Name: Nathan Pacelttob and Byron Race: Human/Symbiote pair. Age: 17 Profession: Barista Residence: Nathan lives in a flat above his father's coffee shop with his father and little sister. Appearances: Nathan stands at 6'2", gangly and often slouching. He is not unattractive, but someone you would glance over simply because of his mannerism. He does not stand out of a crowd, or a small group for that matter. Often dressing in basic colors and clothing, simply for comfort rather than style.
His Symbiote, Byron, is connected to Nathan's nervous system. He takes a cyan blue hue, ranging in size from covering Nathan's body to branching off when using it's full magical power. It will often rest out of sight underneath Nathan's clothes, and can speak in a humming tone that reminds one of water down a stream if it so desires.
Personalities: Nathan is tentative, self conscious, and very jittery. The type of guy who would jump at his own shadow, and then attack that shadow. He meets strangers with a nervous smile, and very rarely makes eye contact. With anyone. He takes little pride in his ability as a witch, feeling that he's the least of the bunch whether this be so or not. He prefers quiet and seclusion over night life or parties. Nathan has an odd habit of talking to himself, sometimes dropping into wordless mumbles if others are around to hear it.
Byron is not unlike Nathan, other than the fact that he is a tad more outspoken. He often chooses indirect contact through speaking to Nathan to speak to someone else, if he desires to do so at all. He cannot live or exist without Nathan, and removing him from the boy would kill him. It is a true Symbiotic relationship. Byron is very ho-hum and brooding. Despite his rather hum drum way of life, however, he truly cares about his host. Whether this stems from some form of love or simply because they cannot survive without one another, is up to the imagination.
Abilities: Byron is a symbiote creature from the void. As the name might suggest, he cannot exist without Nathan, his host, and vice versa. Byron has simply become a part of Nathan, bonded to his nervous system. When in a dangerous situation, Byron covers his host completely in a cyan blue substance. This substance is Byron's "body", as it were. Byron's body is able to withstand forces such as gunfire of medium caliber, and swordplay. He also draws upon Nathan's magical reserves to make some use of magical attacks. These attacks often manifest themselves as blue fire in various shapes and sizes. Additionally, Nathan can use Byron's body by extending and retracting it for various sizes and uses. Be it flinging a tendril acrossed the room to grab a soda can, or wrapping itself around a living being's throat.
History: (Brief, may be extended upon later) At ten years old, Nathan was diagnosed with Leukemia. His parents, being witches, had no interest in the medicinal treatments of the modern world. They did, however, know their son would die if they did nothing. The two quickly inacted a ritual to open their world to the void, known by many names. The netherrealm, oblivion, purgatory, take your pick. They pleaded with anything that would hear them to save their first born. As Nathan only grew worse, and they recieved no reply, they began to lose heart. The boy grew pale and deathly. Eventually a creature from the void could stand the mother's lamenting no longer. A symbiote spawned a small portion of herself and sent it through to bond with the boy. Usually the relationship between these creatures and an unlucky human is rather one sided. The two, however, bonded perfectly and grew up together. Nathan was spared his cancer's effect, and had gained a new part of him. This stunted his growth as a witch, yet gave him abilities that his symbiote offered. A few years later his mother died in childbirth with her second, leaving Nathan and his father behind. The three live a healthy and content life in coffee springs, running a coffee shop.
