Nathan Collins

Category:Characters
Nathan Collins, also known as Nate, is a member of The Peacekeepers as The Eagle [2IC] in Thirlcrest Academy.
== Appearance ==
Nathan, a pretty average 17-year-old, stands at 6'2 and towers over most of his peers, using this to his advantage of sorts when he ran with the Bruisers. He has dark brown hair mostly all over the place, as it isn't well kept most of the time. He leaves it how it is. His usual clothing ranges from a Northface jacket with his Green vest under, or other variants with the Green vest implemented into his outfit. He has a big square bandage on his cheek, along with a permanent black eye in his left eye. Also carrying a heavy Boston accent, he speaks and uses different words or terms unfamiliar to the people around Maine.
== Characteristics ==
Formerly one of the more aggressive members of the Bruisers, he shows undying loyalty to his friends. Nathan used to have one goal in mind with the Bruisers: that he would clear anyone in their path on the way to the top of the school hierarchy. At present, he could be chilled and laid back, mostly with the peacekeepers or people he's been friends with for quite a while. Nathan is usually out of contact with the bruisers. Except for one of them named Rodrygo, who he sees still as a friend, Rodrygo also sees him as a friend of sorts. Nathan struggles with maturity as he acts on impulse or does unnecessary things, leaving him a hazard from time to time with explosive anger and landing him in a group like the bruisers. Soon after making the switch to the peacekeepers, he learned to keep control of it and only lash out rarely.
== Character Background ==
=== CHAPTER 1: THE STOMPING GROUNDS ===
Nathan had a rough childhood in Brockton, Massachusetts. He often got into fights in the streets and had a reputation for being a troublemaker. His mother was his only source of stability, but unfortunately, she died due to his father's abusive behavior.
With nowhere else to turn, he was stuck there his mom was gone and she was his only lifeline, he was on his own from here on out.
By the age of 10, Nathan had already been caught shoplifting several times and had started hanging out with older kids who were involved in more serious crimes. He quickly learned how to navigate the streets and became a skilled thief and pickpocket, using his small size and quick reflexes to evade detection.
At school, Nathan was often in trouble for fighting and disrupting classes. He struggled to keep up with his studies and found solace in his reputation as a tough guy. His behavior often led to suspensions and expulsions, further exacerbating his problems at home.
Despite his difficult upbringing, Nathan was fiercely independent and determined to survive. He continued to engage in petty crimes and illegal activities, this also made him a target for law enforcement.
Nathan was drawn to the excitement of crime. He started hanging out with a local crew of troublemakers, engaging in petty crimes such as theft and vandalism. Over time, his involvement with the group became more serious, and he found himself participating in more dangerous activities.
Nathan's life of crime was a constant source of stress and danger, but it also gave him a sense of belonging and purpose that he had never experienced before. He became increasingly violent and aggressive, developing a reputation as a skilled fighter who would not back down from a challenge.
By the time Nathan turned 14, he had been involved in a spree of petty crimes and was a well-known member of his group. His reputation as a fighter and his criminal record made it difficult for him to envision a different life for himself.
He had witnessed violence and crime on a daily basis and had been forced to fight in the streets to survive. Fighting became a way of life for Nathan, and he found himself drawn to the rush of adrenaline and the sense of control it gave him.
Despite his tough exterior, Nathan was deeply troubled by his experiences. He struggled with anger and aggression and often felt isolated and alone. He had few friends, and those he did have were also involved in street fighting and other dangerous behaviors.

=== CHAPTER 2: FUCKED UP ===
One day, Nathan found himself in the middle of a plan to rob a local convenience store. He joined a group of older kids who had been planning the job for weeks and was eager to prove himself. The plan was simple: they would storm into the store, brandishing weapons, and make off with as much cash as they could carry.
Things didn't go quite as planned. As they entered the store, the cashier panicked and hit the alarm. Within moments, the police were on the scene, and Nathan and his accomplices found themselves surrounded. Shots were fired, and the group scattered, running in all directions.
Nathan ran as fast as he could, heart pounding in his chest. He had never been in a situation like this before, and he was terrified. He darted down alleyways and through backyards, hoping to lose the police in the maze of streets. For a while, it seemed like he might succeed.
But then he made a mistake. He tried to climb over a fence, but his foot slipped, and he fell to the ground with a painful thud. By the time he got back on his feet, the police were upon him. He was caught, handcuffed, and taken into custody.
At 14 years old, Nathan found himself facing serious charges. He had participated in a violent crime and had run from the police. He knew that his future looked grim.

Nathan was absent from school for months, taking time off and being dragged back home by his father. Months later, he had soon returned. The school had the same vibe but was different. He couldn't place his finger on it. Most of his old friends were off doing other things when Nathan returned. With Nathan's return, his ideals have changed quite a bit, realizing the whole bruiser mentality would get him nowhere.
With that, Nathan met Adrian Banks, who was walking up to him and questioning him about the peacekeepers, as he didn't know much about them except for occasional fist fights with the members. He was spotted speaking to the peacekeepers by his old friends, such as Rodrygo and Tyrone. Soon after, he was swarmed by over 10 bruisers, dragged off to the bathroom, and questioned. He lied and attempted to brush it off as they let him go. Soon after this, he was spotted for the second time, being dragged off by them again, thrown onto the flag pole, and beaten as a result. This marked Nathan's official leave from the bruisers.
