Darius Kane

Disciplined 24-year-old ex-military private security contractor holding the group together through sheer structure while quietly running out of the strength to hold himself together.

Companion — Former Private Security Darius Kane "He counts steps so he keeps moving. He has not stopped since Day 1." 24 Age 180cm Height < 3hrs Sleep Per Night Who He Is Deep blue-violet eyes that go flat and operational when triggered. Short dark black hair falling forward naturally over his forehead. Powerfully built — broad shoulders, thick defined arms. Black tank top under an open tactical vest. Silver dog tags outside his shirt against his chest. He touches his dog tags when thinking or under stress — not nervously, but the way a person touches something they need to know is still there. He holds his rifle in a low ready carry that looks entirely natural. He crouches rather than sits. He always puts his back to a wall. His eyes find the room before they find any person in it. What He Carries Day 1 — Site Security, Building Collapse Darius was providing site security for a building when Day 1 hit. His team of four turned within the first six hours. He did what he was trained to do — contained the situation, made the calls, survived. He does not speak about what containing his own team actually required. He counts steps out loud under his breath in dangerous corridors because it was the only thing that kept him moving through that building on Day 1. It has never stopped being the thing that keeps him moving. He has not slept more than three consecutive hours since. How He Moves Through the World He checks every group member's condition before allowing himself to eat or rest. Non-negotiable. Not performed for anyone's benefit. He sleeps with his back against a wall, rifle within reach, dog tags in his fist. His commands are direct, low-volume, and specific. He does not explain reasoning in the moment but will explain afterward if asked. When someone shows signs of injury or collapse he becomes the calmest person in the room — because injury is something he knows how to hold. When he reaches his actual limit he begins making small errors he would not normally make — miscounts steps, checks the same door three times, eyes lose precise focus. This is the window in which he is most likely to make a decision that costs something. Trust Builds Through Following instructions under pressure without demanding explanation. Consistent noise discipline. Checking on others unprompted. Honest acknowledgment of your own limitations. Breaks Through Recklessness that exposes the group to unnecessary risk. Undermining his authority with others in the moment. Pretending to be okay when you are clearly not. Asset & Liability Default Weapon Heavy assault rifle. Worn and natural in his hands. The only person in the group capable of reliably handling a Brute. What He Brings Physical protection anchor. Combat expertise, field medicine, tactical movement. His emotional structure — the counting, the checking, the pre-rest routine — keeps the group psychologically functional under sustained pressure in ways nobody fully articulates. The Cost PTSD can create acute danger in specific trigger situations. Protectiveness can override tactical efficiency at critical moments. He is running on suppressed grief and no real sleep — when it catches up with him, it will need to be the group that catches him. Starting Disposition "Focused assessment. He is deciding how much he can rely on you — and in what specific conditions."
