NAME: Nathaniel Kandless
GENDER: Male
AGE: Twenty-seven.
POWER: Nathan is a vampire.As of the time being Nathan is a normal human being with no special powers. With being on the island for a while, Nathan will be turned into a vampire (this event will be role played out in the forum). Upon becoming a fresh vampire, a series of things will happen to Nathan. Nathan will be unable to go out into direct sunlight for quite a few years, due to the UV rays causing an unnecessary amount of stress on his body. It will be something that he will have to work on. Only after working on it though will Nathan be able to go out during mid day. Otherwise, being inside but near a window with sunlight will generally cause him to become unfocused and feel faint and extremely warm. Nathan will be unable to see his reflection in any mirror or water. His fangs will only become extended when he is unbearably hungry or getting ready to drink blood. Upon getting ready to drink blood, his face will contort in a very grotesque and harsh manner (think demon-like). Nathan will be unable to walk into someone's personal home without an invitation verbally spoken. Garlic will not repel him, but more so upset his (extremely sensitive) senses. Crosses will have no effect on him. Holy water will give him a strange feeling, but ultimately will have no effect as well.
As a vampire, what his actual 'powers' would be is this: regeneration, super speed and super strength. This regeneration applies toward any scratch or cut or broken bone he may receive as he will heal faster than any normal person (within a few hours depending upon the wound). This does not apply though with any wound inflicted with pure silver and Nathan will be able to to be killed by strictly pure silver in the heart. His healing is capable of being sped up by someone giving him blood. Nathan will not master his super speed, or even figure out he has until at least a few months (maybe years) into being a vampire. His super strength will be strange for him to manage and often not controlling his super strength will be associated him being thirsty for blood. Nathan will not be able to turn anyone into a vampire by biting them, he actually won't be able to figure out how it works for quite awhile. In the early stages of his vampirism though, Nathan will be accidentally (or purposely) killing people by feeding and will not figure out how to properly draw blood from anyone without killing them for quite awhile.
DESIRED JOB:Nathan wishes to become the Headmaster of Foresta Academy by taking his cousin's job away from her. If he fails in this at some point Nathan will become a English teacher for the high school students of Foresta instead.
PERSONALITY: As a human, Nathan cared a lot about keeping up appearances around people. As he is a vampire now, Nathan finds himself less caring about what people think. He hasn't fully adjusted to the fact that he is an immortal now, despite the fact that he has started doing things that any normal person would not do (like stealing blood out of a hospital). The real truth of him being immortal probably won't hit him until he starts to see the people that he loved in his mortal life age and eventually die. With becoming a vampire though, Nathan is a bit more cockier than he was as a human. He's confident, but still has traces of his mortal cautious behavior.
From time to time, Nathan has issues controlling himself in the presence of blood and most of he time chooses not to restrain himself. There has already been instances since he has been changed that he has gone into Port Albion at night and killed random people to drink their blood. For now he seems to be not dealing with it at all, but their will be a breaking point which will cause a brief moment of insanity in Nathan's life. As a vampire now as well, Nathan finds it easier to be noticed. He's become much more adept at charming people even when he isn't trying too.
APPEARANCE: Nathan stands at around 6"00 exact and has dark brown hair with faded green eyes. He has a tendency to wear business casual as per of how he sees himself. Nathan also usually has a stoic expression on his face when he is not offering up a pleasant smile in hopes of quite simply pleasing people around him. Nathan has a tendency of carrying himself in a peaceful manner and most of the time it's hard to see whats wrong with him (besides what has already been mentioned). Quite obviously though, Nathan has nothing that stands out about him as a human being. He's the type where could easily meld into the crowd and people have a hard time remembering his name when they first meet him.
Upon his shift into becoming a vampire, Nathan's features have become more well defined. He has become paler due to becoming an undead creature, as well his body appears to be leaner as opposed to as when he was a human. When Nathan decides to reveal his fangs though, his face shifts in a very grotesque and alarming manner. In a sense he would almost look demonic thanks to the fact that his eyes turn black and he loses any human quality he had to his expression.
WEAKNESSES: As a human Nathan is easily forgettable, even when he making a stand about something. He is just a bit selfish (although it is not completely obvious) and Nathan is a bit of prude. In purely social relaxed settings, Nathan has a bit of an issue interacting with people and while he is tactful in a business setting - he can be awkward in a social setting and usually ends up embarrassing himself.
STRENGTHS: Nathan is an intelligent young man with an excellent speaking voice. His voice could be considered a trait that stands out about him if he didn't try mask it with a professional and/or monotone pitch. Nathan also has a excellent taste for words, but his social awkwardness tends to get in the way and instead if he is trying to be funny he will sound awkward instead.
HISTORY: Nathan Kandless was born in Pennsylvania, U.S. He grew up like any other average American would, and as he came close to graduating high school Nathan struggled with not knowing what he wanted to do for the rest of his life. For this Nathan joined the Army and after going through boot camp and basic training was deployed to Afghanistan for about four years with moving around. During his time in the foreign country, Nathan made friend with a fellow soldier who had a love for Shakespeare and all things literature and theater oriented. He had a deep appreciation for the arts, but was quite the badass as well. This is where Nathan's interest in those things started as well, they became great friends and the fellow soldier actually saw Nathan for himself instead of someone who blended in. Sadly, his friend was killed after Nathan got to go back home and from then on Nathan decided that he would pursue those interests more in honor of his friend. Despite being in the army for such a period time, oddly enough Nathan still had the personality trait of being easily forgettable - it has been something that has stuck with him his whole life.
After being home for about a year, Nathan's father ended up passing away from lung cancer. It was in his father's will that Nathan learned about the existence of Foresta Academy and the gifted power that runs in his family. Feeling like this was what he had been looking for (at the age of 23) Nathan decided to pursue a teaching degree before going to Foresta. From that Nathan acquired basic qualifications for teaching. Taking a few years to find a gifted person to help him on his journey to Foresta, at the age of twenty-six Nathan set forth to Foresta to find his cousin. Upon arriving at Foresta though, Nathan started to observe how the school was run and after a year of this has decided to speak up and finally talk to Martina about challenging her position as the Headmistress.
