Nathan Hong's Questionnaire

Nathan lives in Seattle currently, mainly due to the fact that it was the closest major city to his hometown and he was quite poor when he left home. Nathan did so because the relentless persecution he faced while in his hometown. Nowadays, Nathan feels quite a home in Seattle, and hasn't bothered to move (mainly due to already having a decent job there).

Nathan currently has recently rented a small apartment that although cramped, he doesn't mind. The furniture there mainly consists of what Nathan managed to scavenge and buy at discounted prices. As such, there are quite a few things missing that he still needs to obtain, such as a good bed (his is a bit to stiff for him). He did spend a large sum (to him) to obtain a few paintings since he felt the walls were a bit too bland. He also bought a couch that is a bit too big to comfortably fit in the apartment. As such, he frequently needs to climb over it.

Nathan's main source of income is performing 'make overs' for one rich client, once (just because of the huge sum of money gained).

Otherwise though, a lot of his income comes from previous investments he made that have mostly managed to keep him afloat. He also works two part-time jobs as a tutor and a delivery driver (he has a Mitsubishi Mirage). His main job is as a grocery store manager which he recently got promoted to due to his good work ethic (and excellent intellect).

Nathan is a pretty frugal person, though he allows himself to indulge himself once a month (around before a Contract) just in case he dies. During those days, he usually goes over Offr and purchases anything he always really wanted. Such purchases include a high-end laptop, way too much pizza as well as a massage chair.

Nathan wishes to create a functioning society where the supernatural and the normal can co-exist without issues. After witnessing the insane damage supernatural beings can inflict on society as well as facing persecution before in his life, he has decided that he will work towards achieving this dream world, despite what risks it may push onto his person. 

This, as you can guess, has given Nathan a less-than-stellar opinion of the Sons of Salem.

Nathan has already killed people for less, mainly saving someone as well as power, but those people were pure evil in his eyes already. When the chips are down though, Nathan likely will kill someone innocent to achieve this goal, but he will be guilt-ridden for a long time.

Nathan is fully prepared to risk his life for this goal, but if he does face certain death while working towards his goal, he is honestly scared that his conviction is not enough.

The most defining event of Nathan's life before The Contract would probably be his birth. Other than that though, it would likely be his actions leading up to his downfall. Born a prodigy intellectually and gifted physically, he coasted off his innate gift and focused his interests into leaning into athletic pursuits. This success made him develop a superiority complex and he started to treat people less.

This lasted until he with his superior attitude and preference towards using physical violence to get his way gradually hurt a great amount of people including a very petty someone who was close to Nathan that slowly and meticulously socially destroyed Nathan and as well as the social life many people he cared about. This eventually caused his family to split apart.

What Nathan faced from those days forward was relentless persecution and torment until he couldn't stand it anymore and dropped out of school and moved to a different city.

He has now recovered mostly from this sequence of events and is working to becoming a better person.

Nathan has six siblings. Of them, the closest to his age is his sister, Samantha. Samantha is a very devoted to her studies and generally serious most of the time. She has a semi-positive attitude towards Nathan and is currently studying to become a neurologist. Nathan is very fond of her.

Nathan's dad was a government official who had several scandals regarding him either fabricated or dug out (all led by the efforts of one very petty person). He was divorced and later married to an older lady who currently financially supports him. Nathan's dad has a generally negative opinion of Nathan which Nathan reciprocates.

Nathan's mom is a basketball player turned coach who is also currently divorced. She is the person who Nathan keeps the closest contact with as of now and they meet about once every two months. Nathan still tries to maintain a certain distance from her now, due to his Contract job. She is fairly fond of Nathan and Nathan is very fond of her.

Nathan's childhood was quite a breeze for him. As he was quite a prodigy intellectually, he let his innate talent coast him by while he instead spent his free time with athletic hobbies, many of which he became quite good at. His dad was a government official and his mom is a basketball coach. His dad was a very hands-off man, spending a lot of his time at his job. Nathan was raised by his mom, who was already burdened by many other children. Nathan also considers that he is partially raised by his older siblings, many of whom were already nearly adults when he was born.

