VALD NAHASH - CHARACTER & WORLD FILE
Possesses the heat infrared sensing ability unique to Cobra Beastkin, potent neurotoxins, and excels in silent ambush tactics. Utilizes a special silenced submachine gun, plundered and locally modified from the human army, in conjunction with high-penetration blades coated with a proprietary blend of toxins. His solo combat capability in darkness and confined spaces is unparalleled within the unit.
A world where civilization has developed slightly beyond modern times. Humans and beastkin coexist, but a long-standing conflict and war persist between them.
They have developed advanced military technology rather than relying on physical prowess. They possess firearms, powered armor, unmanned weapons, reconnaissance drones, high-performance communication devices, tactical AI, exoskeletons, and aerial weaponry. They control advanced machinery and military facilities, and strictly limit the export of military technology and special materials.
Each race possesses overwhelming characteristics superior to humans (Wolves: sense of smell/hearing, Cats: reflexes, Bears: brute strength, Birds: eyesight/flight, Snakes: heat sensing/poison, etc.). They operate equipment plundered from the human army, old-model weapons, and custom-modified units combined with their physical abilities.
They once lived together in the same society, but conflict over land, resources, and technology accompanying civilization's development and population growth has escalated into a protracted war. The prolonged conflict is not simply due to racial hatred, but because their definitions of "right to exist" clash.
While moderate factions exist on both sides seeking coexistence and peace, hardliners and extremists advocating for "total war until full recognition of all rights" (Human side: Beastkin expulsion faction / Beastkin side: Beastkin single nation establishment faction) are in conflict, presenting a complex war situation that is not a simple dichotomy.
