Name: Mochizuki Sayoko
Gender: Female, Jiyuuian
Physical & Psychological Description: Middle 20's, 5'6" height, medium length green hair, fairly slender body that is hidden away by the grey greatcoat collar of the IPG. There is also a large scar on her left shoulder as a reminder of her fateful encounter with the Mishhvurthyar in the recent past, and this sensitive area is often covered with a piece of light armor for protection (as her NH-22C body has not fully regenerated it even years afterward). If one looks closely, you can see a small UOC Peacekeeper former colonial insignia on it as a sign of her devotion even now.
Sayoko gets along well as part of a team and is generally an outgoing person, although she always seems to keep a comfortable distance between herself and others, in part due to the racial prejudices inherent between Neplesians and her kind, and also her strange quirk that some people just can't really relate to. During the day she is a reliable worker and graceful under fire, but at night she seems completely different... haunted as she is by uncomfortable dreams, she will often resort to sedative drugs just to get a good night's sleep.
Skills: Sayoko is proficient in IPG basic and the Advanced skills in Intelligence gathering, as well as being especially good at forensics and xenobiology. Also, her former UOC Peacekeeper soldier training comes into play for combat, as she will sometimes employ Jiyuuian technology such as medkits and a NovaCorp Xaser blaster pistol for soft targets.
Background: A former enlisted member of the UOC Peacekeeper forces that was a survivor of the brutal invasion of the Tange system by the Mishhuvirthuyar. Although a fairly 'green' Peacekeeper 2nd class rank at the time of the invasion, she nevertheless fought to secure the escape routes of refugees alongside Neplesia's Operation Dynamo. While trying to direct civilians at the Hizagari spaceport, she had the unlucky fate to be hit by a parasite and started to black out as the Mishhu nuerotoxins began to invade her thoughts and make her turn on her allies. Fortunately one of them was able to snipe the nasty beast off her shoulder with a well-aimed shot just in time, and medics evacuated her to a transport off world before the place was overrun. Unconscious for some time, her body was able to regenerate most of the damage yet something had clearly been.. changed.. somehow by the encounter.
Although shaken up by the whole ordeal, Sayoko was determined to get back to her peacekeeping duties and help ensure the safety of her people in the refugee camps on Neplesia and Pryedain. Although she was highly skilled, her integration process into the Nepleslian ranks was hampered by a set of recurring nightmares that had begun to trouble her in her sleep. Some were easy to chalk up as just tentacle-filled visions of post-traumatic stress syndrome from the horrors she had experienced, like many of her fellow Jiyuuians (at least that is what the psychologists told her). But then it began to get more strange, as the dreams turned into sorts of "visions" and brief altered states of consciousness sometimes even during the day. She tried her best to keep a lid on the erratic behaviors and explain it away as rationally as her mind having had some lingering brain chemistry damage from the parasite.
However, when she finished her training and started field work in the IPG Intelligence units, this curse began to turn into a twisted sort of blessing... for the visions were starting to make some kind of sense as a series of whispers, cryptic clues, warnings and the like manifested from somewhere else. This spooky ability was something she only shared in confidence with a very select group of people as the secret of her otherwise uncanny luck in cracking some hopeless situations, lest her superiors really think she has lost it and is unfit for duty. Little did she know, the higher-ups knew exactly what she was capable of and had a plan in mind...
