Orignally an Neplesian, Masakaji resettled to the Yugumo Cluster from Yamatai in YE 29. When the Jiyuuians declared independence in YE 30, he promptly joined the UOCPF. While he strongly believed in their cause as mediators, he was never one to shy away from violence. But despite his “aggressive/mercenary” tendencies, he managed to move up the ranks to Petty Officer Second Class at the collapse of the United Outer Colonies.

Masakaji met his temporary demise when he managed to hold off a platoon of unarmored NMX nekos at a choke point. Drawing them away from the last ship off the planet with his squad, he choosed to stay behind to when it became evident that one had to stay behind. No real match for them, the choke point allowed him to keep them suppressed long enough for his squad to get away. He awoke days later in his new NH-22C body with a simple note to himself. “Oh buggers…”

After the peacekeepers were formally dissolved in YE 33, Masakaji wondered around as a freelanced security officer for civilian ships due to his experience with the NMX. He intended to live the rest of his life as a freelancer as he had no intention to return to the inner territories of the Yamatai Empire. But the Lorath Matriarchy offered him an opportunity to join with a position close to what he had previously held.

After a brief period to get accustomed to the LSDF, Masakaji is awaiting his first assignment.

Masakaji 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. Masakaji is fluent in Nepleslian, Yamataian, and Lorath. He can speak and write both correctly and efficiently and can write reports, fill forms, issue orders under fire, etc.

Masakaji received hand-to-hand combat training, followed up with a rigorous training program. Masakaji then learned various other forms for Mixed Martial Arts. He prefers to use his own rendition of the Elysian form Pankration for grappling and Muay Thai for striking.

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, rifles, knives, grenades, and power armor. Masakaji is also proficient with sniper rifles. Training with the LSDF has familiarized Masakaji with grenade launchers.

Masakaji 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. Masakaji is also familar with Lorath technolgy.

Masakaji received basic mathematics training, to including up to algebra and trigonometry.

Time as a junior non-commissioned officer in the UOCPF has allowed Masakaji to build up his leadership skills. He is capable of recognizing ambush points, choke points, etc. Masakaji is also skilled in diplomacy and is capable of serving as a mediator.

Masakaji prides in keeping himself in top physical condition. He is capable of sprinting long distances, swimming, and climbing. He practices a training discipline (parkour) focused on overcoming obstacles and moving from point A to point B in the fastest and most efficient way possible.

Masakaji knows how to survive in hostile environments thanks to his experience fighting the NMX. He can build shelters, hunt and forage for food, build a fire, etc. Masakaji can camouflage himself, use stealth by using the terrain (both macro and micro), and is familiar with guerrilla warfare tactics.
