-- nathan hayes [twenty four, local, drug dealer]

this is nate and i don't think that i can fully express to you how excited i am for this idiot.  nate is a mess.  he was raised in foster care.  when he was five his drunk father caused a car accident that killed him and nate's mother.  after that, nate and his younger sister [i'm going to call her maddie but she will actually be requested] were put into foster care.  maddie would have gotten adopted quickly, she was kind and sweet and loveable.  nate, on the other hand, was not.  he was the cause 90% of the time of them being sent back to group homes.  it took a toll on him and on maddie so when nate was fifteen and his sister was old enough that being around wasn't actually helping her, he took off.  maddie was adopted within two months and nate spent the next two years living pretty much on the streets, stealing to eat and making beds out of park benches.  eventually he met a friend who introduced him to a friend and yadda yadda and he started dealing drugs.  and man was he brilliant at it.  he went from petty street dealer to a lieutenant in the local drug ring in pretty record time and the only reason he hasn't risen higher than that by now is he doesn't have any interest to.  now at age twenty four he lives in an impressive apartment, dresses well, eats better, and has pretty much made a good name for himself.  he is charming and personable, never gets close to anyone, and has more 'friends' than a normal person would know what to do with.  he views sex as currency or a drug to be abused, abuses actual drugs regularly, and basically makes his way through life ignoring all the things about him that make him hate his reflection.  until, of course, maddie finds him and blows all that up in smoke.  for the first time someone he loves will look at him with disgust in their eyes and that will destroy him.  it sends him, after a short time, to the roof of a tall building in the city where the plan is to take a trip to the ground floor sans elevator.  enter suicide pact plot that the lovely britta will be requesting soon.

so there you go.  he's a mess.  he needs a large group of friends who he sells drugs to and parties with.  he's no one's best friend, no one calls him when they need help or advice.  he's the party friend, the one who can get you through finals or into that one club.  he needs enemies.  he's a charming asshole, you can find a reason to hate him.  and he needs to sleep with literally anybody at all.  boys, girls, both at once.  whatever.  do it.
