History

Sakoda was born YE 10, but only lived with his parents till he was five years old. They both died in a terrorist bombing, leaving Sakoda alone on Nepleslia. He lived alone till he was seven years old, hiding from the gangs that caused most of the trouble on the streets. He lived by stealing what food he needed, and by stealing money from where he could. When he was eight years old, He found the street gang that was ran by a man named Satoya Tadao. He allowed Sakoda to join the small gang of about ten people. He traveled around a bit, with the gang. This let him see other places, but his home was always on Nepleslia. Seeing many different worlds, he learned the customs and how what the other races looked like. When they where on Nepleslia, there seemed to always be some sort of street war going on.The larger gangs would openly attack the police force, as long as the other gangs. The small group Sakoda lived with, avoid these fights, but rather snuck into the unguarded areas to steal what they needed to live. Living with the gang, he learned many things he had to learn to live on the streets. He finally at the age of twelve decided he wanted to leave Nepleslia, he started to save what little money he could find. After six years, on his eighteenth birthday, He purchased a small ship that was barely space worthy. The ship only had 2 small weapons on it, just enough to attack small ships and raid them. He never tried to join either one of the army's, He felt that he could never follow orders given to him. So he turned to pirating, and raiding other ships. He stole what he could and sold what he stole.


Skills

Fighting: He has spent the last 13 years of his life living on the streets of Nepleslia. He has learned much about fighting, and of battle. He fought in small street wars at times, But this was the way of the place he lived gangs roamed and ruled most of the streets. He is very good at fighting with weapons and blades of any sort. He never really used hand to hand, enless it was just friendly fighting with people he was close to. He has not had much of a chance to learn how to use power armor, but is sure if he could get a hold of some, he could learn to use it.

Rogue: Living on the streets taught him many things. He learned to pick locks , and how to pick pocket people. He quickly picked up on how to hide things in plain sight. He learned to live and how to stay alive. Growing up in the hell that many of the places he stay at where, He learned quickly many places to look for people and to find them when they did not wish to be found.

Physical: From his training and many years on the streets of Nepleslia, He learned he had to be quick about things as to avoid the larger gangs and the police forces. He usually had to fit into many weird places, and jump or run to others.

Medical: Sakoda never had much money, and could never find a place that would care for wounds, and broken bones for free. He learned the hard way, that he had to take care of injuries. After he became free he was on the street alone. He quickly learned that, he needed to clean and wrap wounds, and that he needed to brace a broken bone.

Maintenance and Repair: He has worked on small ships for year, helping with repairs to pay for his way to places. This helped him out a lot when he was trying to find a reliable ship to buy. He does all of his own repairs to his ship, Its time consuming but he does not trust anyone else to do it.

Military: He has never really been able to use much in the way of military tactics, but he did learn a few things from the leader of the small street gang he joined. He learned places to stay, so that he was hidden well as he slept so no one would kill him in his sleep.

Vehicles: He has stole many things over the years, plus he had many times to read and watch others. This gave him time to learn to drive most anything. He does not have the money to buy a tank or a Mecha or even a car that mater, but he has had the chance to pilot most vehicles at least one time.


OOC Notes

I'm just going to make a brief comment, that the name is fairly stereotypical, and I'm not sure I like it...

But then again, should I be talking? Only two of my characters (including NPCs) have vaguely-Japanese-sounding names, most of them aren't actually names one would think of people actually having, and two of them only have one name! (In my defense, one of them is an organic computer shell.)

Also, you may find that this character bio is a bit too 'special' - especially for first-time characters, we prefer that characters are made that way through RP rather than out of the gate. You may be more suited joining one of the currently-existing factions, because there is a very high failure rate for independents in this setting.
 
Yoko, I'm pretty sure, is a girl's name.

The history, unfortunately, doesn't mesh. If this kid were living on the streets, it would be the streets of Nepleslia, not Yamatai. There's also the problem of, well, having too many powerful skills and not enough character skills. In fact this person probably wouldn't exist anywhere on Yamatai; wearing weapons and gear like that away from a spaceport would be enough for civilian police and MP to look at the character sideways.

His seeming respect for government rules doesn't mesh well with being a pirate. (Dislikes: ... most governments and having to bide by the rules they set down.) The black tactical/fighting gear does make sense, however.

This family, moving around a lot ... to what places? That can be a crucial point, as it would imply possible cultural and character traits.

Finally, buying his own ship before he's even 18 ... that's pretty unlikely. Unless it was a junky transport or something. I get the whole street-urchin manifesto this character seems to have, but there needs to be a sacrifice in skills somewhere.

I would recommend removing leadership, or qualifying it to say that while he might be headstrong or sure of himself, he does not fully understand what it means to be a "commander." I imagine he would be too focused on other things, such as learning to fight and steal.

Why was he turned away from the Star Army, assuming he was on Nepleslia or Yamatai and was able to apply?

Keep at this bio. This could be a very useful character to some of the independent plots on the SARP, but from your writing of the bio and history, you need some help. That we can give in spades.
