I am not quite sure what I am going to write because I did not think of anything to write first, in fact this line is being made up on the spot. and I have no idea where my mind is going to take this so bear with me now.

Hello people and welcome to the legendary story of the NAT,

For those of you who don't know or don't remember the NAT, I can explain what it is in a little bit of detail. First off it started as a series of unfinnished game ideas that I made up when I played pretend in my back yard, back in the days before I went to a school as opposed to being home schooled (9th grade). The idea grew into a very large group of characters I began to give nicknames to. These characters at one point were very real and were actually different sides of my personality, the kind of things I went through due to lack of anyone to talk to or hang out with... On one occasion I went to a summer camp where I gave myself the nickname Notorious Nate, and eventually people introduced me to the idea of a person thats name was Notiorious B.I.G. And while, I must admit, I still don't really know who that person is (other than a musician), I came to like the idea of a three letter addition to the name. Thus began my fascination with the suffix NAT that is added to all of my characters.

The Beginning. After using the suffix in online games I began to shorten it from N.A.T. to NAT because the .'s got verry annoying and sometimes impossible to use, you try writing -SM)Rudra=- Lt. Notorious N.A.T. [DL-3] as a character name and make it fit in anything on todays online game community. Nut those were the days of Tachyon, oh I miss them so, I used to be well respected and even feared for my tactics with my Bora Warhammer.

The Awakening. I began to play a game called Ragnarok Online, I spent much time playing and developing characters that were moddeled after my many personalities, and loved messing around with all of them. At one time I payed for it and played through many levels and even got to the 2-1 job classes, though at the time the 2-2 classes were not quite out yet on the international server. But eventually I payed again and got a t-shirt for it, I began to play and get good at it, people loved me for what I was able to do with such a low amount of zeny. I made up for a lack of equipment by using pure skill aqquired through many hours of playing and many great friends helping me learn how to play right. I eventually became a level 90 Full Support Priest, mind you this is no easy task, and I am very proud of what I was able to accomplish. Eventually I gained money and was able to buy a few much needed items to increase my power and enable myself to raise many other classes as well.

The Downfall. Soon though ragnarok was unable to be payed for by me due to a lack of credit cards and of the ability to secure work in this place. There were many other online games I played and used the nicknames over and over... and even made up a few new ones. I played a great many games and became quite good at leanring and mastering new online games. Though some were not able to support capital NAT's at the end of my character names. This made me sad but I played anyway.

The Legend Reborn, The Heroes Reawakened. The legend on RO is now long gone as I sit and remember what it was I used to be known for... what I gave up. I went on to other games and have recently begun to play FFXI (Midgardsormr server, San D'Oria, Male Hume, character name is: Shoriden) I havve not yet reached the level to which I always grow when I play an online game with FFXI, but that day is coming.

The Truth of the Legend. Though mostly for my own purposes in online games the characters of NAT once had their personalities put to the test. I had at one point made a website ish thingy that I roleplayed the characters I created on, and invited a few friends to join. things began to play out a very complex story I have thought about for a very long time. I still remember how it goes and who is who, and I remember those that joined and what parts they played in the whole scheme of things.

The Dream. My ultimate dream is to revive the ancient story in written form or in visual form someday. I have the whole scheme written out in my head. I know exactly what it would be like. I just need to write it down... something which has been lacking from my creativity for as long as I can remember. My imaginations can only be expressed properly through me telling them... but I feel that if they were put into live action things could be very much better. Though... some of the effect of my words could be lost. My anime esque style would probably throw a lot of people off in movie form.

The End. Well thats about all I can say about it. this was a lot longer than I expected but I felt inspired to write which happenss on occasion and I wanted to have it be known that I still exist and that my creativity is still flowing like it used to when I was young. For those who knew me back in the day when all I knew was in what I made up, there is still that chance you could meet that side again if you wish it. The creativity is somewhat different and my multi-personality is more or less gone... now theres only three of me, King, Dolgoth, and Notorious. Those that know them should know what I mean, and how that affects me, and quite probably will know when I am which ones of them.

I feel this random excursion has been quite entertaining and fulfilling for me. I hope you readers have enjoyed this story and maybe you understand a little about my past and where my nickname comes from.

Peace everyone.
