Arik Koschei Kolkheim is the main protagonist of Immortal Eagle and plays a prominent role again in Undying Panther as "Immortal Gunn" (although this is an alternate soul).

Arik is a hickish nerdy gamer who gets suddenly thrown into a series of apocalypses as several abilities awaken from within him. He becomes an expert zombie killer but soon faces more challenges such as a crime syndicate, sacrificial cult, and many monsters now walking the Earth. As Immortal Gunn in Undying Panther, he helps liberate the world from the NWO.

## Appearance

Arik is very tall (123s/6'4"/193cm) and has a chubby build (103e/206lbs/93kg). He has glowing (IE1 and beyond) azure-cyan nearsighted eyes and spiked dirty blond hair with a strand above his right eye. He has a big nose and strong jaw with scraggily sideburns, a mustache, and a goatee.

### Immortal Eagle 0-2

Arik wears his grandfather's M-65 field jacket with ranks and surname patches of his father and grandfather. Underneath, he wears a cyan t-shirt and a pair of low-riding legitimately worn and dusty jeans. He also wears a pair full driving gloves and a pair of cyan sneakers. His accessories include his father's M16A2 with a sling which carries a Kansas, Michigan, and Virginia pins, an apocalypse scrap book, and a golden pocket watch.

### Immortal Eagle 3

After becoming a field agent for DIAM, Arik dons a suit. He wears a black one-striped diastalium blazer over a white dress shirt with a blue-azure tie with a polygonal design made to look like a cyan-eyed cat's head. Below that, he wears black slacks with a black diastalium belt and black diastalium work boots. He's also striped his gloves with diastalium and dons his trademark slim shades and diastalium striped fedora for the first time. Besides the M16A2, Arik still carries the same accessories.

### Undying Panther

This outfit is the same as the last except his striped blazer has become an overcoat.

## Personality

Arik is a quiet and stoic young man stuck at 15 exayars (25 years). He has a deep voice and his stoic resting face is somewhat serious causing others to see him as callus and he likes to use it to his advantage in battle but his actions and mind are quite the opposite. In reality, he is outgoing yet socially awkward and likes to help others whenever possible. His mind is constantly racing with curiosity and questions, which made him a geek and somewhat of a nerd growing up but it also makes him paranoid and distracted. He likes to move fast and act fast no matter the situation, which adds to his awkwardness. Arik is a stress drinker and craves the taste of citrus above all else so he is often seen drinking a fruity soda during his down time. He has a strong dislike for authority, refusing to bow to anyone no matter their rank unless it is to pay his respects. He also has a wild west view of justice and revenge although he begins to somewhat regret it as it mellows out after Immortal Eagle. He is obsessed with collecting things which is shown with his many accessories and his constantly expanding arsenal of firearms. He has a heightened sense of hearing but a bad sense of smell.

## Abilities

### Magicka

**Fermata** or **Grand Pause** allows Arik to slow down time based on his motion. This gives him the time to be precise and accurate with his actions and even do things such as dodge bullets with ease. He also enjoys using it to make any mundane action stylish even if it isn't practical. "Fermata" represents his love for orchestral music and "Grand Pause" is a pun for his high respect for his dead grandfathers.

**Vibe Check** allows Arik to sense auras and their intentions (although the latter isn't until IE3). This, combined with his heightened hearing and Fermata, makes him a great hunter and a very difficult prey.

### Blessing/Curse

**Holy Hell** causes a fluctuation of vibe-magnetism (luck); elongated positive frequency = high negative amplitude. It was passed on by Judas following his death.

### Combat Style

Arik's primary combat style is **Range of Firearms**. He does ranged attacks using projectiles and his weapon of choice is any firearm he can get his hands on which he adds to his collection.

Arik's secondary fighting style is **Melee of Knives**. On the off chance that he's without ammo, he takes up his collection of knives.

### Golden Pocket Watch

Arik has **regenerative and age immortality** but he doesn't realize it until IE3 when DIAM experiments on him. After experimentation by DIAM, it is discovered that it can heal anything back to its natural state although at a natural rate of growth. What no none realized (not even Immortal Eagle) was that it was caused by his golden pocket watch which was a forgotten Kolkheim heirloom that he had discovered before leaving the Kolkheim house in IE0. It has a cool S inscribed on it and it contains an alien time measurement (to Immortal Eagle) known as "yars" which he later realizes to be metric Planck time. The watch was able to grant immortality because it contains the injured soul of Sophia herself following her descent, the appearance of Azathoth, and the attack by Nyarlathotep.

### Philosopher's Stone

Arik finds the **subatomic transmutation** chip Anesi had left behind. It grants him hammerspace inventory within his sternum and the ability to transmute on the quantum scale complete with a mental user-interface. He uses it to transmute bullets and carry his constantly expanding arsenal of firearms among many other things.
