Name: Richard "Rick" Karns

Age: 21 

country: United States, more specifically Anchorage, Alaska. 

looks: Most would describe him as ruggedly hansom. Rick is tall, about 6'5, broad shouldered, and covered in muscle. His eyes are gentle and a dark green. His hair has just grown past the military crew cut, about an inch overall, and has begun to fill in with the dirty blond of his youth. Facially, he has strong, masculine features with a strong jaw. Rick as one tattoo located on his right bicep. It is a tribute to a friend and fellow squad mate who died during battle. It is a banner wrapped around a stylized sword that reads "R.I.P. Max Howell"

personality: When in front of other people he is a generally happy guy. He cracks some jokes, drinks some beers, and is pretty fun to hang around. However once alone, he tends to get depressed and drinks a little more than he should. Due to what happened during his time in the army he sometimes gets shakes and will hide until they are over, not wanting to worry people. At the core of it, Richard suffers from survivors guilt and in essence is a "hurting hero".

short history:Ever since he could remember, Rick and his best friend Max wanted to get into the military. They would go to the gym and train, get good grades in school, and when they were old enough, go to the shooting range. When the time came and they were old enough to enlist, they did. They both were excepted and passed boot camp with flying colors. During their military career, several reenlistment's, Rick got as high as sergeant but Max never got any higher than a private. During their last tour of duty, the squad under Ricks command got hit by an ambush. Rick was the only survivor. Due to the groups position, a small village of the main city, it was a perfect staging area for the enemy to launch attacks. Rick held the line for days, until backup finally found its way. Afterwards Rick was awarded the Silver Star and had a relatively quite time for the rest of his career, but the damage was done. Rick didn't reenlist and went home. After he went home, he realized he didn't really connect with people, there was just so damn many of them. After he heard about the experiment Rick decided that it was perfect. He signed up and was excepted shortly after.

other: Has nightmares and shakes but is not diagnosed with PTSD, the loss of his friends and all the death just shook him up quite a bit. Can be seen jogging around the town from time to time, once a military always a military. Lastly his personality description should be "The Hurting Hero" or something along those lines.
