[/b] Nathaniel Evelyn Rivers
NICKNAMES: Nate
AGE: Sixteen
GENDER: Male
RACE: Dhamphyr
CLASS: C
PLAY BY: Gareki from Karneval[/size][/ul]

I SWEAR TOGETHER WE'VE BEEN
here before but we never looked away

[/b] Nate’s eyes are almond shaped, often enveloped in a distant expression. Bearing the average mark of his kind, Nate's eye colors are mismatched: for his left eye, a bright green hue; for his left, a piercing red tint.
HAIR: His hair sports a tousled hairstyle, its length some centimeters longer than average, and as dark as a raven flying through a pitch-black night.
SKIN: Understandably pallid, because of his aversion to sunlight.
BODY: Lean, with a defined tone.
UNUSUAL: An ear piercing exists on the larger end of his left pinna, just at the helix. Taking into consideration his weakness to silver, Nate is very particular about what adorns his ear, usually going for something made out of gold. It isn’t easily noticed, for Nate only occasionally wears an earring just to keep the hole open.
OTHER FORM: No other; the farthest Nate goes to change his appearance is wearing contacts to make his red eye match the other. However, it isn’t too far-fetched for normal people to think that his mismatching eyes are the product of contact lenses as well.
APPEARANCE:
Now, Nate doesn't have a liking for mirrors. He could care less about how he looked, having more problems with how people dealt with him just because he is... well, what he is. However, it is undeniable that Nate is actually quite good-looking, if you squint past the whole dhamphyr front and the perpetual, yet unintentional default gaze of boredom and aloofness - looks from his mother's side, for Anne was a lovely English dame, although Nate couldn't make such presumptions as he never saw his father.

Nate stands at a height of six foot one. Unfortunately, his height is pretty much impaired by his build. Had he had the genes of an athletic, muscular body, Nate could have been popular in such human sports as rugby or football, but he had one that had the potential to make him look awkward and lanky. On the positive side, his metabolism is normal, therefore it is not that hard for him to lose nor gain weight. He has since started to work up some tone in his body, thereby giving him a defined quality, although he appears to be just an average tall kid. He currently weighs about one hundred and fifty-five pounds.

If his height doesn't get him attention, then his eyes certainly will. The blatant, dissimilar colors of Nate's eyes prominently display his race to the supernatural kind, though it might just attract slight interest from normal humans who remain blissfully unaware of what a dhamphyr is. Below his eyes, a well-formed nose rests directly in the middle of his face, one that is neither too straight nor too curvy. Nate's lips are thin and naturally pale, often a bit drier than the standard because of his tendency to postpone drinking fluids. ("Water's so weird-tasting.") Aside from keeping his vampiric side alive by consuming the occasional blood, it also rejuvenates his overall appearance, although it concentrates on the presence of eyebags, his skin quality, etc.

The penultimate, notable thing about Nate's body is the mole he has just at his left shoulder blade, though it's not as impressive as it could be, appearing to be an almost imperceivable dot on his pale back. Lastly are Nate's long fingers. Anne sometimes calls him "her Piano Man" because of this, despite the fact that Nate doesn't have any experience in playing any instruments.

WEAKNESSES:

✫ Learning new things, for example: another language. Sure, Nate's psyched about learning French or Japanese, but he lacks the conviction to continue it.

SECRETS: Nate has a special soft spot for small animals, but it’s not something he wants to flaunt at all. He's a heavy flirt, although he expects the blatant rejection and disgust that comes with it, fully aware that his existence is equal to that of an abomination. With that said, Nate is heavily masochistic - and a closeted sadist.
OVERALL:
Being practically a pariah had major effects on Nate's personality. If things had been any different, and he weren't the same kind with dhamphyrs, then Nate might have been normal and relatively bright. However, the outside treatment of him changed his view on things, and gave him what would be better called as trauma.

Starting with his way of treating others. Now, even before the supernatural's as known as it is now, Nate still found it hard to relate to others. It had something to do with his eye, and the fact that he didn't have a dad - children in the playground can be such insensitive pricks. Once the news of Anne's single parenting reached their ears, all Nate heard whenever he went outside to play was how his father didn't love him enough to stay, blahdiblah - so many other reasons that don't have any basis, but Nate was a kid. He absorbed everything they said, and reflected it upon himself and his whole being as worthless and unlovable.

Nate has very low self-esteem, though he doesn't want to display his vulnerability at the word "go". He's very secretive of what he likes, since his upbringing has caused him to be automatically suspicious of anyone he meets. It's never been the case of "stranger danger" - for Nate, it's possible for anyone to stab him whenever he's not looking. He usually hides behind a manly bravado, one that screams that he doesn't want company or he doesn't need friends, while the truth is it's the opposite.[/size][/ul]
