APPEARANCE
Orden is slightly taller than an average human. His years as a soldier have hardened him physically, but left him with some scars, such as one along the top of his right arm and the left side of his chest. His number is tattooed on the top of his right arm (1128). His hair is a short dark brown, and his eyes almost black in colour. His usual clothing consists of a plain white skivvy and black pants, though he occasionally wears a black vest in the cold.
His body armour, worn during battle, is made from a highly resistant compound, plated a white-silver colour, worn on his forearms, legs, torso and groin, accented with gold and bestowed with a protection charm at the centre of the breastplate. Visible beneath the armour is a trenchcoat-esque high collar uniform, which is also white-silver and accented gold at the edges. The tail of the coat splits below the belt into two parts that end at angles, and the Lao symbol is marked gold on the left temple of his helmet. He wears a black bodysuit underneath his armour, which ends at the neck and ankles, but covers the rest of his body. His shoes are thick soled high top boots, which are part of the armour. His helmet is rounded to a point at the front in black T-visor with a gold stripe along the top. Orden's armour is often critiscized as being somewhat "ceremonial" due to it's gold and white-silver colour, but Orden ignores it, deeming it meaningless by proving his worth as a commander in battle.

PERSONALITY
Orden is a very strong captain. He leads the squad unwaveringly. Although he can come across as somewhat apathetc and uncaring at times, his foremost thought is for his squadmates, and off the battlefield tries to keep the bonds of the squad together. He often scolds the squad for overly reckless behaviour, but views their rivalries as strengthening of the team, and lets most small arguements and friendly banter slide. However, he has a zero tolerance attitude towards serious arguements and hatreds between squadmates, as he sees them as counter productive and will step in to resolve anything he senses is beyond conraderie. He has the most experince dealing with senior officers and higher ranks, and so remains calm and reserved when reporting or recieving orders. Although as captain his primary concern is issuing orders, he excels at field combat and will lead his squad into particularly dangerous territory personally. He also takes it upon himself to perform certain field tasks every so often, as his skills are slightly broader ranged than the specialisations of his team mates and he prefers to offer support than to overtask his squad.

HISTORY
Orden became part of the Lao army after leaving home at the age of 16. He was ashamed of his family, particularly his mother and father after they defrauded a large company and were imprisoned. After they were released, they sent him to a boarding school, but he left of his on accord and lived briefly from small savings. He met a girl while looking for sanctuary from those responsible for him, and, under the impression that they were safe, tried to settle down. However, the girl left him for a known womaniser to chase celebrities, and Orden, heartbroken, bluffed his way into the academy while still 17, to finally escape legal pursuits, hoping secretly to be KIA. He made a name for himself, most prominently in unarmed combat, and was sent through extensive programs in various different forms. Finally devoting himself to military life, he was eventually admitted into higher classes of training at age 24, and was then promoted quickly for his success in administration and other duties. After perfecting several forms of extensive close combat along with expanded general training, he was finally enroled in a program for experimental combat form, along with some of his former teachers and masters. After impressing his seargent in quelling a camp riot, he was ranked a captain, and before long was sent to the Zukaian world.


ATTRIBUTES
Armour
Orden's armour was gifted to him by one of his masters, crafted by the Lao and imbued with a Zukaian protection charm. It can resist physical and solid projectiles up to 45 mm rounds without compromising it's integrity, and protects him from moderate non-physical attacks (such as lasers), and the charm resists normal magic attacks. However, heavy damage causes the armour to enter a "stasis" in which the suit locks, and Orden cannot move or respond to transmissions. If left unattended when damage is too great for auto repair, Orden can die. The suit must be "unlocked" by being interacted with from outside.

Skills
For a soldier, Orden knows enough about hand to hand combat to teach in 5 different forms in around 7 different styles of unarmed combat, including the current experimental form (use of a third axis and the environment to his advantage in combat), and 12 styles of armed combat. Aside from his close combat skills, Orden has training in fields such as engineering, general demolition, field medical procedures, and data manipulation (hacKing), but does not specialise in one particular area.

Weaponry:
Orden carries A standard issue Long Assault Rifle, a laser weapon which is capable of basic Automatic and Semi-Automatic rifle functions. He has, however, modified it to allow for what he calls a "Breaker" mode fire, which requires half a cartridge to fire, but can penetrate up to 40mm thick artillery armour.
He also carries a standard issue Long Automatic Pistol, a semi-automatic laser weapon powered by a recharging power cell. He uses it in one partcular style to grapple his opponents and finish them, rather than simply pistol whipping enemies.
Orden also carries a long, leather handle, single edged knife, instead of the standard model.
