human

he/him

Introduced as Cov’s (human) best friend, and can be seen with Cov sometimes.

Nathan’s gotten the most character development in the 90’s AU, so most of this comes from a 90’s era lens but I did try to generalize for this page and make it fit from the 90s to 2060

An only child that grows up to be a narcissist/teetering on sociopath. He takes care of his father while in school and works a job to help keep the lights on and food in the fridge. He likes scifi robots and riding his bike.

His father is a detective, and though he doesn’t show it properly, he worries, cares for, and loves his son. The father is given cases of missing persons reports and murders/deaths that can’t be explained by normal means, and so he’s floundering his way into the fantastical world to find out what really happened to them. (conspiracy theory vibes but he might actually be right)

Nathan entertains his father’s ideas and spitballing since he’s got nothing better to do and seeing him so passionate puts a smile on his face. He doesn’t actually believe there’s ‘shadow people’ and 'magic’ and 'plans of research facilities being built somewhere’, but hey, fun background noise while he does his homework.

Nathan’s mother died after his birth. It’s either that or she dies when he was around 2 or 3, from what? no clue. probably an incurable illness. In life, she was a lawyer. (ace attorney style)

Stray Facts

• Nathan’s personality based off of sword art online abridged’s kirito and smartphone abridged’s touya mochizuki, both by SomethingWittyEntertainment

• I based the father’s personality off of Bleach’s isshan kurosaki and Steins;Gate’s okabe rintaro/hououin kyouma (basically, he’s a little silly <3)

• Originally Nathan’s dad was supposed to die, and he’d have relations with a Dead there, and she would become Nathan’s step-mom, trying to win him over with Things but all he wants is a motherly connection.

• The mother (Makena) is based off of Ace Attorney’s Mia Fey

• Purely 90s AU Based: Nathan hates recreational drugs since they remind him of that time he wanted to try some, got caught with it and his uncle took the fall for him (he was already doing some shady behavior before Nathan was caught so covering for him was the obvious choice. once he gets out he’ll do his best to quit that life). Nathan’s uncle and father don’t blame him for what happened, but hope while the uncle’s serving time, Nathan will rethink his relationship with drugs. Nathan hasnt and doesnt plan to touch any ever again. It’s also why he’s so short with Cov when he starts abusing substances. Not joining him, but still wants him to be safe about it, other than that he wants nothing to do with Cov’s drug life
