'''===Manner===''' | |||
* 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. | |||
* Habits: Cracks his knuckles when preparing to perform a task. | |||
* Mannerisms: Nathan is quite laid back. Unless he is required to be at attention or similar, he'll just relax. He will also try to crack a joke, be witty, or generally try to liven up the mood whenever he can. | |||
* Religion/Spiritual Devotion: N/A | |||
* 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). | |||
* Likes: All things engineering, holography, cooking, Poker, Dom Jot, having a good time when the mood calls for it. | |||
* Dislikes: Negativity, overconfidence from others (an irony he isn't fully aware of), Exercise. | |||
* 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. | |||
* Achievements in Life: Graduating from Starfleet Academy, serving on state-of-the-art ships, earning his Masters and PhD. | |||
* 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). | |||
* Mental problems (complexes and phobias): Fear of spiders. Especially big ones. Otherwise, Nathan's devotion to hard work can make him seem like somewhat of a workaholic. But when it's not work time, he is ready to be the life of the party. | |||
* 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. | |||
'''===Personal History===''' | |||
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. | Born to a loving family, Nathan was always curious about almost everything.

After a few more missions on Titan, one as First Officer, Nathan took a sabbatical from Starfleet to ascertain the wearabouts of this parents who were exploring the Gamma Quadrant. When he returned to Starfleet, Nathan transferred to the USS Steadfast and served as Chief Engineer. | After a few more missions on Titan, one as First Officer, Nathan took a sabbatical from Starfleet to ascertain the wearabouts of this parents who were exploring the Gamma Quadrant.

Later, for reasons not stated, Nathan took another extended LOA. He has yet to report those activities to Starfleet. All that is known is that Nathan got his Masters Degree in Subspace Mechanics from MIT on Earth. He returned 3 years later to continue his Starfleet career. | |||
After a brief stint back in Starfleet serving on the Indria-A, Nathan's thirst for knowledge was too great and he retired from active service to begin work on earning his PhD. After four years of study, he earned a double doctorate in Subspace Mechanics and Warp Theory from Princeton University on Earth. Though he has done several standard papers regarding warp drive and subspace properties, Nathan's focus has turned to understanding new FTL propulsion technology being applied to Starfleet ships. | |||
