[ NAME ] Nathan (Nate) Drake

[ PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION ] Mr. Fanservice. 39 y.o. 6'1", tan, brown hair and blue eyes. Very physically fit from a lifetime of climbing mountains and buildings, scarred from a lifetime of falling off of said mountains and buildings (also, scarred from multiple bullet grazings). Rarely clean-shaven, crooked smiles abound.

[ SOUND ] American, no distinctive regional accent. Traveled a lot as a kid and picked up fluency in other languages. Voiced by Nolan North.

[ DEMEANOR ] Genuinely easygoing, non-threatening, engaging, firm in his opinions and a little arrogant about his knowledge of history. Self-identifies as a smartass. Somehow manages to be the luckiest motherfucker alive for everything he recklessly gets into, but retains an intense, childlike curiosity about new discoveries. Massive adrenaline junkie. Anti-hero do-gooder in the extreme, frequently flouting the law and archaeological protocol while simultaneously self-sacrificing for others he may not even know well. Will literally lose all of his chill if you harm his friends. Distractable, stubborn, the textbook definition of "leaps before looking." Talks with his hands, like, a lot.

[ ABILITIES ] Professional thief and treasure hunter who has been in and out of various prisons more times than you can shake a stick at. Mad parkour skills, rock climbing skills, and a bare-knuckle brawler with a fair handle on an extensive variety of firearms. Career criminal with a history of impulsive pick-pocketing - a brief flirtation with stage magic in his youth lends itself well to his excellent sleight-of-hand. Has inscrutably good luck, to a nigh-unbelievable extent.

Nate's greatest talents are taking a beating and his inability to keep from making terrible puns at inopportune times. Fluent in Spanish, Latin, and Morse Code with a fair knowledge of Tibetan, Indonesian, Greek, Enochian and Mongolian script. Passing familiarity in Portuguese and Italian. Otherwise, a totally normal human being who happens to be really good at drawing and keeping notes, as he carries a sketchbook with him everywhere. More than anything Nate is an adaptable but regular guy, quick to evolve to drastic changes in situations as they occur.
