APPEARANCE: Always wearing a matching outfit, Yamaoka takes after both of his parents. If he's not wearing a nice shirt with pants that's very aesthetically pleasing, he'll be wearing a suit and tie, a tradition his father always wanted him to uphold. He always tries to dress appropriately, if not slightly better than expected, for any given situation.



PERSONALITY: Much more people-oriented than his father (he gets it from his mother) Yamaoka is a very friendly person to everyone he meets. That isn't to say he's an easy person to fool, or if you're not nice he'll let it slide, no, not at all. When provoked or bothered, he can get much more serious and bring people down with the best of the sarcasm offered to him by his father.


BACKGROUND: His parents both knew one another from several events in their past, and had always been close friends. Once they got a bit older, they decided to take their relationship a bit further and found out that the two personalities didn't match, but in that mismatchment there was a great deal of harmony. Nate named Yamaoka after his father's butler, the man who changed his life entirely as well as sacrificed himself; name that's very hard to live up to.

Yamaoka's upbringing was very special. Both his parents were very active and loving to him, but they always remembered to be parents first and friends second. His schooling was done at a variety of different schools, because as his parents can tell you, every opportunity to meet people of different types is an opportunity for advancement. He was taken to different schools throughout the world during the years of his life, something most people would find daunting, but Yamaoka always found a way to meet new people and learn more about them. He learned a bit of language and culture from every person he met, something he always carries with him as he proceeds through the world.

His father would like for him to one day take over the company that his parents left, but wouldn't ever force upon him that responsibility. His mother modeled a lot and now designs fashion for various nations around the globe, so she's happy as can be that he's taken even a slight interest in just making his clothes match.
