Nate’s hair is kept mostly groomed and mostly combed to perfection; although some days it might just be left a shaggy mess like Nate’s life. [color=50c878][b]Eyes:[/b][/color] Brilliantly blue like a sapphire gem. [color=50c878][b]Height & Weight:[/b][/color] 6’2, 175lbs [color=50c878][b]Body Type:[/b][/color] Athletic enough. He is not unreasonably so but enough to seem healthy for all of the walking around he does. [color=50c878][b]Clothing Style:[/b][/color] When it comes to his fashion sense, Nate isn’t exactly fancy. Of course, he’s kind of poor, so he doesn’t have the option of being fancy. Even if he did, he wouldn’t because he’s somewhat of a simpleminded guy both in personality and what he wears. He’s casual to the max and wears whatever fits and feels comfortable. Above all else, he’s 100% about the #comfortlife. He has a closet full of jackets and single-colored shirts but only a few pairs of slacks and jeans. He gets them in bulk from the goodwill stores nearby and even the thrift store by his neighborhood had some interesting items of interest. [color=50c878][b]Scars, Tattoos and/or Piercings:[/b][/color] Nope.

He doesn’t fit into just one circle. He’s an artist, a romantic (hopelessly so), he also plays sports. Nate is overtly friendly, will hug someone if he feels they need it, doesn’t mind giving someone a high five upon meeting them. Whether or not these gestures of friendship are well-received remains to be decided, but he’ll do them regardless (sometimes to himself so he doesn’t feel excluded). Truth be told, he’s weird like that but only because it covers up not wanting to be left alone nor hanging. He wouldn’t want to be left hanging so he doesn’t do it either. He’s very introspective and wears his heart on his sleeve. Some might say that leaves him open to being taken advantage of, but to him, it's just Nathan Blake being as authentic as he possibly could. He smokes a lot of weed, so he’s mostly chill and laid back, which might open him up for a lot of companionships of varying kinds. As someone who is down to do whatever as long as it’s not going to require a lot of activity on his part, Nate is down for it. Though be warned! Nate can tend to be just a tad obnoxious and hard to deal with, especially if someone might take life or the actions of others a lot more seriously than they should.[/indent] [center][hr][img]https://i.imgur.com/p69UnQN.gif[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/Q0aHbQu.gif[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/CtPVqx0.gif[/img][hr][/center] [color=50c878]Upbringing Synopsis[/color] [indent]In a nutshell, Nate’s life has been nothing but disappointment but not to himself. He is the only person he hasn’t disappointed, but when it comes to his father, grandfather, and basically everyone who might’ve thought he had the Blake potential to be like his WWII vet grandfather and his father, who was a vet of several wars in the late 80s until present day. The tradition of the Blake family was manditory military enrollment. It was never enforced because the Blake men (as in those born to Harvey Jr’s sister and three brothers) [i]wanted[/i] to enroll. Nate felt strongly about that and wanted to be like his grandpa and father but at a young age, he was diagnosed with asthma, which put any future in the marines to a full stop. Over the years, even though Harvey never said it out loud, he grew increasingly disappointed in Nate. This was something that was received loud and clear. He tried not to let it come to the surface if he could help it, especially when he had his mother, Fiona and two sisters, Hannah and Patricia to consider. When his father took a prolonged assignment that had him stationed across the Atlantic, that made Nate the man of the house. Even in a progressive age where being “the man” wasn’t as important, Nate knew he had to do his part. His mother worked like a dog and was mostly gone through the night, so really it was him and his sisters. They lived in Los Angeles, but attended Beverly Hills High School. There he became acquainted with some folks who were like family to him (and some who had more of a personal impact on him). Nate wasn’t the type to excel academically. He got by and was able to move up the grades, but he wasn’t a scholar. Eventually his father caught wind of this and, though it was clear he was disappointed in his son, Harvey wasn’t going to allow his son to shit on the family name anymore than he already had (his words, not Nate’s). So he pulled a lot of strings and moved funds enough to ensure that Nate was given a mainstay at Meadow University, Harvey Jr and Harvey Sr’s alma mater. So that’s Nate’s story. A life full of being the family disappointment all because of a diagnosis he didn’t ask for nor could he do anything about. His father might not blame him but Harvey was terrible at emoting what he really felt, so whatever came after the fact just lingered in Nate’s mind. It’s why he suffered in his life, it’s why he smokes a lot of weed and why he keeps to himself a lot. But despite his adversity, he never let it get him down. His father might’ve sucked and his mother worked too much (he just hopes she can find a point where rest is in her future), but none of that spoiled his appetite for having a good time. [i]That[/i] is what makes Nate the Great and that’s what really got him by in his darkest hours.[/indent] [color=50c878]Family[/color] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/HG7K9Tx.png[/img][/center] [indent][b]Harvey Nathaniel Blake Jr portrayed by Jim Caviezel[/b] // 55 // Father // Captain with the US Army, stationed whereabouts unknown.

What this means is he'll hug or high five someone. Should they deny him, he'll do it to himself. Never leave a bro hanging. ✋ Despite his build, he is actually quite athletic and plays sports. His three are soccer, football, baseball in which he has the goalie, backup runningback, and catcher positions respectfully (in high school). ✋ You might as well call him a stoner too because he smokes -- or eats, he doesn't care -- a lot of weed. He does it so he can cope with his anxiety and stress at home. ✋ Nate isn't a professional photographer nor does he have the skills of that Alex kid, but he loves taking pictures and regularly takes selfies of himself and others. His favorite thing is to photobomb, although other people are probably not as much of a fan of it he is. #saycheese ✋ Due to his strained relationship with his father and general lack of respect for authority, Nate regularly breaks rules, which only enhances his need to go on wild adventures. That being said, he does try to follow at least some rules ...so that he can break them the next time around. #multitaskingftw ✋ Rainy days. They are a huge damper on his good vibes, which he loves so much! ✋ Math and English might as well be his worst enemies because he can't seem to get along with them one bit. ✋ I really also like About Time [/indent] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/X8C4iMI.gif[/img] [sub][color=50c878][b]Grant Gustin[/b][/color] || [color=50c878][b]Emerald (#50c878)[/b][/color][/sub][/center] [/color] [/hider]
