tab tab Talent Number One ; Medical studies. Nate is a borderline prodigy in the medicinal field and, once given access to mentors, his talent became obvious to those around him. No doubt, in time, he will be a truly impressive healer but at his current age (though advanced for his peer group) it is clear that he has much still to learn in the grand scheme of this art.
tab tab Talent Number Two; Chemistry. Few things fascinate the boy as much as the investigation and study of unusual substances. How they are created, what they can be mixed with, and what is born from his experiments.. He has hundreds of notebooks stashed around his work space with recipes including a personal favorite of his: Shambler's Tonic, the mixture of zombie bile, human opiorphin, and a few other choice ingredients that produce a rather potent (non harmful) sleeping draft.
tab tab Talent Number Three; Pushing buttons. Literally and figuratively Nate has a true gift for impulsively messing with people and things. His mentor once told him he could make a saint swear and a devil cry with his mischief, Nate took it as high praise from the usually stoic man. He has a knack for luring people into his personal rhythm and often pulls people into his pranks/plots when the mood strikes him. To top it off? He rarely regrets his behaviors and, especially if pushed to do so, refuses to apologize for them out of principle.
𝓦𝓮𝓪𝓴𝓷𝓮𝓼𝓼𝓮𝓼
tab tab Weakness One; His inexperience. Both in a professional and a personal sense there is much he doesn't know yet and honestly.. That makes him uneasy, creating doubts and stalling his productivity. When conflicted in emotional matters he gets restless and rebellious, known to make bad choices in the heat of the moment.
tab tab Weakness Two; His mortality. Nate is human and just as fragile as any of his breed. Honestly? Perhaps more so, he may be 'fit' like a runner but he is not nearly as strong as some other humans nor as fast for that matter.
tab tab Weakness Three; Knowledge. To learn, to understand new things, there is little he wouldn't do. Morality? Laws? These words mean nothing to his unusual mind and he explores any subject readily regardless of how fickle or questionable it may be. When his attention is fixated on something he becomes obsessive, even agitated if his studies are interrupted.

tab tab Traits- Nate is what one would call a skeptical soul. He is stubborn, willful, ingenious when he wants something, and entirely too quick to say honestly what is on his mind at any given time.. regardless of how offensive or rude it may sound. The boy just calls it like he sees, stating the facts of a person or situation no matter how they are received by the listener. As if that isn't enough he also has authority issues, refusing to submit to blind obedience and questioning everything even when most would shut up and stop caring. Because of this, he has quite the shallow ocean of information stored away. In all honesty he 'needs' to learn like a starving man needs food, his curiosity often motivating him to investigate new things and landing him into trouble. Nate is fairly audacious when it comes to the world around himself, though admittedly more than a few things seem to scare him and he does value survival.. He never lets himself be cowed or controlled without a fight. More often than not he is trying new things simply for the sake of finding out how it works or what it is like. New food? Down the hatch. Strange button? He's going to push it. Maybe even twice, if he was told not to do it in the first place. New odd sentient species? He wants to take it apart to see how it works. Sure, he might get a little roughed up along the way, but if it is worth it.. He’ll go to any length to do what he thinks needs to be done, if his efforts are considered sane or not.
Despite his willful nature Nate is young by most professional standards, and just as uncertain as most his age when it comes to emotional matters. Honestly the boy is affectionate and gentle if someone can get past his defiant temperament and subtly mischievous habits.. Not to mention his rather calculating approach to deconstructing and studying other living things to understand them. Nate generally becomes so focused on those (willing and unwilling) patients around himself he often forgets to mind his own needs in the process. Few can keep him in line or get past his stubborn 'don't tell me what to do' mindset. This exception applies to his few friends. Though he acts compliant for them, to others he is simply oblivious when they try to order him about; Ignoring them entirely unless someone he respects tells him to behave otherwise. Of course he is less sarcastic towards people he likes and he is more likely to listen when they ask him to do something, but he has always been bold, out-spoken, clever, resourceful, and plucky in his own way. One would never expect him to be 'mature' in his actions, he is still very much young man and just as hard to handle, but in serious situations.. Well, he was force-fed the responsibilities of being a scientist and healer since a young age and he still takes the study to heart. Knowing he still has much to learn he makes it a point to expand his medical knowledge and abilities whenever possible, ever reaching to improve himself in his own.. unusual.. ways. Oddly, he becomes possessive of his willing patients (those he intends to heal) and will offer them sanctuary in his care until they fully recover. It is rare he keeps a unwilling test subject (those he has taken to study) alive, finding it easier on both parties to simply examine the corpses. He can become obsessive about his projects until he fully understands the subject and he doesn't see his behavior is 'bad'. It is 'normal' like buying ice cream or playing cards, but he understands other people are 'squeamish' so he has learned not to talk about it in idle conversation.

