[u][b]Appearance:[/b][/u] Native to Japan he sticks closely to the heritage and looks of his countrymen, glasses, black hair and a height of around 5’5. Has burn scars on one arm from a battery that exploded trying to stop a radio setting on fire. [u][b]Bio:[/b][/u] Born in Japan to Japanese parents his early life was not too different or special. He has a brother who is 2 years younger and was a bit of a difficult younger child but found his feet eventually. He was not the most academic and more of a technically minded person, he had been several years of a rather complicated time until he found his feet. His brother had been a more traditional son, better with his brain than hands and Kanje. He was much faster at learning symbols and letters. Someone later had said he was probably dyslexic and that was also why he had decided to join the Japanese defence forces at 20, having felt rather less comfortable in the offices etc working as an trainee. He was a young soldier during the haven fall, with an interest in drones, a girlfriend and things were going good. Then chaos came, he was separated from her and stuck on the other side of the country. She was sadly lost Post disaster by the shortages of insulin. He had mourned as he worked in an improvised rescue and search unit. This experience was noted and he was moved to a rapidly founded experimental unit. The drones had saved thousands of lives so they had moved to invest in the skills. Japan was stuck in tradition but they invested heavily in new technology when it came. With that end and looking at return to regular service, he chose to retire and take an offer from the civil search and rescue units that were always looking for men and women. Just because Haven fell. The earthquakes and more did not stop. Japan was a country exposed to multiple threats of nature. Daytrip eventually approached him. They wanted a specialist, he wanted money. Being search and rescue was honorable but not well paid. A leave of absence and he could buy a house. He said yes. [u][b]Analysis:[/b][/u] Retiring as an equivalent as a Sgt, he was a radio operator in the JSDF, before being moved into their experimental drone programmes. Skilled in several areas and also thanks to a period in development and private interest. Became fairly skilled in field electronic repair and such work. Recruited because the potential of a drone operator was too good to miss. has a lot of experience in disaster recovery and austere environments. b][u]Service History:[/u][/b] Enlisted in JSDF. Assigned to 11th brigade, later Radio specialist. Air assault unit. Spent 8 years assigned to the same unit, rose in ranks and also became a skilled master Radio operator. Transferred to the drone experimental unit, and experimental tactical recon programme. Retired military due to programme ending. Took a job, but found it hard to get work until disaster recovery and search and rescue came up. Worked in search and rescue during multiple earth causes and the like. Hired for Day trip as a specialist. The money offered would let him afford a house.
