Personality

Kenjiro is a mysterious figure. Most of the time he would join in conversations but never make a reference to his background, determined to carve out his own identity. He is a very sensitive person within, able to detect every semblance of emotion. He ignores his own emotions when carrying out his work for he thinks that a military outfit needs strength, and emotions are a sign of weakness. Kenjiro is most often diplomatic and distant when dealing with people.

He is likely to make extremely loyal friends over a span of time but acquaintances tend to be wary of his probing and intense eyes. He is patient and almost never loses his cool but passive anger tends to build up in this young man, and when released, it is best not to be on the receiving end.

Likes: Soft music. He loves listening to music and basking in the serene silence. He also likes writing.
Dislikes: Being compared to his father or brother, judgemental types and bossy superiors.
Goals: To give himself a purpose and a unique identity, to prove his worth so that his family would accept him for who he is.

History

Born as a Geshrin, Kenjiro was raised under the household of an upper-middle class family. Both his father and brother serve in the Combat Arm of the Star Army of Yamatai and are ranking officers in the service. They have trained Kenjiro in basic military stances and provided physical instruction hoping that he would follow in their honourable footsteps. He grew up in a strict and regimental family that is based on a military code of conduct. Whilst he did grow to like the discipline, within he craved to explore the more human side of life and constantly engaged his mother in philosophical discussions on life.

In school Kenjiro found a passion in music but was never allowed to pick up an instrument. He was directed to sports, where he excelled but never loved the competition. He did very well in humanities, and his essays were exceptional, as he had a flair for expressing his thoughts. His knack for remembering things in full colour and grandeur contributed to his growing expanse of creative memory.

Towards the end of high school, Kenjiro soul-transferred to his Yamataian body at the urging of his parents. What most do not see immediately is his determination to preserve Geshrin culture and mannerisms.

When he graduated from school, he joined the Star Army, much to the delight of his family but when he decided to be a caretaker, he was deemed a disgrace to the family tradition. Nonetheless, he perservered, determined to contribute in his own way and hopes to one day regain the favour of his family but proving his talents.

Skills
Domestic: Kenjiro often spent time with his mother when his father and brother were not at home and learnt to help her with her cooking and basic household chores like the laundry.

Humanities: Kenjiro is a deep thinker and he would constantly question the nature of the world, becoming a natural philosopher. He was always fascinated with the way behaviors and personalities were so different, hence is also rather well versed in psychology.

Communication: Kenjiro is familiar with basic radio operation and procedures and can make transmissions to and receive transmissions from other characters through headsets, starships, power armor, and shuttles in both combat and non-combat conditions. He is fluent in English and Japanese. He can speak and write both correctly and efficiently and can write reports, fill forms, issue orders under fire, etc.

Fighting: Kenjiro received hand-to-hand combat training, followed up with a rigorous training program. He is skilled and experienced in combat both in Yamatai-like conditions and in zero-gravity, with and without weapons. Weapons he is trained in include energy pistols, energy rifles, grenades, knives, and power armor.

Technology Operation: Kenjiro is capable of operating any computer system that uses the Kessaku OS, found on all Star Army starships. He is proficient in entering and/or searching for information.

Knowledge:
Kenjiro relentlessly pursued greater knowledge in world history. He practiced critical analysis of case studies and often crafts his own understanding and stand on many historical issues. He also has a photographic memory capable of reproducing minute details.
 
It doesn't say anywhere in the history that he soul-transferred to a Yamataian body. I mean, I know it's sort of a given since it says "born a Geshrin" and you have "Yamataian" as your race, but it's still a huge event in a character's life.

It'd be nice if you could please put that in your history somewhere.

Oh, and keep in mind that Yamatians haven't been around all that long, so he couldn't have become a Yamataian at a young age.


Other than that, it looks pretty good, but I suggest fleshing out his personality a bit more, since it's a bit strange that a Geshrin would have a personality like that. A cold 'shell' exterior is something normally attributed to Ketsurui Samurai.
 
Personality-wise, Geshrins and Yamataians can have any personality that a human can have. Plenty of the Yamataian player characters here "wear a mask of indifference". It's even a bit cliched, but I won't hold that against you. :)
 
Pshaw, I didn't read the "mask" part. I thought he was saying his character really "had no emotions." :[ Sorry about that.
 
Distinguishing Features: He has a small scar on his elbow after falling off his bike and landing on a granite road when he was young.

Please remove that part, and I'll approve your character. :)

Geshrins and Yamataians don't really scar. Other than that, this bio looks pretty darn good. :)

It's okay if you don't want to give out your real name. Just a nickname, age, and email would be fine.
I believe Mizuho has scars, but its by personal choice. She decided not to keep her regeneration active... he could do this, no?
