[b]Personality:[/b] Arik Can be a very friendly man, when he isn't patting himself on the back. Years of wins in his boxing days inflated his ego and caused him to grow quite arrogant. This isn't to say he can't appreciate others doing a good job, but it does mean he enjoys being the one to get the job done. He believes violence can solve any situation, but at the same time he can be gentle and quite the romantic toward whichever man or woman catches his interest.
[b]History:[/b] Arik grew up in a broken home in the slums. His father abused him verbally and physically, and his mother ignored him completely. This went on until he was the age of fifteen, when Arik began joining some small underground fight clubs. He needed to take his rage and frustration out, and the fights were a perfect solution for him. After a small while, Arik learned that he had some skill, and began to work out in order to get closer to his potential. After Arik returned home late one night, his father started screaming at him, demanding to know where he had been. When Arik refused to answer and attempted to walk past, his father threw a punch, which Arik blocked and countered with a jab to the stomach. His father fell over, clenching his gut, as his mother broke out into tears from the fighting. Without a word, Arik packed a bag of his things and left home. At age eighteen, Arik had joined competitive boxing, and was earning a good amount of prize money. This lasted until he was twenty-three, when Arik killed his opponent in the ring. He was banned from his division, but a talent scout had approached him afterward, saying he thought Arik's skills could be put to good use, something about a project Freelancer. Arik agreed, needing a new source of income, and was onboard the Mother of Invention within a week.
[b]Other:[/b] Arik had a neural interface installed in the back of his head, allowing a special plug in his helmet to connect and link his mind to the suit, making movement easier and more natural while also allowing him suit energy management and other such things, if he so chooses.
