DETAILED Nathan is probably the cockiest guys you have ever seen. He thinks of himself highly, as because of his foster father, who has trained him to have pure self confidence and a good thought about himself, as to not putting himself down. He defends himself quite well and does whatever it takes to make himself the brightest star among the brightest stars there already are. Some people say it's because he's English, but it's because he can't seem to make himself feel good without letting it show to other people. And maybe that went a bit overboard, and made people dislike him (because he's hardly likeable, Nathan is). He always tried to convince himself he was a good kid, and his foster father pushed him to become the most arrogant thing and possibly, the greatest thing that was ever alive. He believes it sometimes, but he doubts it, when he's in his right mind.

The fact that his ego is bigger than him himself is disturbing. It can be true, but it's just crazy. Nathan finds that his ego isn't big, his self esteem is just high. But that's not true at all. Nathan is the ego itself. He thinks he's the best, and he thinks he can beat anyone to everything in the world, may it be a country ot a piece of fluffymarshmallow, or even the slightest small seed of sacred mangoes. Again, this isn't his fault, it was his foster father's, who does think he's the cutest thing in the world until now.

When you say selfish, it's not just material things. There's things that are not seen nor heard -- like for example, the spotlight or maybe love -- that Nathan can be selfish about. He steals everything, from friends to indigo long sleeved sweaters. His first entirely selfish experience was when he was a little doll boy -- let's make that troll boy. He had cookies in kindergarten, and he had more than the little boys and girls that had classes with him did, because his mother had probably forgotten that he wasn't allowed to have more than five cookies a day because of his ADHD. So these cute little things started crawling up to him (he was perched upon the mini-slide everyday, as if he was the king of the world), asking him for the slightest bit of chocolate chip, but instead of handing the biggest one to them, he pouted and shook his head, pretending to enjoy the savour flavor of dark brown chocolate chips lodged into golden dough.

Yes, little Nate loves the camera and the camera loves him. It's pretty much weird how many pictures he has of himself, he just won't upload all of them into his myspace because he knows some dudes will call him gay. But he knows how bad it really is he's vain. He doesn't really mean to, it's just because he's attached to the fact that he's really not that bad looking. It's a bad trait, but he definitely knows that it is. Nathan, at least, isn't as obvious as other vain people. He takes loads of pictures of other people and other things too (like, mind, crayons) so it's lodged in between the pictures of he himself.

And yes yes, Nathan is little-boy-annoying. The kind that bounces around when he's hyper, pokes you until your shoulder gets numb, and jumps on your back for a piggy ride. He likes doing this because he finds it fun to piss people off with noise and poking. Oh yes, he loves poking. The first time he ever poked someone was at the age of three, he was in the grocery store with his foster mother, buying things for the house, and he wriggled away from her and bumped into a mum and her little baby, probably months old rather than years. He started poking her nose softly (the baby's not the mum), and next thing he knew he was being carried away by his mum, his arm still stretched out and his forefinger still stuck out straight.

The thing is about Nathan is that he's only cocky and stuff because he's the smartest kid alive. Well, maybe not the smartest, but you could say that he is sort of intelligent, in this own little way. Yes, he's book smart although he may not look it. He just has this love for literature and science and mathematics that makes him seem so intellectual about everything, whether he knows about it or not. He's not that street smart though, and he never watches his words. It's just about the academics that he's good at. He won't even bother learning anything else aside from school subjects, and well, the guitar.

When young Nathan was in school, he could have gotten away with murder, because he just has this charisma and cuteness and brightness towards the people elder from him that they just see him as this angelic little boy that couldn't harm the entire universe even if he grows up to be some kind of wimpy villian (which he kind of is now). Boy, did they get that wrong. Nathan doesn't know much about the charm that he has in his face, but something is definitely there, many people have experienced it. Once he even teepee -d the school chapel, and he didn't get in trouble, not even a minute's detention for it, after saying that he didn't mean to wrap it around with toilet paper. If he killed a teacher, I bet he wouldn't be blamed for it, even if he was caught doing it.

Ever since he was in preschool until he was in highschool, little Nathan was wearing glasses. That wasn't the only thing. He had to wear braces for about five or six years (he's English, after all) and he was collecting dust bunnies and antique pennies for a hobby. Odd kid, alright, but he was respected because of his foster family's wealth, and everyone wanted to be his friend since his father was a generous thing to his friends; giving them the time of their lives in an expensive amusement park, letting them shop in the high class malls, things like that. But he was a freaking geek though, the one with knobby knees, bad teeth and rimmed glasses. You could still say he was a charming geek, although I don't know what that would mean. Nowadays he's just a control freak geek. Which is scary; letting him hold in the OCD that he has.

