This one here is an older piece of art. First and thus far only pic I've done of this character even though I've used him in a story and have done a lot with him in my head and with some friends. Gotta get around to drawing him again.

Nathaniel was born long ago in my Fur universe not long before a what they call The Great War. It was a war between the Furs and humans. Furs in this universe are for the most part the result of a genetically engineered pathogen witch splices animal genetics into a human being. Thus most furs are derived from altered humans. All humans save for but a few were succeptable to this pathogen and those who seemed immune paid for in in sterility in most cases. Eventually this lead to war. Nathaniel was there to see it begin. He lost quite a bit during the first few days of it and didn't take long to join the Fur military forces.

Over the course of time in his battles Nathaniel began to develop his red markings. He also noticed something. Injuries that put others out of commission for weeks did little to slow him down. Eventually he noticed that even fatal injuries weren't fatal to him and as the War raged on into it's 3rd decade. While the others he started with were old now he was not. He was immortal it seemed. And over time learned that much as he might wish to join fallen friends he was unable to.

As time went on and the War ended Nathaniel roamed the lands selling his skills hunting bothersome humans. It was a job. Though after one incident he decided to stop. He was with a group that had just raided a cabin of humans who'd been causing problems for the local village. It wasn't until after all of them were dead that they heard a cry. A Human infant. A rare thing in that day and age. After much debate the leader of the band decided there was only one thing to do. The Infant wouldn't have much of a life among them and they wouldn't know what to do if it got sick. Nathaniel didn't stick around to see it. He just heard the gunshot as he walked out of the cabin.

After that he spent some time with the Upliftment task forces and eventually settling down in Denshire Falls near his decedents Lig and Warren. After centuries of using his skills he was ready for a quite breather. He took up a job training local law enforcement and teaching self defense courses. Aside from that he settled in nicely in the town which he fit right in. Like many of it's inhabitants he had toileting issues. His stemming from an injury he received in the early days of the War that although did heal never healed quite right.

Well hope you guys enjoyed the pic and the lil story. ^^
