Half Conduit, Half Dairy Product
Name: Nathan Connors


Age: 25


Gender: Male


Physical Description: Nathan is a pretty boy, as far as pretty boys go. He has short, wavy dark blonde hair. Nathan's eyes were a dull blue, but became a bright grey after the surgery. His face is young and smooth, and it's the kind of face you just want to punch because you know the next thing that comes out of it is gonna be some snarky comment. He stands at 5'5" (I think that's shorter than average for and adult male, I'm honestly not sure. Point is, he's supposed to be pretty short.) and has a slim build.


Requested Core: Smoke Thread Core


Requested Squad: Squad Two


Personality: Nathan seldom takes anything seriously, always cracking jokes and making snarky comments, even when in a vicious battle to the death. Despite this, he knows he has a mission and will follow orders without question, usually. He's generally the one to diffuse a tense situation, making a quip to ease the mood. When Nathan does take something seriously, he's very quiet and will listen intently if someone is speaking to him.


Weapon(s) of Choice: Two Threaded daggers, each with a blade about one foot in length.


Combat Experience: He has no real experience other than his training as a Weaver, but, being pretty short all his life, naturally he was going to be the target of school bullies, which gave him a great deal of experience on evading punches, kicks, and other assorted methods of blunt force trauma,  which will play a vital role in his Fighting Style.


Requested Ranking: 4.2


Likes and Dislikes:


+ Music in general.


+ Sleep.


+ People with a sense of humor.


- Hardasses.


- Reapers. Duh.


- Serious moments.


Quirks and Special Traits: He likes cheese. A lot. Like, a lot. He also has night terrors sometimes. 'About what?' I hear you ask, dear reader. The answer to this and more can be found in the BACKSTORY.


Background: When you ask Nathan about why he joined Weave, he'll usually say "Restaurant discounts," or "Someone had to fight back," or even the universal "It was the right thing to do," and while these answers aren't necessarily false, they are far from the entire truth. When the Reapers attacked, Nathan's city was hit especially hard. The streets swarmed with the things, people being slaughtered everywhere you looked. From above, it looked like someone had stepped on an ant hill, if the ant hill was directly above a portal to Hell. Nathan and his wife had quickly packed the absolute essentials, and were planning on driving to a friend's place on the other side of the state to ride whatever this was out. That's when it happened. The event that had haunted his every waking moment since. A Reaper knocked down the door to their apartment and pounced on Nathan's wife. Obviously, it started to tear at her. And Nathan just... watched. He did nothing to try and stop the beast or save his love. Now he knows that, had he attacked the thing, it would've just killed him too, but he still could've done something. He could've grabbed a knife from the kitchen and distracted it long enough for his wife to escape, or try to throw it off and carry her out, but... he just watched. And ran. Ran as fast as he could. He has dreams about her, where he's standing in some white void, and he can see her, but she has his back to him. He goes up to her, touching her shoulder, and saying how sorry he is. Then she turns, and she's... one of them- skin black as midnight, and eyes a bloody crimson. She jumps on him and starts ripping at his flesh, the way the Reaper had done to her, screaming about how he left her alone, about how he's a coward and how he left her to die. Then Nathan wakes up in a cold sweat. When he heard about Weave he registered immediately. This was how he would make things right.


Strengths and Weaknesses;

  • Nathan's small frame makes him fairly swift and agile.
  • It also makes him hard to land a hit on.
  • Which his great, because that tiny body isn't gonna be able to withstand much force, especially if the person is bigger and stronger.
  • With his small size, he's not going to be winning any battles with brute force.
  • The memory of his wife and the way he left her weighs very heavily on him, so if one were to find a way to exploit it, he'd be too distraught to do anything.



Reason For Joining Main Base: Redemption of himself for letting his wife get killed by a Reaper.


Fighting Style: Nathan's style is very evasive; dodging, ducking, dipping, diving, rolling, and even occasionally jumping over his opponent leap-frog style, waiting until they leave themselves open, and then quickly stabbing, slicing, filleting, or otherwise striking them with his daggers, and then quickly jumping away before they can retaliate.
