History
Cain was born in YE 06 and grew up with his parents and his brother in Kyoto, on planet Yamatai. His father was a shipwright, who mainly made cargo ships for transporting various goods around the galaxy. At an unfortunate accident when Cain was 17, his father died working in his shipyard. Cain's mother used to work at WickedArms Industries as an accountant. Cain's brother Abel ran away from home at the age of sixteen to join a pirate crew. His whereabouts are unknown.

When the Yamataians bodies were introduced, Cain was somewhat reluctant to give up his Geshrin body, but the benefits of the switch convinced him and he swapped bodies. Shortly after this, Cain became interested in joining the Star Army to see and experience new things on other star systems and the ships.

(My first character. Feel free to make suggestions/corrections.)

EDIT1: Ok, history and skills are fixed. I haven't really thought what plotship I should join, I'm thinking about it.
 
Welcome to Star Army! Pleasure to have you joining up to our community here. I'm Doshii, for reference's sake.

1. Very ... Christian names. Not bad, of course, but slightly odd on Yamatai.

2. History ... is flawed. WickedArms Industries folded a while back, so the mother can't still work there. Also, a shipyard blowing up would be a pretty big deal normally, unless it was a small private shipyard, which would be a strange. So probably you should make the history a little more vague.

3. Format those skills! There's still boilerplate text in them.

4. What are your aspirations for this character? Have you considered any plots?
 
Character Approved.

Sorry it took so long - we didn't know you had done any edits. Nex ttime, you may want to bump the topic.
