PERSONALITY Throughout the years of Nate's life, his personality changed quite a bit. When he was young, he was such a kindhearted, spastic, sweet little boy. He cared about everything and everyone, including people, pets, and even the tiniest little insects that he found. Being so kindhearted and generous as he was, he always made sure everyone had what they wanted and made sure that they were happy. He was a people pleaser. He was just the sweetest, most innocent kid you could ever meet. He was spastic and always full of energy; he would always up doing something to let out his energy in the best way he could, which involved playing with his pups and his older brother, Mikel.Unfortunately, this personality that everyone was so fond of did not stick around for too long. When Nate was about fourteen, his whole life changed. he was involved in a terrible car accident with his parents, that killed them and the other passengers in the other car instantly, leaving him the only survivor of the wreck. The sweet little innocent boy that was once there, was now gone. he became extremely depressed and secluded himself away from everyone, beginning to develop severe anxiety. most things triggered the boy and sent him into panic attacks, fearing that something would happen to him or anyone else involved in his life. not long after the car accident, he and his older brother Mikel were put into an orphanage considering there was nobody else eligible to take care of the boys. this was incredibly hard on the boys and every day was a struggle. it was hard to continue your life in an unfamiliar place with unfamiliar people, but they had each other to cope and take care of each other. Nathan stayed depressed for quite a long time. to be honest, there was no real personality. it was just an empty, hollow shell of a person. could you blame him, though? being in an out of the orphanage from family, to family, to family was tiresome and after a while, he almost didn't see a point to anything. nothing was looking up for him or his brother and there was more darkness than there was light. he tried being positive and nice, but after time passed, it was just useless and he gave up on it. there was were many time when Nathan debated on taking his own life and just ending all the pain and misery, but his brother convinced him not to and that everything would change soon enough. years and years later, he was still a changed man. no longer as depressed. in fact, he had gotten over his depression and was really more human, now, he felt. still mostly kind to people, but cautious of letting them get too close to him in fear of losing them as well. He's still generous, but doesn't let it show too much unless with the people he genuinely close to. he's guarded and honestly acts like he doesn't give a shit on the outside, but on the inside he truly cares and is freaking out about whatever's going on. His anxiety tends to control him and make him freak out and stress out over more things than he really needs to or even should, but he tries so hard not to let it take control. HISTORY Nathaniel James Bryant was born on November 1st at the hospital in Berlin, Germany . It took sixteen hours and fifty-two minute of labor, but the bundle of joy had finally arrived. It didn't take long for little nate to be showered with affection and attention from his whole family and his parents family friends. I mean, how could you not? he was just the sweetest baby ever. nate grew up in the household being showered with affection all the time; both him ad his brother did. to their parents, the kids were the greatest thing to happen to them. they weren't rich and they didn't have a lot of things in their life, but they lived what they had and they were happy and they appreciated everything. nate was taught to be considerate and generous towards others and that exactly what he did. every person he met, which was a lot, he would treat them with the upmost kindness and respect that he could.when he first started attending school, he absolutely loved it. he loved learning and making friends; he couldn't wait till he went back to school the next day so he could do the same thing over again. the love of school continued on as he got older. he had plenty of friends and he absolutely enjoyed gaining knowledge. so what if he never used any of it outside of class? he enjoyed knowing it and having the kind of knowledge that he could carry around with him. he thought it was fun. his favorite subjects in school were history, science, and maths. although he struggled with math a bit, he still like it. he liked the challenge it gave him and he was always determined to solve whatever problem the teacher had given him specifically, no matter what it was. he was a smart kid and everyone knew that, even himself. he applied himself and he enjoyed it, and it benefitted him in the end, so it was just a win/win all around. years later, when he was fourteen, nate and his parents all piled in the car to go up to pick up his brother from a class field trip. it was cold and snowy out; the roads were icy and knowingly unsafe to drive on, but still, the Bryants continued their journey to the school's fieldtrip location. they were about only an hour away from their destination, but unfortunately, they would not be arriving there this time. they had a head on collision with an oncoming car. there had been no time to stop, since the road were so icy it was so unexpected. the collision killed both Nancy and Carsten, the other passengers in the car involved almost immediately, but left little fourteen year old nate alive; only a few broken bones, several bruises, and some cuts and scrapes were the only damage he took. nate took this hard and became very depressed after the wreck. he secluded himself from everybody and tried to hide as much as possible. his brother and him were put into an orphanage. now, getting placed in an orphanage was just downright weird and uncomfortable. it took time to getting used to it, but neither of them really actually did. now, actually getting used to the place was one thing, but then getting a family to even think about adopting the Bryant boys was a difficult task. Most of the parents that came in were looking for a young kid who was full of life and personality - not some teenage kids who were ultimately depressed and quiet; and even when people were fond of one of the Bryant boys, they were only interested in taking one kid. Mikel and Nathan refused to part from each other, so that was a deal breaker for most people. regardless, there were some families who were interested in the boys and took them in, but shortly dropped the boys back off when they realized that they weren't exactly what they were looing for. this happened on several occasions and it brought Nate's spirit down. It made him feel worthless and like he wasn't important. He was fifteen when he contemplated taking his own life, but his brother convinced him that he shouldn't and that it would get better. years later, when they finally were old enough and got out of the orphanage, their grandparents immediately paid for plane tickets for the two of the boys to flight out to Nevada. moving in with them was weird and unusual. it wasn't home to him, but what could nate even call a home anymore. the move was even more uncomfortable for him and he ended up getting more anxiety attacks than normal. Nevada was such a different place than Germany and it freaked him out. Learning the different language and learning the different state was overwhelming, and it took time to get used to it, but he was able to work though it and slightly over come some of his anxiety. nate was capable of getting settled in to his new life. after over coming some of his anxiety, he ventured out. he wanted to see all the new places and see all of what there was here. it just intrigued him. so, he got a job... to support him, his brother, and his grandparents. did he want to? no, not really, but he needed to. actually, he got to jobs. he doesn't get too much time to himself or even to get much relaxation, which causes some stress and frustration in his life, which makes his anxiety act up, but he's getting by. he hasn't gotten too close to many in Arcadia, really, except one person - a woman. She's made a big impact on his life and shes really someone he hold close to him, which is rare. he's scared to get close to people in case of something bad happening to them, but he's trying to work through that considering his relationship with Harley and his grandmother recent sickness that has come over her. Family Nancy Emilia Bryant - mother - deceasedCarsten Allen Bryant - father - deceased Georgia Abagail Bryant - grandmother - sixty-six Albert Edmund Bryant - grandfather - sixty-seven Mikel Aaron Bryant - brother - twenty-eight LOVE LIFE Nathan's love life is very simple. He is currently in a relationship with a certain someone, which is his first relationship type of deal, and he is pretty into her. They're currently testing the waters, but things are going well so far. He tries his hardest to be the best he an be for her, because he feels like that's what she deserves. Nathaniel has closed this part of his life off in the past due to many reasons - being lack of emotions towards most people and not knowing many girls or confidence to actually do anything about it. |
