Erich Weiss Fuchs, The Fallen Heir
Erich Weiss
Age: 24
Physical Appearance: Red, long hair, that he keeps tied in a single braid, deep cold blue eyes and an ivory white skin. Standing at 1,95m, Erich has a tall, athletic body. His fencing hobby gave him a great stamina, flexibility and agility. His appearance, more specifically his deep red hair and his delicate face, often draw a lot of attention, both from women and men (the latter often provoking and messing with him), but his penetrating blue eyes and his cold expression mostly always turn people away from him.
Unit Profession: Medic
Personality: Some say that his personality matches his distant, cold blue eyes, others say that a devil hides under that blood red hair. The fact is that Erich is a very unique person. He has a cold and calculating mentality but at the same time, he can be surprisingly friendly and warm to valorous companions and friends, even joking around and being a very lively guy. One thing that everyone agrees though, is his penchant for blood and his somewhat sadistic behavior. Nobody knows if he actually likes or if he doesn't really care about being cruel, one thing everyone knows is that Erich can be very cold and cruel if you stand in his way.
Due to being raised in a traditional family, coming from a wealthy and noble lineage, Erich knows how to be polite and formal when needed and is very intelligent. But the time he passed serving as a medic and mercenary, after him abandoning the family made him learn to be cunning and calculating.
History: Erich was born into an old and traditional lineage coming all the way from the nobles from old noble houses from Germany. Obviously, his upbringing was fit of someone born in a wealthy family, private tutors, books, fencing, he had the best things the money and status could buy. Erich was always the sole heir of the family, and as such, he was expected to be a perfect gentleman: intelligent, courteous, polite yet firm on his decisions, and above everything else, be a beacon, a role model for his compatriots to follow. At merely 18 years he was already a surgeon, and a damn good one, thanks to the instruction received from the best tutors and medics around.
When the war began, his family supported the country with all their forces, as it was expected. That included sending the young and still innocent Erich to the war to serve as a medic.
There is a saying that the war can change a person. This saying couldn't be more accurate for the young Erich. Living his entire life being treated differently, practically on his own world, separated from the brutality and violence from the normal world, reality hit him hard. He had to kill many men while serving. Both enemies and allies, those too wounded to be able to survive even with intensive medical care. As a way to protect his own mind from all that, he became the cold, cruel person he is today. Doing what it needed to be done to both ensure his survival and complete his duty as a soldier, he killed, saved, ignored orders, lied and even tortured. Everything with the same cold eyes. Obviously, as the time passed, he stopped caring about being cruel, sometimes even doing things that others could perceive as unnecessarily cruel.
After the end of the war, a completely different Erich returned home only to see what the war did with his once proud family. With the German Mark worth even less each day that passed, the family that once was proud to support their compatriots was found participating in political schemes, bribes and doing whatever they could to maintain their wealth, not caring about their country at all. Erich slowly watched his family's downfall, as they lost everything they had: their money, their lands, their status and even their honor.
Cutting all ties he had with his family, he adopted the surname "Fuchs", due to his red hair. He didn't wanted to carry his family's sins with him, as he had nothing to do with their actions. His name was his alone. Without having anything left in Germany, he became a mercenary. As a superb surgeon, his outstanding long range marksmanship and especially the way he used a rapier to fight, cutting his foe in order to incapacitate and inflict the maximum of pain before killing it, made his fame rise between the mercenaries.
His wanderings led him to a country called Borovia, which he was almost instantly hired as a mercenary for one of the barons on Asnio, the capital of Borovia. Not interested on the political side, he readily accepted the job. It was a good proposal, after all, it would give him food, equipment and somewhere to sleep. Surgeons of his caliber were rare to find, especially working as a mercenary. Thanks to his skills both as a marksman and as a medic, he quickly was invited to be on the Blackshirt army, a paramilitary group that answered to the Baron alone. Again, he had no reason to refuse, and so he accepted the proposal.
His friendly and warm attitude towards the other Blackshirt members would quickly earn him their trust and friendship. He didn't cared about who you were or where you were born. The only thing that mattered was that they would work together. Life was good for him, he had friends, a place to live, was respected as a Blackshirt... But he knew that things could change in the blink of an eye, so he was always prepared for the worse. Noble and wealthy families can fall in a matter of months, the same is true for any government or organization.
