Combat Martial Arts and Brawl taken together mean that your unarmed attacks count as armed attacks (thus no AoO and you can use them to make AoOs), do lethal damage if you choose to, and do 1d6+Str mod damage.

Height: 5'11" Weight: 160

Age: 26
Description:
For better or for worse, Nathan looks pretty much exactly like someone reading his resume would expect: thin and frail of build and a face whose most noteworthy feature is the glasses. And there's nothing special about the glasses. His reedy stature, intense, beady stare and his tendency to move jerkily, in quick bursts punctuated by moments of stillness, have earned him the moniker 'weaselboy' at MIT. He keeps his light brown hair cut very short, so he doesn't have to waste time keeping it combed.

Background
Nathaniel was born to lower-middle class parents in Scranton, Pennsylvania. His father a blue-collar construction worker and his mother splitting her days between homemaking and a part time job selling perfume at the local Macy's. He was a problem child, who's acute intellect was matched only by his disrespect for authority figures. While at first he earned easy A's, by the time he was in 6th grade his marks began to falter as his contempt for the school and those in it hampered his motivation. It isolated him socially as well, and he spent two miserable years making those around him miserable along with him.
In 8th Grade, a teacher finally had the patience to form a relationship with him, and realized what was really going on. A battery of tests followed. The another. He was quickly enrolled in a private high school that catered to 'gifted' students. There, in that environment, his interest in education was rekindled and he burned brightly. By the time he graduated from high school, MIT was sending first letters and brochures, and finally actual representatives to try to woo him. He did go there immediately after finishing high school.
At MIT he gained the reputation of being brilliant, but kind of an ass. Of course, that description applied to a great many students, and some of the faculty as well. For Nathan it was like coming home. During this time he became estranged from his parents, with both of them feeling that he looked down on them (not altogether unreasonably) and he feeling that they were too needy and intrusive. His closest family tie was his younger sister, who was smart enough for him to respect, but much more social and friendly. She helped him immensely with the problems of the heart, which were not rational and he had a hard time with.
Before Nathan even left MIT he was recruited by DARPA to help with several new Defense Department projects, most of them very 'think-tanky' and implausible. However, they got Nathan embarked in the realm of largely theoretical sciences like quantum physics and chaos theory, and trying to make practical applications for them. In particular, a project and paper revolving around quantum entanglement and its potential applications in probing 'parallel universes,' attracted attention from an unexpected source...

Background
Being born in a mid-west small town left him in a particular lifestyle expectancy ... hunting, farming, finish school, get married, have children ...
and die.
he caught on to the hunting and farming thing, but he also picked up canoeing in the local river as well as kayaking, bluff climbing and snorkel/scuba in the river.
he was a good lad and went to the military to serve his country ... and stayed there. He didn't want to die a fat farmer with 20 kids running all over the place, no matter how beautiful the woman coulda been.
his skills of scuba, rock climbing and hunting put him in the sneaky b s group among his fellows in boot camp, he was a natural for special forces. This is what he found as his true love...serving his country while putting his life at risk.
1 year of actual duty in SF left him with a mission, only one. but that one was so dark and off the books that he had to undergo "special counseling" to make sure the information never saw the light of day, even in his mind...how they did he did not know and did not care. The lack of nightmares was worth it. ooc: (hypnotism or ... psi ops?)
he is finally on furlough. been so for a month and still had 3 more weeks of it ... hunting in the Ozarks during deer season, trout fishing and rock climbing in the current River area and scuba at bull shoals lake, near Branson. Ah the good life .. like right now. he was suspended on a rope, ten feet below a rock outcropping 100 feet in the air, and 50 feet from the top...over looking the current river valley and the forested ridges all around him ... nothing but miles of ... nothing. Ah the good life.

Sorry for the delay, folks. Getting myself caught up after a bit of a hectic week.
Doing inspections now and will be starting the IC today (character sheet corrections can be made after the IC starts and won't affect your status in the game).
