Background:

Physical:
Nash is a solidly built and well proportioned man. Broad shouldered, he cuts a striking figure in uniform or casuals. Dark bond hair swept back from his eyes of blue, Nash has a long neck and defined jawline that is far more masculine than effeminate. Due to his career choices and lifestyle he keeps in shape, although doing so is not the driving factor behind him. He works out to make his body a more effective machine for whatever task he sets it, be it sport, combat, relaxation or romance. He stands straight, shoulders back and head up always alert and attentive, when he walks it is with the confidence that he knows what he is doing and that he is exactly where he should be, because that is where he wants to be.

Personality:
Ethan is a confident man. He regrets none of his decisions and firmly believes that the choices he has made have been the right ones. Be that as it may he does not make decisions rashly, and firmly believes that a decision made from the heart is just as important as one made from the head. He stands up for what he believes in and takes responsibility for his choices, knowing full well that nobody forces him into a decision that he is not happy with. He is not quick to smile or to show emotion, but people he gets close to know that he is one of the most loyal men they could find and more than willing to share a drink or a few jokes at the end of the day, he simply doesn’t need fools in his life.
