Nathan

Check out his Wiki page [here] for additional information!

General

Nathan Peppers is the main and most prominent character in my novel. He also serves as the narrator who tells each chapter from a first-person omniscient perspective. As the self-proclaimed leader of the other characters, he's the one who takes charge and often deals with the various problems everyone encounters. Most of the later Seasons' chapters start with him either beginning his day or sitting at the kitchen table before all the chaos happens and sweeps him off his feet into a new daily adventure.

Personality

In the earlier Seasons, Nathan is bold and adventurous, wanting to head out on adventures to discover new lands and places. He has all the traits of a protagonist which naturally makes him a strong leader. Unfortunately, due to the colorful cast of characters he always finds himself with, he often has trouble getting anyone to listen to him. While he can usually steer everyone down the right path, sometimes their antics force everyone to take a bit of a detour. It's also worth noting that he was obsessed with pie for a long time, mainly towards the end of Season 1 and the majority of Season 2.

In later Seasons, he serves more as a voice of reason and the main combatant towards the chaos that pops up chapter after chapter. All he really wants to do is live a simple life and enjoy the little things, but he's usually interrupted by the other characters and their loud, disruptive antics. This is especially true for Zack, who often targets and/or harasses him in a variety of ways. Despite everything, Nathan is very cunning and is more than capable of thwarting the schemes of others when he decides to put the effort in. After Sarah was introduced though, he found himself riding on her schemes instead of coming up with his own. He has very little tolerance for the less-than-intelligent antics of others and can often be portrayed as a bit of a buzzkill, walking into a room and putting a stop to the wild fun the other characters might be having. He's also one of the few characters that know the inner machinations of women, opting to back off when Sarah or Amber are having a bad day out of fear they might attack him. Sadly, he often ends up on the receiving end of verbal abuse anyway.

After Alex was introduced and became his best friend, he started acting a lot more wild and impulsive, almost as if having someone to hang out with was all he really needed to let go of all the worries and concerns he often struggled with. This may initially come off as being out of character for him, but in truth it's just him going back to the way he was in the beginning.

Appearance

Nathan has short, spiky brown hair that is often drawn as short hair with sticks in the official artwork. He wears black, rectangular glasses and has green eyes. His outfit consists of an orange t-shirt with yellow hems, blue shorts, and black shoes. For his redesign, he instead has short brown hair and usually wears an orange jacket or hoodie with a yellow undershirt and jeans. His favorite color is orange and most of what he owns is of the same color.

History

Nathan is my self-insert because when I was a young child I wanted to star in my own stories, comics, and drawings. He started off as simply being me, but over time as I aged and matured, he became his own character. Nowadays, I consider him separate to myself.

He was the main character for every single story I wrote and has been on countless adventures with countless friends over the years. Originally the leader of a crime-fighting team, he first led a group known as the "Natha Team" (for lack of anything better) consisting of Sarah, Zack, and various animal companions who all joined forces to stop a villain known as Mr. Kill. When Mr. Kill used dark forces to brainwash his team and turn them evil, he went off on his own to find a new group to lead. Years later, he found himself as the leader of the "Elite Team" which consisted of characters like Mike, Supe, Ponelope, Venom, Mr. Peeps, and assorted others. Together, they fought against a villain known as Mr. Destro who would send a variety of monsters after them. This story series went on for a while before a remake of The Rivals led to the same thing happening again; his team being turned against him. The Story began right after this and, after picking up a few new friends like Amber and FlamDawg, he quickly set off to put a stop to the villainy once more.

Lore-wise, he is directly connected to The Author, otherwise known as the almighty being who watches over and controls the universe they reside in. This is why he is able to narrate the novel from a first-person omniscient perspective, though he's not aware of the connection or the immense power he secretly possesses. In fact, while other characters have directly interacted with The Author, he has never once met him.