Nathan did attend school and enjoyed using physical violence to get what he wants. Soon after, he managed to gather a posse around him who were quite disliked by many of his peers. He usually stood out among his school for being someone who would get into trouble quite frequently.

Nathan has not ever been in love. Sure, he had crushes here and there, but those he mostly kept to himself. Instead of pursuing love, he instead preferred mountain climbing with his buddies or scuba diving during the summer. The truth with why he hasn't really pursued anything really is both due to how socially isolated he is now as well as the fact that Nathan is too afraid to build a meaningful relationship that could ruin. Perhaps Nathan will consider getting a partner after his life isn't totally at risk every single month and he completes his ultimate goal. He hopes that will happen.

"Ehm, it's gotta be being backstabbed. Having someone who you trust try to tear you apart really stings. Especially if I deserve it... I don't want to ever be a person who could cause another, perhaps someone I even cared about, to decide that hurting me would be the best course of action. I fear myself devolving into an animal that would bite any hand."

"Going completely crazy would definitely be another one of the fears that keeps me awake at night. I should probably sleep more. Loosing yourself, being distorted into what can be seen as a mockery of what you once were and unable to return to- well myself, it's something I don't thinking about. Doubly so that in this line of work, it's so much more possible. The risk is worth it though."

"Being unemployed would really suck. I don't want to seem useless and as someone who doesn't contribute to society, despite how much cash I might already have on hand. I probably wouldn't willingly go unemployed if I can help it."

"Owls also kinda creep me out. It's just something about them I can't tell... They feel like they are always watching you, y'know?"

                                                                "Dying. Dying is bad. Also being trapped. Death is just the worst entrapment. Don't die."

"The glasses that my older brother bought me for my birthday. Ever since I've been driven apart from my family, I've been really treasuring everything I have from them. Currently I only got the glasses and... yeah that's it. I make sure never to bring it to any of the Contracts either. It's way too risky y'know? It's a little crooked though. I gotta fix that soon."

"I also love my Mitsubishi Mirage too. Named it even, but it's something way too embarrassing for me to ever say it out loud. For me, it kinda represents when the shitty period of my life really turned out for the better. When I finally got enough cash to make that purchase was a real triumphant moment. Don't like the gas prices though."

"Oh yeah, can't forget the ring. It's supposedly magic, but I've really gotten to use it yet. It's kinda prickly too, but hey, it represents the effort I've had put towards trying to save someone. That's worth something. Beside it's magic!"

"I also just recently got an alien laser pen, also from a Contract where I managed to save someone. Huh, I guess karma pays. Haven gotten the chance to swing it around yet, but the 'pew pew' function should be fun."

                                                                               "The toaster. Toast tastes good, especially with jam."

"Dying from Contracts. Gotta be that."

"Aside from this supernatural sword of Damocles hanging above my neck though? My inability to cause change. I'm too weak to use force and the problem is too large for just one person to solve. I need a proper organization with determined and loyal help. Convincing others may be difficult though, though I'm sure there are like-minded individuals out there. Both mundane and supernatural cooperation is needed for what I want to be successful... I wonder if I can make help though?"

"My current plan with solving this? Well Contracts are an obvious answer. More power! I'll also get to grow my web of connections as well, which I should do more of... I should also spend more of my personal time towards unlocking more resources, both people and artifacts."

                                                   "Nathan. He's kind of stupid and annoying. He should also really eat tastier food."

"I wake up! Usually some, eh, twenty minutes after I want to. I shower and try to wake up. It doesn't work. Coffee is a must have for me, although I've trying to cut that out my life, I've been... Well unsuccessful would be an understatement. I get dressed, usually clothes that I, uh, hope are washed. I then make some breakfast, usually some leftovers I manage to cobble up. Rice is a love that I possess which I am not afraid to yell out to the world. I really wonder what the real good food tastes like though sometimes, stuff from like Michelin star restaurants or similar. I typically cook large amounts of food in batches to save time. I think that works well. While eating I always make some time to check the news and anything big that recently happen. I then do some reading, usually about mythology, found that it really helps when dealing with the supernatural. Finally with all that done, I check my investments then cycle to work. Hey! Gas prices are expensive..."

