PERSONALITY
It's extremely hard to ruffle Nathaniel. He is hard to make angry and hard to annoy, mostly because he tamps down on a lot of his emotions. His mild-mannered, gentle persona is entirely genuine; Nathaniel is much more of a caregiver and a listener, an excellent person to talk to if you need someone nonjudgmental and easygoing.
At heart, Nathaniel is simply a kind and generous person with a big heart. He puts himself last, always doing his best to make everyone else feel comfortable and has a strong need to provide support and guidance to anyone who might need it. He is generally a very good person.
Throw Nathaniel into a confusing, convoluted situation, and Nathaniel is the one who can help come up with a solution. Level-headed and straightforward, Nathaniel's creativity and unique way of thinking and viewing things in front of him has always been a bonus, especially in less-than-appealing times.
Sometimes too mild-mannered, Nathaniel is very friendly, but his quiet, polite demeanor sometimes can result in appearing aloof and unfeeling. He doesn't react the same way as others; every reaction is muted, quieter, simpler, which can be off putting to any who are not used to it.
He does not open up easily. Nathaniel's heart is a closed book, and his inability to face his own harder, more painful emotions is a problem. He bottles everything up, to the point where it becomes unhealthy, and eventually the dam will break, and it will be a bad time for all. Nathaniel is the type of person who always wants to do everything on his own. Asking for help is a struggle; he believes he can only do things well and right if it's done himself, not out of arrogance, but out of a sense of personal pride. Highly intelligent, he works hard to educate himself and present himself as a resourceful, reliable individual but often feels overshadowed by those around him.
Nathaniel would call it realistic or just dry humor, but his tendency towards self-deprecation can be tiring, even to himself. He doesn't see himself as anything special, and has come to the conclusion that he is just another cog in the wheel. He's not angry about it, or upset about it; instead it seems to be just a fact to Nathaniel, something he has unfortunately come to accept about himself.
HOBBIES
Gardening - Everything comes down to gardening. Nathaniel's apartment is filled with plants, succulents, flowers, and any other flora and fauna he can manage to fit within a tiny square of space. He has a natural gift for growing things, and is always incredibly enthusiastic about both sharing his knowledge of gardening and also using it to make others happy.
Dog walking - What started off as a side job turned into one of Nathaniel's favorite past times. He volunteers at local animal shelters to walk the dogs and play with the animals, and usually has a great time dragging them all to the park and getting some fresh air and exercise for both himself and the dogs.
Learning - Nathaniel is a naturally gifted person who thinks of learning new things not just as a way to pass his classes, but also something to do to pass the time just for fun. To him, going to the library, researching, reading nonfiction books, and watching documentaries are all good fun, not something he's forced into.
HISTORY
Nathaniel's family is not exactly a well-to-do sort of family. An alcoholic, deadbeat father and an unsupportive mother has lead to a myriad of problems in Nathaniel's life, including the fact that his parents are not above going around conning people out of money. They've always struggled when it comes to finances, but Nathaniel's mother and father have taken it too far, and as a result, his father has been jailed for fraud. While his mother remains on her own, Nathaniel is old enough to live by himself, and has worked extremely hard not to let their mistakes and manipulation affect his appearance or his reputation - though this doesn't always work. This mostly leads to a general wariness and caution around people, as Nathaniel keeps a very tight lid on his history and doesn't want others to know about his humiliating parentage - but it also clashes with his overwhelming desire to make friends and become a respectable member of society. He struggles a lot with letting go of the fear of judgement and letting people get close to him, but he is no way antisocial. Polite and curious, he wants to be friends, it's just a matter of letting himself relax.
FACTS
Tall, green-eyed and sandy haired with lightly tanned skin and freckles; lithe and limber, not skinny but not muscular either
Dresses very carefully, keeps all his clothes very clean and tidy - he tends to wear sweater vests and sweaters a lot with jeans and teeshirts in the summer
Almost never wears shorts just because he's never liked them
Has always wanted a pet, but was never allowed one as a child
Works two jobs to afford his crappy little apartment - one as a janitor at a local office building, the other as a math tutor
Said apartment is extremely organized, but lacking in decoration or personal affects; everything is very sparse
Takes online college courses and is majoring in Calculus with a minor in History
A big nerd for books and studying in general; he loves learning
Gets everywhere through biking or skateboarding or walking because he can't afford a car
Hoards Snickers bars for when he needs a pick-me-up
When he's thinking, he drums his fingers against his leg, a habit he's never noticed before
Wears reading glasses and tends to forget they're on his face
The one decoration he has in his apartment is a series of plants, as he's always had a love of nature
Has always wanted to go camping but never got a chance to growing up
He has a relatively strong southern accent; he was born in Walhalla, South Carolina

Challenge: The calm is always in the center / Great storms announce themselves with a simple breeze
Weapon & Magic
Page - An old fashioned tide clock on a chain
Squire - A larger tide clock, still on a chain. Scamander turns the hands of the clock and the opponent will be surrounded by an illusion of a storm that sweeps them out into a rip tide. The effects are only illusory; they will experience a sense of rain, wind, thunder, lightning, and other effects of a storm at sea. This lasts about thirty seconds with a radius of approximately three feet.
Knight - Two medium sized clock hands connected by a chain. Scamander crosses the hands in front of himself and the opponent is immediately blasted back into an illusory storm that overtakes them. It is not painful, unless one is sensitive to the sound of thunder, but it is extremely overwhelming and all encompassing. This lasts about fifty seconds with a radius of approximately five feet.
Summons -- Sharp-shinned hawk - The hawk flaps its wings twice and the sound of thunder cracks out on them, causing a ringing sound in the opponent's ears. This lasts approximately twenty seconds.
