It was his biggest regret, if only he decided not to accept that duty, they might still there.Now, no one hug him when he came home, the only thing he saw was sadness on his neighboor's face. Someone broke to their house, no one survived, but there is only one grave. Took him months to find his only son, he was only three, no way he can run on his own, but to no avail.He can't surrender to the grief, he rejoined the Army, keep saying to himself that this is what she wanted, this is what they wanted, they wanted him to keep protecting his country. He can’t keep blaming himsel for “their” death, it might not preventable, even if he decide to stay it might wont stop them to meet “their” fate.He gave up, he can’t do this anymore. He left the army months later, losing to his grief and guilt he can never forget. The only thing he can do is just wondering around the country, hoping that somehow his son is still alive and waiting for him to come.More than ten years passed since his departure, and yet he still can't trace his beloved son.

• Timeline

Nathandra

Nothing much to say, really. His neighbors always said that he is kinda mysterious, knowing he spent most of his time on the field instead of his house, but they said he was a loving husband.Despite being mysterious, he's quite popular among his neighbors mostly because he's surprisingly charming and gentle. However, after the tragedy, he slowly became colder and more aggressive. However, it doesn't mean it's easy for him to get angry, he can control his emotion quite well.Being a soldier for a pretty long time affect his strength and pain tolerance. Every object can be a weapon on his hand, but his weapon of choice is anything sharp, especially knives. If it works, then it's good. Even though he can legally own guns, he's not really a fan of it.Years of grieving over her death, he still can't open his heart to another woman, regardless of how beautiful or the kind that woman is, his heart still belongs to her.The loss of his son also affects him greatly on how he sees a child, he can't help but imagine the childhood his son could have every time he sees a happy young boy.

• Chevron Right

Despite accepting every kind of job, he often refer himself as Bodyguard since many people hired him as Bodyguard instead of other job.He always tried to avoid conflict as much as possible, providing safety for both himself and his clients, also thanks to his decent emotion management.He sees himself as a Tank, which means he rather protect himself and wait for his enemy to get tired instead of attacking first. However, he's amazing at close-quarter combat, it just that he rather not use it until he really needs it.Despite liking being alone, he's the kind of person who seeks other people's comfort every time his anxiety and traumatic memories strikes him, thus relying a lot on his trusted friend presence.

Mercenary [?]

Almost never mentioned himself as Mercenary for hire, until someone asked at least or to other Mercenary. Being technically unemployed after left the army doesn't stop him from doing Dangerous Army works, tho he always thinks more than twice before accepting any dangerous works as he tried to stay alive until he found his son.It's possible to hire him as mercenary for basically everything. However, he's quiet picky with his future job, if that mission told him to kill someone that he doesn't know the Backround, high chance he wont accept it.He wants money nothing more than for living, regardless how much money you gave him he will still denied your job offer if he doesn't want to do that.

He was wrong. When Rana died and he decided to resign from the military.They disowned him.Resigned before retirement age was seen as a disgrace for their family regardless of the reason.Thus ending their relationship.Deep inside, Nathandra is a little grateful for every lesson they gave him, but it doesn't hide the fact that they don't see him as their son.

Notes

Nathandra is a fictional character made by #Padi aka WhitePadi for their personal project "Badjingan (juga) punya kisah" or in English "(Even) Bastards has stories." that already been published on Webtoon.With that being said, the writer most likely NO LONGER writes any solo plot about this character and won't accept any crucial relationship that can change Nat's main story after the year of 2019. However, the writer still accepts an offer for a casual relationship or collaboration plot.The writer uses Donny Damara as Nat's face claim and has no affiliation with him whatsoever, they only use his face for visualization purpose only.Nat is a cheerful guy, or at least he tries, deep inside he's broken. So once in a while, you might see him say something depressing or gloomy. Nat is an NSFW character but mostly NOT in Sexual way, he occasionally swore and can mention something related to violence even death.
