He stands at about 6’4”(195 cm), and weighs in at roughly 215 lbs(97 kg) and takes physical fitness andl health very seriously, and it shows. Electric blue eyes and soft blond hair that he takes the utmost care of. His clothing styles, for the most part, prefers comfort over functionality, and he can most often be found wearing shorts and baggy t-shirts, even in the winter months, which he attributes to his heritage and origins in the northern European country of Sweden, despite having not been there in over a decade.[/INDENT] [B]| ABILITIES: |[/B] [INDENT][i][b]Psionic Armory[/b][/i][/indent] Nathan is able to create tangible weapons with his mind. The most common uses of this power are psionic blades and a psionic bow and seemingly endless quiver. His weapons manifest in a blue physical form. He favors a rapier in each hand, though he has shown that he is able to make a shield as well, though its durability is questionable. He is unsure of his upper limits and has forever favored this selection from his armory, as he fondly refers to it. In the future, it may expand to include other weapons. [i]Limitations and weaknesses[/i] [list][*][b]Concentration:[/b] Especially noteworthy as far as his bow goes, Nate is not able to keep the weapons useable without a strong degree of concentration, which can be shattered at keypoints in fights. He is much more competent and confident with his blades, but often shuts out the rest of his team during Danger Room scenarios to make sure he can maintain his weapons. [*][b]Length of Use:[/b] Though he has gotten much better at it over time, and will likely only improve, Nathan is exhausted rather quickly from the strain of creating and maintaining his weapons. He can push past his limitations, but it leads to him collapsing almost instantly upon dismissing his blades or bow. He prefers to stay in melee range because the blades are much less drawing on him. [*][b]Squishy:[/b] Nathan is simply that. He doesn’t have superhuman durability and isn’t capable of surviving more than a few well placed blows, despite doing his best to reach the pinnacle of natural durability. It simply doesn’t stand up to some of the things he’ll have to face. [*][b]Effectiveness:[/b] Against stronger telepaths than he, Nathan’s weapons are far less effective, unable to pierce powerful mental defenses. In time, if he hones his own mental strengths, this may change, but for now he is too focused on learning to wield his weapons to the best of his ability.[/list] [i][b]Telepathy, Telekinesis, and Mind Manipulation[/b][/i] While it’s very latent now, Nathan has shown brief bursts of telepathy and telekinesis, though none of it is nearly as well trained and honed as his armory is, due to him simply not wanting to use the power, perhaps out of fear. [i]Limitations and Weaknesses[/i] [list][*][b]Unrestrained:[/b] His telepathy and telekinesis have lashed out in the past against his will, leading to him reading unsuspecting minds and moving objects without meaning to. In his childhood, he would almost always get his way due to [i]changing[/i] things in his parents’ mind, though unintentionally. Now aware of what happened, Nathan is disgusted by these powers and blatantly refuses to currently train them. [*][b]Untrained:[/b] He is still liable to lashing out and often accidentally reads his peers’s minds. It frustrates him to no end and is one of his major shames. [*][b]Unwilling:[/b] He doesn’t want to have these powers, and wishes greatly that he could simply have his armory and be on his way. Unfortunately he lost--or won, depending on who you ask--the mutation lottery, and got the set.[/list] [B]| BIOGRAPHY: |[/B] [INDENT][list] [*]1997: He is born in Sweden to a British man and his Swedish wife on January 1st. His powers don’t manifest for some years, and he lives a mostly normal life. [*]2000: Though he doesn’t realize it until later, his telepathy and mind manipulating powers manifest as early as here, convincing his parents to spoil him more than a little. [*]2004: Begins to attend a boarding school and takes fencing classes [*]2006: His psionic armory kicks in at a junior fencing competition, and he is expelled from the boarding school. Confused, his parents send him to Xavier’s School, where he has been ever since. He tries to speak to his parents as often as possible, though they show little interest in him in return. His parents send him a monthly allowance. [*]2009: Begins to slowly cut off contact with his parents, having less and less interest in them. They continue to send the checks, and for a almost a year he doesn’t cash them. Around this time, he gives a brief attempt at learning to control his telepathy. [*]2010: He has a realization that he doesn’t need his parents, and that if they don’t want him, he doesn’t want them. He begins to return the checks, instead earning money doing odd jobs around the city and for the staff. He expresses interest in becoming an X-Man, even the leader of the group, and redoubles his efforts in the Danger Room and learning. Around this time, he requests private lessons with Shadowcat/Kitty Pryde due to her training in Japan. [*]2012: The Dark Phoenix incident happens, causing him to again shy away from his Telepathy powers, wondering if something similar could happen to him. [*]2013: He begins to grow a crush on Kitty Pryde. [*]2014: Professor Xavier passes away and it hits Nathan harder than he likes to admit. He requests, and--due to his age--is granted, an extended leave from the school. During this time he spends money he’d saved up and explores the large country, exercising his powers to save people in need. He keeps in contact with few people from the school at this time, namely Nightcrawler and Kitty to the best of his ability, though he’s very understand that they may be busier than he. [*]2015: He returns to Xavier’s School in February and goes back to his regular schooling and training. When people ask why he even came back, he cites a loss of money with a smile. In reality, he lost control of his powers and nearly killed a criminal that he was stopping somewhere near the American-Canadian border, which caused him to realize he needed more practice. [*]2016: Nathaniel continues his school and training, doing his best to get control and skill to a level where he can join the X-Men or perhaps be given a team all his own. He is looked up to by a lot of the younger students due to his relatively calm head and seniority.