Biography in the read more! TW: Mentions of drugs, death, alcohol addiction.

Born and raised in the South Hills of Wilmington, NC, Nathan was the oldest out of five children to a single Italian-American mother. Despite being a step-sibling to the younger kids, Nathan was basically like another parent to them. His mother worked two jobs: by morning, she worked as a receptionist at the vet’s office and by night, she did housekeeping at a local motel. Even working the two jobs, Nathan saw the struggle his mother had and decided at a young age to help her in every way he could. He made sure the other kids were fed, cleaned, taken care of, and even tried his best to keep the house looking clean and orderly. At least his mom never had to worry about the 3 bedroom trailer they called home being a disaster if nothing else. When Nathan was 8 months old, his biological father was killed in a car crash. That was how his mother ended up in North Carolina all the way from Northern Italy: to escape the memories of her great love after his death and to be with her grandmother again. His mother met Todd Andrews through the vet’s office and found out love gives second chances. They got married quickly after meeting and thought life was going to be picture perfect. Unfortunately though… Nathan’s step-father, Todd, was a rotating part of his life. He would be with the family, be a semi-decent dad for a few months, disappear for weeks, then repeat. It wasn’t until Nathan was around age 14 that he finally figured out that his step-father was an alcoholic and drug-addict. Nathan’s mother tried to make it work for years until Todd missed the birth of the youngest Andrews kid. His mom called it quits then and filed for divorce. Nathan stepped up and started working odd jobs for cash, giving the money to his mother for bills. Or sometimes he even just went ahead and purchased groceries with the money. Nathan somehow managed to barely make it through school and earned his high school diploma. Throughout high school, he worked as a bag boy part time at the local supermarket. It was once he graduated that Nathan found a full time job at the local coffee shop in Midtown Wilmington. He found using his good looks, sense of humor, and charming personality led to some good tips on the busy days. As his younger siblings got older, Nathan started saving some of his money for himself instead and finally purchased himself a car at age 21 to get him from point A to point B. Next, the young adult secured a small studio apartment in South Hills, nearby if his mother or siblings needed him. After moving out, Nathan discovered his love for weed. Despite the plant being a drug and illegal still in North Carolina, Nathan loved getting high. However, the male kept the smoking a secret from his mother for fear of being labeled a drug addict or something in that sense. The male just lived his life: working at the coffee shop, trying his best to be a good son and brother, and loving all those that crossed his path.

OOC: I do have a "canon" ship on this blog in the form of Nuriel Flame + Arlyn Icia. They've always been together since I created them and forever will be no matter what verse they're in.

If not romanced when RPing within verses, the following muses may possibly get together with each other as background romantic pairings:

Rafaele Baptiste + Lukas Usbeorn

Olivia Grimaldi + Nathan Richter

Note that this is highly dependent on the RP situation and how involved the above muses are in each scenario and/or verse. XD

Have you ever gotten everything you ever wanted?

i like how leverage throws in random details that are never elaborated on. hardison gets himself a front row seat at the oscars each year, but we only see that in a single throwaway flashback. parker broke a guy's fingers for touching her and it wasn't even a plot point, it was just one in a series of memories of stabbings and so forth. eliot continually knows extremely specific information which implies some extremely specific scenarios he's been in. the more we find out about sophie's backstory, the more questions it raises about what the hell is wrong with her. and the more we find out about nate's backstory, the more questions it raises about what the hell is wrong with him.

I just gotta say, I love the amount of pet names Scott uses for Nathan in your comics it's so wholesome 😊💕💕

I guess that's my one headcanon for them! Scott only uses pet names for his baby bean!

Dear Marni, I am so sorry, can you forgive me for this?

The King's Men's plot structure is genius.

TKM has been critized a lot for not following the conventional plot structure, because it doesnt end inmediatly at the resolution of the climax, like they taught us in class. But it actually has a reason behind it and it think that is what makes AFTG unique and Nora Sakavic an amazing writer. I'll explain.

