[color=Red][b]Appearance[/b][/color]
[color=Silver]A very conservative gentleman, Ochisuita always dresses up formally even for the slightest bit of an afternoon walk. There's almost always only two sets of outfits you'll see him in. The first is his professional life, which consists of the simple black [url=https://img.roleplayerguild.com/prod/users/9ec85e78-505a-408f-991b-2d3092ee9e01.jpg]NSF's officer uniform[/url]. The second is his non-professional, which consists of a double button suit and tie all year round. The tone of the color ranged from blue to dark grey, sometimes dark green. A small badge of political membership is hooked on his left collar. In colder days, he'd be sporting a white overcoat and perhaps a long scarf. There is actually a third set of clothes: his private life, which is still as conservative as ever, but chances are you'd never see that from him, as he tended to keep his private life very...well private.

For his age, he was sometimes regarded as older than he should've been, and it was rather true. A rather turbulous life had led to some wrinkles spreading on his chiseled face. But make no mistakes, beneath the old cover is still a very well-built physique, one that can still rival a man in his prime. His black hair is noticeably short and combed-over, adding more to his formal impressions. 

Ochisuita also appears to limp on his right leg, due to his injury during the Korean expedition. This is accompanied with a walking cane that never left his side.[/color]

[color=Red][b]Personality[/b][/color]
[color=Silver]Everyone who has worked with Ochisuita has been known to brand this austere old man to be distrustful, and they all have a point. Ochisuita is a man of flexibility, in almost any possible way. He can be democratic when it suits the situation, but he can be brutally suppressive when it needs be. He can use very inhumane methods for his goals, but he also knows when to rub the wound. One of the few things inflexible and set in stone for this sharp man is his principle of pragmatism. It transcends his ideology. It defies morality. What matters is the end, not the means. And whoever has made their distrustful remarks couldn't help but admit that he was a useful asset if not essential. Once the job is given, he almost always finish with his characteristic brutal efficiency. But in the world full of nationalistic rhetorics, pragmatism would almost always be seen as two-faced.

On a professional level, Ochisuita is a man of little word, preferring to use concise locution and facial expressions to deliver his messages. And you can expect almost no jokes around this man, and even less lenience. An air of tension usually hung around him, as he seems to be watching your every move, judging you with his cold and calculated gaze, wondering to yourself what had you done this time. He demands results, and generally doesn't care how you achieve it.[/color]

[color=Red][b]Biography[/b][/color]
[color=Silver]Takeda Ochisuita is born in Kai, Japan. His family is a fairly well-off family, with Ochisuita's father being a senior police officer in his province, but their philosophy for their child was no hand sanitizer. What was given to a child was the minimum for him to survive. If he wanted his life to improve, he had to work for it. At first easy things like washing the dishes or clean the house for his family, but soon shifted to outside jobs. And they were nowhere being lenient. They were once fully content to let his child starve for months to prevent laziness from taking over his schedule. This put a dent on Ochisuita's relationship with his parent, but also ironed out his defining character.

Despite his rough childhood, Ochisuita still found great interests in education, and while his school attendances were meagre, his incredible effort in self-studying had given him vast amount of knowledge in history, economics, politics and philosophy. However, by the time he was 20, he dropped out of university due to lack of fundings and joined the JSDF. There, thanks to his earlier life, he quickly developed a reputation by all accounts to be an impeccable soldier, with unparalleled discipline and diligence. He easily rose through the ranks of the JSDF, quickly becoming a Junior Officer in the army, though he had little intentions on being a military commander. 

It was also here that Ochisuita met the group of men who would later form the notorious Jinrai corp. He found a lot of their ideas compatible, while the group had his well-developed reputation to admire the young soldier. They both shared a lot of worldviews, such as their wishes to abolish Article 9, that Japan should maintain a strong military presence, and that the current Japanese military is nowhere enough to deal with the current nuclear trend that the world is doing. However, Ochisuita and the Jinrais also disagreed on many aspects as well, such as military expansionism, approaches to diplomacy, etc. In fact Ochisuita might be the most critical of the Jinrai from within their ranks, but knowing that spouting everything you believe in could be detrimental, so he kept his mouth shut and enjoyed the social circle he had.

And the earlier worry turned into a nightmare, when Tokyo was nuked. This presented the Jinrai (now not called so) a perfect political base to ascend to power. Ochisuita's connection with the founding members proved a golden opportunity, as they offered the young Takeda a position as an intelligence officer in the Secret Service. He took this offer without hesitation, and he went through a brutal training to become a spy for the Jinrai. Again, his iron discipline carried him through the day, and he was soon deployed, at first to Neo-Tokyo, but then to Korea, where political turmoil were still running high. There, he gathered confidential government information, disrupted communications and sometimes took part in rooting out political oppositions. The latter job was particularly few in between, but among the few times he had to cock his guns, one of them was an assassination of a high profile government official. A successful one, but during the ensuing gunfight, Ochisuita took a high caliber bullet to his leg, badly damaging his kneecap. His partners luckily helped him escape, but this injury effectively ended his Korean expedition. He was transported back to Japan for treatment, and while prosthetics were highly recommended by the doctors, since they guaranteed quick recovery of movements, Ochisuita, for strange reasons, refused them and instead chose surgery to repair his damaged kneecap instead. Months of recovery went by and he recovered, although he still limped when he walked and had to use a walking cane.

Not seeing the prospect of an active service as an intelligence officer very promising due to his injury, the Jinrai assigned him a training position instead. It was during these times that Ochisuita's opinion of the Jinrai began to take a major downturn. The cracks of ideology that he hid during his JSDF days had shown its cracks. He had been long critical of some of their social and diplomatic policies, especially the concentration camps for foreigners, or the compete of Pacific territory with the South East Asian countries. He saw them as unnecessary and feelings-driven rather than for the good of the country, but tolerated them for their other better ideas. But the annexation of Korea? What the hell was that for? Didn't they realize what that could mean? The international community would descend upon Japan, like in World War 2. And you know what happened to them now.

And so the once diligent servant of the Jinrai, Ochisuita secretly plotted against them. The sudden election of the Prime Minister left a huge bitter taste in the military, and they prepared a coup. This unfortunately was intercepted by the former spy, and he feeded the information to the new cabinet, which effectively contributed to the coup's failure. He also destroyed some of the Secret Service's documents as well to prevent information falling into the wrong hands. 

When the NSF formed, the NSF leaders decided to offer one of the administrator's position to the former Jinrai spy. A bit of a surprise to the people who knew his reputation, but the NSF decided that they would rather have a potential opponent under their watch instead. For Ochisuita, the support for the current government may have been a necessary call to prevent a disaster, it was still a throwback to the old government that he found particularly ineffective that led to the Tokyo tragedy. For now, he could tolerate this, but who knows if he'll switch sides again.[/color]
