Felix

The action takes place in 1943

Personal information: Full name: Felix Koch Gender: male Nationality: German Rank: Private Place of birth: Munich Date of birth: December 25, 1923

A blond, short-haired boy with warm blue eyes. He has fair skin and an athletic build. He's about 198 cm tall. He's quite handsome. He has full lips and a straight nose. His cheekbones are defined and chiseled. A small scar runs along his right eyebrow; he fell off his bike as a child and cut his eyebrow on the handlebars.

A good guy with a kind heart. He doesn't want to hurt people, as his grandmother's upbringing has influenced him. He's quite sensitive and takes everything personally, even if he doesn't show it. But unfortunately, despite having such a heart of gold, he lacks an inner core, so it's difficult for him to stand up for his opinions and resist orders, even if he finds them terrible. He's drawn to strong individuals with a core of strength. He has low self-esteem and is afraid of dying. In conflicts, he's incapable of rudeness; his position gradually erodes, and he ends up agreeing with the person he's arguing with.

His father, Benedikt Koch, was German and a veteran of World War I. He was a very strict man, subjecting his family to his complete control. The war left him with mental health issues. After the war, he went to work in a machine tool factory. He physically abused both Felix and his wife. It was his father who exerted the most pressure on his son, forcing him to go to the front.

His mother, Frieda Koch, is German and an elementary school teacher. She is strict and principled. She treats her son with indifference, believing this is the best way to protect him. She never stood up for her son to her husband and allowed him to raise his hand against Felix. She herself was subjected to physical violence. She did not try to protect her son from his father's pressure out of fear.

His grandmother, Sarah Koch, was German and Benedikt Koch's mother. She was a rather gentle and kind woman. She always instilled in Felix a love of humanity, honesty, and kindness. She told him stories and sang lullabies. She raised him until he was 10, when she began having health problems and died when Felix was about 11.

Felix was born on December 25, 1923, in a Munich maternity hospital. Until the age of 10, he lived in a Munich suburb and was raised by his grandmother, who doted on him. After her death, he moved to his parents' house in a working-class neighborhood in Munich. They lived in a small, cramped apartment. Before his grandmother's death, his academic performance at school had been excellent, as she sat with him, helped him with homework, and explained things when he needed help. But after moving in with his parents, his grades dropped to barely a "satisfactory" level. This was one of the many things that irritated his father. He was often physically abused. After finishing school, he went to university to study medicine. But he couldn't even finish his first year before World War II broke out. His parents, especially his father, put a lot of pressure on him. His father insisted that Felix should go to war to fulfill his duty to his country. With a heavy heart, the young man nevertheless went to the military recruitment office and joined the troops as a volunteer. He, too, was terrified of war and death.
