[hider=Nathan Negromante] [center][img]https://thefunimalscribe.files.wordpress.com/2015/08/stevestrait.png[/img] [b]Full Name:[/b] Nathan Negromante [b]Nicknames/Aliases:[/b] Nate, Paulo Dominum (Little Master)(The ghost servants called him that.) [b]Age:[/b] 17 [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Primary:[/b] Necromancy, Corporal (A rarity in his family) [b]Secondaries of Interest/Secondaries[/b] Healing and Blood Magic [b] Description:[/b] Nate does not look like he has the power to command the undead to serve him. The young man looks more like he average Prep you would see at a common high school. Except that this Prep has an odd asortment of magical things around him. His family puts physical perfection as paramount and thus Nate is a little obsessed with looking his best. Unlike many necormancers, Nate doesn't look like he has spent his whole life in a tomb without a bit of sunlight. The family has a public face and Nate was being groomed to be the next head of Negromante Biotechnology. That meant he needed to look his best at all times. Nate prefers to wear designer clothing despite how dirty his magic can be. It is so hard to get dirt and blood from your expensive leather shoes. Like most of his family, Nate was marked when he was still young. This mark was placed on his back when he turned 13 as a sign that he had been accepted by the entire family. On that day,his father gave him one of the family rings to show his place in society. Nate always seems to be wearing the ring and it is his most prized possession.

They mope around talking about their sad lots in life or their love and worship of Death in all her forms. Nate is not one of those people. His idea of a necromancer is someone who doesn't act the part. He can summon the dead with the best of them but he doesn't have to wear guyliner and nope about it. Nate is generally a cheerful guy who genuinely cares about helping people with his less than pure magic. He was raised in a rather large family so he tries to get along with everyone. Nate tends to talk to his ghosts and his zombies like anyone can hear them. It's a bit odd but he was raised around ghosts and he undead. They are normal to him. It takes a lot to truly scare him when it comes to death. [b]Crush:[/b] None but tends to prefer Anyone who doesn't run away screaming from his magic. That is not easy when you command the undead to do your bidding. [b]Skills:[/b] Excellent Corporal Necromancer : Nate was taught from a young age on how to use the undead to serve him. His skill is more in the corporal for now. He can have control over the spirits but they are more as advisors or scouts. Hands of an Embalmer: Nate was taught from a young age that a well put together corpse makes a better minion. That means that Nate was taught how to preserve a body for long time use. A corpse has no use if it is just rotting away. Since his family came from Egypt a long time ago, they kept their traditions of mummification but that takes way too long for a basic zombie. Nate has a steady hand from years of Anatomy training on animated zombies. If he has the time to preserve them ,then he will. If not then regular zombies will do in a pinch. Tactically gifted: Nate was taught to use his undead like chess pieces. His family has a life sized chess board that uses the undead as pieces to teach control. Nate isn't at that level yet but he's got a gifted mind for tactics. It helps with the family business. He can plan ahead should need be. [b]Weaknesses:[/b] Does not have an off switch for his mouth: When Nate is on the Warpath, he just will not stop talking. It gets him in trouble. Sheltered: His parents kept him locked in the family estate while he was being taught. That means he doesn't know a lot about the world as a whole unless he got his siblings to tell him. His family: He is desperate to prove to them that he can do this. That means he would do almost anything to keep his family from finding out when he does something wrong. He is easily black mailed using that threat. [b]Brief History:[/b] The recorded history of the Negromante Family starts all the back in Renaissance Italy. The family had been practicing Necromancers for thousands of years it it wa draw actions of the Noble lord Lugui Giancarlo that cemented them as a major magical house. Through his actions he made his family great and a major player in the Italian magical world. However it did earn them a new name, Negromante or Necromancer in Italian. Instead of shaming them, they embraced the name. They were seen as important enough to earn that name. Years past and a pattern would grow. The family didn't care about who inherited what but they cared more for the strength of the family. A group of laws were made to keep them all safe and not at each other's throats. Power would be distributed equally among the children and thus they wouldn't send armies of the dead to kill each other. Then there was the pattern of their powers. The clan could use both kinds of necromancy but usually would show a preference for spirit magics. Corporal specialty was rare among their bloodline but when it showed up, the child usually had great skill in it. Nathan Cornelius Negromante was born on the Eve of All Hallows as the fourth child in the family. From the day he was born, Nate was slated to take over the family Company Negromante Biotech and that meant he would be sheltered from the magical world politics. Nate was an odd child especially for his family. Usually by the age of three, they could at least see ghosts but Nate seemed to ignore them as if there was nothing there. His father ,worried about his son, summoned his spirits to understand why his son couldn't see them. They responded that Nate could in fact see them but he just didn't seem to acknowledge them as being there. They theorized that it meant his magic was bound more towards the corporal. A year later, his parents got their proof. Nate was about six years old when he came running into the house with an odd bird in his hands. From the outside it looked like a pigeon but there was one major issue. The animal appeared to have a broken neck but still seemed to have a facade of life. When they asked Nate, he responded that he had "waked the hurt bird up". That was the first creature he ever animated and it was an important moment in his life. His parents were so happy about this power that they started Nate's training the next day. The biggest issue was that no one in his family were corporal necromancers and that meant Nate would have to be taught by the ghosts. Many of them had been in the employ of Nate's Great grandfather who had been the last Corporal Necromancer. Nate spent a good deal of his training from the books that his ancestor's books to try and learn more about his gift. Nate spent a good deal of his life hiding in the family mansion since his parents wanted to keep him away from the chaos that was the magical world. Nate was someday going to be the head of the Family company. However, his parents were of the belief that he owned nothing unless he earned it himself. Nate managed to play the mortal stock market using his large amount of time. He wasn't exactly wealthy but he could support himself. Some day the company would be his and he would have all the money he would need. Unlike many rich families, the Negromante's were always very close. Dinners were always a family affair and nothing spelled fun like ghosts throwing tables and chairs around the dining room. Nate enjoyed his younger life until eventually they got the letter for Marchand and originally the plan was to send Nate's younger brother but his Grandfather, the head of the family, stepped in and told them to send Nate instead. It was not often that the Negromante's had a flesh necromancer in the family and that meant a lot is resting on Nate to succeed here.
