Nate Silverman

Dr. Nate Silverman is an original character from Hawk's Tarnishedverse series. Originally a Mani human scientist from the late 2700s/early 2800s, he and his wife accidentally created their own universe and became dragons. In Bete Noire, Nate attempts to hide his dragon form (badly) and lives with John Boyd. He is currently blind due to one of his abilities.

As a Human
To put it simply, Nate is an altered clone. He was created because his "father" desired to live forever in some way or another and with the invention of the Mani laws, Nate was allowed to be born by being altered instead of being an identical clone of his parent. Despite being born on the moon, Nate was given all the rights of a Earth citizen due to his father's rank of Admiral and his friendship with the Solar Emperor. Because of his father's rank and the war with a hostile alien force, he was raised by a female synthetic (a humanoid robot with fin ears) called Epsilon Eight and given the human name of Syn Cynthia Silverman once Nate was old enough to buy her. Nate would go to the Solar Empire's best military academy on Earth and was in the top two percent of his class, joining the military once he was eighteen like everybody else in his graduating class.

Trivia

 * Nate's username, dragongotback, is from the song title Baby Got Back. The usernames for his sons (not in game) also use lyrics/titles from the 1990s, being stopdragontime and dragonparadise ('stop! hammer time' and Amish Paradise, respectively).


 * His OOC nickname, gweeper, comes from the sound he makes as a baby dragon, which is an adorable gweep noise.
 * The sound can also be described as how a dying squeak toy sounds.
