Nathan Sommers

Nathan Sommers was formerly the 7th in the Pillars but due to only a six player team, he had to step out. But this didnt mean he didnt get a copy of the game. Summoned to Mid-Gaia, he was considered the laughing stock, but found his own as a Healing Farmer. Ironically, his job classes make him extremely formidable, even with the Demeter Familia.

Background
Nathan Sommers was the eldest son of two parents who worked on a farm. From an early age, animals have naturally been drawn towards him. He was well-liked by any animal he encountered and they would act friendlier towards him than most other people. When he was a kid, he was offered a ride by a dog in his local area even though the dog had never once given a ride to anyone. During his time in elementary school, he was never once pecked by the chickens who were notoriously known by his classmates to peck. As Nathan grew up, he worked multiple jobs at once, including at an izakaya and food-court.

During his teens, he was introduced to Dungeon Masters and Dragon Riders, and initially subscribed. Though he was ridiculed due to not being a Healer, but a Farmer, as both classes weren’t warriors and considered weak. However, a group known as the Pillar 6 took him in as their Master Healer, dubbing the Peridot Farmer as the one that kept them alive. He had a passion for video games, light novels, anime, and other otaku-like activities. He would often put his hobbies in front of his actual studies, which caused his parents to believe he was a lost cause and focused all their attention on his younger brother by sending him to a famous prep-school in the hope to secure his future.

However, the pressure and the lack of freedom was too much for his younger brother. Worn out by the stress of studying and jealous of his older brother's freedom, he eventually turned into a troubled teen. He started dying his hair in different colors and even swore around the house.

Nathan was painfully aware of the fact that he was the main reason why his younger brother turned into such a troublemaker. He took it upon himself to help mend his younger brother's relationship towards their family by introducing him to a dating simulator game. His younger brother was hesitant at first, but quickly got hooked and became an otaku himself.

Because his younger brother found a way to relieve his stress, he rededicated himself to his studies. Afterwards, he became the top of his class and even managed to get into a good school.

Once the 6 Pillars were able to get registered to the annual DMDR Gaming Tournament, Nathan had to drop out due to the balancing act of six members for this tournament, as no one else had a 7th member to their group. But he did supply his characters with a lot of potions, elixirs and so on to keep on fighting. And much to his surprise, they won the national tournament. The prize was a million dollars and a copy of the newest game release.

Though a month after, it scieved a check of the same amount and the copy test of the game as well. It seemed as a member of the group, he was also entitled to it as well unofficially. He immediately tried it out, and was sucked within a vortex almost blacking out. There, he met a female silhouette who seemed to call him interesting, saying his skills would help the others out. Confused by this, the girl kissed him on the forehead, saying she had given him the Blessing of the Emerald Sight:  an ability that only someone like her could give him.

When he awoke, he found himself at the forest in another world, along with his avatar appearance. He even discovered that he was located in Zultain:  the Mountain Forest Town that was guarded and protected by the Demeter Familia. As he walked around, he noticed demi-humans and other races, almost estatic that he was in another world. He immediately registered as an adventurer… only to get laughed at when his primary jobs were Healer and Farmer. A spearman named Albert, who was a Porcelain ranked adventurer like him, stated that Farmers and Healers weren’t warriors… and that they were the weakest. Though a swordswoman, named Snow Shizuku was brought in, her arm missing due to a Dragon Attack, was in need of healing. Instinctively, Nathan helped, and amazed everyone by regrowing her lost limb and immediately treating her injuries. Though sadly, he passed out from pain himself as he freaked out, as this ability named Ultimate Heal had the ability to copy and paste their memories and pain.

Because of this, Nathan wasn’t able to join a team. He couldn’t properly get a job as a healer either due to the backlash. Because of this, he didn’t have any place to stay and resorted to living outside of town in the forest. Until one day, he got hungry and desperate enough to kill and eat a monster rabbit. Though taking pity on the poor creature… he healed it, immediately seeing its memories and pain, and passed out. Only when he awoke, the rabbit monster had brought him a bounty of fruits. Looking at it, he ate them but kept the seeds. Though oddly enough, he checked his stats… only to find him at level 150 much to his surprise, as well as a variety of skills aside from Healing and Farming. There were swordsmanship Skills, Alchemic Skills, and now he saw Monsters Skills such as Agility Aerodynamics, and more. It turned out that Ultimate Heal didn’t just copy and pasted the memories and pain, but also the skills of those he healed up.

