ăgeorge sear & trans maleăâž beaumont, nathaniel, the senior radcliffe studentâs records show that he is a capricorn and 22 years old. he is studying mathematics, living in gorham and can be sociable, dedicated, insincere & temperamental. when i see him. i am reminded of smoke drifting off a bonfire, hair still wet after a shower & running shoes with the treads worn off.  â˝ădrew & 22 & est & he/him.ă
trivia.
plays on radcliffeâs handball team - but will never actually tell you that, instead claiming to be a member of some other, even more obscure team. has misdirected people that express interest in going to one of his games and is generally an ass about it.
will answer to any version of his name - nate, nat, nathan, than, neil - heâs heard every nickname in the book and so long is youâre obviously talking to him, he wonât ignore you outright. unless heâs in a sour mood and then itâs nathaniel or bust.
splits his time outside of class & practice in three equal parts for sleeping, studying and socializing aka partying. everything else is rushed to fit into five minute periods between the aforementioned activities.
nathaniel didnât inherit his motherâs ability to destroy someone without ever sounding anything less than sweet, or even his fatherâs stony silence. heâs a storm hidden a sunny disposition, ready to swap from the amicable friend to a snarky attacker at a momentâs notice. heâll make disparaging comments, aiming for any sign of weakness and letting loose --- most of the time, he comes around later and apologizes but the damage is already done. heâs still learning to hold his tongue, to ask questions first and act second.
generally someone that tries to do good by others --- heâll give you the last beer at a party, heâll walk you back to your dorm when youâre stumbling, heâll even help you work out the math for your assignment --- but not always, there are times where heâs like âfuck i want this beer thoâ or âi donât have time to help youâ, because at the end of the day, heâs still his first priority.
lies about little things, not usually for malicious reasons but just because the truth might take longer to explain. will tell you a color is his favourite to skip the argument over the fact that he doesnât have one. tries to avoid unnecessary confrontation and will lie about things to do it if he thinks he can get away with it.
born january 19th.Â
a fan of coca-cola and doesnât want to hear about how bad the sugar is for him. like fruit-flavoured chocolates. food sins galore, honestly.Â
backstory.
the beaumont family is picture perfect in the same way that a green lawn is --- beautiful and lush until you look closer and realize that itâs all astro-turf. with a father whose job was described only as âspecial opsâ and a mother who worked as a high-end event planner, nathaniel should never have had to want for anything. except he did, quietly begging to trade pageants for sports --- a trophy of one kind morphing into one of another kind.
his mother eventually relented with a frown, displeased with her childâs lack of desire to follow in her footsteps but trying to support him regardless. this support continued even when he came out and began transitioning, sparkling eyes daring anyone to make a snide comment with an expression that promised swift correction. his father was less direct in his support but nathaniel could see it in the way that his eyes crinkled when his family made even a slightly untoward comment.
and for all of the support, for all of the wins that his high school teams managed, nathaniel found himself with a single scholarship offer for a sport that he had only ever played in a rec league. handball wasnât a sport that had been meant to be his future, despite the recruiterâs insistence that his talent meant that he could be a major player in riving the sport stateside. despite a general disinterest in the game, he accepted the offer and made his way to radcliffe, on the condition that his face wouldnât be on any promotional material around campus. ( online has always been fair game however )
connections.
tutor. listen i read a book with college athletes once where they had mandatory peer tutoring that they had to participate in and i just think thatâs fun. nathaniel does well in all of his core classes, but struggles with all the gen ed courses that he put off doing until now - so maybe your character is stuck helping him through one of those. results may vary.
roommate / housemates. fellow gorham residents, i beg of u, give me some fun dynamics : positive, negative, neutral. would love some friends, or someone that is tired of nathaniel stumbling in and making a ruckus at 3 in the morning on weeknights or the many people who are like âstop leaving your jersey everywhere BEAUMONTâ.
gym buddies. just people who spot each other or who run on treadmills next to each other - they donât necessarily have to talk although if they did, iâm sure that nathaniel can offer up so controversial takes on sports for them to dissect over protein shakes / smoothies / whatever.
exes. nathaniel .... not necessarily a great boyfriend b/c he doesnât want to commit to anyone like that and probably has ended a tonne of relationships b/c he was becoming too comfortable in them. hook-ups / ex-fwbs / summer flings are also all possibilities, as are currently flings/etc.Â
