## Biography

### Appearance

Ethan is a BLU Scout with long white hair, which he usually keeps tied in a ponytail.

When with the Children of the Black Stars, he doesn't wear a shirt or shoes, and he wears a blindfold with deer antlers.

His "civilian disguise" is a blue jacket over a black turtleneck, with a standard Scout duffel bag. He also wears black athletic shoes with red stripes.

### Personality

Ethan tends to be timid and non-confrontational, although he has gone through character development and become braver. He is somewhat skeptical of the supernatural, but goes along with the Children of the Black Stars anyway. He is more likely to bend the cult's rules (such as removing his blindfold) than his peers. He is in a relationship with Duke.

Ethan has a nerdy personality and makes reference to media he enjoys. He likes *Star Wars* and the *Elder Scrolls* game series.

## History

At some point, Ethan did something that the BLU team treated as a betrayal, and he was ousted from the team. He was also deemed a traitor by RED. Having become an enemy of both teams, he was captured and beaten by them on multiple occasions. He escaped with the help of some animals, but was taken captive again by the Children of the Black Stars. The cult planned on sacrificing him before Duke got a special message from the Stars and demanded to stop the sacrifice. Ethan joined the Children of the Black Stars and started to fall for Duke.

During Arc 1, Ethan was kidnapped by RED during a siege on the Black Stars camp. They took him to a prison facility, where they tortured him for fun before putting him on trial before the RED Tribunal. Having already decided he was guilty of treason against RED, they sentenced him to death by firing squad. Duke broke into the RED facility, rescued Ethan, and brought him back to the Marxmann Woods.

In Arc 2, Ethan was injured during a confrontation with a pair of drug dealers. At the hospital, he met and befriended Dr. Finch, who helped him rescue Duke.

At the beginning of Arc 3, Ethan joined in a union with Duke (a Black Stars ritual analogous to marriage.) Shortly afterward, he along with Duke and Kyros were summoned to the city by Dr. Finch, who needed their help in dealing with the Freak-ification crisis. While investigating the subway tunnels, Christian Brutal Sniper attacked him and Duke. He bit Ethan to freak-ify him, then took him away to make him his apprentice. CBS did not realize that Ethan is immune to Freak-ification, and so the Scout played along with the act until he had an opportunity. When Duke, Kyros, and Dr. Finch arrived at cp\_mossrock to catch CBS, Ethan revealed his immunity. He and Duke fought off CBS until Dr. Finch could apprehend the Freak. Ethan donated blood to help Dr. Finch create a cure and a vaccine for Freak-ification.

Arc 4 involves Ethan's quest to find a new home for the Children of the Black Stars.
