For my itinerant bard, Nathan...
- Constantly refers to women as "love" or "my dear", and has been chastised about it more than once. However he'll slip right back into it within minutes, and sometimes deliberately.
- Is very strongly attracted to female Roegadyn, even those who are significantly taller than he is (though that is fewer than you'd think - see below). However, he seems to keep finding himself actually in contact with lady Miqo'te much more often, despite this preference. It's probably just a numbers game, he tells himself.
- Is as tall and broad as any Highlander Hyur can be; it gives him an unconscious swagger sometimes, left over from his youth in the troupe, when being the biggest kid in his generation kept him from having to fight a lot by default. (see below)
- Has a nose that is oddly squarish for his species. (the character model does, if you look...) It's not terribly off, but sometimes he thinks it might explain his attraction to the Roes; his mother did mention to him that she liked "big men", but Nathan never knew his father.
- Is very slow to anger and physical aggression, as a result of several of the above characteristics. Though he's been in his share of bar fights, he'd prefer not to, since he relies on the goodwill of tavern keepers for much of his livelihood.
- Is somewhat turned off by passivity as a characteristic in people. In fact, in flirting, he actually prefers the company of outwardly confrontational women to the shy, giggling types, even if this costs him a potential connection. Boredom is not attractive.
- Makes a point of trying to catch the sunrise every day, which has a healing effect on his psyche, and reminds him that every day can bring something new. If he's hung over from the previous night, he might drift off again mid-morning, though.
- Can't resist talking circles around people, if he can get away with it. It helps him to figure out whether someone he's met is truly interesting, or too dull to keep up or learn more about. It's a rather unfair judgment sometimes, but it also screens out the passive ones (see above). He will make exceptions if he observes other, respectable gifts in people.
- Has a favorite, rare drink: "Madjack Red" a potent and spiced red rum that comes in a crimson bottle. He enjoys it so much that "Jack" is often referred to as a person and boon companion, but he will not order the beverage unless he is in a truly good mood, so as never to associate it with anything but happiness and good times.

"But in the laugh there was another voice. A clearer laugh, an ironic laugh. A laugh which laughs because it chooses not to weep."
