[i]Subject INK-0210[/i] | The alien creature that escaped his prison and saved Nathan for certain death on the fateful night. It was capable of fixing his wounds and temporary took control of the human to get to a safe and hidden place. Afterwards, it decided to reveal itself to the human. It wasn't a surprise that he naturally freaked out due to waking up in front of a "monster." When he asked for a name, it was confused. Unlike humans, it wasn't given a name other than "Subject INK-0210."

Nathan decided to give it the name of "Ink" due to its appearance. Before they left the hideout, he asked a question. "Why did you save me?"

It tried to think of an answer but couldn't. It felt something within Nathan that he never felt before compared to the other humans that it was forced to bond with. Something beautiful and terrifying at the same time. As the pair traveled across the country together, it was beginning to understand what he can and cannot do. It can expand his mass to create a face and body parts with ease. But it cannot mimic someone's appearance. It has super strength, durability and stamina. And it has the ability healing injuries in the host at a fast rate like it did when they met for the first time. However, it's liquid body makes them vulnerable to water and electricity. 

But, none of them know the long term effects on Nathan. It has never been host to a human for a long time and it might affect him in different ways. For now, he seems to be healthy. 

[i]Basic Survival Knowledge[/i] | Being homeless for the last two years shaped Nathan into the person that he is today. In addition, it taught him on how to survive in the city without a roof over your head and a source of income. He knows the dangerous parts of a city and dealt with a gang or two before leaving it for good. Both Nathan and Ink never stayed in one place for long and kept to the shadows. He also isn't afraid of dumpster diving whenever he has to. And doesn't get bothered by peoples' reactions to seeing him unlike Ink.

[i]Stealth[/i] | With help from Ink, Nathan was able to become a master thief and stole for the wealthy. Ink's dark fluid body makes them virtually invisible to the avenger human. Plus, Nathan's time in the street taught him how to flow with the crowd whenever he's in trouble.

[i]Bilingual[/i] | Nathan knows both English and Spanish thanks to his parents.[hr]
Nathan's last encounter with his parents, Abigail and Santino, ended with him stealing his father's car and leaving them in Illinois. It turned out that both of them were working for the Morgan Corp, the same bio-engineering corporation that created Ink. And they only sought out their son to capture his only friend. But, he refused to give him up and fought that soon turned violent. Security arrived to apprehend the both of them but it turned into a bloodbath. After the slaughter, he saw his whole family looking at him with disgust and terror especially his father. He took the car keys and left them behind, hoping that he never will see them again.
