he could breathe there.
The answer turned out to not be all that long.
It was such bullshit. After being electrocuted -- which probably could have killed him, by the way -- you'd figure he'd get something out of it. Okay, maybe breathing under water was boring as fuck compared to being able to climb up walls and do Spiderman shit or super strength, but it'd be a whole lot more than the big pile of nothing he had right now.
And how unfair was it? Seriously. The chav got to read minds -- and that was awful, considering how many times he'd thought about shagging her. It wasn't like he could just turn his brain off and stop. The ex-athlete got to turn back time, and the high maintenance bitch got some … freaky ass sex touch thing. Even the weird kid got an ability! Fuck him and his invisibility bullshit. Like he'd use it for anything besides sneaking into his sister's room and wanking to her undressing. If Nathan had that power, he'd use it for … well, the same thing. But not with his sister (and not just because he didn't have one.) Even Nathan Young knows to draw the line at incest, okay.
Speaking of, he looked up from his bucket to see weird kid filming him with his stupid cellphone. Did he ever stop being weird and creepy?
FIRST-PERSON WRITING SAMPLE:
Okay, so, I have a very pertinent question. The answer may change your entire life.
If a bear and a shark got into a fight, who would win?
You may think the shark. But I believe in the shark, even on land. Handsome devils, they are. Did you see that special on the Discovery Channel with the bloke who punched one in the face? I bet I could do that. Imagine all the pussy I'd get.
