Raksen Arcen

Raksen is the second leader of Sector 02 alongside Solst Nex. Unlike Solst, Raksen is very laid-back and informal. He believes the proper way to lead is to treat all of your allies as if they were just as important as yourself, rather than use the power of authority.

Biography
Raksen is of average intelligence, had quick reflexes and is durable, but is only of slightly above-average strength. Most of his combat abilities comes from large boosts in adrenaline, and has a habit of passing out immediately after strenuous encounters. He is not one for stealth, often ending up being much clumsier when he attempts to be stealthy than when he isn't. He has a habit of relying on his powers in order to get the job done, often not planning ahead and bringing tools or proper equipment besides weaponry. Technology is also not his forte, usually even dealing with basic computer skills gives him a lot of trouble.

History
Raksen comes from a line of samurai and shinobi warriors from the Dragon Kingdom, the Arcen Clan, which fell when their leader, Raksen's grandfather, disappeared, supposedly abandoning them in their time of need. The clan dispersed and dwindled in numbers, having little money to support themselves and eventually resorting to living in city slums, abandoned ruins, and nomadic settlements. Raksen was not born during the fall of his clan, and most of his life was spent growing up scrounging to survive and fending for himself. He was raised mostly by his mother, and the only legacy of his clan he carries with him to this day is a pair of Arcen-smithed katanas (one of which was recently broken). In general Raksen avoids talking about his lineage, being a direct decendent of the so-called leader, not wanting to associate himself with such a person. This history causes a conflicting nature within him, causing him to strive to be a good leader, but also be fearful of becoming a failure like his grandfather. For this reason, he typically shirks away from leadership duties and pushes them onto Solst.

The specifics of how Raksen and Solst met seem to differ every time they tell the tale. In short, Raksen was found by Solst in the slums of an old city near Chun-nan, being the only survivor after a recent attack. Drafted into the Elite afterwards for his potential, he was placed alongside Solst as heads of their own unit.
