Name: Nathan “Nate” Flynn

Age: 23

Race: Human.

Dossier: Spacer playboy extraordinaire. Heir, socialite, party animal, underwear model, part-time “actor” (proudly an extra in a Blasto movie, in which he was credited as “human teen in awe #5”). Initially, he began to train and develop his biotic and combat skills aiming only for the fame – rumor has it, he had been in talks to produce and star his own reality show series. Claims to have dated Miranda Lawson in school, brags about a night of passion with this “smokin’ hot” Ardat-Yakshi psycho-killer named Morinth and hinted at a threesome with Aria T’Loak and “some journalist chick – Jessica something”. It is unknown when Nathan and Commander Shepard actually met, or how/why on Earth does Shepard put up with him, but is heavily implied that Shepard is the only reason Nathan is still alive: may or may not have something to do with rumors he had been spreading about Omega’s ruler – “a minor misunderstanding, which he could have handled, by the way” – he’d say, before changing the subject. Nathan is infatuated with Dr. Liara T’soni (much to her annoyance - and Shepard’s, especially if Liara is romanced), and will take every chance (even during battles) to hit on her.

Personality: Extremely vain and self-involved, slightly deluded. Prince Charming complex. Believes he is a star “since uterus, literally” – because of a supposed ultrasound of him that was featured in an ad for Exogeni. He’s not the brightest tool in the shed. A shameless flirt, some would say, a womanizer and kind of a jerk. A little bit of a scoundrel and douche-y at times, offensive even, even when it’s not intended. Most probably because of his vanity and self-absorption, there’s a “sensitivity chip” (so to speak) missing, even though he generally means well, the delivery is usually terrible, and he’d be completely oblivious to how it came across. Unhealthily obsessed with the asari (goes back to his teens, when his father took him to Sha’ira’s). Used to think Shepard was “overrated”, but has developed a great deal of admiration for the Commander and secretly wishes to be more like Shepard. A redemption coming-of-age story of sorts, the journey of a spoiled rotten brat becoming more of a man, more selfless and somewhat heroic even – without totally losing his edge - “because nice people are boring”.

Quote: ''“I look like... well, ME. My old man is rich as f*. I’m a great shoot, and I’m also a biotic. This hairline is entirely my own and my sperm count is off the charts. AND I’m friends with Shepard. What’s there not to like about me? Also: I’m great-looking. Have I mentioned that?”''

Party Banter:

- “How’s my hair?”

- “Don’t worry, Liara, I’ll protect you.” ''- “Liara! Over here, keep your head down! Feel my biceps.”''

''- “Liara, stay close. You can grab my waist, it’s okay.”''

- ''“My relationship with my biotic Barrier, for me, it’s like, I’m sharing with the rest of my body that same exquisite shade of blue that my eyes have. Only it glows gorgeous, and protects the goods. Know what I mean?”''

- ''“Liara, baby, don’t get me wrong, but do you have to make these sexy sounds when using your biotics? Kinda makes it hard for me when I’m trying not to get my head blown off.”''

(to Liara) ''–“You know, you don’t really HAVE to bend like that when taking cover. So now I know you’re just trying to mess with me.”''

(to Liara) –“Relax, it’s just my pistol.”

(after a battle, Liara not present) ''–“Dude, that was intense! Ja feel the rush? I’m so pumped! Don’t tell Liara, but I am strangely turned on right now, and for once it is not her fault.”''

- “Perimeter clear. (after a battle, Liara present): It’s okay, Liara, I understand how irresistible I must look to you right now, so I won’t stop you if you try to kiss me”. (Liara declines, he:) “I’ll just take my top off then for no good reason.” (Liara responds, never going to happen, he:) “No, it’s cool, not a huge fan of PDA’s myself, we’ll save it for later, right?” (Liara just sighs).

(Aboard the Normandy, cutscene with Liara) –“My kingdom for your heart, oh beautiful princess (*off of her look*) – ''“Not the romantic type, I see. Alright. How ‘bout you and I go glow blue together in my cabin?" (*Liara’s biotics flare up, he looks worried*) – “You’re glowing blue an awful lot, Liara, is this… (*grins*) Oh, wait, if I know your species, and believe me, I DO, this little biotic display of yours only means you’re aroused. Am I right? (*cuts to him being thrown against a wall far opposite from Liara’s quarters. He gets up:*) -“I think I’m in love.”''

(Aboard the Normandy, follow-up cutscene with Liara) – ''“When this is over, we should elope. I’ll take you someplace exotic on Earth… we could change our names, just for kicks. I’ll be Juan. No wait, I’m more of a Pablo, I think. And you’ll be… Liarita! C’mon, it’s cute!”'' *shiny smile*

Appearance: Masculine chiseled features, the bluest eyes, light brown/blondish thick hair, a healthy tan, ripped bod, very handsome. A young Matthew McConaughey in combat gear - something form-fitting like Miranda’s or Jacob’s Cerberus’s jumpsuit, with a few strategic-placed metal plating, meant less to protect, but mostly compliment his rather spectacular physique – designed by a powerful yet fashion-conscious Matriarch he’s slept with. Hates helmets, ("the face's the money"), and plus they clog the pores and flatten his hair. He would rather look dead than less attractive, it seems. His intensive beauty care is a constant source of jokes among the crew, one being that the reason he doesn’t need armor is due to the amount of hair product he uses, which should be enough to shield a small planet. Or that he might be actually hatching Rachni eggs under those perfect goldilocks, and none would be the wiser.

(On helmets: -“Ugly people die all the time, and you don’t even know they were ugly to begin with and you know why? They were wearing freakin’ helmets! Makes you think, doesn’t it…? )

What Nathan would say in these situations...

-When entering the plague zone, his reaction to the burning bodies.

''-“Whoa, dude! *sniffs* Hey, do you think they got sick BEFORE or AFTER they were burned?”''

When Shepard gets poisoned by the Batarian barman in Afterlife.

''-“Oh man, you are SO wasted! *laughs* That is awesome! You look exactly like me at Lindsay’s party last year, with the strippers and all that red san.. err.. I mean... Commander, you alright?"''

-When the squad see the pile of dead bodies on the Collector Ship

''-“Please don’t judge me... but I’m having another déjà vu of Lindsay’s party last year at Dark Star Lounge’s, like, the morning after, you know? Though we were all technically alive.”''

-When Grunt meets Wrex/Wreav for his Rite of Passage and the other squad member makes their comment about that he his hitting puberty

''-“Dude, I’m real sorry that your dad was a test tube and all, so I feel it’s my responsibility as another dude, to step up and take you to Sha’ira’s ,as soon as we get shore leave. My treat.”''

Spontaneous

''-“Bam! You’ve been deto-NATE’d!”''

-“WOO-HOO!" (in the cheesiest way possible he’d think was cool or charming.)

- “Courtesy of the Extermi-NATE-or!"

When under fire:

''- “Whoa! Watch the face, motherfucker”!''
