Dark brown eyes glare at most other people around him as his presence seems to fill any room he’s in. He has visible scars, one that bisects his left eye though he never tells anyone how he got it, and everyone in the NSF assumes it’s from his time in the military. His black hair is kept closely cropped and styled. When speaking his voice is very calm no matter the circumstances and a deep baritone. His everyday wear is usually some form of dark turtleneck and sweats. His uniform is the JSDF standard modified for the NSF, along with his usual service medals. Outside of work and off the base, he’s in jeans and gaming hoodies.

[/color] [color=Gold][b]Biography[/b][/color] [color=Silver] Takachi was born in the military base in Okinawa, Japan. His Father, Leif was there serving as an officer when he’d met his mother, Kara there. What started as a one night stand became a steady relationship and the two were married a few years later. Kara gave birth to him there, just before Leif got transferred from that station to one on the mainland in Tokyo. He would move around with his parents, though he was usually at his grandparent’s home in Hokkaido. When Tokyo was nuked, Takachi was with his American grandparents in Los Angeles. It was upsetting to him, since his mother and her unborn second child had been there, visiting friends and were killed. His father was enraged, as in the attempt to save as many as he could, he lost his right arm, and his wife and unborn child. He recovered, getting a cybernetic one to replace it so he could continue his work in his company, Black Steele. Takachi showed interest in the military growing up, which his grandfather eagerly approved of, stating it was better than his father’s mercenary work. He had him trained in martial arts, marksmanship and with a gleeful smile that Takachi came to fear, Infiltration and Extraction. By the time came for him to join, he was shunted into the Officer Program, earning high marks. IT was noted that during this time, in a training accident, Takachi got his left eye slashed, the eye itself was fine, however the scar remained. When he was finally out at 18, he’d proven to be the best infiltrator in his class. He would go on to earn several commendations for his wetworks ops battling corporate espionage and other threats. When the NSF was announced, his CO immediately recommended him to join it, since his skills would be useful and citing a promotion. Takachi agreed, and signed on, stating that he would do his country and kin proud.[/color] [color=Gold][b]Affiliations[/b][/color] [color=Silver] Jyu Rikashi: Grandfather, retired JSDF Colonel.