                                                          "I stare outside, into the city."

"Well I'd start with properly washing my clothes. Probably shouldn't just using rubbing alcohol for i- actually scratch that, I'll buy an actually good suit. One that fits be at least. I'd also need to get a haircut, it's been getting too long for my preference. I'd also be wearing my special glasses, I think they look good on me! Definitely be bringing a watch with me, it's a fashionable way to tell time. Although I guess I don't really need that anymore. Still something to Look Around with on me wouldn't hurt. Handkerchief for the fanciness too. Leather shoes that I got recently would also be worn. I'd also probably use some hair gel, just to stop the hair from obstructing my vision. It's at the point where I can't tie it up well but it still sucks. I'd also need to buy some dress pants... Man there is a lot I need to get. Oh, the prickly ring should also serve as something interesting to talk about, I'd need to spin a non-supernatural story 'bout it too. All of this would probably take me a day or two to finish. At least a morning."

                                "Wear whatever Nathan is wearing. Feels good to be able to coast off of other people's work."                                                    

".... I have not given that much thought."

"It's coming close ain't it though? I don't really any really close friends to celebrate it with though. Don't think my regional supervisor would be interested at least, ha. Maybe I'll go and visit my family for it, but I doubt most of 'em would want to see me. I guess I'll just have to celebrate with me, I and myself. I'll at least be able to buy myself a good cake now. Strawberry sounds good doesn't it? Otherwise, I'll likely just live it like any other normal day I guess, with the notable exception of making a wish. I can also maybe try to call any family members willing to pick up. I'll think they leave at least that much time open for me. I hope so. Talking about all this is making me sad man, I'm gonna get some ice-cream.

"I don't know. It's never really up to me. Maybe this year will be different."

"Being a shitty person. It's been what has caused a lot of the turmoil I've experienced up to this point of my life. Now I don't think the response to what I did would warrant what eventually happened, but sometimes in real life, Newton's Third Law isn't applicable. Having my life be split apart, with the ignition being how I was as a person is something real tough I that had to struggle to grapple with. It eventually got so bad that my already uprooted life caused me to move somewhere else. Here I am now! It's not what I always like to talk about but I think all self-improvement usually stems from failures. You gotta learn. I think I can be considered less of a stain on society now."

                                             "I've never have been given enough autonomy to really do anything I could consider to be a regret. In fact I wish for the day where I can enough of an impact to have a 'greatest regret'."

"Digging even more personal eh? From what I can gather, the harbingers have some sort of inherit potential unlocked. Not mine though apparently, it seems my reflection is what is special and bubbling with latent capabilities. I'll be the first to admit that it kind of stings though, but to be fair, I'm the only who can admit that it stings for me. Anyhow, back on track, my reflection seems to be conscious. Sapient. I'm still having trouble communicating with them, but it's been getting better over time and Contracts. I'm still grappling with having someone else always watching me though... The reflection's supernatural capabilities seems to allow it to mold and shape the realm of reflections and with directing this power with occult rituals, which are exceptionally influential in this realm, allows for effects that affects both realms. I'm still trying to learn more about this though. Might take some time for me to get a clear, pun not intended, picture."

                                     "Aww, I'm special. Might not be the best thing though. I guess I'll see."

"I've never really sat down and spent time to really think about spirituality. I mean, I guess I usually more preoccupied with more worldly problems and just did what I felt was right. There is no real code I follow. I don't think there is an inherit sacred meaning or purpose to life or anything like that if that's what you're looking for? Even if there was one, the world already is too confusing of a place so I doubt that would make any sense either to my meager mortal human brain at least."

