Character Profiles

[Kokuten]

Gaian Name: Kokuten

Asher Orkin Westwood

-General Information

Age: 24
Height: 5'2"
Weight: 190 lb.
Species: Terran
Job: Brawler - Engineer
Rank: Private

-Psychological Characteristics

Personality: In combat, Asher can be seen as a disillusioned nutcase. Despite even the most atrociously hopeless situations, he'll believe that his squad still has the upper hand, simply because he is with them. This egotistical side tends to empower his desires to prove himself by slaughtering and killing his enemies in the most efficiently brutal way possible. Simply enough, he is the ideal soldier, boisterous, confident, and willing to kill almost anything with a pulse. Needless to say, this often makes others very wary of him in combat.

Outside combat, Asher can possibly be more enjoyable to be around. If others can take his crude, unappealing nature without being offended, he can be a fun person[generally]. Women will generally be subject to comments of their most appealing features[to him], and men will generally be subject to comments of their most unappealing features.

In general, he is an emotional casket, burying anything that actually affects him under the barbaric and crude exterior. Generally, this builds for a negative psyche, but tends to only power his fiery nature in violent ways.

Likes: General chaos, action, challenging hobbies, his sleep, women, good-looking women, dark-skinned women, warm meals, cold beers, and a good atmospehre.

Dislikes: Extended periods of nothing happening, guard duty, deep pools of water, anything of the biologically modified variety, cold food, warm beer, effeminate men, Drathonians, and an overly serious atmosphere.

Goals: To become so professed in battle that his enemies will fear the very mention of his name.

-History

Asher was born on Surandan, a peaceful planet, and a good place to raise a young mind like himself. His father ran a shipping company that handled dealings with most of the system, while his mother took care of him and his sister at home. For most of his early life, Asher lived a wonderful life, having many friends and living with a loving family. There were many days when worries of the rest of the galaxy seemed so distant.

That was until one day, at age 9, he found school to be cancelled due to an emergent crisis planetwide. He and the rest of his friends were rushed home, but when he arrived to his families apartment, he was confronted with a horrific sight.

His sister, disfigured by some fashion, was eating out the insides of their dead mother. It wasn't long before she set her sights on him as well, but Asher was not stupid, he quickly grabbed a bat from the corner, and beat what he knew as his sister into a bloody pulp of irrecognizable flesh. Afterwards, he waited in his bedroom for his father to return home, accompanied only by the screams of people down the hall, the sounds of violence, and the horrible sounds of chaos out side his window.

For six days, he waited for his father, but his father never came. On the seventh day, he was forced under his bed when something broke into his room. Luckily for him, it was people, and well-equipped at that. They were survivors of whatever had destroyed his life, and they were looking for supplies, and instead, found a scared little boy, shivering violent in fear and tears under his bed.

It was that day that Asher found a new family, those that found him, and began a new life of surviving the abominations that roamed the world he lived on. For fifteen years, he fought, bled, and nearly dead serveral times trying to assure his own survival. Along the way he lost several of his family, and soon, he began to accept the death, the destruction, and the mayhem. He adapted and eventually became accustomed to it.

Now, the last of his family rests with the monsters that were once his planetkin. He survives alone, using technical expertise built from years of hands-on training, and brutal, merciless CQC hit-and-run tactics.

Hetzer Johannes Thalberg

-General Information

Age: 26
Height: 6'5"
Weight: 280 lb.
Species: Terran
Job: Pilot
Rank: Private

-Psychological Characteristics

Personality: Hetzer, despite being quite large and intimidating, is fairly shy. Generally, he tries to keep quiet to avoid attention to his already large size, which at times he is ashame of. Though the young Thalberg is far from meek, what he lacks for in words, he makes up for action. He is hard-working, dutiful, and willing to make sacrifices for the good of others as he is not one to displease. Over all, Hetzer is a gentle giant, large, yet very warm.

However, Hetzer can be quite gullible a times, mistakenly projecting his own kindess onto others and expecting them to be truthful with him. This sometimes leads to the good-natured man to be taken advantage, and at worst times, hurt.

Likes: Quiet time, sleeping, playing games, enjoying times with others, fishing, relaxed atmosphers, orderly situations, working hard, and the occasional beer.

Dislikes: Standing amongst large crowds, being rediculed, having to verbally defend himself, in-fighting.

Goals: To serve his people in the greatest and most significant way possible. Also to open up a bar.

-History

Despite his name, Hetzer was actually born in the small town of Waverly, Alabama in the U.S.A. Son of an German doctor, and a states-born para-legal, Hetzer started his life in a fairly affluent home. For the first few years of life, he showed signs of being a bright and intelligent boy, and his parents began to invest heavily into his schooling. So much so, that his father took him off to see a foreign world to expand the young man's view of the universe. Though, it was around this time the Drathonian's began their treacherous attacks against the Terran's and ultimately wiping out everything that both father and son had ever known and cared for.

After the attacks, Hetzer's care was placed in the soley on the father, who after the attacks, had little time for family matters due to professional repsonsibility. As such, Hetzer raised himself, always working himself hard just to gain a bit of his father's recognition and time. Even with the strained relationship, Hetzer was always faithful when it came to the last bit of family he had left. This became especially apparent as Mr. Thalberb(Hetzer's father) became increasingly ill as he got older. The younger Thalberg decided to take up a job as a shuttle pilot for a small company to pay for everything needed to keep his father going, but it could not last. The father who had raised Hetzer died when he was 25, and shortly after, Hetzer joined the military.

-Physical Appearance

Head - Bald head; large, light-brown, bushy beard that conceals his mouth when closed; brilliant, light-blue eyes; bushy light-brown eyebrows; fairly manly facial features, despite the smoothness of his face.

Body - Large, light-tan, and massive all around. Wide shoulders. His muscles are generally toned instead of built. Has large hands and feet.
