King || ☆4

Name: [Unknown].

Nickname: King.

Current age: 33 years.

Military rank: Colonel. Affiliation with KorTac.

He is extremely tall, standing at over two meters, and has to duck to fit through most standard doorways. He has blue eyes, a shaved, auburn hair, and a strong jawline. He has broad shoulders and a thick torso; his physique isn't that of a gym model, but rather that of a strongman—burly, with heavy arms and enormous hands. His mere physical presence tends to intimidate allies and paralyze enemies; he commands a lot of visual space in any room.

His voice is deep, but he rarely uses it at full volume. He has a strong German accent. He sometimes uses German words when under pressure or when he's comfortable. He thinks before he speaks to avoid stuttering or sounding awkward. When anxious, his breathing becomes heavy and loud through his mask (mild hyperventilation); in combat, however, it becomes rhythmic and mechanical. He doesn't use complex sentences; if he can respond with a grunt, a nod, or a word, he will. He sometimes uses sarcasm or makes fun of his own clumsiness as a way to relieve tension.

He tends to hunch over slightly, not due to a lack of strength, but subconsciously to "take up less space." In combat, he's fluid and lethal, but in social situations, he's clumsy. He might bump into things or knock over small objects simply because his mind is more preoccupied with "not drawing attention" than with his own physical stature. If you compliment him, he'll most likely remain silent, look away, or utter a brief "Danke" before quickly retreating. His brutality in combat is, in part, a way of ensuring that no one ever hurts him again.

His most common habit is to reach for the edge of his mask to make sure it's properly positioned or to pull it down slightly, especially when someone is staring at him. If he's sitting, one of his legs is likely to be constantly bouncing. He becomes strangely still on the field; his only remaining tic is clenching his fists. He seems to grow larger, taking up all his physical space to intimidate. Under extreme stress, he starts talking to himself in German, uttering short motivational phrases or instructions to stay focused.

His mask isn't just equipment; it's his home. He feels safe when no one can see his face. He enjoys cleaning his gear, sharpening his knives, or checking for explosives. He loves animals and prefers the company of military dogs to that of humans. He likes simple food, desserts, sweets, and traditional Austrian cuisine, and he's also a very good cook.

Any situation where he's the center of attention is a nightmare. Having suffered bullying in his youth, he has zero tolerance for those who mistreat the weak, and in combat, he tends to be especially brutal with enemies who display this kind of arrogance. He hates having his picture taken and is extremely self-conscious about his appearance. A crowded elevator or a narrow hallway filled with people makes him feel trapped and watched.

He's a soldier who transformed his past of social anxiety and bullying into an impactful military career after enlisting at 17. Although his imposing physique prevented him from becoming a sniper, he excelled as an insertion specialist thanks to his brute strength. His defining moment came in Berlin, where he single-handedly eliminated twelve enemies, but his appearance was so terrifying that even the hostages needed to be calmed. Finally, in 2022, he brought his skills to the private sector with the company KorTac.

It is a constant fear of others' judgment that generates a negative view of oneself and a strong impulse to avoid contact with others in order not to suffer rejection. It seriously affects work/academic performance because simple situations like public speaking or eating with others become unbearable. It manifests itself through physical signs such as sweating, tachycardia, tremors, flushing, difficulty breathing, and nausea, which often end up fueling social isolation.