So, we all know AFTG has a lot of chess metaphors, however i think it doesnt contain the metaphors, it is the metaphor. Each character represents a piece of the board (Riko king, Kevin queen, Neil pawn, Andrew knight, etc) and exy is the chess, but but but, a chess game not only involves the pieces, the game cannot exist without someone playing, the chess masters (which would be Kengo, Ichiriu, Nathan and all the mafia stuff).

So, AFTG is divided into two plots happening at the same time: what happens on the chess board (exy season) and what happens outside it (the mafia mess).

Of couse, the climax has to be about the outside out, because who cares which one of pieces move in which way if the players are pointing guns at eachother under the board? The guns are more more important. So who cares? The pieces on the board care, the ones that are being played with. And who is the narrator? The character that represents the pawn, the less important figure of the entire room.

Yeah, the 'outside of the board' plot is over half way into the book, but it doesnt matter because that happens outside the board, the chess game has not ended yet. The pawn cannot go back to rest in the box until the game is over, until the king dies. The book cannot be over until the chess game our protagonist is a piece of ends. The books have to end with the king's (Riko) death and that is exactly what happens.

If this isnt excellent writing and one of the best examples of know the rules so you can break them, i dont what is.

re-watching the second episode of leverage and wondering, for the first time, how much of a revelation nathan ford's crusade was for eliot spencer.

did he have any plan, before then? any path forward that brought him closer to where he wanted to be? or was he stuck in a holding pattern, figuring that retrieval work for rich people who weren't damien moreau was as close to becoming a better man as he could ever reach?

how much did it mean to him, do you think, to be given the opportunity to do some good in the world again?

obviously he's of the opinion he'll never be redeemed, and he's not wrong, per se. but I'm suddenly curious about the internal journey there, for him, in the early days. do you think it was like a gentle dawn finally breaking? do you think it was a relief? or was it terrifying? realizing that he could actually do better, that what he chose to do next actually mattered?

no wonder eliot never abandoned nathan ford, despite all possible provocation. how could he ever betray or desert the man who gave him a hand up out of the darkness, who showed him there was still a path forward?

New Muses: Olivia & Nathan

OOC: In the case that Araceli is killed off or stripped of her position (which will probably be many cases), I’ve created tertiary OCs that may potentially fill her spot. Their bios (listed below) are also on the NPC/minor muses page!

Name: Olivia Grimaldi

Olivia works at the Ilma Region’s castle assisting with administrative matters. She grew up in a family of magic users, particularly working with earth magic, and she also has those same powers. Olivia sometimes wishes she could try using other forms of magic, but she lacks the talent or gift for any of them. A major reason she ended up working at the Ilma Region’s castle was to avoid getting into any arranged marriages, unlike her older sisters. 

As she and Nathan ended up training under similar mentors and have duties leaning toward administrative matters, both of them ended up working together frequently.

She can also play the harp and piano. She dances pretty well too.

Appearance: Olive skin, reddish-brown hair, dark brown eyes, petite build, wears a lot of dark blue and dark green, but also sometimes wears dark purple or brown.

Name: Nathan Richter

Nathan works at the Ilma Region’s castle assisting with overseeing day to day duties of the castle servants. He was raised in a huntsman family and was nearly expected to do the same. However, he got away with having more administrative duties later on after the rest of his family realized that he didn’t have the skill for hunting - something that Nathan is forever grateful for them realizing sooner than later. Despite his lack of talent in hunting he’s still capable of some self-defense and making traps.

As he and Olivia ended up training under similar mentors and have duties leaning toward administrative matters, both of them ended up working together frequently.

Nathan can play the oboe and saxophone, and has some skill in dancing.

Appearance: Olive skin, thin glasses, grey eyes, lean build, wears dark blue and charcoal grey, but sometimes also wears light violet clothing.
