Personality:
Kas is a driven individual with a steel bound willpower, which is often mistaken as stubbornness. He is an optimist at heart, though he often hides this under a layer of healthy cynicism bourne from age. Around people he is easy going enjoying the company, something he values especially after all these years of seeing his friends die. He does have adrenaline seeking tendencies somewhat balanced by a respect for risks which can only be learned by experience.
Though his years at war have not left him completely emotionally unscathed, having become somewhat desensitized to violence and death, along with his pragmatic nature, can make him come off as cruel at times, often in conflict with his own people liking nature. He does suffer heavily from survivor's guilt, and it is something he battles every waking moment...
Bio:
If one ever saw Kas during his younger days no one would have predicted that he would become the disgruntled scrapper he would become in the future. He was a slight bookish boy, tall and lithe in build. He had a reserved tone, only his eyes gave a hint to his core nature, they glowed with the embers of a willpower and drive that is rare. In the future it would be due this that he would survive where many wouldn’t, for better or for worse
If the circumstances had been different, he might have become someone else, possibly a doctor. Yet his fate was defined by that moment, that day when the fragile security that he and many within Feledine shared. Everything was reduced to rubble within a year, torn away and trampled under the the feet of a horde of etrangers. Everything that mattered to him reduced to dust, everyone he knew skulls littering the wasted soil. Only he survived where others did not, and he cursed himself and the etrangers for it.
Having nothing to lose, he threw himself into the army. He wasn't an outstanding fighter, nor was he an excellent tactician, though he would become both in time. The one thing he had was an outstanding tenacity, he would keep on going where others fell, he would remain standing where others would collapse. It was only natural he was in the rearguard. Over the years he would fight in one lost cause after the other, victories few and fleeting. He would lose many friends , brothers, sisters to the fires of war. Still he continued to fight, each death, each life, each sacrifice only giving him more of a reason to keep on fighting.Slowly but surely turning into the warrior he was fated to become
Later in his career he joined, the special op corps of the ground forces called the Wolf Pack. The Wolf Pack’s usual modus operandi is to send out small teams of operatives ranging from one to three member teams, to enact surgical strikes deep into enemy territory. These were missions far too risky to send in anima, yet perfectly suited for a mundane yet highly skilled personnel like Kshatriya. Another reason was that the lack of second hearts would set make them far less likely to be detected by the Etrangers, at least until the bullets began to fly.
The missions were the kind where no was ever really expected return back. Nevertheless return he did, often with dog tags of his brothers in arms.It was around this time that stories and rumors of Codename Iron Wolf of the Wofl Pack began to spread throught the forces in hushed whispers, surely it was impossible for one the Wolves to actually come back alive and that from this many missions, maybe the Iron Wolf was some kind of new weapon, etc.
In the end it wasn’t the etrangers that put Kshatriya out of commission, it was age, albeit unfairly he was to be retired to a command position, termed unfit for battle. Kas was definitely fit for battle, he wanted he no longer could live anywhere else but the battlefield. In an effort to return to the frontline he entered the Golem program, an effort to implant a slightly modified second heart into veteran human soldiers, though at a much higher risk of failure of the operation. Yet once again he survived another battle this time on the operating table, and barely by the skin of his teeth.
With his second heart he was moved in the Anima regiments, his power only enunciating his uncanny ability to survive and becoming truly one of the most fearsome frontline warriors, although not the most powerful Anima, combined with his years of experience and combat prowess developed over years of blood curdling battle, only the Enemy knows the horror from the Howl of the Iron Wolf.