He was always the one people loved to hate and hated to love. That was because he's just this mean little thing but you have to say, this kid's pretty cool. He's just midunderstood really, he doesn't mean to hurt other people, he just really does want to be the the almost-center of attention. Nathan just sometimes goes nuts without attention, but it's not because of himself and his big headed ness. It's because he never coped with motherly attention, which is sad, really. Nathan was always like that.

Nathan is very realistic, which is why he likes writing. He doesn't like those sappy songs that makes people seem like the only thing important is love, and that money's not important and la la la land. Because material things are important in this world because it really is what makes us live longer than twenty years of age. Nathan doesn't like sappy stories about princesses (which is why his favorite fairy tale is The Little Match Girl, the scary version where she dies, not the sappy one where she's still alive at the end) meeting their princes. Which makes him like literature even more.

Looks ,

EYES Nathan's eyes are a very dark shade of brown that are almost jet black. They're amond shaped and usually, they are covered by either his straight bangs or a pair of colorfully rimmed sunglasses. He's a HUGE fan of sunglasses.
HAIR Jet black, and looks kind of dead. He thinks that dead hair looks better than healthy hair because he doesn't trust the stylists nor his mother. It's rather messy and hard to manage, but he likes it just the way it is. He dyes it black from time to time (although his original hair color is already black) so that it could get darker. He doesn't like light hair for some reason. He things it's boy band -ish.
WEIGHT Nathan is a delicate little thing, probably just a hundred and twenty-six pounds. He's actually quite light for a boy his age.
HEIGHT He's also not the tallest. Around maybe five feet and five inches, shorter than most girls his age too.
CELEBRITY CLAIM paul griffiths.
CLOTHING STYLE Nathan doesn't really care, he ust usually wears a pair of dark wash girl's skinny jeans and colorful cartoon tee shirts. And of course, colorfully rimmed sunglasses. Nathan doesn't really watch what he wears, just any old printed shirt and a pair of trousers and he'll run out of his room, whether he's going to the prom or a gig or whatnot.

DETAILED October fifteenth was the birth of a little baby boy unnamed, by an American and an English descent. The little American-English baby was found in a garbage bin nearby a local orphanage. It had black hair and light blue eyes (all babies are born with blue eyes but end up a different color after a few months, according to some sources) and was rather a beautiful thing, and seemed premature. He was sent to another orphanage in Nevada, although the little baby never knew that that even happened.

An American man, whose Spanish spouse couldn't make give birth to babies, was looking around at the little boys and little girls, and this unnamed little boy caught his eye. He looked beyond cute and was staring at the American man with wild brown eyes. He didn't look like he was as of his right mind yet. So he picked this little boy as a foster child and let him into his mansion. His foster parents named him Nathaniel James after seeing the names in their favorite books. The Spanish wife didn't like the look of little Nathaniel, nicknamed Nathan, and Nathan didn't like his foster mother either.

Nathan was deeply spoiled and his foster father loved training him to be a great businessman (thus the cockiness). As he entered Elementary, he was hated by many boys and girls his age because he was biased to the more high class people in his batch. The teachers were absolutely charmed by him and didn't see past through his charisma. It was hard to get along with him and many educators, including the guidance counselor, recommended a boarding school, for stricter rules, and better education. And so it was.

In boarding school, Nathan was actually liked for who he was, but it was because all of them were stuck up expensive high class rich kids that knew that they were good enough for the world. Nathan fit in with them, and knew that he was going to be the charmer around here in the school. Which caused him to go wild in it. He was the person who actually put fireworks in the courtyard, swore in the hallways, vandalized on the expensive metal lockers. For this, he got kicked out and expelled.

Foster mother was absolutely angry but foster father was pitying and let him go to the local high school, which was filled with dumpy kids with different ethnicities and personalities, including him. He was known as the rich kid there, since not all of them had good 'nuff money to last a year of school tuition. But Nathan, impossibly, got along with some people. He got attached to music, and made himself learn a bit of guitar himself. He turned out pretty good at it, and was actually naturally talented with it. He put out all of his weird emotions in it, blistering his fingers, but it all turned out good.

Nathan had no more interest in education. It was if that small instrument has taken over his life. He had left home, saying goodbye only to his father, who was absolutely shocked to see that Nathan didn't want to become a businessman, but was nice enough to let him go. He dropped out of college and joined his friends' band, Sighted South, living in one of their garage's for a very long time. It was weird to hear that this boy had done that, it wasn't necessarily that kind of garage time, if the garage wasn't jewelled, but then he was obsessed, maybe. Just maybe.