- tab tab To be clear Nate was not born to the Sukikyo clan. His original family, the Hobbs, were Hunters that fixated on the eradication of supernatural beings. Werewolves in particular seemed to be their favorite targets though they were well known to seek out the undead as well. Ghosts, Zombies, Vampires, Windigos... They were all equally disliked by the mortals that pushed back in the night. Using science and skill they spent generations culling the horde of unnatural beasts and yet, with each passing generation, they became fewer and fewer. The last of the line was Nate's mother and, though strong in her own right, the woman knew she couldn't protect her child from the wrath of the night world alone. So, for the love of her child, she did the unthinkable.. She approached one of her respected enemies in the Sukikyo and offered her child into their care in exchange for her head. His birth mother died that day, given the respect and honor she deserved in her final moments, and Nate himself was raised as a true son of the Sukikyo clan until he was four years old. Something happened, the details vague to his young mind, but he would later learn that his clan had been purged including the loving man that had taken guardianship of him for those brief and beloved years. How he survived the event he has no idea, no solid memory remains of the day despite the occasional nightmare that fades upon waking, but he remembers flickers of the days that came next. The authorities placed him in a orphanage where he remained for another four years until a Couple adopted him. They were.. less than. Friendly but not loving, helpful yet awkward, and it was clear they had chosen him not for his personality but rather his bloodline. How they knew who he was, the last child of a Hunter's line, he still doesn't know but they were intent on pulling him back into the fold and made that clear by marking his last name as Hobbs. For this reason Nate had to grow up quickly, given no room to be a child but instead pushed to be a 'proper' boy that obeyed orders. The charm of having a son wore off soon enough and they reverted to treating him like a apprentice instead of family, pouring as much studies and activities as he could handle on his shoulders. His.. unusual.. personality was attributed to his bloodline and, finding it useful to their ends, his skills were nurtured and even encouraged to help his adoptive parents get a upper hand in their Hunts of the supernatural creatures.
Knowing no better way, barely remembering the four years of happiness in his life, Nate has spent his young life finding effective tools to use against supernatural and mortal beings alike. Poisons that only work on Fae creatures? He synthesized a toxin in two months. Sleeping draft to capture live subjects? It took a week. This life, sheltered and chained by the Couple, made him restless. Obeying orders, suppressing himself at every turn? The day came that he finally snapped. Reaching far and wide he found a job that would suit him and, with obsessive attention, sought out every outlet and source he could absorb into his chosen craft of Medical Studies. A young teenager of sixteen, and home schooled up to this point, he convinced his guardians to fund his fast-track into college for the career under the pretense of using his education for their goals. He needed their money and frankly they needed his skills. He had planned to keep his end of the bargain, they had more or less raised him after all, but fate is a fickle thing and it came calling shortly after his second year in school. He'd taken to living in the dorms, finding it easier and more liberating, so he wasn't home when his adoptive parents received a strange guest in the night. Officers of the law came to him the next afternoon and, with genuine surprise, he was escorted to the morgue to identify the mauled and dismembered remains. Those investigating the case said it was a serial killer.. Nate observed the obvious claw and bite marks silently as tears slid down his cheeks. They had been the only parents he could remember and he felt grief for their loss but.. no rage, no vengeance roared in his heart. If anything a shred of relief spread through his chest as he watched the corpses vanish under the white sheets once more. They were free now from their silly games.. and so too was he.
Funding his own college was difficult but he did it, working multiple jobs here and there while studying with that intense focus of his but honestly the only reason he succeeded was a strange little blood-coated package left under his door one rather uneventful night. Inside the sullied wrapping was a pristine packet of papers.. A signed will that named him heir to a deceased member of the Sukikyo clan. Nate thought it was a hoax, even started to toss it aside, until a little slip of paper fell from the rest. It was a hand drawn scribble of... A snake woman? A tall, oddly portioned man, a bird of some sort, a strangely dressed woman with a large grin.. and a little potato child with black hair and red eyes chasing a taller potato of like coloring. His drawing, when he said he'd wanted black hair like his father's instead of the dull white it was.. Phantoms from a memory he barely recognized. A giant he called Shou-kun? A beautiful woman that smiled when he said Oba-chan.. His heart squeezed as he sank to his knees, confusion and distress eating at him as he had the vaguest sense of being left behind in the dark, someone's large hands sliding a floor panel above him and leaving him in silence. The silence that lasted all these years after, missing something vital but unable to see it. Before he could understand why tears had once again fell from his lashes as he grasped the silly little drawing in his hand and hung his head. He didn't know why.. but he knew he cared for the people in his memory more than anything. They were what had been missing during those cold years with his adoptive guardians. He had to find out why they were taken, what had happened in those fuzzy memories. Taking the gift given he accepted the inheritance and used it to fund his education, becoming certified at the age of 23 years old. For a while he spent time in another hospital learning the practical side of his craft and, with his own income and the rather abundant wealth left to him, he has finally opened his own clinic in a location of his choice. It helps that he is familiar with the many species and can offer medical services to them due to his questionable studies of their anatomies and when needed he readily steps up into the role of doctor to heal or mend those in need. Why he chose to open a small-time clinic instead of going on to larger hospitals is rather simple. He has a motive in this area and needs a degree of isolation for the continued development of his craft, determined to find out what happened to his beloved father and family all those years ago while still polishing his skills.
