Nathan Negromante

Locations: The Negromante Manor, Common Room at Marchand

---

The Family House

Nathan Cornelius Negromante had always loved the natural world and everything that came with it. He loved the feeling of seeing something living considering his magics involved death in all its forms. Most people expected the necromancer to be a grim and dark kind of person. They expected him to see the living world as some sort of abomination or that he needed to worship the goddess of death or something. They expected Nate to be wearing eyeliner and enough white make-up, so he would look like a demented mime walking around with corpses behind him. Everyone yet everyone had views on who he was.

People had so many different imaged of who or what Nathan Negromante was supposed to be. The general stereotype was that his family were baby killing cannibals. That they would break into villages with their armies of ghosts and zombies dragging the peasants away for their foul and unholy magics. According to rumors, the Negromantes would use these innocent peasants and add them to the ranks of their hellish crusades. That might have been the truth once upon a time, but they had changed a long time ago. The cheerful cannibal rumor had started when children had started to go missing in the village where the Negromante's lived near. Since it was easier to blame the local necromancers rather than investigate, they were believed to be the ones killing the children. Nate's ancestor had discovered that it was, in fact, a local blood mage. The Mage in question had gone mental believing that the blood of infants was all he could use for his powers. The Blood Mage had died but the cheerful rumor towards the Negromante Family lived on. They had been one of the Council families for close to half a century, but they still were seen as the magical equivalent of the Adams Family. They were most certainly creepy and most certainly kooky. No matter what they did, it was difficult for them to remove their stigma about being so creepy.

Then there was Nate. If anyone had sterotypes around them, then it was Nathan Negromante. To most people, Nathan was bizarre for a family of bizarre Mages. Most of his family were masters when it came to controlling ghosts and spirits. His Uncle used to be able to control an army of ghosts during the War before he died from a Cultist ambush. Nate had been named after him, but he had not gotten his Uncle's skill with ghosts. His family usually could see and command ghosts by the time that they were six years old. Nate couldn't see them until he was at least ten. However useless as his skill at using ghosts was, Nate was a great physical necromancer. That was not a big deal when your family used ghosts more than corpses. So, Nate was desperate to come to this school, so he could be like his family.

Nate was the third son and most people saw him as the Spare Heir. He knew that the gossips all talked about the bizarre Negromante who couldn't even talk to ghosts without feeling exhausted. He couldn't use his family's main ability without looking like he was about to blow chunks. His family was known for having strange habits involving the heir to the council seat. It usually was chosen from the male relatives of the current head. That meant Nate and his two brothers were the options for being heir. That thought led him back to the utterly cheerful letter in his lap. His grandfather had given it to his drive Jean-Baptiste so that Nate could get it when he got close to Marchand. The letter was written with the old man's curt handwriting and Nate could almost hear him talking in his ears as he read the Happy Letter from Home.

𝓣𝓱𝓲𝓼

Nate almost felt like crying from how warm and nice the letter was. For his family, this was positively cheerful. Nate knew that there was a chance that he could someday be the heir but he didn't want to be. There were all kinds of pressures involved with that and Nate didn't want or need that in his life. The family motto of Non Ducor, Duco (I am not Led, I lead.) was how Nate was supposed to live by. He never was supposed to be a follower but lead at whatever cost. Nate sighed as he got to the school.

"

Merci, Jean-Baptiste. I hope to do this..." Nate says as he got out of the family Mercedes with his suit cases. Nate was not the type to demand help and he could carry his supplies and his clothing. Nate was not the type to travel with fifteen bags filled with clothing. All he needed was his organ jars and his books to truly be happy. Nate wandered through the school until he found his dorm room. Since he had no idea who he was rooming with so he just left his suitcases in the room before he wandered back into the hallway.

As he walked, he could feel Fred manifesting next to him. The ghost had a nasty habit of showing up exactly when Nate didn't want or need him there. "You..... Cannnn.... Not... fail.... my.... mistress.... The ghost whispered into his ears sounding like leaves being pushed by the breeze. Nate glared behind his shoulder as he walked into the room. To anyone other than a Necromancer, it would appear that Nate was talking to himself. "Fred. I will not fail Mother. I am working on my incorporeal magics..." Nate said to the empty space behind his shoulder. It was then he noticed that he was not alone in the room. Everyone must have heard him babbling like a madman. Still he managed to to catch himself by smiling at the group present.

He only recognized a few of the people from the Council "Let's all Pretend that We Can Stand Each other long enough to for dinner" parties. Grandfather had always told him to make friends with the right kind of person. Nate had seen Larke "I expect you to be friends with him" Sterling and Percy "Another Council Family I expect you to befriend" Pelacour at parties where he had been forced to go to. So there might have been hope for him. Nate grabbed a bagel and as he walked past the group, a cold wind seemed to follow him. Fred was furious and the cold was his way of showing it.

Nate smiled at the group at the table. He recognized a few of them people but the two girls there were new to him. He smiled at the group while taking a seat near one end of the group. " Hey, Percy. Hey, Larke. Good to see I'm not the only Council kid here Guessing you both got the "Weight of Your Family Name" Speech? " Nate said figuring that they had been told the exact same thing that he had. Nate looked over at the other people he didn't recognize and gave them his best smile. " Oh... I don't believe we've met. I'm Nate. " Nate said trying for once to be confident and maybe for once have actual friends who were dead. That would make this school all the much better. He was expecting them all to get out the pitchforks and run him away. Most people didn't like talking to a guy who radiated cold like Nate did. He wanted for once to be liked for something other than he can summon the dead.

Nathan Negromante

Full Name: Nathan Negromante

Nicknames/Aliases: Nate, Paulo Dominum (Little Master)(The ghost servants called him that.)

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Primary: Necromancy, Corporal (A rarity in his family)

Secondaries of Interest/Secondaries
Healing and Blood Magic

Description:
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.

His Tatoo on his back

The Family Ring

Personality:
Many necromancers are all about bein grimdark with their gifts. 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.

Crush: 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.


Skills:
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.

Weaknesses:
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.


Brief History:

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.
