Nate

"The first good thing we can do, is just to trust each other!"

Nate is one of the main characters of Loss of Nightmares.

## Appearance

Nate is a human with short, unkempt brown hair, fading to orange near some tips, two small black hairclips on his left side. In most spots, his bangs fall just short of his eyes, one patch in between a bit longer. He has green eyes with a blue hue to them, though they turn into simplistic white circles in certain situations (though this is likely done as an artistic choice, and does not reflect his in-universe appearance).

His clothes consist of an open white collarless zip-up jacket, the ends of its sleeves blue, with one pocket on his left side, worn over a black button-up shirt, the top buttons unbuttoned and its collar put over his jacket, and under that he wears a white shirt. He loosely wears a blue tie around his neck. He wears black pants (which are darker than his shirt), held up by a brown belt similar to the one Nest wears. He wears black sneakers with white highlights and sole, and he wears his bracelet on his left wrist.

## Personality

Easy-going and incredibly friendly, though not without some sass, Nate is like a dog, in that he's an optimist that wants to befriend everyone. Though, as optimistic as he is about the situation, he can also get demotivated very fast, giving up on escape despite only having checked one floor of the facility. Weirdly, despite talking a lot to Nest and Elia, as well as asking them both many questions about the situation, he is completely silent towards Kylian, who he could ask the answers to.

He doesn't seem to have a "self"; he asks others about themselves, but never talks about himself, and during the confrontation with Kylian, he heavily mimicks Elia's behavior, turning around when he sees Elia do so, or when he looked at her and adjusted his pose to match hers.

## Lore

### Backstory

Absolutely nothing is known about Nate's backstory, as, despite how outgoing he is, he never talks about himself. The only thing that is certain is that he somehow ended up in the facility, presumably being abducted like the rest.

### Powers

As a regular human, Nate has no supernatural abilities, though he does have surprisingly good information extraction skills. Almost seeming accidental, he got information about Nest, Elia, their relationship, and even parts of their abilities. Granted, the information was fragmentary, but he nevertheless got them to trust him with information within mere minutes of meeting him.

## Trivia

* In the opening to Loss of Nightmares, when the four characters flash on screen, he is placed after Elia and before Kylian, despite being introduced before her.
	+ In the same opening, he remains stoic and expressionless, contrary to how openly he expresses his emotions in the series.
		- He notably has this expressionlessness in common with Kylian, who also remains still in the opening, compared to the nests that do not.
* He displays some weird behavior towards Kylian; when Kylian nods at him, he nods back and winks at him, and at the end of the episode, he turns and smiles at him just before going off-screen.
