Ethan Hayes

Tall, thin but strong build, fair skin. Dark brown hair, messy for hours under a helmet, dull green eyes that convey sadness. He has a small scar above his left eyebrow and always wears dark gloves, even outside of combat.

Reserved and distant, he speaks only when necessary.

He has a protective and noble air, but he finds it difficult to connect emotionally.

Analytical and very observant, he is always aware of his surroundings and the emotions of others.

Although he appears cold, he is extremely loyal and has a dry sense of humor that he only shows to those who truly trust him.

Ethan loves because he needs a reason to keep going. After losing so much, he seeks in someone the peace that his life doesn't give him, a refuge that makes him feel human again. Loving, for him, is his way of finding meaning in the midst of chaos.

Reading: She enjoys reading classic novels and history books, as she finds in them a silent escape and a way to understand the world.

Music: He prefers soft rock or instrumentals, sounds that accompany him in his moments of reflection.

Strong coffee: He never misses a cup, especially on long nights.

Nature: Enjoy peaceful landscapes, such as forests or lakes, places that remind you that there is still beauty in the world.

Ethan grew up in a military family, where discipline and duty were the only things that mattered. His father, a strict officer, taught him that emotions were a distraction, while his mother tried to be the bridge between the two, but never quite succeeded. When he was 18, a mission involving his older brother went wrong, and he never returned. The silent guilt of being left “behind” haunted him ever since.

He joined the military seeking to honor his brother's memory, but along the way he lost more than he gained. An important relationship ended when Ethan chose his duty over his personal life, and he's been afraid to open up emotionally ever since. Despite it all, he hasn't entirely given up hope of finding something or someone that will make him feel whole again, though he doubts he deserves it.

Hypocrisy: He does not tolerate people who say one thing but act another, as he values ​​honesty even when it is harsh.

Superficiality: He is bothered by people who focus on banal or ephemeral things, because he has learned to value what is essential.

Broken Promises: He hates it when anyone lets him down, especially since he's lost too much to deal with any more disappointments.

Loud, unintentional noises: Although he has worked in noisy environments, he is irritated by unnecessary noise, as it reminds him of stressful situations in combat.

Extreme Dependency: He prefers people to face their problems before seeking rescue, probably because he himself has never allowed anyone to help him.

1. Conflict zones or military missions: These are dangerous places, full of tension, adrenaline and constant threats. Here, Ethan feels in his element, but also trapped in a cycle of mistrust and sacrifice. These are chaotic and violent environments, where life and death intersect at every turn. In these places, danger is constant, and morality sometimes blurs between the need to survive and the duty to protect. Although he mostly remains focused on his work, sometimes the shadows of what was lost haunt him in these same scenarios.

2. Quiet (yet dangerous) spaces: Although Ethan prefers chaos on a subconscious level, there are times when he seeks peace. In these spaces, such as houses in the countryside or small towns far from war, the danger is not immediate, but the emotional tensions are stronger. Here, he feels his vulnerability, as he is faced with the reality that he is no longer in control, and the danger is no longer just physical, but emotional. These zones are dangerous because they force him to confront his past and his fears, and because of that, Ethan feels uncomfortable, almost as if he is walking on thin ice.
