hello !! i’m super late to the game but sup, name’s ji-woo ( ji is ok too ) and i haven’t properly rped in 1+ year but i’m ?? so excited to be here ??? i’m not sure how intro posts work but there’s more about nate under the cut !!
his full name is nathaniel étienne laflamme castillo (would rather not be associated w his deadbeat father), but nathan/nate is what he usually goes by
born in montreal (qc), half-filipino and half-french canadian
but his mother was diagnosed w gaucher disease when he was 12, so they moved in with his uncle in connecticut so he could help her raise the kids + financially
so speaks french (québécois), english (w a tiny accent) and some basic tagalog
his mom and little sister are lit everything to him, he would probably die for them, no joke
his uncle was a prominent father figure in his life and passed down his passion + knowledge of cars/mechanics (and, being an ex-boxer, some handy tips on how to handle himself in a fight)
he also passed away in a car accident in nate’s last year of high school. nathan only barely graduated.
on a lighter note, has a rescue cat named cleo he’s like. in love with (even if she’s out of the house or ignoring him half the time)
actually hardworking: is good at his job and puts the efforts to be good at it. would be a stellar employee if it wasn’t for his temper/habit of getting into random fights
has existential crises in the regular, and him feeling empty ends up w him doing some illegal shit or punching some dude in the face
will also generally be up for anything that’ll give him a rush of adrenaline (breaking and entering is his personal fave)
somewhat self-righteous, has his own moral code and will not hesitate to settle something he does not think is right
provoked w a y too easily. he tries to keep himself in check to not worry his fam (or to keep his job) but the amount of self-control he possesses is laughable tbh
like he can be an ass but if u catch him at a good time he’s really fun to be around, doesn’t take himself too seriously and gets really into whatever game u throw his way
not super book smart (not that he really tried that hard at school), but learns really fast w his hands. never went to college, but did follow an auto mechanic apprenticeship
is lowkey (ok, maybe highkey) prejudiced against rich ppl, p much hates them bc he thinks they’re all snobs + don’t know the meaning of respect. would have said no to this job in a flash if it wasn’t for the money that came with it (so this summer is going to be…. interesting)
i thought i was only covering basics but this got.... long (and made me realize how unfortunate nate’s life has been. like what the hec k) but if u made it this far, thank u.. so.... much ( hit me up to plot !!! )