Wandering back into town, he spotted the Captain of the Local guards, drunk as a skunk and stating he wasn’t a coward, going to what appeared to be the Dragon’s location. Using his new skills of Aerodynamics and Agility, he followed after him, only not get followed himself by an adventurer who smelled trouble from the Captain. Once there though, the Captain, who had hidden, stabbed Nathan in the back, kicking him down in order to get eaten by the remaining dragons. Though this turned as a problem, as the dragon was actually a Dragon Fiend:  a Demon that defiled Dragon Corpses by fusing them together to make a twisted version for itself to possess. It instantly killed the captain and though the adventurer in question that followed them both, a Pantheran female assassin named Kalliah Salleu, had rushed in to help, but only to get attacked by the fiend. Nathan, almost about to die, was spared by the real dragon:  an Earth Dragon that sensed something within the boy and gave him an egg, as well as the treasure he was guarding:  a weaponized shovel named Digger. Amazingly healed up, Nathan charged into battle, using the swordsmanship skills and Alchemic Transmutation, to kill the Fiend by using Ultimate Heal’s polar opposite, Wither, to decay the body and purify the Demon.

About to wander back into the forest, Rem stopped him asking who he was. Though considering his treatment, he brushed her off, thinking she was rude as hell. She attempted to fight him, but he was easily able to beat her using Digger’s powers to control plants, and using her weaknesses:  petting and fluffing her ears. Once she was weakened, he walked away, hoping never to see anyone again. Settling again in the forest, the egg hatched revealing a freshly born Earth Dragon, who took a liking to him, and Nathan as well, naming him Plantar. The two proceeded to build a farming home in the center of the forest, and took on jobs utilizing herbs and cleanup, as well as any odd jobs. Though this also led to Rem following them nonstop, as she wanted answers on who he was, but he easily either avoided or lost her. Though Albert was growing suspicious of him, even attempted to bring him on a job involving killing an Owl Hind Bear nearby. Turning it down, Nathan took a job to gather herbs in a mountain region nearby (unknowingly in the same territory that the Owl Bear was in).

Once there though, Kalliah had finally got them alone, and demanded answers. Unfortunately, the forest was caguth ablaze, mostly by Albert to smoke out the Owl Bear. Working together once the Bear raced to them instead of Albeot, they easily killed it. Though Albert and his crew showed up finding the downed bear. In his fanatical attempt to make Nathan fight him or join him, they unwittingly brought the irk and attention of a Fenrir Wolf…. Which spoke to them. Using one of her Teleportation Scrolls, Nathan sent Albert and his group back, while he and Rem fought the wolf. It was easy due to Diller, but the spells in general kept insisting that he enslave her. He stopped head on and just let the defeated wolf be… only for all three to get surprised when the exhausted wolf transformed into a naked platinum blonde woman that fell into his arms.

Taking them back to his home for recuperation, and much to Rem’s surprise of the farm in the middle of the forest, Nathan dediced to tell all three, once the wolf girl was awakened, who and what he was. Once he told them the whole story, Rem decided it was best she stay to keep an eye on someone like him, but the Wolf Girl, now named Freya, roared in stating she was a typical loser stalking her husband, calling her a homewrecker. Though surprised about that, Freya stated that once a Fenrir Wolf of the Wolf Tribe was defeated by another in combat and left to live… they would marry the said victor.

Though during this time, Nathan would actually be recognized for his bravery and selflessness, seen as someone on the level of a Hero. He would also learn that he wasn’t the only one brought here either.

Personality
Initially, before he was sent to Mid-Gaia, Nathan was a very kind and gentle young man with dreams. When he discovered that he was sent to the world of Dungeon Masters and Dragon Riders, he was very excited but he was afraid to use his power when he found out that by healing people, he absorbed their memories and pain. Nathan had initially been an exceedingly trusting and positive person. He was also enthusiastic about his situation when initially summoned. However, his mentality abruptly changed after he was treated like dirt because of his class and jobs.

