Nathan Windsor

A character in the PbP game Black Lagoon: Cherry Blossom Express

A former private eye from Miami, though not a particularily good one - too nosy for his own good, too fast and loose with his work ethics, too much of an adrenaline junkie (gets a kick out of being shot at). An escort job to South America turned sour when his client got killed in a pirate attack (s'alright, really, he hated the stuck-up bastard anyway) and he went missing together with the late client's shipment of diamonds; he was actually taken hostage, only nobody thought to inform the authorities who naturally assumed the obvious, at which point he figured he might as well be guilty of what he was wanted for. The next anyone heard of him, he turned up in Hong Kong, now running with the pirates.

He's a lean, tanned man of medium height in his early thirties, relaxed and casual, kinda good-looking in a scruffy sort of way, with wavy brown hair in a short ponytail, a permanent stubble and a roguish grin. He wears faded black jeans and sneakers, black sleeveless T-shirts and a specific brand of red-and-white Hawaiian shirts (as a sort of a mass-produced lucky charm), always unbuttoned, and mirrorshades the same shade of green as his eyes. Likes to use two customized CZ-97Bs, John Woo style, and takes pride in being teased about it. He's always leaning against something when he stands, tilts the chair back when he sits, and always chews a stick of gum (a habit he took up when he quit smoking).
