Approved Character Horonbairu Aeto

Aeto

Inactive Member
Name: Horonbairu Aeto
General Information
Species: Geshrin
Gender: Male
Age: 23

Family (or Creators): Horonbairu Soun(father, deceased), Horonbairu Marissa (mother), Makimari Junko(sister, elder)

Employer: Star Army of Yamatai
Occupation: Science, Researcher
Rank: Santô Hei
Current Assignment:

Physical Characteristics
Height: 6'3" - 190.5cm
Weight: 185lbs - 83.8kg

Build and Skin Color: As a pillar of the scientific community, Aeto isn't exactly a rippling tower of muscle. He is well toned, built enough to fit within an element of soldiers, but not hideously pumped. His broad shoulders exaggerate his build a bit, especially when wearing loose clothing. Bench presses are the fashion cautious man's best friend. Aeto's skin is an uneven caramel, solid toned about most of his body except for the light area around his eyes and his slightly darkened back.
Facial Features and Eye Color: Aeto's face is plain, almost like an untouched mold of what would be pretty later on. His face is smooth, as he hasn't grown facial hair much past a few sprouts on his chin. The violet hue of his eyes are often hidden because of his slender, nearly close eyes, contrasting slightly by the azure eyebrows.
Hair color and Style: His hair is straight, glossy strands of different yet consistent shades of blue near azure. The hair reaches down to his shoulders, and comes close to covering his left eye.

Distinguishing Features: Aeto has darkened notches on his nose from when his glasses were broken on his face during a...scuffle. For the same reason, seasoned bar hoppers would notice the cigarette burn on his left hand.

Aeto's canines are larger than the average Geshrin.

Psychological Characteristics
Personality: Aeto is disturbed to a tolerable extent, more of a person one must get used to. As a first impression, others often meet the young researcher in one of his more calm, quiet moods, but when put in familiar situations Aeto will more often than not push the morals and patience of those around him as far as he feels. Though he can keep such random urges under control and maintain his composure as an officer, he hardly attempts to hide his rambunctious attitude. This wild behavior would seem to be a facade for those who have known him longer, as Aeto prefers to be alone in quiet places. Truth be told, he simply seeks to make the world around him adapt to his moods. Motivated by only money, free urges, video games and sexual desires, Horonbairu Aeto represents the true form of an Executive Slacker.

Likes: Sleeping, eating, jogging, video games, foreign pornography.
Dislikes: Snobbish women, asskissers, attention whores, mashed potatoes.
Goals: To build a massive Drive Cannon that can pinpoint a 1cm/1cm center of impact from across a distance of 100 light years without positional/time lag with a destructive power of a conventional warhead, while mounted on a soldier's back.

And solve his slight dandruff problem.

History

Hailing from nondescript lands among Elysia terrain, Horonbairu Aeto's legacy began among a Research and Engineering facility, based on Albini. As one of the subjects of the research, Aeto was educated and conditioned into becoming a qualified successor to the research facility staff, while being a self-sufficient developer that could perform controlled field tests to improve productivity. The facility's training program was both academic and athletically geared, though dominated by the Weapons and Defense package given to a private sector research laboratory on Albini. "My machine is my glory" was the motto of those who graduated from the training program, which eventually grew into a University in order to harbor public interest without giving a full view of their operations.

Students were assigned to pursue a lifelong field of research at the age of 12, in order to devote their minds into developments that took advantage of fruitful young minds, eventually progressing into matured fruits of their lifelong labors. Aeto's field was Weapon Systems, specifically the integration of large scaled weaponry and their scaling to the warfighter's hands. Most of his brief projects ranged from increasing the longevity of assault rifles and easily concealed, yet severely effective melee weapons to his personally written blueprints of the Global Intelligent Missile Array(GIMA). His assignment of writing the GIMA was simple, but with an expensive element he couldn't grasp at such a young age.

The GIMA plan was Aeto's idea for a full-scale missile monitoring system and Operational Tracking system. Missile tracks, rather than being estimated by shipboard and station software, would be plotted by the physical path as the missile would launch. Hard evidence of the missile capabilities and performance in certain conditions would be recorded, and future launches would be automatically offset to compensate for such changes. This would give forward-deployed force commanders a better view of their offensive capabilities, and stationary facilities would know the range of their missiles to a deeper extent. However, such monitoring would not only demand a dedicated node for cording, but durable sensors that would need to be replaced as jamming techniques would be developed. A pipedream at the most, but when Aeto published his detailed blueprints it had potential to be more than just wishful thinking. Outside of their academic pursuits, the students were expected to be adept in the skills of those that would make use of their developments. At the age of 14, Aeto began the second phase of the school's conditioning, simulated warfighting scenarios.

