Age: 27
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Job: Marine, Feline

Appearance: Bright blue eyes, which often appear bloodshot. Military short dark blond hair and a quite Caucasian complexion. If not on duty he usually wears simple, one colored clothes, trying for a good mix of comfort, mobility and fashion.
Nasken is very well trained, but not overly bulky, and his motions are usually full of barely controlled energy. He often looks grumpily annoyed, sometimes even downright Angry. But of course he too has his good days.

Bio: Nasken Ferros was born from an artificial womb. His parents are two (male) Technicians, but he was mostly raised by forest parents.
His childhood was nothing unusual, though he had an small empathic Talent, which often confused his around many people or people with strong emotional outbursts. And thus, since he lacked most social and technical talent, but was always a natural at sports, he joined the Marines.
It was six years ago, Nasken a fresh Bird, when they had to evacuate a small science team from a planet they were testing for colonization. At first everything went well, but a failure in Intelligence analysis put them into a tight spot between two enemy groups. While waiting for reinforcement, they got overwhelmed and a had to resort to a close quarter fight which killed two of Nasken's comrades and one scientist. Nasken himself had been tackled and rolled on the ground, one knife between both fighters... Nasken won, but never was the same again. His empathy forcing him to witness the others dying emotions.
Normally people would be repelled and nauseated by such a thing, but for some odd reason, Nasken was fascinated... captivated...
Of course he knew this was not normal, that he should seek out help and counsel... but he feared he'd never were allowed to serve in a combat again... and such a combat would be the only chance to experience that again. Nasked asked for special training to take up the spot as a scout, and while suffering mentally each minute ever since, he can't help but anticipating the next conflict, the next chance to kill.

Other Important Facts: Nasken of course blames his human self as the reason for his odd urge.
Only extensive meditations and training in the Zen like arts help him to carry out an almost normal live.
He probably outha finally find counsel, though this probably will take quite some effort of will after all this time of silence.

p.s. I hope I am not too tired to get this, probably controversial, char across right. To make it clear, he is not a sociopathic murderer. He just is a little bit addiction to the empathic experience of killing, but not in danger of shedding of his cultural boundaries and killing without justification.
