Henry Glass, Nathan’s paternal grandfather, built this legacy from scratch, his business savvy and ruthlessness earning him quite the reputation. Two years after consolidating his empire, at the age of thirty-one, he took a young socialite from New York as his spouse - a political marriage, if there ever was one. Heather Winthrop was the perfect wife and mother, doing the all-American thing of standing by her man, even as the global financial crisis hit and they had to sell a portion of the company’s shares. Still, it didn’t take Glass and Co. long to recover. After all, any businessman worth his salt knew how to capitalise off the misfortune of others. Henry soon found himself with little to do, due to his ever-expanding empire, and signing the dotted line at the end of a document he hadn’t read was all in day’s work.[/indent] [color=B0FFD2][b][u]Appearance[/u][/b][/color] [indent]Standing at 5’8”, and weighing in at just a hair off 140 pounds, it’s safe to say that he isn’t exactly the most imposing of figures. It doesn’t help that he hates standing up straight, either. Nathan’s posture is an endless source of torment for his mother; shoulders rolled forward, knees bent, hands inside his pockets. Apart from the seemingly permanent dark circles underneath his eyes, he looks well enough, though it’s possible that he’s just a touch too pale. Fine veins at his temples convey a promising hint of vulnerability, and while he might not like to hear people say it, there’s a graceful languor to his movements, as does the way he talks. Nathan’s all easy smiles and light touches on the arm until he inevitably grows tired of playing nice. He’d never be caught dead wearing something that has gone out of fashion, always making sure to keep up with the latest trends. Nathan doesn’t believe in the saying “less is more”. He believes that “more is better” - and the prettier or more expensive something is, the more worthwhile it’s bound to be. If it isn’t the best, he doesn’t like it, and this scrutiny doesn’t just include himself, but also the people around him. What is she wearing? Is that Gucci? But Marc Jacobs is in season, and [i]those[/I] shoes with [i]that[/i] dress? Whatever you do, make sure it’s not a cheap, off-brand knock off, especially around Nathan. He’s a huge shopaholic - a terrible habit that being ridiculously rich enables - and retail therapy is his go-to solution whenever he’s feeling down. But whatever one might be led to believe; just remember that he’s more kawaii than you.[/indent] [hr] [center][img]http://33.media.tumblr.com/3c5de00a723eb2c777cc7a0811d751eb/tumblr_n8qb4oLBsS1skkzxlo1_r1_500.gif[/img] [i]“I just really need you to shut the hell up right now.”[/i][/center] [hr] [color=B0FFD2][b][u]Personality[/u][/b][/color] [indent]Nathan’s blonde, pretty, rich, and a little bit of a bitch. He has the temperament of a genius, though whether he or not he has the skills to back it up is a different story altogether. A spoilt brat hiding behind a mask of sphinx-like intrigue and nonchalance, he’s the type of guy who’ll pretend to love you if you’d only just do his homework. Whether he realizes it or not, he picked up a lot of traits from his father, one of which is confidence in oneself. Being born into a family of such high esteem, he’s used to keeping up the shining reputation of the Glass name, but that confidence has seeped into his personal life as well. He has no issues justifying his own reasons for saying or doing what he wants, though he can be quick to tear others down for being “dumb”. While Nathan might not be the wisest, nor the most knowledgeable, he’s a good judge of character, and it takes little time for him to classify a person. He prides himself on being hard to read - especially when it comes to relationships. Not one to open up right away, he prefers to keep everyone at arm’s length until he has no other choice but to let them get close. Though when he truly does take an interest in something (or someone), he puts all of himself into it, and momentarily forgets about almost everything else. He’s very often obsessive about the things he does, and the people he chooses to follow. He’s hard to like, much less to love but to those he considers friend, he’s the person you want at your side when times get rough. That being said, however, you’ll find that he’s impulsive as the day is long and doesn’t often think twice about consequences. Nathan thrives off adventure and change, and people who like things to stay in a certain order and live by routine bore him. As the runt of the litter, Nathan often feels a little shortchanged. This manifests itself as a compulsive need for attention, and he’ll often exhaust himself just to make a lasting first impression. Yet for all his flaws, he does have a few soft spots, though they are particularly well-hidden and difficult to find. He’s never uncomfortable; in fact, his boldness often borders on brash and crosses into downright crude, thanks to his lack of a filter. If it’s on his mind, it’s out of his mouth. Still, he’s an expert at charm whenever he needs to be, having been raised under the watchful eye of the best nannies money could buy. It’s easy enough for him to cover up these occasional lapses - nothing a smirk and a few pretty words can’t clear up, right?[/indent] [color=B0FFD2][b][u]Likes[/u][/b][/color] [indent][list][*]Starbucks [*]Literature [*]Fashion [*]Shopping [*]Terrible pop music[/list][/indent] [color=B0FFD2][b][u]Dislikes[/u][/b][/color] [indent][list][*]Obnoxious vegans [*]Reality TV [*]Insects [*]People who take themselves too seriously [*]Being ignored[/list][/indent] [color=B0FFD2][b][u]Fears[/u][/b][/color] [indent][list][*]Dogs, courtesy of a rather unfortunate incident during his childhood.

[*]This one’s a little less obvious, but Nathan is terrified of his future, and what he’s going to do once he gets out of school.

Growing up, he had everything he wanted, from the newest, most expensive toys, to the household help catering to his every whim and desire. It was more than enough to to instill in him a sense of entitlement that he’d never be able to quite shake off. Much unlike his siblings, Nathan was stubborn, rebellious, and hard to teach. Around his family, he kept up a facade of pleasant thoughtfulness, but alone, he was selfish and uncooperative. It wasn’t because he wanted to be (though he [i]did[/i] enjoy the power being filthy rich warranted), but a part of him felt he deserved to be rotten when he got passed over for everything under the sun. In the eyes of his parents, it was always his brother and sister who came first; even as they smiled, ruffled his hair, and showered him with sparkling gifts and trinkets.[/indent] [color=B0FFD2][b][u]Favorite memory[/u][/b][/color] [indent]Optional.