While Aeto was not a child prodigy with the ranks of a self–sufficient super soldier, his performance and that of the other graduates exceeded expectations of the training facility. Aeto was released at the age of 21 in YE 26 with degree in Engineering and since has pursued a degree in Computer Information Systems. As a member of the 2nd graduating class, ranked 7 out of 1040, Aeto was recommended to supplement orders within the Star Army of Yamatai that existing Research officers have since overlooked. Long since overlooking the recommendation, Aeto has been stuck on Elysia in an attempt to make use of his talents in a society where the elite are useless.


Skills:

-Communication: Aeto is fluent in both English and Japanese, an accomplished writer in both languages and into a strange waste of his free time called role playing on "play-by-post" forums, in which a person spends hours and hours of their lives pretending to be someone else. He is a qualified Information System technician, adept in Message Traffic Processing, Afloat, Ashore, and Space-deployed communication systems within Yamatai Fleet broadcasting standards and radio/digital communications.

-Technology Operation: Aeto 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, and in the future will possibly be involved of most of Star Army's digital assets.

-Medical and Science: Field trained while a cadet of private school on Albini, Aeto is trained in field medical operations/first aid and can actively staff in a Medical Bay onboard Star Army infirmaries.

-Fighting: Aeto 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, knives, and power armor. Aeto favors the melee weapon NODACHI and has favored the art of sawed off shotguns.

-Engineering - Aeto's primary interests in metallurgy sprouted into new heights when introduced to the outside world of mechanics, when his love of metal working was infused with the modern conveniences of ballistics, electricity, energy, and hydrodynamic studies. He takes great pleasure in developing weapon components and structures.

-Mathematics: As a technical student in his earlier years, math was never one of Aeto's favorite subjects, though it was bored into him religiously. Simple calculations, although tedious at times, grind against his more carefree technique of screwing around until something works.

-Public Speaking: Being both educated as a gentleman and possessing the personality of a loudmouthed jackass, Aeto is gifted with speaking to different crowds, whether it be official gatherings or to rouse the spirits of rebellious Star Army soldiers. The latter may or may not happen.

You'll need that rank on the forums first before I can approve this bio (hint: Contact info thread and an introduction post will do it).
On his right hand, seasoned bar hoppers will notice the cigarette burn on his left hand.

blueprints of the Global Intelligent Missile Array(GIMA). Outside of their academic pursuits, the students were expected to be adept in the skills of those that would make use of their developments. At the age of 14, Aeto was attached to undisclosed ground forces on Albini to include WEEKEX Butterfly, Operation Broken Hilt, and Operation Defunct Plague. While Aeto was not a child prodigy with the ranks of a self–sufficient super soldier, his performance and that of the other graduates spelled success for the Weapons and Defense package program. Aeto was released at the age of 21 with degree in Engineering and since has pursued a degree in Computer Information Systems. As a member of the 2nd graduating class, ranked 7 out of 1040,
There's a lot of stuff in here that is not based in the canon SARP universe, such as the thing with ground forces and the names of these programs. Also, note he couldn't have have been on Alibini during the lat few months or so, since the Mishhuvurthyar recently killed everyone there.
 
Corrected the above grammatical errors, and I've changed his history to a more generalized sense. Now, should I be getting rid of it completely, making it a generic issue of events like I have it now, or could I make it into a Star Army funded cadet training? Not at all keen on the latter, and I'm not sure if there is a policy/IC moral issue for having youths in that kind of training. What are my choices?

I also edited the history to show that Aeto left in YE 26 for Elysia after being released. Is the YE system counted the same as our Julian date, or am I missing something?
 
you need the skill mathematics to be in the army..... so you'll have to get rid of either engineering, public speaking (Didn't know this was on the CCG), or Knowledge and replace it with Mathematics.
 
I was going to knock off the Knowledge Public Speaking since it was listed for officers on the CCG, but I suppose that can go for later. Changed.
 
GIMA description added, though it's just a set of blueprints for a class assignment. Nothing I want to actually exist, just to show his thinking capacity.
 
Character approved.