Left penniless, unwanted and ridiculed nonstop, Nathan became distrustful, cynical, and spiteful towards the entire world. He could not trust anyone as a traveling companion, and wanting to work alone. He started to assume that others were trying to get something from him.

The ridicule and bullism left him in a permanent state of anger and hostility, although he masks them behind a calm and level-headed personality. This mentality bites him back as he unknowingly pushes away genuine people who want to help him out.

His hatred for Albert is without limit, extending to the point where he becomes wholly apathetic and ignorant to anyone that wants to help him. It also makes him ignorant of women advancing on him and just pushing them away, especially with Rem and Freya. Early on, he even expresses disgust and hatred for women purely because they are of the same gender as the woman who tricked him, though he never voices this.

Due to Rem and Freya, he becomes less inwardly hostile towards women but is still oblivious to their advances. After Rem gets an upgraded outfit, when she asks him what he thinks of her body, exposed at the time for the application of the crest, he remains oblivious.

Eventually, he recovers more of his caring side and begins treating Rem like a friend, though she wants more than friendship but won’t admit it, which causes him to be both annoyed and ignorant of her advances.

By the time he turns his farm into a base of operations and relocates to Rock Valley with it, he is visibly kind to everyone while maintaining his strict attitude, as he still does not hesitate to call for discipline when needed.

Nathan is considerate of others to an extent, willing to share a room on a boat with other adventurers and preventing what could have resulted in these ordinary adventurers facing eviction from the boat.

He has a realistic approach to most things. Though his allies want him to behave heroically and be forgiving, he acts otherwise by holding a grudge and enjoying the misfortune of those he hates.

Nathan, like Alex and the others, unlike the heroes, is reasonable most of the time. He is convinced to stay in Midland after listening to the arguments of the queen for why he should stay even though he never received any funds from the crown until the end (though none of the others did either). Instead, he receives a territory at his request.

Nathan is perhaps one of the most effective of the Pillars at getting things done, next to Alex, Ghallis, and Dante. He even corrects the problems that the heroes either start or make worse, with Alex and Ghallis backing him up due to their own experiences. Despite being portrayed as this unheroic and useless job character, he still holds a basic set of morals, as he is willing to save even people who had scolded or otherwise wronged him.

It turns out he’s got a thing for demi-human girls. Apparently when he pets their ears and tails, it makes him very relaxed. This is viewed when he pets Rem’s ears, and loses himself to the floofiness of it, as he calls it. He tells her she reminds him of those kittens he liked to pet.

Powers

 * Job Classes:  Hero and Farmer

Because of these two classes put together, Nathan has a variety of skills that can help:


