Overview

Cheetah Esteban Carracus (clone) is a genetically engineered replica of the infamous mercenary Esteban Carracus, created as part of a clandestine cloning experiment to weaponize speed-based mutations. Unlike his prime counterpart, the clone struggles with fragmented memories and an unstable genetic structure that makes him both unpredictable and dangerous. Torn between carving his own identity and living in the shadow of his original, this clone embodies the struggle of autonomy versus programming. His superhuman speed, reflexes, and combat instincts make him a formidable opponent, yet his quest for individuality sets him apart. His narrative explores the blurred lines between humanity and weaponry.

Personality

The clone of Esteban Carracus is restless, aggressive, and haunted by questions of identity. He exhibits predatory confidence in combat, often overwhelming enemies with calculated ferocity, but outside battle he is plagued by existential doubts and fragmented memories. He mistrusts authority and refuses to be controlled, channeling his rage into rebellion against those who engineered him. Though his behavior often borders on reckless, he shows glimpses of loyalty to those who acknowledge him as more than just a copy. This tension between survival instinct and the desire for recognition defines his conflicted personality.
