[hider=Ryoma] [b]Name:[/b] Ryoma Kougami [hider=Appereance] [img] http://i.imgur.com/Xi2z9SM.jpg [/img] [/hider] [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Age:[/b] 25 [b]Job:[/b] MAX FIRE Head Robot Development Scientist [b]Personality:[/b] Proud and inquisitive, Ryoma can be said to be a over-enthusiastic (or obsessed depending on the person) with the topic of machines, more specifically the Promethion, being more than happy with any outcome that lets him see how far his Magnum opus can be pushed or improved and being prone to holding grudges to those who badmouth his creations. Outwardly, however, he tends to try his best to not to show that part of him, bottling his emotions to appear more easy-going than he really is to get on people’s good graces. [b]Skills:[/b] He’s a mathematical and engineering genius, capable of creating engineering marvels such as the Promethion. Ryoma wasn’t just chosen because of his engineering talents, but also for his ability to keep his cool in difficult times and be capable of handling and overseeing large amounts of people and projects without breaking a sweat. [b]Short Bio:[/b] Making it into national headlines at a young age due to skipping ahead several grades and attending a prestigious American college at the age of 11, he would meet Higini Somporn for the first time while he was giving a lecture. Despite their difference in age, both of them quickly became friends and Higini would become a sort of parental figure to Ryoma. After finishing college Ryoma would become one of the youngest persons working for NASA, at the age of 19 years old, working with other brilliant minds to finding more efficient ways to reach other planets. Unfortunately, they had to stop looking at the endless sky when the monsters started appearing down here. Still, the monsters were too strong. They easily brushed off most the of attacks, causing lots of casualties and collateral damage before they finally died, which would occur in just time for another one of them to come out and start the cycle anew. Ryoma worked with other scientists united by Higini to seek a solution and hope seemed lost until something in the aftermath of all the rampages was discovered, Etherion. The Etherion was a strange substance, with many unknown characteristics and properties, but even with little info they had about it, they knew it was their only tool against them. In the middle of the chaos, he would find himself overseeing the project. Now that the Promethion was ready, the only thing left would be to find someone brave and mad enough to pilot its different components. Thought that task was delegated to commander Shourichi, while Ryoma kept his position as the Promethion developer and oversees the development of new functions for the Promethion along with other less scientific tasks like gaining public trust since he is the face of the MAX FIRE organization along with the pilots.
