— ABOUT It doesn't seem so long ago that Alda was living a fairly normal life--and really, it isn't, although whether or not living most of your life in a military intelligence team is 'normal' is up for debate. Designed to face the cruelly cold climate of Nitus IV, Alda was an isolated pawn in a literal and figurative cold war, supporting his team as resident medic as they all kept sharp eyes on the various outposts around the tiny planet, waiting for someone to make a move to annex the colonies peppering that part of the galaxy. Combat was rare, although when it did spark it lacked no brutality; outside of sneaking around in the snow, however, the assignment was rather dull. As the tides turned and fronts changed places around the galaxy, operations on Nitus IV became increasingly obsolete, and Alda's team was finally recalled for placement elsewhere. But, there was a catch: unbeknownst to the personnel, their higher faction had little intention of allowing even the tiniest secret to escape, and the whole team was slated for a memory wipe. Only Alda, with his extensive medical study, realized what was happening, but without a chance to warn his teammates it was all he could do to escape the compound alone. Memory of that fateful night haunts Alda to this day, wracking him with a survivor's guilt regularly. In all likelihood there was nothing he could have done to help, and he probably would have perished himself had he tried. Yet he still wonders, was there anything, anything he could have done to protect the only people he had ever really known .... For the first time in his entire life, Alda is wholly alone, slinking between stars in search of somewhere to safely lie low and wrestle his guilt in peace. — ABILITIES —NOTES - Made in a lab and destined for Nitus IV, Alda has been trained since childhood and has never known a life outside of any military organization. It's not really something he's worried about or regrets, but it has had some unfortunate effects on him; the need to follow orders has been impressed upon him deeply, and even now that he's escaped, he has a hard time sticking up for himself against strangers, even in small things. He also doesn't know much about civilian life, or even climates other than tundra .... there's a lot to learn. - Although Alda does fine in the cold thanks to his adaptations, these become a problem when placed in even sort of hot climates. Alda gets warm very quickly, and is always at risk of heatstroke in these places; it's untested, but there's a high likelihood he would not survive a true desert planet for more than a few difficult days. | SPECIES: mod human HEIGHT: 5'11" WEIGHT: trim PHYSIQUE: fairly fit BIRTHDAY: [redacted] > dark skin and sclera, with a blue tint. > exceedingly dextrous. > loves soft new-age music. > unnaturally graceful. > has extremely specific tastes in colours .... > hates to cry. |
