Psychological Characteristics

Personality:
Saito Altair is a serious fellow. He has a deep-seated desire to succeed, and indeed, excel, due to his Family’s circumstances and his own upbringing. He is very proud that he is the first of his Family to become a Yamataian, and even more proud that he is the first to serve in the Star Army. He is startlingly modest about his skill at flying, often underselling his achievements. Thus he obeys orders to the letter, and when on duty is singularly focused on the task at hand. He also possesses a bit of a solidarity streak, preferring being alone to spending time with others. This can be mitigated, however, by camaraderie within Command and Squadrons. He is fiercely loyal to his friends, and to the Star Empire, and will kill without hesitation to protect them. Once you get past the stoicism, he is fairly genial, more than willing to swap stories and enjoy a drink or two.

History

Saito was born by Nepleslian Ex-patriots who fled to Yamatai after the murder of Emperor Ketsurui Saito. Their family, which survived the following PNUgen plague mostly intact, and upgraded to Geshrin at the first opportunity. They were not, however, particularly well off, and had no members of the family in the military. Saito was the first generation of Altair to be born on Yamataian. Saito, who was named for the first Emperor, worked with the singular purpose of joining the Star Army of Yamatai. YE 28 he transferred his consciousness to a Yamataian body, the first of his family to do so. Several months afterwards he enlisted in the Star Army. Basic Training went well, where showed skill in combat both armed and unarmed, and he moved on to Advanced Training, where his Instructors discovered his true talent. Power Armor. Saito Altair is a superb Power Armor user, able to keep up with, and at times surpass Nekovalkyjra Infantry. His instructors were impressed, enough to recommend an immediate tour of duty for him upon his graduation from Boot Camp. Having just graduated, he is awaiting an assignment, and hopes to reach the action ASAP.

1. The Ketsurui suspected a family to be spies? When? Why? That's a large assumption to make about the ruling family, especially since none of this is RP'd out. And without that assumption, you lose a big part of your character's back story. You need to PM Wes about this, and ask him.

2. Skills:

a. Starship Operation's second clause isn't specific enough. How does it extend beyond starfighters? Where did he learn to pilot one? Where did he learn to pilot at all?

b. Tech Op, Communications, Fighting and Mathematics are not standardized. They need to be.

c. For Physical, how does he maintain his condition? What physical things can he do well, if any?

d. As a new player, I strongly, strongly advise you against taking Leadership. Nothing in the RP justifies your character having such a skill, and he is a bottom-rung soldier, so he has power over none. I have no power to tell you that you CAN'T take it ... but you could fill it with a different skill that helps define your character differently.

Overall: A good first start, just a big trip-up on that history. When Wes rules on it, then we'll figure it out. As for plot choices, power armor pilot would probably work better for you, but starfighters are usually OK.

This character is pending. The submitter needs to address the list of edits above, then bump the thread when it is ready to be reviewed again.
 
Easier to just change the backstory rather than bother Wes with it, IMO. I'll work with it...

Edit: Ok, Made him a Power Armor Pilot, fixed History, standardized skills that needed standardization, fixed Physical, removed Leadership and Starship Operations, added Maintenance, Knowledge, and Entertainment.

Hope this is better!

SC.
