Name: Darius Sebastian Hayes
Age: 28
Race: Human (Proxima Centari System)
Sex: Male
Character Trait: Tenacity
Character Personality: If Darius were to be summed up in a word, that word would be "driven". He's an incredibly motivated individual that strives to be his best and do his best, to be a morally upright person with no regrets with which to look back on. This makes him responsible and dependable, a notable high-achiever. Darius is a man that doesn't take shortcuts and won't allow himself to rest until all the work is done and all the preparations are finished. Of course, this makes him high-strung and feel incredibly guilty for failures outside of his control.
While this behavior is admirable he also expects the same behavior of those around him and won't tolerate laziness among his peers. This can make him seem serious and demanding, which is true, in his best moments he's quite conservative and doesn't quite cut loose like others of his age might. Also an incredible nag and a bit of an adult babysitter. Still, his loyalty and willingness to give 100% all day every day make him a valuable friend to turn to in need.
Character Background: Darius hails from Proxima Centari, his birth home before the war beat humanity back to Old System in his early teenage years. Despite his current demeanor, Darius was a hellion in his youth, sparked by the tension that the incoming threat of the Bulwark had on his family. He shaped up quickly around the end of highschool when he was arrested and charged for starting fights which put him on the straight and narrow.
Darius's life after that was fairly mundane. He went to the University of Patowomak, Concord County of Mars, where he earned a Bachelor's degree in Business Analytics and began work as a life insurance salesman. He married his college sweetheart, Victoria, and at the age of 25 they had their son Julius. With the Bulwark encroaching Darius became more and more patriotic with a new family to be responsible for and began preparing for enlistment by hitting the gym and getting his affairs in order. When he truly felt ready and the draft came up with his number on it, Darius volunteered instead. A symbolic gesture mostly, but an important one.
Curio: Darius continues to wear his wedding ring even in the midst of heated combat, a stark reminder of what he's fighting to protect.
Appearance
Darius Hayes is a larger gentleman, standing at a solid height of 6'1" and weighing 205lbs. His stocky frame is toned from his workup before volunteering with light brown skin. Not seeing his first battle yet, he is absent of scarring save for a large gash up his arm he received in a motor scooter accident as a teen. A tattoo of a skull is emblazoned across his forearm, a relic from his past as a rebel without a cause. Darius's hair is shaved down to a razor fade (by choice beforehand, not through processing) and would be an inky black if it were long enough to display itself prominently. He has a steely gaze and serious face much of the time.
