Character: Nathan Brooks Pre-Incarnation: Near (Nate River) Location(s): Shepherd's Haven
Description: Near was an extremely reclusive and co-dependent detective who was raised to succeed L, the world's greatest.
Nathan is . . . also very reclusive, but actually capable of looking after himself to some degree. While he prefers to live a quiet life, he can't exactly ignore everything that's happening now. He's a timid sort, and all of his skills lend him to more of a support and information-gathering kind of role. (Hey, his preincarnation was a detective, what else to you expect?) Pre-Numbered CR Opportunities: I've kept his core family very small, but I'm not opposed to slightly more distant relations. Anyone who grew up or worked in poorer areas of Locke might have had a chance to meet him. He also briefly (from about late September 2014 to around the end of February 2015) worked a very boring data entry job at somewhere I never specified. Open/Wanted CR: Nathan has a lot of supportive people in his life, which is great for him because good god does he need a support network, and I'd never say no to more, but . . . Someone needs to steamroll this poor doormat. Nathan doesn't have a lot of confidence and has trouble asserting himself. He's a prime target for this kind of treatment. Hooks: Nathan is an intellectual, so any discussion of just how something works or trying to figure out what something means will get his attention. He . . . also has his preincarnation's obsession with children's toys, so he's pretty into that. Especially robots. He mostly is in and around Shepherd's Haven and the surrounding towns, because . . . Well, as I said, he's reclusive. Plans/ongoing plots: I don't have much in the way of concrete plans, but he's one of the folks who was contacted by the informant about Thundercorp's intentions. And he is very concerned about this. As a character arc, I really want him to develop some more courage and self-confidence. But that's a long road. Anything Else?: No, really, he's 20. Pay no attention to his lack of height, baby-face, and the robot action figures he swoops around.
