Nate

## Description

Nate is a dark haired, olive-skinned man of presumably Azlanti lineage. Well built, but with a frame mostly hidden under clerical robes the man spends most of his time aboard the ship the Arodenneia as the first mate to Captain Dawneyes. He has purple eyes, but these are often hidden under a thin blindfold that he wears in adulation to his captain and the captains condition. He is likely between the maturity levels of 25 and 35 but his exact age is unknown.

Nate is kind and curious, not soft spoken in any way he has a habit in speaking in cheesy poetic-ism in times of strong emotion. Can be often stoic and sober much like his captain he is just as often sociable and polite to strangers, he tries his best to respect other's beliefs and cultures and is usually the first to defend his peers who differ from him in ways he dislikes simply through sheer belief in everyone's right to not only choose their own life but the understanding that people are complicated. That said he hates unnecessary violence and will equally be the first to lead the charge against oppressive tyrant types and callous chaotic lunatics who use their inherent freedom to harm others- this has gotten him into trouble before.

## History

Nate has lost his true name, and was supposedly fished out of the sea one day, unconscious, by the captain who adopted the young man and gave him a name that was apparently very dear to the old captain- the crew affectionately gave Nate the official last name of First Mate for the rhyming purposes. A joke the man hates to be reminded of to this very day. He has since acted as a loyal crew member under the tutelage of Captain Dawneyes and in the arms of his lover, Hark of Hakkamar. His main goal however is to learn more of his old life, his true name and his heritage.

It has only been recently when he came to the bloodlands with the captain to rest on a monster hunt that he met with adventurers of the atoll- one of which was an Azlanti from before skyfall. This azlant named Atara immediately gained attention and trust from Nate and with permission from the captain was shown the greatest secret the Arodenneia had to offer, as a gift to this Azlant woman Nate crafted her a mithril ring with a mysterious, teal gemstone.

### Letters of the Heavens
