Raika Vihl is a towering brute of a mercenary. Since being retired from his Imperial duties, he has grown his white hair long and wears it in a ponytail. His once beautiful face is a haphazard mess of scars and poorly healed injuries - acid burns, blade cuts, and one wicked blaster scar puckering his left cheek. At one point both of his eyes were brown, but the left one remains a milky hue after the aforementioned blaster injury. Much like his comrades, Raika rarely removes his armor, and his skin is as pale as a cave creature's as a result.
Raika Vihl is no greenhorn when it comes to dealing with those who wish him ill. At some point, he managed to cross the wrong people, and now they've got a mark on his hide for it. While such experiences have hardened him for adrenaline-filled moments of evading those who seek to make him their quarry, he can never be quite sure if he is truly safe, for promises of wealth or power can turn even the most seemingly stalwart of allies to enemies with knives poised at his back.
Raika Vihl's skills as a medic are not just limited to holo-books and lectures. He has read up and practiced a handful of experimental treatments while inventing a few home remedies of his own. This allows Raika Vihl to work outside the box in less than ideal situations, and can lead to him solving mysteries other trained medics might struggle with. This, of course, comes with its own string of failures, as nothing is ever perfect. That, and some of the more established professionals in the field often doubt or question Raika Vihl's alternative practices. He typically brushes them off in favor of doing everything he can to help a patient, but does quietly seek recognition for accomplishments as a healer.
Raika Vihl has a knack for making heroic entrances whenever possible. This is actually something he works at, and one of these days, he might just be a little too late.
Raika Vihl has a military background, and draws upon his experience to tackle the obstacles in his life. This makes him decisive, efficient, and fearless; provides him with a strong sense of duty and strength; which tends to influence his ability to fight and lead. However, a rigid mind is less compassionate towards individuals and less imaginative, and Raika Vihl sometimes risks appearing callous, relatable, or incapable of compromising.
Born with an intractable will and limitless courage, Raika Vihl will stand in the face of insurmountable odds and never retreat. Despite the fact that such acts of heedless bravery are inspiring and will sometimes result in victories worthy of song, just as often they result in his allies getting wounded or killed.
Raika Vihl is utterly devoted to success in combat, no matter the mission, no matter the cost. He has spent his life building himself in the image of war, utilizing a dogmatic regimen that has led him to a single-minded obsession with military success and requires intense physical and mental training. This training, however, has come at the cost of anything resembling empathy or concern for others - even his superiors and subordinates.
