|{Scars}|
He has the occasional scars on his hand from accidental cuts, while working as a slicer. His most defining scar is a thin, long, scar that runs down his right calf stopping just above his heel. It used to be a fleshy pink color, but over time it has faded to a subtle tan color, matching that of his skin tone, which makes it hard to see.
|{In Depth}|
Nate is often a popular topic among the girls of the Glade. He is quite tall and defined, from years of working on the Glade, which give him a more athletic build. His eyes are a tawny, tan, brown color that sometimes appear yellow when hit by the light in certain angles. His brown hair begins to curl slightly at the ends, and throughout his years at the Glade has become a mass of dark brown curls that add to his boyish charisma. He was graced with full bow shaped lips that are almost always irked in a satisfied smirk, and defined, sharp facial features that are softened by his close set eyes.

▪Sensitive▪
Nate mainly keeps this a secret, but he is actually an extremely sensitive person. A lot of what others say get to him, and though on the outside he doesn't show it, it really takes a toll on him. He tends to struggle, surprisingly with self worth and image, his egotistical side is somewhat of a fake confidence booster, to somewhat make him feel better.
▪Vegetarian▪
Considering his job no one would ever believe that Nate is a vegetarian, but surprisingly he devoutly never eats meat. At first he wasn't aware of this quirk, until he ate meat for the first time in the Glade and nearly got sick. He assumes that he must've been some sort of 'Green Eater' in his past life, and his taste memory rejected the hearty taste of meat.
▪Sports▪
Nate loves coming up with competitive games for the Gladers to play. He has made makeshift goals and a ball that almost resemble soccer, and can never resist a friendly game. He loves all things athletic, and is quite competitive when it comes to sports.
|{Strengths}|
▪▪Brute Strength▪▪
Nate is actually quite a strong individual, from his job as a slicer and obvious sports in his past life. He can easily lift wood, which surprised himself as he was stationed as a slicer, but he didn't mind much.
▪▪Weapons▪▪
Nate is very lethal with a knife. He has become quite acquainted with the weapon, from his job and he knows how to use it like the back of his hand, not that he knows if he'll ever need to use it... Just a precaution.
▪▪Brains▪▪
Many consider Nate just to be a bumbling, brawny guy that doesn't know what he's talking about, but he is actually quite intelligent. Not maybe to much in the area of book smarts, but definitely in street smarts. He's great at making strong decisions on the fly and formulating ideas in his head very quickly.
▪▪Smooth Talker▪▪
Many wouldn't consider this a strength, but Nate sure as hell does. He has the ability to tongue tie someone's brain so quickly with his words they'll be so confused and just nod their head in agreement to whatever he says.
|{Weaknesses}|
▪▪Stubborn▪▪
When people get in the way of any of his ambitions/plans, he tends to become quite stubborn, and standoffish. Which is something he is not proud of, but it just comes off that way. He has often gotten in scuffles with other Gladers because of this, and over the years the others learned to not mess with him as much.
▪▪Moody▪▪
Depending on the first couple of minutes of Nate's day, his mood can completely change from the next. Many have often thought him bipolar but his different moods are just so contrastive.
▪▪Egotistical▪▪
Nate is
▪▪Womanizer▪▪
He knows that he is quite popular with the ladies, and has had his fair share of them in the Glade. He doesn't seem to mind breaking their hearts, he tends to think of it as their fault. They know, fully, what they're getting into, and quite frankly maintaining a relationship has never been his thing. He hasn't met a girl yet, that he believes he could try and stay with, and he doesn't plan on it ever happening.

|{Fears}|
øBloodø
Nate cannot stand the smell of blood or the sight of it. It makes him queasy and lightheaded, no matter how much red liquid is shown. Some Gladers have made fun of his occasional 'black outs' when he scrapes his knee. It quite an embarrassing thing, and he hates this part of him.
øRelationshipsø
Nate has always been terrified of getting, too attached. He prefers a dine and dash rather than sitting and enjoying the meal while leaving a gracious tip. Its just something that has never fit with him.
øDeathø
Everybody fears it... Nate is always terrified of dying young. His life has already been ripped away from him once when he came up in the box and just a permanent end, is too much for him to think about.
|{Secrets}|
✤ Killed a Glader✤
When Nate first arrived at the Glade, he experienced what a Griever sting could do first hand. Only veteran Gladers know of what happened between him and a small boy named Henry, and its not a pleasant memory. Henry went full on psychotic and tried to murder Nate with a knife managing to get a deep slash in his calf, before Nate wrestled him to the ground and plunged the knife into his chest. It was a horrific memory that still gives Nate nightmares every other night, and often leaves him shaking with cold sweats before the sun starts to rise.

{Kind | Egotisitical | Intuitive | Charismatic | Attentive | Loyal}
Kind. Nate is almost kind to every Glader he meets. He never likes to show this side of himself, he thinks it's a weakness, but he takes the younger Gladers under his wing and cares for them like their his siblings. He never unintentionally is rude to the older Gladers, but he sure as hell is intentionally. If a Glader picks on him or a younger Glader, they are sure to get a mouth full of his fist. This has landed him numerous times in the Slammer. He doesn't seem to mind though, it just adds on to his 'tough guy' rep, and covers up the fact that he probably beat the kid senseless because they picked on Nic.
Egotistical. One of Nate's negative qualities, is his egotistical mindset. He is very prideful of himself, and sure as hell knows he's hot stuff. Most of the girls seem to like his, jock, attitude but its less popular with the guys. He doesn't care about much of the guys opinions, and has never really tried to change this prideful part of himself. He is quite insecure on the inside, and the egotistical cover-up helps him manage.
Intuitive. Nate is quite surprisingly very intuitive. He can think very quick on his feet, very good at making rash decisions, and is a great guesser. He often sneaks into the Map Room on occasion just to take a look to see if he can figure out any sort of pattern that the others are missing, but he still hasn't found anything yet. That doesn't stop him from trying his hardest to prove himself in more of his metal attributes than his physical ones.
Charismatic. Nate loves charming the socks off of almost everyone he meets. He finds it extremely amusing, swooning the girls, and sometimes even the boys. Some hate that his undeniable boyish charm even gets to them, which leaves Nate with a self satisfied smirk.
Attentive. Nate is very attentive to every detail. He can sometimes guess what someone is going to say or do, just based off of their movements or facial expression. He almost treats it like a game, What will Glader #2 Do Next?. Sometimes he gets to lost in observing others, that it almost comes of as creepy, which is a vibe he does not want to give off. He often catches himself before he spaces out too much, but some are still weirded out by it.
Loyal. Nate is extremely loyal, and has an undying determination to finish what he started. He never lets anyone down if they give him a request or job to do, and he holds the request very seriously. He tends to get annoyed by lazy Gladers from their inability to benefit everyone else, and their lack of loyalty to the Gladers.

His father was a very respected government official, and often dabbled in international affairs. His family finally had to move to Upstate New York to live for a while, when they're Dad was on a business trip. Nate never much liked the city atmosphere, and the crowded streets gave him anxiety and panic. It started to get worse as news of the flare broke out, and they're family desperately tried to board a plane back to Canada. His mother and sister soon fell ill, and weren't allowed to leave the country which forced their family to stay. It didn't take long for the Flare to take over and his sister and mother brutally murdered their Father, leaving Matt and Nate on the streets running for their lives.

He enjoys his day to day routine, but he can tell their is tension rising between everyone on the Glade, the undying need to escape starting to truly surface.
