History
Ran was born a Geshrin in YE 8 to a poor, Japanese family. Ran was immediatly inducted to the lifestyle of a samurai, as her father was quite an advocate of the traditional Japanese ways. Because with both her, and her little brother, her parents could not make enough money to sustain them both, they pleaded with the Ketsurui to adopt her into their clan so she might live a good life, even if they could not.
The Ketsurui accepted the plea, on the condition that her father give up all legal ties to Ran beforehand, and vote on behalf of the Ketsurui on all public affairs. So the deal was done. At the age of only 3 years old, Ran was adopted by the Ketsurui and swapped into an NH-9 body. She trained for many years under the Samurai lifestyle, and mastered the old Japanese art of Kurama-Ryu Kenjutsu.
Only mere days afterward, she was pulled aside and told that her real parents were dead. She asked what had happened, but was given no explanation. She assumed they had fallen ill during a business expedition to another world. Ran begged to be let go from the Ketsurui so that she may pursue her life.
Sidenote: She advanced her body model every 6 years from the NH-9 until she was 18
She was told she could never leave the Ketsurui, but when she said she wanted to join the Star Army of Yamatai, it was agreed that she would be allowed to as long as she never cut off ties with Ketsurui. At the age of 18, she swapped into an NH-27 body and joined the Star Army.
Through the next four years she served loyally and honorably and completed many various tasks given to her, until eventually she reached the rank of Nitô Juni. One day, just before she was going to head back to Yamatai on shore leave (after four years straight of service), she was told that she was being transferred to the YSS Sakura.
After a brief respite aboard the Sakura, she was immediatly thrust into battle twice in the next 24 hours. She was hardly seen at all during the first battle, but in the second, she commited herself to the fight against the Mishhuvurthyar and made mincemeat out of a large number of their ships and attack pods.
Anecdote: Due to Kurama-Ryu Kenjutsu utilizing the pinky to put pressure upon the hilt of the sword, her pinky was kept when she soul transfered to an NH-27. Though it could also be said that she was merely used to it being there.
Skills
Communication: Ran 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. Ran is fluent in English and Japanese.. She can speak and write both correctly and efficiently and can write reports, fill forms, issue orders under fire, etc. She is also proficient in Telepathy.
Fighting: Ran received hand-to-hand combat training, followed up with a rigorous training program. She is adept in the art of kenjutsu, and practices it daily. She is skilled and experienced in combat both in Yamatai-like conditions and in zero-gravity, with and without weapons. Weapons she is trained in include energy pistols, knives, swords, and power armor.
Technology Operation: Ran is capable of operating any computer system that uses the Kessaku OS, found on all Star Army starships. She is proficient in entering and/or searching for information.
Mathematics: Ran received basic mathematics training, up to and including algebra and trigonometry.
Physical: Throughout her life Ran has honed her body to near perfection.

Her mastery of Kenjutsu, Iaijutsu, and Battoujutsu is complete. She knows all advanced techniques of the Kurama-Ryu school.
Domestic: Due to her many long years serving as the "woman of the house" in her family, Ran is adept at quickly and efficiently completing domestic household chores, including sewing together ripped clothes, basic cooking, cleaning, and fixing minor problems with many things. She is versatile, but she is not a master of any household chore. However, even the basics are very useful!
Knowledge: Ran was born with an abnormally high intellect. Therefore she has quite the ability to retain information. She has learned many things about her universe, including the laws of Yamatai, the history of the known universe, and intergalactic politics.
