* Quarters: Usually neat, except he has a tendency to leave PADDs and isolinear chips laying around on tables and counters. A few pictures of his family line the place. He does display an empty bottle of Saurian Brandy which reminds him of a friend from the Academy.

* Hobbies and Pastimes: Nathan loves the holodeck. If he's not working, he usually doing something relaxing with one of his many self-programmed holoprograms. (See likes) He also enjoys just fiddling with things. Taking them apart and putting them back together (hopefully in better condition than when he started).

* Ambitions and Goals: Nathan has something of a thirst for engineering knowledge. He loves to read technical journals or the latest paper on warp theory. He just wants to be a great engineer, but doesn't want the "legendary" status of someone like Montgomery Scott. It's possible he'll never live up to his own idea of what he should be.

* Disappointments in Life: Never getting to know his Uncle who became his hero. Nathan also feels he let people down when he had to leave Starfleet. He hopes it won't happen again.

* Temperament: Even in the most dire of circumstances, he has a great ability to stay calm. Although if something constantly fails or doesn't go his way, he can become very agitated to the point of yelling. Nathan is smart. Almost too smart for his own good. Even now his eagerness to be right can get him into trouble. He's a stickler for making something a good as it can be, but understands that perfection is usually a pipe dream. Though he is both of those things, he comes off rather nonchalant which can tend to make people think he doesn't care about his work; but Nathan just prefers to keep his excitement in check unless something is truly remarkable (to him).

* Physical Limitations: Though Nathan used to maintain a more athletic figure while younger, his foray into academia has seen him put on some weight and lose some stamina. He also continues to struggle with his hypersensitive hearing at times.

Born to a loving family, Nathan was always curious about almost everything. He would continuously sneak into the station's cargo facilities and get into his fair share of trouble. His life of mischief ended abruptly when he was eleven years old. It was when he learned of the tragedy of Wolf 359 and the destruction of the USS Melbourne, where his Uncle was assigned. From then on, with minor tendencies toward day dreaming and extended holodeck activities, Nathan started on track to following in his Uncle's footsteps and to become an Engineer. He studied technical journals, examined holographic warp cores, and talked with the many freight captains who visited the station. He even helped Dr. Lewis Zimmerman as a part-time lab assistant when he was 15.