"I was raised in a non-religious household and I never really got too much exposure to any religions. I guess my grandma on my mother's side was Catholic but we never visited each other aside from some very rare occasions. At this point in my life, I've been going over lots of religious texts for research but I don't think the they have managed to convince me."

"I honestly believe that I should do what I thin is right. All of that philosophy isn't something I want to poke my head into while I'm still a murderer, despite how horrible the people I've killed are. I'm not too sure why I don't feel too disgusted of myself for killing either."

"Well, I already knew that things like vampires and ghouls were real and running around under the night sky but I've never really considered that there were so many of them roaming about. I suppose I have a bias, seeing that all these jobs contain at least some measure of supernatural influence in them. It's honestly astonishing to me though, seeing how quickly I've 'adapted' to this sort of life. When I first witnessed these strange creatures that I've only heard stories of, I was scared. I think there was a sense of disconnect when you see something through a video or photograph and it's an indescribable feeling though when you actually see these things in the flesh. I do think that the 'no pain, no gain' and 'nothing is free' idea that the Contract has fits into my worldview. I would've sooner believed that I'm in a coma dreaming all of this than accept the idea that I would get wonderful supernatural capabilities for free. Being realistic is good."

"I wonder if the Contract is what spawned all of these supernatural things in the first place though or if the world was always this strange."

"Lot's of Contractors I've been on missions with but, uh, here's the simplified gallery I suppose."

"There's Rhodes, seems to be a medic of sorts and was willing to save someone. Fairly good impression."

"Klaus is proficient in lockpicking, a useful skill and seems to be working towards becoming a ninja of sorts. Seems like a decent fellow. Working with him quite extensively these days."

"Colvin I also met in my first Contract. Was a little strange, throwing silver pens and all that, but was a helpful teammate. Shame he passed."

"Uh who else, right, Susan. She seemed to be academically gifted and knows how to piss people off and distract them. Great skill if you know how to not get shot."

"There's also Enteln, a brave fellow. Charged into a mob of enemies with guns, I think they're a good person. Not like they want to destroy humanity or anything."

"Harold is quite wealthy but still modest. Doesn't have that uptight attitude that I hate. Willing to share his wealth in these missions too. Working with him as a business partner has been a pleasure."

"Duke was helpful in that Contract I worked with him in. Real fighter y'know? Gave those guys quite a good combat."

"I don't like judging books by their cover but Lucas really gives off a serial killer feeling. I mean, he's a vampire and I've never met any vegan vampires before. That and he got high on acid blood. I think Neil may have pissed them off. Maybe me too. Hey, at least my organs are still in my flesh."

"Neil? I guess I owe Neil a little bit for curing Ghoul fever but he doesn't seem to be the nicest bloke around. Really took a lot of convincing to get him to not try to fuck me over. Never used any of his services either, need to change that in the future. 40k cash was nice though. Hey, at least if he does fuck me over in the future, he's famous enough for me find him."

"The dogtor was very pleasant to work with. 100% the most moral of the Contractors I have met. I hope our friendly relationship will be sustainable and both sides can profit. The world could really use more people like her."

"Juno is also wealthy and is a mage. Also working professionally with them. Haven't had too much interaction though."

"Same for Janet. She seems a little crazy though, buying that battle axe but still managed to save a child and patch up the injured."

"Eden feels like someone a little rash to me. But still, when shit hits the fan, he can sure live up to his stature. I think I feel comfortable letting him watch my back."

"Rectangle feels the most comfortable. I've been living in rectangle rooms my whole life after all. Not too large, maybe around 150 square feet? Not a square, square feels too rigid for me. One way windows on one side of the room, don't like the feeling of people staring at me. Good air flow is a must. Uh, oh! A nice wide bed that is really fluffy with cool pillows all the time. A small table and couch on one corner of the room. Carpet floors to not freeze my feet. Large mirror mounted above the bed as well. I like darker colors, stuff like dark purple or blue so that's the wall. The carpets should be light brown though. Makes it easier to find socks. A work desk on the side with a comfortable office chair for my desktop. Lot's of charging ports too. I also would like a bookshelf to keep all my books. Lastly, I think I'd like this room to smell like lavender..."

