He naturally has a droopy poker face on and speaks monotonously. He doesn't like gaining attention and neither does he flaunt his fame. He'd rather just enjoy some peace and music alone or with his family. He's also secretly a romantic (judging from his playlist).

Biography
Nathaniel is the eldest of the Reyes siblings. His father was a commander in the military and his mother a pilot, but despite their busy schedules, his parents manage to stay in touch with him and his sister and not once did they feel neglected. Nathaniel and Ivanna were home alone most of the time so they've learned to become independent while also supporting each other. Being raised by good parents, the siblings admired and looked up to them and aspired to be successful and good people to make their parents proud.
Nathaniel was born shy and quiet in nature and needed others who were more extroverted (like his father and younger sister) to introduce people to him. Growing up, he gained confidence after realizing that he can't hide in his shell forever as the fact that he had to give 'good image' for his parents, it put some pressure on him. Esteban gave him advice to just be himself and be good to others, and Nathaniel took his father's words to heart and applied it in his daily living.
Nathaniel didn't show any interest in the performing arts until he was accidentally scouted by a respected figure in the showbiz industry during late high school. He was discovered at a local park while preparing for a play, a place where Nathaniel could find a place to practice. Mr. Showbiz overheard him deliver some lines and became curious and watched. He liked Nathaniel's performance and even gave him some tips and feedback. This happened a few times. During the day of the performance itself, Mr. Showbiz was present as a guest just so he could see how Nathaniel performed. Impressed by Nathaniel's acting, Mr. Showbiz immediately offered him small roles in some tv shows and movies he produced, and things just rolled from there. Because of his attractive appearance Nathaniel was also offered to model for various product and fashion shoots. Eventually Nathaniel became a well-known young actor and model and there's almost no one who didn't know his name. For a man with an introverted personality to begin with, it really took a lot of time for him to adjust to his sudden fame.
Notes
- Nathaniel was not the type to join school plays/activities but due to the highschool play being a class performance, he had no choice but to participate and somehow he got an important role through a draw-lots system.
- He actually enjoys acting. The more Nathaniel does it,the more it grew on him. Of course after work, he immediately finds himself some solitude to take a break from all the attention.
- During leisure, Nathaniel spends his time driving around with his motorbike and visiting places with water. He finds a quiet spot where there's grass and just relaxes there with earphones on.
- After his father's honorable discharge, Nathaniel accompanies Esteban for a fun long bike ride during the weekends, visiting provinces and trying out different delicacies.
- When he isn't travelling, Nathaniel either helps his mother do chores or he becomes Ivanna's 'canvas' and has make-up tested on his face.
Notable Roles
These are just some of the characters Nathaniel played as.
DJ 8 (Cyril)
A popular, whitty radio DJ in a romantic comedy movie "Love Now on-Air". Apart from playing music and other requests during his segment, Cyril, otherwise known as 'DJ 8' takes calls from his listeners and gives them advice, usually on romance. One of his faithful listeners is the main character hoping to find advice on love. Outside of work, Cyril is a very ordinary guy with nothing really worth mentioning appearance-wise. Although his story isn't the main focus of the movie, Cyril finds himself in an unusual romantic situation of his own, something which he can't find answers to despite romance being his 'forte'.
One of Nathaniel's earlier movies. It was his first time to dye his hair. Nathaniel enjoyed playing as Cyril because the character was lovable.
Bad Guy
An antagonist who calls himself 'Bad Guy' in a science fiction action movie. He has great knowledge of technology and is also very fascinated with the human body. His goal is to be able to create something that can make 'perfect human beings'. Bad Guy talks loud and he does some body gestures to emphasize his points. He loves being the center of attention. Baseless rumors say that Bad Guy is a cyborg himself, while others claim that too much radiation exposure affected his mental state. His favorite color is orange and his primary hobby is collecting weird-patterned socks.
This was Nathaniel's big break. His recognition as an actor soared with his role in the movie as he got more offers to participate in other projects.
Cpt. Garcia
*temporary picture/old art* A captain of the armed forces in another science fiction action movie. One of the soldiers tasked to kill a group of monsters of alien origin. He and his troops were working to fulfill their mission until a certain event that secluded him and four of his men along with a few civilians (including the main characters) they rescued. Cut-off from everyone else, stuck with inexperienced fighters and only armed with very limited tools, Cpt. Garcia has to find a way to get back to base and bring everyone to safety while trying to have minimum to no engagement with the monsters.
For Cpt. Garcia, Nathaniel had to undergo a strict diet just so he can have the build/muscle for the character. Nathaniel also approached his father for advice on how to play as a soldier properly, which greatly helped in his role.
