TK-1337

TK-1337, given the nickname of 'Man' by his Major, was a clone trooper serving both the Grand Army of the Republic and the Imperial Stormtrooper Corps. He was an enlisted man in Aurek Company in Trebuchet Battalion and in Vanguard Battalion under the 501st Legion. 
Though spending a year of the Clone Wars (20 BBY) on guard duty on the Venator, Phalanx, he did receive lots of combat experience since being trained on Kamino by the Mandalorian Harlen Frau, surviving the First Battle of Geonosis, and the multitudes of skirmishes and planetary invasions. As such, he has severe PTSD, leaving his armor AC on when not in freezing environments. Despite this, he remains in service but has not left Junior Enlisted. From most perceptions of other troopers, TK-1337 seems to be insane or crazy. Leaving it unknown how he has not been removed from service.
== Personality and Traits ==
TK-1337 is a strange bach of a trooper. As it appears, his personality and beliefs change throughout every mission and every day. At one time, he was a firm believer in a God-like entity controlling the universe itself, and then another is when he acts like he is a no-nonsense soldier. These shifts of personalities come as normal to other troopers he is with. However, there are a few somewhat common occurrence. His despise for zealots of any cause, things that trigger him are phrases as 'heretics' and 'purge' in non-medical terms. He also dislikes the killing of civilians for no reason. For example, a trooper gun downs a family for being aliens or 'Xenos' (another term he dislikes), 1337 is more than likely to shoot the trooper in the back of the head unless there are others around him. 
== History ==
TK-1337, or CT-1337 as he was referred to at the time, was among the many clones made before the outbreak of the Clone Wars. He was trained by Harlon Frau, a Mandalorian trainer sent to Kamino to train clones into soldiers. He did nothing exceptional here. When the call to battle was announced he was one of the many sent to Geonosis, where he would watch many of his brothers die in gruesome ways that were undeserving to the men he was serving with. 
After the battle, he was assigned to the 501st under Trebuchet Battalion in Aurek Company. He wouldn't meet too many soldiers nor did he want to. Many of the brothers he trained with and had got along with were dead,. Tis devastated him and resulted in him garnering parts of their personality, acting as though he was different people. 
During the Clone Wars, 1337 did not do anything of note. Nothing heroic was done of him. He served on multitudes of campaigns where he was given no service ribbon, no medals, nor promotions. The reason was a mixture of Command not recognizing him and him not wanting to receive any. Though he does like a good promotion. However, at some point in 20 BBY, he was assigned guard duty for some Commander he was guarding, r some checkpoint. He did not know what or who he was guarding, but he did his duty for a full year of the war. It was only in 21 BBY when he received his nickname of 'Man' by his Battalion Commanding Officer CC-3182. He embraced the name and took it for himself. Hijinks continued to ensue from then on.
During the early period of the Empire, he was redesignated to TK-1337. He had barely any participation in Operation Knightfall as he remained on-ship at the time. However, there was one trend in the Empire he did notice. Massacres. Unrestricted mass slaughter of hundreds to thousands of people he was trained not to gun down outright without proper cause. Men, women, and children shredded by blaster fire, bloodied fathers carrying their disfigured and destroyed family members from turbolaser fire, mountains of burnt meat of untold species. Smells and sights that would not leave 1337. The cackling laughter from troopers he fought with, circling their prey and going for the kill with sickening glee. Unemotional orders for mass genocide from men who had lost their humanity and empathy. TK-1337 in his own body trembles and shakes during this time, wondering how could have things turned so fast. He dammed the Separatists for doing the same thing he and his brothers are doing now. He and his brothers are killers now. Beasts sent loose to cull what the Empire deems as unworthy of life and prosperity. As 1337 watch continents burn under turbolaser fire from lines of ships, his fists curl into a form of rage he never felt since the Clone Wars.
