NAME: Nathaniel Ayers SPECIES: Human
ALIASES: Nate HOMEWORLD: Commenor
AFFILIATION: Silver Jedi AGE: 17
RANK: Padawan

STRENGTH: ••••••• HEIGHT: 5'9"
DEXTERITY: •••••• WEIGHT: 135lbs
CONSTITUTION: ••••••• EYES: Hazel
INTELLIGENCE: •••••••• HAIR: Brown
WISDOM: ••••• SKIN: Pale
CHARISMA: •••••• FORCE SENSITIVE: Yes.


PERSONALITY:

Blessed (or cursed, in his opinion) with eidetic memory, it has caused him to grow into something
of a subdued, almost grim, young man. Constantly assailed by a torrent of memories, both good
and bad and remembered in perfect clarity, Nathaniel wages a war with his mind every waking
moment of his life as he struggles to keep his thoughts clear and mind focused; save for when he
sleeps, his mind is still then. He never dreams.

Catch him during one of those rare hours where he has managed to get a grip on his memory and

he's an amicable and animated young man who's love of life--normally suppressed to the casual
onlooker by the struggle he faces daily--becomes apparent as his eyes begin to sparkle and dance
with humor and good cheer. Recently, however, Nathaniel's mood has become much more volatile.
Unlike ever before, he's become more extroverted and not always in a good way.

At times he's deliberately antagonizing and will simply refuse to back down from an argument and

hold a grudge for hours, even days afterwards. Then there are times when he forgets what has
been done to him; usually during moments of extreme excitement or academic absorption.
These are changes, showing themselves occasionally enough to cause him to be held back
from promotion from Padawan, something he finds annoying but understands. It's hard for him,
with a memory that can assail him with images and impressions from days past, to be totally attentive
and patient all the time.

APPEARANCE:

Just seventeen years old, Nate is sharp featured with an angular jaw and prominent nose, Nathaniel
is considered more striking than handsome. Heavy lids rest atop weary brown eyes which rest below
prominent thick brows. Standing five feet, eight inches tall, Nathaniel's body is compact, almost stocky
stocky and powerfully built. He keeps his hair short and well kept, paying similar attention to the thin
beard that runs along his jawline. He has a style of his own, vests, short pants and shoeless when
possible, Nathaniel is not one for traditional Jedi dress.

10 for the layout. I like it. May steal it... huh? I didn't say that. >.>

Interesting character. I love the memory idea. The tortured soul aspect is a little overdone but you make it unique for [member="Nathaniel Ayers"] so kudos on that. :)

I'm glad you like the layout...it's not nearly what I normally like to do, since the table function for IPB is less robust than what vbulletin offers, feel free to use it if you like!

Also, it's not so much a tortured soul aspect as it is an actual side effect of the condition. Eidetic memory is real, and the few people that have it in its most severe form have a horrible time controlling their memory. With certain triggers (stress, adrenaline, fear, happiness, etc) it can cause them to be assailed by a torrent of images or however their memory stores information. It's a really fascinating thing and something I'm excited to play with.

Aha, I see now. I hadn't heard of it before. Very interesting. I can't wait to see the character in action. :) What path do you plan to take him? If you still need a master I have a patient knight [member="Uri Aureleos"] who would take him as a padawan (depending on how well they mesh). He's a Republic Jedi instead of a Silver but they're allies so it shouldn't matter a whole lot. if you're interested we can work something out.
