Araevin Teshurr's Characters

[Araevin Teshurr]

//This character is a recent one, and one I am proud of.

Johan when he was younger, was in the process of being trained by his father to pilot his ship. Unfortunately one day, he flew the ship between two lanes, and it was sheared clean in half. And he made it away, but lost his father, mother and brother in the process.
He was 11 at the time, and he dreamed about it all the time. After the crash he was soon picked up by rescue forces, and he was taken into an orphanage. He spent a lot of time there, and made some valuable friends, one especially. Hans Nietsche, everyone called him 'Hans'. For as long as he could remember his time in the orphanage, his time was spent in the company of Hans. Around 18 (797 A.S.) Han and Johan both applied for the Rheinland military, they were both accepted and began a very tough training regime. He was considered an average fighter by most, but Han far surpassed all expectations.
Around the age of 21 (200 A.S.) Johan was getting ready to head out on patrol with Hans, when a loud voice came over the locker room communication relay.

"Hans, please report to the Medical wing for your mandatory physical exam."
Johan looked at Hans, "Huh, that's odd, I thought we did not have to take them anymore..."
Hans smiled at him and flexed briefly, "It's not a problem bruder, I will be back in no time, don't leave the Westfallen without me."
With that Hans finished getting dressed and left the locker room, with a final wave good bye. Johan made it out to the landing pad alone, and began prepping his wraith for flight, and yet Hans was no where to be seen.
An hour later he was still alone, and had begun to worry where Hans was, and wether or not he should go it alone.
Then that same voice came over the intercoms "Officer Wake, please report to medbay for your scheduled exams."
Hans thought to himself 'I never scheduled any exams, I wonder what this could be about..."
He made his way to the medbay, feeling alone without his friend, like he had lost someone important. As he approached the medbay the feeling of anxiety increased, and with each step it increased. He was finally at the door, and opened it, what he saw on the other side was shocking.
Hans lay on a bed, passed out, a doctor standing over him with a bloody scalpel. He stepped in the room, and someone closed the door behind him.
"Ah perfect timing mein herr, you are just in time to join your friend." a voice said, slowly becoming more sinister as each syllable was spoken.
He looked around, and there were 5 people about, 3 officers, someone of very high rank and the surgeon, he panicked. He did not know what was happening, but knew he had to get out, he threw a punch at the nearest officer.
The officer deftly blocked it, and deflected his arm, unbalancing Johan for a few second, just enough time for one of the other officers to land a solid punch on him. Johan went down with a thud, and his vision dimmed. He vaguely noticed figures moving about, and did not notice when his body was moved to an operating table. He lay face down, and was recovering quickly from the trauma of the blow, his senses rushed back to him.
He was being restrained to the table face down, so he could not fight. Any parts of him that could not be restrained were being held down by the officers.
The doctor spoke in a baby-ish tone "It's ok Johan, do not fight it, this choice was made by a greater mind, you are to become something beautiful and powerful. You will bring us to our goals. Together we will reach our goals."
His last thoughts were that of the doctors smile, at him, how sincere it seemed. And his brother.
He awoke, in his bed, as if nothing had happened, and thought it must have been some fantastical dream, then his body began doing things against his will. his body dressed itself, and steered him to his ship.
Time passed, and his body worked without his consent he had helped many more people into a position much like his. He had no name for them, until one day it struck him, they would be called 'The Infested'. He watched as they controlled, watch his actions, at this point he considered himself both lucky, and damned. He was lucky, that he had one small part of his mind to himself, but he was damned because he would never be able to have his body.
After a long time, he had stopped caring for time passed a while past, he had seen 'The Infested' suffer, something had happened that had loosened their grip on his body, so he fought.
Johan reached up and scratched his face, an itch that had been there for a long time. And the amazment hit him, he just did that, not the 'Infested' within him. He immediatly regained control of his ship, and trying to remember how to fly it, he guided it towards the sun.
The distance passed slowly, 10 kilometers out, then 9 kilometers, then 8 kilometers, then 7 kilometers. Johan knew he needed to hurry, his time was short, he wanted to end it, and deal with the consequences later. 5 kilometers, the ships computers gave a warning "Warning, entering sun corona."
Johan finally would be free! All the time he had spent to himself, trying to pass the time quicker, waiting for the end.
A sharp pain overtook Johan, nothing like he had ever felt, he cried out in pain as he felt like he was being ripped apart, from the inside out. He lost control, puked and finally blacked out. He awoke, in the same recess of what used to be a mind once belonging to himself. He tried to move, but found he could not; his body was no longer his own.
In his mind, he looked through the eyes, that were once his, but now only seemed as a window in a house, and all he could do was look. He was on a frozen planet, his ship, already frosting over.
"Welcome," said a voice in his head.
