About nathan blackmer

A brief summary of Nathan Gordon Blackmer, Age 27, Caucasian Male.

I was born in a little town called Londonderry, in southern Vermont. My father was a hippy, my mother was a drug addict/biker. Clearly niether was ideally suited for parenting, so I and my older sister were raised mostly by my grandparents. He'd been a farmer, then a mechanic, then a laborer. She was more or less married off at a young age to him, and luckily things worked out.

We're of Irish, German, and Franch Canadian Indian Stock. I grew up poor (we were trailer trash) but thanks to my fathers influence I was fascinated with reading and with video games.

I remember being too little to actually read, and I always looked at two books in particular - a book on dinosaurs and this odd hardbound book with a picture with trees, a centaur and a red dragon standing on the grass, and below ground an enormous purple worm fighting with a bunch of tiny people. I took the book to school with me, and (previously having a difficult time learning to read) the teachers were quick to jump on it. So it was that I learned to read off the old monster manual.

It wasn't much longer (maybe the third grade?) that my pestering convinced my parents to pick me up a Dungeons and Dragons Starter Set.

I grew up doing combat sports. I spent a great deal of time boxing, doing tae kwon do and Savate. When I started high school a friend got me into fencing, starting a new life long addiction.

I'll try to fast forward a bit, I'm sure it's dragging on;

I went to College for one girl, and left for another.
I moved home after things didn't work out, moved away with another girl, and became a licensed Massage Therapist.
Things weren't working out, so in a sudden burst of...(patriotism?) I moved home for a few months while waiting for my chance to join the Air Force.
I got through basic, and was assigned to Maxwell Air Force Base. I took pitty on a young girl who's family was near Maxwell and traded her for Grand Forks ND.
Three weeks after arriving in Grand Forks I was diagnosed with cancer. Three years later I kicked it's ass.
Along the way, a girl that I play Pathfinder with introduced me to my fiance, who I convinced to throw caution to the wind and move cross country and transfer schools to be with me. She's got brown hair past her shapely rear, she's a percussionist music major with a smooth, jazzy voice. She's incredible.

Those are the cliff's notes.

I like Fantasy, Science Fiction. I'm a big Marvel Comics fan. I love lightning storms, fighting, and singing at the top of my lungs (a fate worse then death, I'm not much of a singer). I'm happy go lucky. I'm a centrist politically, but a little more left leaning then not.

If there's anything else you want to know, ask. I'm an open book. That's why I use my real name for my handle.

Oh, I had my ass kicked by an automated bathroom when I was 15 or 16. It's a good story, but it takes a bit and I'm running out of time right now.
