{Personal Information}

Personality:
Nate has been very well trained all his life, and has turned out very well. He is really everything a gentleman should be. Nathan is very social and loves a good ball or party, but isn't at all eccentric, possessing a modest side that others admire. Nathan is polite and charming, not one to argue with anyone but other men, a great listener and conversationalist.

He has a weakness in seeing almost everything from the point of view of the trained soldier that he is, and planning tactics accordingly. Nate possesses a somewhat spur-of-the-moment temper that can be set off at the most random things as long as the reaction is justified and strangely only has the courage to use it at other men, older or larger then he is. He wants to keep a good public face and never shows anger at women or children.

Nate is a bit of a flirt with the ladies, but never lets his desires and wants get the better of him. He's generally a very intelligent man, and loves to read and write. He keeps a journal that he updates every day. One of his best features is that he is kind and generous, going out of his way to help others.

Background:
Captain Nathan Hale was born June the sixth, 1755, the sixth of twelve siblings. His father owned a successful farm right out side of the city, and his mother never stopped preaching about 'counting your blessings' and about how her children should appreciated the luxuries that others were not as lucky to possess. Young Nathan took those lessons to heart, and that would be proved later in life.

As far as Nathan was concerned, he had a dream childhood. He was the middle child, surrounded by older siblings to torment and younger that looked up to him like a hero. He had a big house with acres of land to roam and it was all situated right outside of town, and if he ever got tired of farm life he'd spend the day in his beloved Coventry.

Nathan loved his homeland more then anything, the place that had been so generous and given his family such bounty, and he did his best to give thanks in his own way, by excelling his his school work. Nate was a brilliantly intelligent child, the most learned of his family. His teachers loved him, and it payed off when he was accepted into Yale college and graduated in the top thirteen highest ranked scholars.

When he graduated at age eighteen, his original intent was to become a Christian minister like the brother that he idled, Enoch. But, as was almost customed at the time, he spent the next year as a teacher at the Union Grammar school before he found his true calling.

In 1774, though not of age, Nathan Hale applied with the militia and was actively involved with the military organizations of the town. The military and fighting for independence inspired him and he excelled at what he did, prompting his superiors to promote Hale to the rank of Captain, as which he now resides.

Anything Else:
Sample RP Post:

Life at Versailles was utterly exhausting. Chris had thought her world at the Irish court was eccentric, but she now realized that Ireland was a retreat compared to the non-stop pace of France. It was fun, no doubt about that, but she had just never lived at such a hectic pace before, surrounded by hundreds of people, mostly royals, that she didn't even know the name of. The occasional break was a well-needed blessing

The library was perfect. It was a place of cool and open, away from the sticky heat and the hordes of people that randomly wandered the grounds on what seemed like a strict schedule. And, for the most part, where everybody for the sake of politeness minded their own business and she could just snuggled into an arm chair with a fat novel and get lost in a world history and adventure and far away lands. This was a little piece of heaven in an otherwise mental world.

Her dark hair bounced slightly in its bun as she scanned the shelves curiously, her green skirts scraping the ground slowly as she made her way down the aisle. She had been faithfully following a book of world and ancient mythology for the past week. Yesterday she had just reached Norse beliefs and wasn't about to give up now. But where was it? She could of sworn she put it back right here...She placed a pale finger to her lips as her eyes followed the path of book spines. Maybe it was the next row down?

She blindly turned a corner, eyes still solidly locked on the shelves. She would find this book, even if it meant being late on the job. Well, no. She wouldn't risk that. She continued to study the never ending maze of novels, determined to catch up where she had left off. Her blue eyes were serious and steady, paying attention to nothing else as she continued down the hall. She appeared almost trance like as she searched for the book that had caused her such frustration, she didn't even notice the young man just feet from her. Her pace quickened as her patience shortened and...oops.

She blinked as she bumped into something. Her eyes then widened in stunned horror as the realization that she was staring straight into the face of the Prince of France hit her. Oh! I'm so sorry highness! I did not see you there!" She said, her voice squeaking slightly. She had come here to read about Zeus and Isis and had practically mauled the heir to the throne. Ah, joy.
