Being one of the oldest Arigasu, Ratchet is a very wise and skilled medic. He's got a good spirit and dedicates his life to his job. All though he does sometimes get run down from the pressure, it is actually one source of motivation. Ratchet prides in his work and usually works at the fastest pace he can possibly manage whether or not he feels pressured, stressed, or tired. Due to valuing life, he tries to repair and save everyone to the best of the ability, even in the times it may be out of his control. Ratchet is so dedicated that he consistently puts naps as a second priority even when he himself knows it deteriorates his heath. Ratchet is also fairly well rounded in combat, all though he's not exactly as skilled as some of the other younger warriors out there. He can fight well enough to escape or hold others off, but he usually doesn't try to tackle an enemy or a group of them head on unless he sees no other choice. Ratchet does have a bit of a temper and CAN get reckless when he's determined to see through a task. Luckily, he's smart enough (typically) to know when enough is enough. The medic is more than capable of working in almost any environment, and is never afraid to kill if he really must. Being agile and good with his paws, he can handle small weapons/arms well and use his resourcefulness as an edge in combat. Ratchet may come off as a grumpy old cat at times, but this is merely because he is serious and focused. He's actually rather calm and friendly to be around when you catch him in a relaxed, stress free mood. Ratchet also tends to have his occasional sarcastic or witty moments. Additionally, some amount of stress and/or pressures always lingers on his shoulders, and this will often influence his mood, but he is always willing to talk. Ratchet recognizes that some find it hard to approach him, and all though he doesn't mind being social when times are appropriate, Ratchet often prefers keeping to himself or visiting small groups of people at a time. He does not appreciate large crowds/masses unless he has no choices in it. On his bad days, Ratchet can be a pretty intimidating cat to be around, but once you get past all the rough edges, he's a pretty smart S.O.B. He's got a lot of insight and experience to back his skills too.

Trained by his father in mechanics outside of his education, Ratchet spent the majority of his most youthful days studying under Fleck, Kojima's best trained medic, in hope of providing more than just an expendable soldier to the war. Not much else is really known about this cat as he tends to keep his guarded past under lock and key.

His story will play out through the three novella series of Fake Empire, and I'll eventully give him a character summary here!
