mario and luigi. Call them brothers from another mother or whatever, but Nate's hard-pressed without these two in his life. Whether it's video games, college, frat membership, or general havoc, the three of them are usually in the thick of it together, and it's something so natural that Nate's almost forgotten a time when he hadn't lived so close to these guys, much less never even knew each other. When Nate's invited somewhere, the general assumption that the invitation is extended to these two as well, for much like a Nintendo system without a title starring their favorite adventurous plumbers, Nate's pretty much doomed for a night of fail without either one of his best friends at his side.

animal crossing. Havoc! Chaos! Danger! Adventure! Whether Nate and the Crew's been building morally ambiguous gadgetry or just want to redefine the concept of "stirring shit," Nate finds these Tales to be the go-to people for assistance. Their enthusiasm is infectious, their willingness to dive head-first into shady mischief impressive, and their fondness of stupid jokes about poop and catapults endear this motley crew to Nate immensely. Although they may not be the best friends, they're certainly close, and Nate finds that hanging out with the lot of them to be disgustingly addictive. [

final fantasy. Sure, the games in the Final Fantasy franchise has little in common save for its core values, and Nate's relationship with these people mirror that nature with one aspect: they're all Jewish. These individuals, save for this cultural link, could have less in common; some are funny as fuck and more than a little squirrley, others are calm and composed, and still others are actually (gasp) responsible. Therefore, with all those personalities taken into account, Nate's connection within the group ranges from vague acquaintences to ready friends. But for whatever differences in all of this, they have a common thread of religious and ethnic background, and for that, these people and Nate have an understanding. [

pong. The originators of awesome. Nate, for whatever reason, looks up to these guys as Serious Male Rolemodels - the only problem being that they are probably the farthest thing from the truth. Nothing says fun like romanticizing two-color pixelation, and Nate does the same for these guys and their... well, juvenile behaviors. [spots a-plenty open]
ganon. Why you gotta be hating on his bros? This person (or persons) are not particularly fond of Nate, or his Mario and Luigi or Animal Crossing friends, for reasons that he really cannot fathom. Who doesn't like a little bit of mischief and mayhem? What's so wrong with having fun now and again? Sometimes, he admits that flaunting it to authority a bit has its special charm, but there's other times when there's a legitimate reason for Nate asking, "What in the hell did I even do to you?!" [one, possibly two spots open]
peach. Nate is the first to admit that, frequently, his initial reaction to girls is to stare at the chest. At length. There are a few individuals of the fairer sex who Nate finds to be interesting enough to look at their face, though, and this girl is definitely one of them. She's funny, yeah, but it's not because of her face - it's because she's got the sense of humor and wit that's right up his alley. Sure, general concensus and rumor has it that she's "troubled" and "needs saving," but Nate swears that's her own fucking business, and if he's going to do anything restorative, it's to broaden her knowledge of stupid sites on the Internet and that's it. Well. Unless she'd- oh fuck it, never mind. Nate's story is that she's cool and he's sticking to it. [