[/list][/indent] [B]| MISC. NOTES: |[/B] [INDENT][list][*]He has a huge crush on Kitty Pryde. Like he’s seriously infatuated with her. [*]He eats at least one strawberry with every meal [*]He tries to eat healthily, and tends to only drink water and a few select juices. [*]His favorite color is green and it slightly annoys him that his powers manifest in a blue shade [*]A natural born leader, he always tries to take charge whenever possible and aspires to eventually become the leader of the X-Men [*]Also looks up to Nightcrawler[/list] Strawberry Gatorade[/INDENT][/center] [CENTER][h3]Nathaniel’s Relationship Sheet[/H3][SUB][B][I]// [color=0072bc]Friend[/color] // [color=00a99d]Acquaintance[/color] // [color=f26522]Frenemy[/color] // [color=fff200]Rival[/color] // [color=ed1c24]Enemy[/color] // [color=ed145b]Crush[/color] //[/I][/B][/SUB][/CENTER] [INDENT][LIST] [*][B][color=0072bc]William Alexander][/color]:[/B] [INDENT][I]Nathaniel noticed Will’s lack of friends almost instantly and sort of took the younger lad under his wing. He helps Will out whenever possible, keeps some of the meaner kids in the school off of his back, and considers himself somewhat of a mentor the younger kid, encouraging Will to come to him whenever he needs help with schoolwork or training. He uses up some of his limited free time to help William work out how social situations work.[/I][/INDENT] [*][B][color=ed145b]Hollie Hollens[/color]:[/B] [INDENT][I]Hollie recently became Nathan’s favorite person at the school, with the only one in close contention being Kitty. He’s found a gorgeous girl who actually [b]loves[/b] him(or at least it seems that way, he’s still not too sure how this works…). Hollie brings out the best in him, and he in her. They’re [b]almost[/b] inseparable, to the point of sharing a room, and are extremely close, with few secrets between the two. He truly trusts Hollie and has confided many things in her. He’s not the best at the whole ‘dating’ thing, but is doing his best to be a boyfriend she can be proud of.[/I][/INDENT] [*][B][color=0072bc]Allison Andrews[/color]:[/B] [INDENT][I]Nathan appreciates Allison’s company and that their powers are similar in nature. Though he has Hollie, he sometimes finds himself going to Allison with frustrations about his telepathy and other mind-related powers. Nathan sometimes finds himself interested in her pre-cog powers, interested in how his own life will go, but ultimately isn’t brave enough to ask, deciding that he’d rather keep it a surprise.[/I][/INDENT] [*][B][color=ed1c24]Darren Grey[/color]:[/B] [INDENT][I]Nathan is not a fan of Darren, considering him to be a spoiled brat who has had everything handed to him. While Nathan is proud of his mutant genes, he feels Darren is the opposite, and it annoys him to no end. If Ryan hadn’t punched out Darren, Nathan would have done it.[/I][/INDENT] [*][B][color=00a99d]Ryan LeBeau[/color]:[/B] [INDENT][I]Nathan doesn’t appreciate Ryan’s sarcasm levels, but does appreciate his powers and skills in the Danger Room. Nathan tries, and for the most part succeeds, to keep it civil with Ryan, though there is one major issues between the two: Nathan can’t understand a damn thing the guy says… The accents are too much for Nathan, given that English is a second language for him. He often has to look to Hollie or whoever is near and either attempt to probe their mind or flat out ask for a translation. Nathan often says that trying to figure out what Ryan is saying is quickly becoming his main use of his Telepathy.[/I][/INDENT] [*][B][color=00a99d]William Irving[/color]:[/B] [INDENT][I]Nathan has made a solid attempt at trying to befriend Irving, but found that being around the younger man irked him and caused him to lose his smile. As a result, Nathan considers him, at best, an acquaintance. He would never fully shun someone with as many problems as William, and makes himself available to the other mutant if he requires any help, but for the most part he tends to avoid the Outsider.[/I][/INDENT] [*][B][color=00a99d]Lucas Pilgrim[/color]:[/B] [INDENT][I]Nathan likes Lucas’s powers. A lot. He thinks the flashbangs and explosions are eyecandy and pretty too look at. He likes that he trains hard in the Danger Room, and sees a kindred spirit in how Lucas feels indebted to the X-Men. In many ways, Nathan feels the same. In a year or two, Nathan believes he and Lucas will be much closer, and will both be members of the X-Men, or(as Nathan would prefer), an X-Team led by Nathaniel himself.[/I][/INDENT] [*][B][color=00a99d]Llavi Arutro De La Rosa[/color]:[/B] [INDENT][I]Nathan frankly stands no chance when it comes to pronouncing this character’s name, and instead refers to him with simple pleasantries, including, but not limited to: dude, bro, and man. Eventually, he’d like to learn to pronounce the first name, but for now doesn’t see it as a necessity. He finds his powers to be strange and different, yet interesting; in another world they might even be friends. Unfortunately, in this one, Hollie exists and is a thing with Nathan. As a result, Nathan’s arm around her gets slightly tighter whenever they’re around Llavi, simply because he knows she doesn’t like him, much at all. Nathan also doesn’t appreciate that Llavi can be rather disrespectful to his ‘TV Gringo’ girlfriend. Such is life.[/I][/INDENT] [*][B]:[/B] [INDENT][I]Short explanation of reasons behind the classification.[/I][/INDENT] [*][B]:[/B] [INDENT][I]Short explanation of reasons behind the classification.[/I][/INDENT][/LIST][/INDENT]