"Even before I was Imbued, I would've considered myself quite good at athletics. Sure, I didn't have the natural talent to make it to the Olympics or anything like that, but I'm confident I am at the level of a rusty world champion. Loved climbing mountains, swimming, hockey, too short for basketball, and did plenty of rock climbing."

"Right now though? I've spent a lot of time researching the supernatural. I'll be the first to admit that a lot of it was binging popular media though. In my defense, I did also spend hours upon hours pouring over ancient texts and scrolls. Lofi really helped me here. Internet research papers also were a good source of information and I can recall a lot of months spent trying to carve out the truth from the large pile of false."

"Knowledge about the supernatural has been really helpful in keeping my alive on dangerous jobs and identify the scary monsters trying to do terrible things to my body and mind but I think that there it is not the most important skill I should focus on right now. I've hit a maximum amount of knowledge I think I can gather without another source right now too."

"The bottom line huh? Well I think I'll start with not being tortured."

"I don't think it's that much of a surprise that I don't like pain. It's a deterrent to trying to die. Agony is a terrible thing to voluntarily experience but if it's for someone else innocent living, I'd have to grit my teeth but I'll willingly do it."

"I would never want to be betrayed again. It's a terrible experience that hurts more you trusted them. It's happened a few times though, but at least it's not something that I did that caused them to try to murder me or anything. I'd only betray another if they were scum or if someone innocent would die or suffer if I didn't. Even then, maybe not."

"Scum shouldn't live. That's it. I think that shows I am a vigilante at heart, heh. I would never let someone else, innocent, die during my pursuit though, unless I weighed that the alternative would be much worse. I've already let the stains of society leave to save someone else before. It shouldn't be hard to do so again."

"Tough question, I'm not really the greatest fan of music that I know, not even close, but hopefully what I know will suffice. I, uh, honestly prefer silence while concentrating."

"It's a bit uncomfortable for me to say this but, I'm kind of resonating with 'Somebody’s Watching Me' by Rockwell. Recently, I've been feeling a little paranoid that I'm being watched and stalked after these jobs. Maybe someone out there knows what I am and I could find a bullet through my skull any day now. I'm trying to act like someone normal, I mean, I am except for a few small parts. I guess I'm just afraid to be persecuted again. I'll have to get over it."

"'Helplessness Blues' by Fleet Foxes is another song I feel like that represents me. I grew up thinking I was the hottest shit in town and I'd rather be that way but honestly? Now I just want to be ordinary and happy. Make a world where anyone can be ordinary and happy."

"'I Drink Alone' by George Thorogood And The Destroyers. I don't drink but I still relate, I guess. I don't really want to spend too much time with others I and prefer being alone usually. Besides, my family doesn't want to speak to me really either now... At least now much."

"'Stand for Something' by Skindred. I don't think it's a lie for me to say that I got some social conscience and standing up for injustice."

"Moving on, 'Where is My Mind' by The Pixies! Despite having a goal, it's not really clear how I'm going to achieve it. I've got plans, 'course, but I still need to learn much more to make a feasible. I need to meet new people. I'm lost right now."

"'Dress Rehearsal Rag' by Leonard Cohen. At times, I really feel empty inside, like what I'm working towards is ultimately going to be meaningless. I feel alienated when I walk down streets, looking at passersby. Don't even feel like we are the same species sometimes."

"'Brother to Brother' by Gino Vanelli. I like the idea of working together, breaking down walls, for a better future. A future more whole. Quite inspiring."

"I.. I'm not sure. Even my current goal seems too ambitious, but I guess if I gain more power, I could realize how impossible it is and narrow my focus?"

