Personality:
Ethan is the kind of person who at first glance, appears like a slacker who doesn't take anything seriously. He tends to keep a messy appearance, and can act quite childish sometimes. However much he seems to be acting immaturely though, he does take his work with utmost seriousness, and gets his work done efficiently. He is also quite the flirtatious guy, and can be quite the suck up towards the ladies.
Ethan has always enjoyed his video games, having grown up playing all manner of games from early Nintendo games to the latest games being churned out from game companies across the globe. Even at his current age, he usually spends his free time playing some sort of game, and usually keeps one of his handhelds on him at all times in case he ever has any unexpected downtime that needs killing.
Despite his affinity for video games, Ethan has proven capable of balancing his gaming with his studies and has a high degree of intelligence hiding behind those goggles of his. He also thinks very logically, and doesn't let emotions get in the way of making the right choice. He is also very creative and resourceful, and is able to make the most out of everything he has.
There is nothing Ethan likes more in his work, then seeing his projects progress. His best days are when everything is going as planned, and his team is working well. If one wants to get on his good side, they simply have to take part in getting his projects complete fast and effectively. On the flip side though, is greatest peeve is when things are going wrong, his team hits a dead end, and progress comes to a halt. The way to get on his bad side, is to simply screw up. Due to his aversion to failure, he dislikes risks, and always leans towards the options that have the highest chance of success.
Ethan isn't the kind to show mercy, especially if having mercy, requires going against the best course of action. As cold as it makes him seem, he believes in order to ensure success and, most importantly in regard's to Hypnos' work keeping the digimon threat under control, the hard decisions have to be made to ensure humanity's survival.
Ethan's views on those who complain about his methods being inhumane, immoral or whatever, are less than positive. He considers them only ignorant morons who are too blind to see that he is doing what he does for the betterment survival of man kind as a whole, and to him are not even worth giving them the time of day. He doesn't care how the public view him. They are nothing but sheep in his flock, and he is tasked in keeping them alive, even if they don't like it.
Another thing Ethan likes, is having a feeling of superiority. Doesn't mean he's unwilling to take orders or must necessarily be on top, but he prefers to have a people below him to be in charge of and call the shots on. He can get pretty grumpy if he's shoved down to the lowly position of 'grunt'.
Ethan is quite skilled in the use of small arms weapons such as hand guns, rifles and other small guns, as well as the use of hand to hand combat and melee weapons, such batons and knives, though his current favorite, especially for use against digimon, is a modified electric cattle prod. He also has a commercial rotorcraft pilot's license and is also qualified in the use of the various weaponry mounted on most of Hypos' helicopters.
Appearance:
Standing at nearly six feet with long limbs and a slim build, Ethan can easily be described as a tall and lanky individual. He has greenish blue eyes, and wears his dull red hair in a sort of mullet, with most of the hair on the lower back of his head grown long and tied back into a ponytail, while the rest, though longer than the hair of most boys, is still considerably shorter than his ponytail, and is gelled to make it quite spikey. In addition to a pair of black goggles he is almost always wearing, he tends to wear suits most of the time, though he often wears them quite sloppily, not tucking them in or buttoned up, giving him a somewhat rugged appearance.
History:
Ethan's father, Hashi Makuto, had been born and raised in Japan, and grown up to be been an airline pilot. It was on a routine trip to Detroit Michigan, when a blizzard had kept him on the ground for a couple days, when he had met Tanya Michaels, whom he would later bring back to Japan and wed, and bear two children with.
The youngest of those children, was Ethan. He had grown up to be a bright child, with a knack for video games and technology in general. There wasn't many games or computer programs he couldn't figure out, even from a young age. When he hit his teen years, he began training to get his pilot's license, though he settled for training to operate rotorcrafts, more specifically, helicopters. By the time he was 19, he had gained his commercial pilot's license.
Though he got his pilots license, his interests still lay mainly in his main strength - computers. He went to college, and by the time he turned 26 he had earned a double masters in Computer Science and Bio-technology. It was around this time he was given an offer by the government for a job in the Hypnos program. At first it had been a simple communications monitoring job, but now that digimon were suddenly appearing in the real world and causing havoc, their directive had changed to controlling and eliminating the threat these monsters posed on their world, which had been most interesting for him.
He had put a great effort into combating the digital threat, and a hand in the development of a lot of the programs used to track and destroy digimon, including yuggoth and juggernaut. Of course, he hadn't been too pleased when both programs ended up failing, and the latter ending up opening a rift for even stronger digimon to come in through.
As time went on, his boss's and by extension his own ability to deal with the digimon threat began to dwindle, and when the D-reaper appeared in the real world, he could only give what little support he could to the monster makers and what was left of hypnos while the very creatures they had been working to eliminate along side children -- children of all people! Stood at the front lines. As a man who doesn't like taking risks, this was just about the worst situation he could be in, and could only be pissed the big mess of risks by some miracle, actually worked.
Fortunately though, he had a bit of satisfaction at the end, when the remaining digimon in the human world were forced back into the digital world, and the pathway sealed to prevent further digimon from breaking into the real world. He however, didn't expect digimon to stay put. No, they broke through to the human world once, they very well could do it again.
While hypnos was shut down, and he had been transferred to work in the Japanese Military, he spent a lot of his time working on developing new ideas to fight back against digimon and mapping them out. Two years later, his hunch had proven correct. Digimon were once again reappearing in the real world, and he had immediately been summoned back to work with hypnos, this time with a promotion to head scientist.
This wasn't the old hypnos he had once worked for though. No, it was so much different. Much BETTER. More bases, better facilities, more staff, and its own military force. Not to mention a far greater man --er, woman in charge of it all. Indeed, near the end of the last digital fiasco, Ethan was getting very sick of Yamaki's rambling on about "trust the children", and he was very happy to have a new boss.
With hypnos back in action, Ethan quickly took the ideas he had accumulated, and brought them forth, and was soon executing them. His main idea had been cloning their own digimon, and manipulating their data to make the digimon work for them. The first set of prototypes, four based on the digimon who had defeated the d-reaper who would go to agents who would use them to fight the digimon spawning in the real world, while the fifth was a clone of a digimon unrelated to the 'war heros', a Gabumon whom he kept himself for his own protection, as well as a guinea pig for advancing the digimon clone project.
Digivice Appearance:
____________________________________
Digimon: Gabumon X (Named "DCLN-GM-02" or "G-2" for short)
Gender: Female
Personality:
While four clones went to the digi-ops squadron, Ethan had made a fifth clone for his own uses, in both keeping control of new clones he made, as well as serving as a test subject. The first Gabumon clone was, much like the others, loyal to Hypnos, but were still capable of independent thought, and still had the potential to be influenced by the digimon and people they encountered. It was this major flaw in their design Ethan had sought to eliminate with the gabumon model 2.0
Extensive research, testing and experimentation has, for what Ethan has so far observed, brought him success. G-2 is nothing but pure, untainted loyalty and power. She has little to no independent thought, and is programmed not just to want to side with Hypnos, but those binding alterations also force her to follow his orders and to not act of her own accord.
Because of this intense programming, she often appears cold and distant, only speaking when spoken to and when she has no orders to obey, she is typically asleep, or otherwise just staring off into space. Though she is obliged to obey orders, she is not one who tolerates being pestered and isn't afraid to lash out at anyone who ticks her off.