 * Ultimate Heal: By healing things and concepts, Nathan performs various abilities from the Healer Class:
 * Recovery: By manipulating time and matter, Nathan can return things to their original states and heal deep injuries from himself or others. Initially, using it to heal someone would cause him great pain, but later on he learns how to use this skill without showing any signs of pain at all.
 * Imitation: Every time Nathan heals someone, he gains the fighting skills and experience from that person. He already used this skill many times before, retaining all the knowledge from different fighters, soldiers and mages.
 * Predator: Can either absorb or copy some of the levels of a person, allowing Nathan to level up. The same ability can also be used to absorb all the mana from someone, or just a portion if he wants. If the target is a mage or fully dependent on mana, that person gets incapacitated and weakened.
 * Corruption/Wither: Destroys the target from inside by corrupting them. Nathan usually refers to this ability as a One-Hit KO skill.
 * Upgrade: Ability that allows Nathan to modify things by "upgrading" them to a desired state.
 * Superhuman Augmentation: By upgrading himself, he can change his stat spread by enhancing some stats (such as strength, speed, magical defense, physical defense, and magical attack) at the cost of reducing others. He cannot, however, change his stat total.
 * Transmutation: This allows him to change an individual's appearance, physical stats and mind.
 * Memory Erasure: While touching someone's head, Nathan can change the memories of an individual and can also erase them at will. He can also force the target to experience memories.
 * Shapeshift: By using Upgrade on himself, Nathan can change his appearance.
 * Rewrite: Nathan can use Upgrade on enchanted/magical objects, changing their functions.
 * Emerald Eye/The Eyes of Truth: Also known as "The Eyes of the Spirits" and "The eyes that can see through all things in the universe", is a powerful magic eye that Nathan obtained as a gift by the one that sent him to Mid-Gaia. It allows him to perceive the mana floating in the atmosphere, the leylines, information about the target's true name and their stats, such as Magical defense, Physical defense, Level, Mana, Health, Class, Abilities, Passives, and Speed.
 * Drug Resistance: Thanks to having trained his body extensively by consuming massive amounts of toxic mushrooms, Nathan is immune or incredibly resistant to the effect of most poisons and drugs. This is what allows him to use his alchemical grenades to great effect, as the fumes that are debilitating to others have absolutely no effect on Nathan.
 * Level Cap Break: Unknown, even to the others or himself, because they’re from another world, they can level up as much as he wants without having a level limit, and as a male hero, he can also increase the level cap of others. Nathan does the latter for his party members by having sex with them, though he has yet to find this out.  Yet.
 * Increased EXP Gain:  Being from another world, he and his party members to gain double the EXP, stacking multiplicatively with the other heroes if they are in the same party.
 * Elemental Magic: Nathan’s Elemental Magic is of the Earth and Plants, enabling him to grow and control plants at will.  His attacks are:
 * Vine Trap:  Vines shoot out of the ground and hold the enemy for as long as needed.
 * Hedge Wall:  A hedge wall of plants and vines that act as a barrier.  Is weak against fire and lightning.
 * Bio-Manipulation:  After defeating a Demon Tree, he gained the ability to alter the bio functions of plants and possibly Alchemically created monsters and plants.
 * Bio-Manipulation:  After defeating a Demon Tree, he gained the ability to alter the bio functions of plants and possibly Alchemically created monsters and plants.

Skills

 * Keen Intellect
 * Farming Knowledge
 * Alchemy:  Nathan is a skilled alchemist due to having copied the skill from Watilda, a master alchemist, while regrowing both of his arms in Zoltain room. He is able to magically "transmute" matter into other forms, as seen for example when he turns a lead pipe into a key.  He’s also used this to build his new home as well as to make a farm in days rather than weeks or a month. He is also a capable creator of airborne poisons, such as an aphrodisiac that makes the target too sexually excited to fight, or a deadly paralytic agent. He keeps them in flasks that he shatters against the ground when needed, letting the deadly vapors spread. He also has needles to inject the poisons directly into a target for added effect.
 * Holy Sword: Nathan is a skilled swordsman due to having copied the skill from Kurena Shizuku while regrowing her arm. While the skill nowhere near Kurena's level and Nathan does not have the ability to defeat her in an honest sword fight, his skill is sufficient enough to defeat nearly anyone else with a sword, especially when he reallocates his stats before a fight.
 * Sex Maniac:  Not a Job he wanted, but it initially was gained when his group had fallen in love with him.  This trigged an accidental job class known as Sex Maniac.  Though the added bonus was Enhanced Durability and Stamina as well as Lover Potency.  This though has made him a bit depressed, feeling that he’s been labeled a pervert.  Even though he’s not against the idea of a harem.
 * Job Class:  Farmer
 * Soil Management
 * Soil Restoration
 * Automatic Restoration
 * Large-scale Cultivation
 * Improved Scale
 * Contamination Conversion
 * Enhanced Fertilization
 * Selective Breeding

Equipment

 * Demeter Familia Brand tattoo
 * Cleric Farmer Armor

 * Saw Sword
 * Scythe
 * Trowl
 * Shovel Sword
 * Georugius:  A Gauntlet Nathan gained after obtaining Demeter’s Blessing.  As long as his mana hasn’t exhausted, Nathan can heal injuries automatically without him encanting.  The armor also allows him to send spells up to a meter away that would otherwise require physical contact.
