Green Nate

*"..."*

## Background

Nate originates from the far off island named Worcork. The inhabitants of Worcork are split into districts, each with a school in which everyone must learn a different type of magic. Nate was unfortunate enough to be placed within the hardest school to master, the Glighton school of Druidry.

Nate, already enrolling into the school a few years late, due to his chronic laziness, never placed at the top of his classes, and for 12 years of his life was ridiculed for his lack of talent. During the final exam, Nate overslept and never showed up, and after a meeting with the council, it was decided that Nate would fail school completely and be stripped of all of his (lacklustre) druid powers.

While being stripped of his powers, the spell being used on Nate misfired, and left him with a small fraction of his powers, specifically those to do with grass. This also caused a small trace of Grass DNA to enter him, causing his Plant Hybrid trait. After this malfunction, Nate fled the scene, and a warrant for his execution was called, no “mistake” could leave the small town of Glighton, their reputation was too high. While fleeing, Nate picks up a large bundle of grass and transforms it into a pair of wings, allowing him to fly off the island, never looking back.

After visiting various different isles, Nate stumbles across Farcombe, damaged from the flight, his wings begin to dissipate, causing him to plummet towards the ground. Maybe this will be the place he finally fits in.

## Appearance

Nate wears a torn-up green coloured blazer, branded with the logo for the radiant council, which has been torn at the right arm. Under this blazer, he wears a basic greenish coloured shirt with a design of a TOOL on it. He also wears a short, pink, western bow tie. They also don a green worn out cape, with what remains of it reaching down to the waist. The inside of the cape is pink and is attached to the back of the blazer. They also wear a pair of blue-grey trousers. Nate’s arm has a protrusion of grass where their blazer rips. Grass is also seen climbing up their brown loafers. He appears constantly tired, due to constantly fearing for his life. His hair appears brown, however is actually grey and stays brown due to slight tempering with magic. However this tempering isn’t strong enough, as there are still strands of grey that seep through.

## Personality

When meeting a new person, Nate appears uneasy and evasive, as they are unsure whether they are safe to be around or not. This typically causes Nate to stress out easily as he never truly knows that he will be safe. However, if the time is taken, Nate can grow to enjoy the company of others, after the span of a few days Nate may slowly become friends with whoever talks to him frequently.

Professionally though, Nate is quick to be helpful if a cash payment is involved. Always in need of money, Nate is willing to take up any job for money, however prefers to keep out of conflict and stick to mowing people's lawns.

## Abilities

After crash landing so harshly, along with the previously mentioned spell, Nate’s powers have been seriously dampened. However, being a semi-druid, Nate still has some abilities.

* Can collect lumps of grass in order to power himself up. Only gives him a slight speed and power boost however may allow him to easily escape a battle.
* Can quickly grow grass. It’s uhh, not very exciting.
* Can mow a lawn like, really well.
* Can competently steal items from people, as he has had to gain that ability from being shunned so often.
* Can talk to animals. They don’t understand him and he can’t understand them, but he can still talk to them.

## Essence of Grass

Nate has the Essence of Grass, a very weak essence that allows the bearer to grow grass really well. The bearer also gains a slight speed and strength boost when holding a Clump of Grass.
