Nathan Mapping

Nathan Mapping, mononymously known as Nathan or Matthew is a Hungarian former mapper based in Várpalota, Hungary. He is mostly notable for his wikia achievements rather than the achievements on his channel.

Early life
I was born on 24th September 2004 in Várpalota to dad and mom. There are rumours in my family that I'm of Romanian descent from my dad's side, and Italian & German descent from my mom's side.

Between 2004 and March 2008 I was raised in the town of Pétfürdő. This time of my life had some impact on me due to living together with my grandmother who has been such an inspirational person through my first twelve years of existance. However, my parents decided to move back to Várpalota in March 2008 due to unknown reasons. We were living together with my grandparents from my moms's side. This period of my life could easily be described as the "I'm happy but my grandparents are alway arguing" era.

Studies
I began my studies in September 2011 in a school full of people who were privileged by society. I ended up as the weirdo who needs to be bullied for no apparent reason right in the first year. I have been bullied for 3 years, however following this I became the outcast of the class and experienced social rejection by roughly 22 people. This has escalated quickly and by fifth grade I considered suicide as the final solution. I have tried to attempt it four times in that year, with all times ending with me putting down the knife that was pointing at my stomach and was ready to stab me there. This nightmare eventually ended at that year. The whole thing began in March 2016 with me coming home with tears falling down on my cheeks. My mom was at home, and she knew that something was happening, or at least something happened. I then asked her about the purpose of my life, and she knew that this probably has been going not for days, but months or even years. Her solution was to change schools, which I agreed in with her.

I switched schools and continued my studies there from September 2016 onwards. That was the moment of my life when I felt like I finally arrived where I have always wanted to be. I finally made friends, and eventually rose to fame in my school. I have performed poems in both English and Hungarian. In March 2018 I met a guy I considered to be my best friend, however he eventually betrayed me and started telling me the same things I have been running away from in my previous school. This has ended in June 2019 when I officially graduated from primary school, leaving all my pain there.

I continued my studies in a very famous high school in Székesfehérvár. I finally managed to find not only one, but three people there whose lives are very similar to mine, thanks to my type of class making dormitory a mandatory thing. I finally felt understood there with caring people surrounding me. I managed to drop all the suicidal thoughts and I felt somewhat "happy" for once in my life. This all came to a halt in March 2020 due to the currently ongoing COVID-19 pandemic around the globe.

Success on Discord
I have been available on Discord since June 2019 however I did not become really active until 3 months later.

The "big change"
During the 18th July 2020 I was doing the usual things I do at home (basically scrolling through discord notifications, listening to music). I accidentally clicked on a ballad performed in French that I didn't understand in terms of words, but I felt like the song itself stabbed me in the heart. I realised that over the years all my insecurities had been just hidden away even from myself, and that I have been wasting all my life on useless things. I took a 1 day break from discord to reconsider what I want to do and, of course, it was harder than I thought it would be. However I have found another song that had a cataclysmic effect on me. I finally realised that the thing I want to do is to...well sing. I want to sing either about happy things or sad memories, positive feelings or depressed things. I want to creat something people can truly connect with, I want to write all of the insecurities, all of the pain from the past out of me. So I have started to try to write lyrics for songs.

Personal life
I have been in a relationship with a girl between October 2017 and September 2018. The relationship ended with the girl stating that I don't love her anymore.

I have come out as bisexual on 26th February, firstly to my closest friends. On 20th June 2021, I came out as genderqueer to other fellow MBU directors.

Mapping
I found out about mapping late 2014 or early 2015 and I felt like this is something I want to do. I was passionate about it and eventually began practicing. However I have never published a video until mid-June 2016, when I have put out the first episode of my past series that was full of clichés. However I continued because I wanted to do it, even though I knew that it was shit. I have been on that channel for almost 3 months, but eventually I have logged out without memorizing my password therefore losing that channel. And as school started, I didn't have time to make videos, therefore I had to give up with mapping for a while. I have managed to rejoin the community in November 2018 on my current channel. A major blow in terms of subscribers and views hasn't been achieved.

I announced on the 16th April, 2021 that I'd not be doing mapping anymore. This was due to my lack of interest and time as well as plans on other projects such as running the Altervision Song Contest.

My style has been influenced by many mappers, with the most notable mappers being Finn Mapper, MikiPL004 and Frkon.

On the wiki
I joined the wiki on 7th March 2019, at the beginning I only participated in Mappervision. However, ever since then I have become more and more active there.

On 26th June 2020 I have been promoted to Chat moderator on the wiki, and Junior moderator on TFoE Discord server.
