Personality:
Nathan is a total player, and he's way proud of it, too. He'll go for any girl that'll just throw herself at him. He loves the opposite sex a little too much. It's probably unhealthy, but it get's him through this journey called life (cliche?).
As a natural-born player, he takes pride in the fact that no girl could ever get him to settle down. Well, that's not entirely true; it'll take one hell of a girl to get him to settle down. As for the girls he's into, he usually likes to flirt with the preppy blondes, and on occasion he's feeling those girls with tattoos. It's all very mood-based, like food. Nathan's the kind of guy who wakes up in the morning thinking, what am I in the mood for today?
Now, aside from his female-obsession, Nathan is a pretty fun guy. He likes pranks (who doesn't like pranks?) and Nerf Gun wars. He's the kind of guy who can have the butterflies turning your stomach at one point, and rolling on the floor laughing the next. Rejection isn't usually a problem for him, he can get over it pretty quickly.
History:
Nate lived in Rosewood for most of his life, until about the eighth grade when he moved to Tallahassee, Florida to live with his mom. That's where his transformation began; Nate wasn't always a 'player'. In fact, before he moved, he was a sweet kid who had hardly any friends. He would play on the playground alone with a pile of rocks which hw admittedly used to pretend were cows.
But Tallahassee changed his life. He didn't fit in at first, which he was used to. But then, people started to like that he was different, which made him fit in. People started talking like him, dressing like him, styling their hair like he did. But when everybody tries to be different, nobody is.
He developed a player-like state, where he would go to the club and pick up a girl (or two) and bring them home while his mom was working the nightshift at the hospital. It became a habit, and he brought the habit back to Rosewood with him. Now that he's living with his dad, who knows if he'll be able to keep the act up.
Other: His best friend is Aron Fritz, a scene kid who he grew up with here in Rosewood.
Secret: His friends dared him to do it- he didn't really want to. But after it happened, it damaged his perception of right & wrong. It was a typical night at the club, with the typical drunk girl. They all cheered him on from the sidelines as he used his charm to get her to agree to coming home with him. As expected, she agreed. But what was unexpected was that the next morning she confessed that she had been a virgin and didn't actually want to have sex with him. Nathan Ackard had just raped a girl.
