Character Details
Full Name: Nate Dayes
Age: 49
Place of Birth: New Winchester
Gender: Male
Appearance: Nate is a tall man, even in middle age, he still stands tall among men in their prime. Though not the biggest man muscle wise, he seems to possess another strength and can come across very intimidating. His brown eyes can penetrate, silence or even sooth someone. Nate has short buzz-cut brown hair and a slight layer of stubble. He has a small scar above the left eye, where he was clobbered (see history).
Person Used for avatar/sig: Denzel Washington
Flaws: Nate's a very moral man, his persona is founded on trying to do the right thing, and he hardly ever strays from this. This has proved quite troublesome in the past, his morals drawing him out of logical thinking to just try do the right thing. (See history)
Brief History: Nate has always been part of NW. His parents moved up from New Orleans when they were in their twenties, and were very strict christians. His father joined the police force and the family settled in nicely. It was alot more peaceful and safer for the young Nate to grow old, or so his parents thought.
The walk home from school wasn't very long, it took about 10 minutes at a steady quick pace. Nate liked this walk anyway, taking him past the fields and the small creek.
However today things were different. Up ahead he recognised one of the lower years cowering down to 3 other boys, 2 of whom were in his year, the other he'd never seen before.
It was blatent that they were taunting him, though from what Nate saw it was only verbal. He didn't feel like interfering, but he had to pass by. He tried not to look, but his curiousity caused him to glance down. The younger boy looked up at him with tears in his eyes, pleading silently for aid. Nate couldn't do anything. He knew he'd be torn apart by the bullies so instead he continued on down the road.
A few days after, to Nate's horror, he discovered that the younger boy in question was beaten very badly, and admitted to hospital. He also discovered that he was only 12 years old, and the third bully, the one he hadn't seen before was 16. His heart bled for the boy, and he cursed himself for not helping. (Which is where his 'flaw' stems from originally)
From that day on he took the burden of guilt on his back, trying to redeem himself for his own conscience.
Once again on the road home, he spotted the same trio approching another boy up ahead. This time he knew the victim in question as a Jacob Silvers. He managed to over hear some of what was said, picking up on 'money' and 'die'. This time he would do something, even if it meant he'd get the beating of his life.
Nate sped up slightly and joined Jacob. The unknown bully smirked and said something swarmy to the other two, whom cackled in approval. Without thinking, Nate struck out, as hard as he could catching the boy square in the nose. It cracked and blood burst across the boys face as he tumbled backwards, wailing like an infant. One of the other boys looked as though they would too cry in fright, the other turned tail and ran through the fields.
Nate shook like a leaf as he tried to explain what just happened to Jacob who, too, looked a little afraid of Dayes.
Ever since that day Nate has had problems with his heavy conscience. Where better to do good than join the police force?
So that's what he did, leaving school at 19 and joining the PD, expecting excitement and enforcement of what's right.
It never came, working his way up the ranks on petty crimes and misdemenours.
And so it continued, his mother died when he was 37, and she was taken back to New Orleans to be burried next to her family. His father couldn't stay in NW without her, so he moved back to the coast and stayed with relatives, before passing away himself two years later.
Now Sheriff Dayes lives alone in a small house, quite content with his simple life.