"The issue is an ever-present one though and I likely will have to keep maintaining it. As for the Contract though, who knows? If I get powerful enough, get enough friends, and be real lucky, I could potentially make it to a point where I can feel comfortable in retiring. I'd have to be unbelievably powerful though and once I'm there, would I really be satisfied just maintaining a positive status quo? This is probably way too far off in the future for me to worry about though."

"If the opposition I face keeps growing though, terrible, evil Contractors that keep throwing their lives on the line, well someone needs to keep them in check, heh, assuming I don't get stabbed to death by them. I'll keep climbing 'till I'm so high that I can easily kick the bad apples off."

"I don't think that I'm really the hardest person to anger, but it's slightly harder to significantly make me absolutely pissed. Been angry fair share of times during these jobs."

"In general, the common atrocities are a big no-no to me. I've, uh, I guess learnt to 'accept' that terrible things are happening all the time in places I can't see and it's really much harder to empathize with someone you don't know or see. Still gets me riled up though but it's not going to be healthy for my blood pressure if I'm fuming all the time. I'm trying to work towards making things better but sometimes you have to invest in yourself to be of more use in the future. Even if you have to buy into terrible things so you can stop in eventually. I sure don't think I'm a good person or whatever if I make sure the life of others will get better only in the future and still accepting that bad things are happening and not immediately making it better. At least that's my current philosophy. Besides, not all issues can be solved by one person, better to focus on one thing at a time."

"If anyone touches my family, I'll lop of the hand that did so even if it meant I had to tear off mine. I guess it would maybe be conditional on who..."

"Betrayal doesn't make me as angry as it makes me sad. Like they say, the worst part about betrayal is that is never comes from the enemy you are looking at. Still, if I get a knife to the back and I didn't earn it? Someone's gonna have a bad day."

"Talking about atrocities... I honestly don't sleep very well if I know that a bastard I saw doing some terrible shit is still walking about. I don't sleep very well these days."

"I sure don't like sharing my Social Security number! Also try to keep my banking details secret."

"Jokes aside though, I don't very have that many secrets to keep. I mean, I try not to mention things, sure, but most of my darkest hours are already quite well known. I suppose I try to keep my supernatural and Contractor status away from anyone in my personal life, like my family and... friends. I don't want to worry them but..."

"It's not the hardest things to find general details about my school years and the family break about my past. I try to hide it but I must admit I've let it slip during some more emotional moments."

"But deep down? I think my deepest secret I keep buried is my fear. I try to... I really try to open up and form new relationships but when it gets to the point that I... I can't really force myself to have anyone in my life be more than close acquaintances. I may call some people friends but it's never really like that in my mind."

"I desperately want to but I'm too scared of the hurt again."

"Ha, high bar but if I manage to make it I think I'd go with something more simple. Don't wanna call myself 'Dragon King Explosion Gold Immortal Emperor' or 'Blood Death Harbinger'. Hmm, either 'Chestnut' or 'Mirror' will do. Mirror is probably an obvious choice given my specialty but Chestnut, for honoring my beautiful Mitsubishi Mirage is also a good choice. Besides, already using it in some Contractor communities. I don't think my actual name will go out though, gotta have a personal life y'know?"

"As for Contracts I will run... Contracts that do good in the world are my cup of tea. Killing monsters and saving orphanages, that sorta stuff. Gonna treat the practical yet good ones real well too. No use having puppy-eyed Contractors who believe friendship can solve everything. I don't think that any amount of power can make them do real change. Bastard serial killers aren't fun either though, but at least they might get the job done instead dying on the street. I think Contracts that point them to stab a real asshole or two are what I want. Charity work can always be done outside of jobs. Least I can do is find who needs the knife in their throat."

"Damn, sobering question huh? Assuming they are gone for good, viscera splattered all over the pavement and all, first order of business is taking what they can't use anymore. I can only set up funerals and fulfill their wills if I'm alive. I'll try to get their corpse back at least, hopefully be able to at least show something to their family... I'll try to also set up a funeral for them, but it might need to be private if they are already Illuminated. Bringing the dead friends back is always going to be a priority though but true resurrections isn't something I've seen yet. At least past a certain point. If I have the life-stitching cocaine on me and they are lying on the ground with a bullet wound in their head, well I bought it for such occasions. Least that's what I'll try to do for the good ones. The bad ones can rot in hell."

