Name: James Dige
General Information
Species: Geshrin
Gender: Male
Age: 26
Family / Creators: Father: Gerard Dige (Alive) Mother: Angela Dige (Alive)
Employer: Star Army
Occupation: Power Armor Pilot
Rank: Santô Hei
Current Assignment: YSS Miharu, NJ-X1-00
Physical Characteristics
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 160 lbs.
Build and Skin Colour: James is built like a boxer, blending the best of both agility and strength. The time he spent inside simulators has left him with a very pale Caucasian skin tone.
Facial Features and Eye Colour: James' face is rather angular, with a sharp jawline, slim nose and thin lips. His eyes are a steel-colored, bluish-gray.
Hair Colour and Style: James' hair is light brown, although you'd never know it unless you were right on top of him. He keeps his hair buzzed close to his skull.
Distinguishing Features: James' entire body is covered in an extensive network of tattooed patterns. These don't really serve a purpose other than to "look cool" (in his own words). The brownish-black tribal design starts around his ankles and ends up halting on his neck.
Psychological Characteristics
Personality:
Outside of battle, James is a laid-back, goofy, and kind guy. His quirky sense of humor and oddball sarcasm can cause quite a few eyes to roll, but his genial nature and biting wit more than make up for it.
Once the heat's turned up, though, James assumes a completely different air. He becomes focused and protective of his crewmates. After all, that tin can he's fighting to keep afloat is his ticket back.
Likes: Jokes, women, relaxed environments, vacations, Power Armor
Dislikes: Interruptions, insects, mushrooms, cold showers
Goals: Get to retire in one piece! Hopefully with something to his name...
History
Born in YE 03 to parents of no real accomplishment or political standing on Yamatai, James Dige always dreamed of one day soaring around the vast emptiness of space, fighting for a great and noble cause against beings of evil and malicious intent. His only obsticle was that he lacked the initiative and will to actually get up and do anything about it. He finally mustered up the courage to enlist to begin training as a Power Armor pilot at the conclusion of the Battle of Nepleslia in YE 26, thinking that after the tremendous losses that the Star Army suffered, they'd need replacement soldiers. The rigorous training he recieved shaped him into a capable operative in the field...at least, in simulation. Untested in real battle, he recieved average marks and is awaiting assignment, eager to prove himself.
Skills
Communication: James 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. James is fluent in English. He can speak and write both correctly and efficiently and can write reports, fill forms, issue orders under fire, etc.
Fighting: James 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.
Technology Operation: James 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.
Mathematics: James received basic mathematics training, to including up to algebra and trigonometry.
Fighting and Physical (Power Armor): James received much more training in piloting power armors than most other Star Army soldiers. He knows the ins and outs of a power armor system and is able to diagnose and solve minor to moderate system problems (electronic malfunctions, intake problems), and can perform rudimentary repairs (very basic) with proper tools. He can operate hand-controlled flight systems.
Physical: James is quite lithe and agile when it comes to moving around, especially in zero-gravity. His constant training also allows him to move quickly over long distances for sustained periods of time.
Survival and Military: James is competent in terrain navigation and has a knack for creating rough-shod shelters out of the surrounding environment. He has a passing understanding of camouflage as well.
