Occupation: History teacher.
Personality: Nathanial is a pretty laid-back guy, to the extent that if his class doesn't bother to turn up, he doesn't really care. He's passionate about what he teaches. History. With strong Past Sight, he has seen many things, most of which he'd really rather have not. He's a little crazy, more eccentric, really, he's got a sarcastic twist to his tongue and is very blunt. He's the type of person that will walk up to his pupil, in the middle of a class, and inform that poor kid that he's not up to standard and had better choose another subject.
Due to his almost constant consumption of coffee, because visions drain him substantially, he's a little errattic and wild. He will knock a pupil out of his chair while explaining, and keep teaching. He's eloquent, intelligent, an excellent story-teller, and grips his pupils with the marvels of history. There is a sense of humour in there, if you dig deep enough. He has to develop these defenses, because his strange parentage makes him stand out. He's inquisitive, perky and weird.
Likes: Coffee,
crosswords,
history,
telling stories,
mocking people,
lazy days,

Dislikes: Arrogance,
hard rain,
working hard,

formality.
Sight: Very strong past sight, often triggered by people he meets and their lineage, objects, places, etc. Stretches far back and close.

::The Past::
History
Nathaniel was born in Equador. With a Zulu mother and a Native American father, he stood out from the rest of the children in the area. However, he was never ostracised. From a very early age, the boy told wonderful stories, about past times, monstrous wars, violence, deception. His parents began to worry, and took him to a psychologist, who was astounded to note that the boy was talking about things that had happened. He was precise with details, unerringly accurate. Soon, rumours of thsi began to spread. Parents kept their children away from him. He went to school, and was often in detention for contradicting his History teacher viciously.
Soon, Nathaniel had lost all of his friends, and was withdrawing. Concerned, his parents moved to Africa for the sake of their son. However, the visions simply strengthened with the atrocities of the continent, and their problems would recur. They moved almost monthly, and strain was taken on the relationship. When Nathaniel was just nine, his mother comitted suicide. Desperate, his father left him with his old tribe, and travelled alone. There, Nathaniel learnt how to control his visions, to an extent, and felt that he fitted in.
However, they couldn't help him for long. As soon as he turned fourteen, he was sent to Brookshire. Yes, he is an old boy of the school. He thrived there, but soon left to discover more. He travelled for a long time, making a living by correcting history books. Eventually, he decided to settle down, got a teaching degree and came back to his old home to share his passion with others.