Nathan adjusts his seat while caressing the transformation cube on his palm, feeding it a penny.

"Mhm, Contracts are often on the less than legal side. Sometimes to do the right thing, the law has to be, uh well, circumvented. Now, I appreciate many of the officers just trying to help out so I don't just stab them. Not sure the same can be said for others though."

"Usually, I try to remain as non-descript as possible, and not obviously be involved with the criminal acts I may or may not commence. If I have to break the law though, not leaving any traces for one is a good idea. Gloves, bleach, and all that. I've been fairly fortunate with the fact that most Contracts I've been on have been fairly isolated. When I do have to break the law, it's not obvious that I'm the one to do so. No one is going to find a burnt car in middle of a jungle for a long time."

"If by chance, an officer wanders by while I'm stealing from a vault or similar, I'll just have to cause a notable distraction and GTFO. Not gonna kill someone for doing their job, but I do have some future plans for disorienting them a lot."

"Depends if I'm possibly incriminated and if I believe the law can handle them. I don't want to send police to their grave. If I saw them murder an innocent child or string someone by their organs, well they sure aren't going to fucking make it out of that unscathed."

"It's a case by case basis for my immediate reaction. Does it jeopardize other people's health if I don't act now? If so, you can bet your ass I'm going to hit that Contractor like a truck. Ambush attacks are the go-to. Pull their attention away, lure them elsewhere, then deal with them in more favorable circumstances. If not and what's done is done. I'll act and smile for a few seconds sure, and when their back is turned, rip their guts out. Preferably when they are sleeping, I'll plant a bug on 'em beforehand. Once they go to relax and talk about baby-murder or something, I'll pop in and deliver them some poison or the like. Don't want them to hurt anyone in a struggle."

"I've done some bad things for Contracts. I'm under no illusion that I'm a bad person. How did Harold put it? That you can use your newfound powers for good or some shit. I think that's a cop out and I regret my decisions at time. Caused the death of a, eh, relatively innocent person before. Only once but that doesn't absolve anything. When I save some people out of a ditch with any powers I have, I think 'Does this balance the scales? can I balance it even?'. I-I honestly have trouble figuring it out."

"I don't want any more innocent blood on my hands. There sure is now but there doesn't have to be any more. If a Harbinger asks me to do any atrocities or severely harm anyone innocent, well I'll likely politely tell them to fuck off. Depends on what situation I'm in though. Sometimes life presents you a trolley problem and if I don't get enough power, someone else is going to die. At that point and carve another number on my flesh and tell myself that this is the only way. World sucks, what can you do?"

"Harbingers are quite enigmatic indeed. I have a complicated relationship with some and downright dislike others. Many I've never even glanced the face of."

"There's the one tied with Rustov and Grigori. He skinned me like an apple to deliver a message about the fu- the Contract in the first place. It was an experience for sure... He also let me get rid of a lot of very bad things."

Nathan's face twitches with disgust with the mental image of what the things did.

"It was a pleasure watching them scream and become pounded into mincemeat."

"There was the screen man, heh, he gave me a much better ending of GOT through some TV magic. That guy was a pretty kind Harbinger and fun to talk to, would recommend."

"Not sure if Prometheus Ventures counts as one but I would've appreciated them telling me what job it was. I thought it was a job interview and went there with a suit and nothing else. My first one too."

"There's the 'Trust No Bitch' man. Not a good person. I... I don't really want to talk about that right now. It still gnaws at me."

"Lots of other Harbingers just go through e-mail and it's nice and simple. Would prefer more interaction most of the time though, lets me know what I'm getting into."

"There was the air spirit that delivered the letter! They added like fifty thousand hours to my apartment clean-up. Chaotic to say the least."
