OC: Nathan West

"Nathan is something of a neo-primitive. Born to an already unsteady family, within a few years his unnatural presence and abilities pushed things over the edge, and in a violent murder-suicide that took his parents' lives and nearly claimed his as well, he was driven out of society. Existing on the fringes for years, barely surviving, he still managed to quickly learn enough to keep a grim hold on life.

During adolescence, he tried once more to integrate himself into society, choosing the largest city he could find. Unfortunately, as his most formative years were spent far away from human contact, he had no luck managing any sort of social game, and he was relegated to using what he learned in the wilds to barely hang on in an urban jungle, surrounded but ultimately separate from his own kind.

Then the apocalypse came and went. Both 'urban' and 'wild' changed, mixed, became something entirely new for that small portion of the populace that survived. Nathan, having lived as an outsider his entire remembered life, adapted to this environment better than most. Even so, his social handicaps prevented on him from capitalizing on his skills in earning any sort of real power base. Instead, he lives on as a near mythological being, pursuing his own ends and socializing with others only when absolutely necessary.

Semi-nomadic, there are a number of towns who talk about the White Wyrm, a solitary thing which alternately protects or devastates those that cross its path, carrying a spear carved from its own flesh and bone, and a sword allegedly taken by force from an archangel."
