Hunter Bio
Name: Nathan Fawke
Gender: Male
Squad: Death

Appearance: Tall and wiry, with pale skin and chestnut hair cropped in a business-like style. His eyes are a green-hazel and he’s easy to smile even if that expression is somewhat condescending or false. Clothing tends towards the tailored side of things but it’s usually worn and/or cheap. When working odd jobs he’ll wear more casual gear along the lines of jeans or t-shirts but when attempting to con someone he’ll don his best garb.

History:

Born and raised in a low income family plagued with the problems of poverty – criminal activity, lack of food and education – Nathan was exposed to the worst in people from very early on. His father made a living as a Conman, swindling money and goods from hopeful entrepreneurs and the elderly, while his mother squandered that income with her gambling addiction as she was convinced their financial security was dependent upon winning the lottery or a big prize at the casino. He managed to make it through highschool, just barely graduating, and as soon as he was of age he disappeared.

From that point onward, Nathan worked in whatever he could find, often low paying day jobs and menial labour. Dissatisfied with his lot in life, and the hand-to-mouth lifestyle, he started taking bigger risks and became involved in more nefarious dealings – smuggling, conning, and occasionally running drugs or information. As a result he became just as embroiled in the criminal underbelly of the city as his parents had been and it was a matter of time before things went south.

It was during one such delivery run where he was tasked with selling inferior goods for superior prices that the deal ended up in bloody violence. Several of those involved were killed and he shot and left for dead. Emergency services picked him up in time to save his life but the encounter left him with an oppressive medical bill. Once discharged, Nathan was forced to find some way of dodging the bills and squirmed deeper into the seedy part of society.

However, doing so revealed his experience had left him with an ability to see the shadows around bad things… to feel the fear much more keenly and it unnerved him. Work became impossible as the shadows clung to most everything he encountered and as homelessness and desperation threatended to consume him, fancy looking individuals pulled up and offered him a gloved hand. It wasn’t the dress or the fancy car that won him over it was this simple statement, “We know about the Shadows.” With nothing else to do and nowhere else to go, he accepted that hand and was thus recruited to the Hunters.

Personality:
Nathan is cynical, street smart, intelligent, and cunning in addition to manipulative, selfish, and of questionable morals. His life on the streets has left him with a distinct lack of trust in anyone but him but he’ll recognize a parallel goal when he sees one – he’s not afraid to capitalize on opportunity. On a more positive note, Nathan can be loyal but its takes a great deal to win that trust and once broken he never gives it again. Oh he’ll work with you and get the mission done but he’d just as soon leave you to die if things go bad – he’s not repeating the last time that happened.

Resourceful and observant, Nathan isn’t afraid to gets his hands dirty and the opportunity to kick some a** with the Hunters has proven far too juicy to pass up. There’s nothing more cathartic then beating the stuffing out of something. That resourcefulness combines with his street-sense to make him a bit of a pack rat, however, and he’ll often pocket things when people aren’t looking or bring back items that he probably isn’t allowed to have. Sure it gets him in trouble – if they find it, and it’s good stuff why the hell would some nosy boss man berate him for it?

That’s right, he’s confident and cocky to anyone outside his tiny social circle. The bravado acts a barrier between him and everyone else, keeping them off his back. That said, he does get scared, very scared, but is simply too withdrawn or too proud to admit it.

All in all, he’s hardly a shining example of humanity but Nathan has uses and skills that are valuable to Hunters’ cause.
