Preferred Plots:

1. YSS Sakishima

• Height: 170cm (5' 6”)
• Mass: 45kg (99lbs)
• Measurements: 35C-29-36

Build and Skin Color: Tall for an NH-33, Oikawa's frame is that of a fit, and incredibly well-trained Neko soldier. In the tradition of the old Kuro specialized in intelligence and subterfuge, her skin is a jet-black color.

Eyes and Facial Features: Oikawa has a sharply featured, diamond-shaped face. Her lips are a thin and often tightly drawn dark burgundy line, while a thin and again sharply lined nose is flanked by a pair of almond-shaped orange eyes. Save for her preference in the burgundy lipstick, she rarely wears much makeup.

Ears: Her ears look just like any other feline-style ears, with her own jet-black fur.

Hair Color and Style: Her hair is such a dark black color that it seems to seamlessly blend in with her skin itself. Just long enough to pass two inches below her shoulders, it is almost always found tied away in a ponytail unless the situation demands otherwise from her.

Distinguishing Features: Both black skin and orange eyes are very uncommon among most Neko. Outside of that she doesn't have any sort of visible physical scars or tattoos and is /far/ too young for any signs of aging to be showing yet.

Personality: Most people would not expect an infiltration specialist to be a very openly friendly individual. But to be unpersonable and not liking people wouldn't be conducive to earning the trust of those she is trying to infiltrate, and she is also only a year old so she has yet to develop any sort of signifanct reasons not to trust most people she meets under more normal circumstances (such as her fellow Nekos).

When it won't get in the way of her work you can almost always find a smile on her lips, she enjoys hugging and close physical contact with even simply very close acquaintances far more than the average person, and has a habit to be a rather giggly sort of person. She is far too nice for somebody who is so academically well-versed in arts of espionage and deception.

On top of all this, she is a determined woman, to the point of almost militant dedication at times. Few things can dissuade her from attempting to reach her objective when she has set her mind to it. Very rarely does she not even consider at least trying to take on most situations and challenges presented to her without either being burned in a previous attempt or being convinced that the forces in front of her are simply too powerful to be overcome by herself. Her dedication to the Empire and it's goals has apparently garnered the notice of those in the intelligence community to see her as fit for the operations on which she is now sent.

• Likes: Her service to the Star Army, meeting new people, the occasional visit to a club or party, and spending time with friends. While reading an interesting book or listening to music, her favorite snacks are warm sake with white rice or flavored fried crickets on rice (. . . don't judge her). She also has an odd taste in the music of various Nepleslian bands.
• Dislikes: Harshly judgmental people (particularly, judging other people like her friends), slovenly drunks, “classical” music, and anything that tastes like strawberries.
• Goals: To further the goals of the Star Army and the Empire, and to prove herself as a capable operator.

Star Army of Yamatai

Sawaka Oikawa was not seconded to SAINT for the operations they send her on because she was the best shot in all of the Star Army: there were better. She wasn't picked because she was the fastest or strongest: they could have found others that were stronger or faster than her. The reason she was picked was something far simpler that SAINT told the Star Army they wanted.

In the one year that she had been alive and in service to the Empire, she had shown a seemingly undying and unfaltering dedication to both the Empire, and her own personal missions as they were given to her. Even in training she showed an aptitude and love for her training as a recon and infiltration specialist for the Star Army. While her scores did not /destroy/ any pre-existing records in training, academically she excelled at what she did, physically she was top-notch, and mentally it was noted by SAINT that one of her fellow trainees was heard to say that she had a tendency to become incredibly dedicated to doing accomplishing whatever mission might be set before her. This was combined with an intelligent mind, a courageous attitude when confronted with those challenges, resourcefulness, and high levels of physical activeness to make her a very promising candidate for her coming assignments in the near future.

It was after training was completed and she was just nearly ready to be sent to her first duty assignment when she was approached by a woman identifying herself as an agent of the government. They talked about various things, Oikawa was shown a small sample of some of the notes taken on her in her personnel jacket, and the woman began to explain certain things to her. Once the woman was fully certain that she had Oikawa enticed enough to accept whatever offer was soon to be made, she informed her of the offer that SAINT wished to give her.

It came with perks: an upgrade to an NH-33 Series body, advanced training and conditioning, exciting and challenging situations that came with the job, and the opportunity to prove herself to her superiors beyond the academic fields of training. The catch was a harsh one, however. She would not be SAINT, at least not technically. She would be a Santo Hei in the Star Army, as she was now, and “seconded” to SAINT services for the duration of her operation. However she was also told something very specific about her body upgrade, or more specifically the upgrade given to it making it an NH-33S. It was temporary, to be given to her for the duration of her services with SAINT unless decided otherwise, and that she was under express orders to keep use of it's more “exotic” abilities to an almost /nil/ minimum to avoid exposing her true nature to those she might encounter.

With that she was given her first assignment working alongside SAINT: investigating the corrupt black market workings of a Nepleslian governor. Unfortunately, while she recovered the info she was sent to find she was compromised and captured by members of a local gang.

Star Army Common Skills

As an infiltration and recon specialist in the Star Army, Oikawa has been trained in sleight-of-hand techniques for picking pockets or locks, blending in to her surroundings, evading pursuing guards, and the often very helpful act of street-smarts when the situation calls for it.

Needing to survive in situations that can put her potentially hours, days, or even weeks from support has meant that Oikawa needs to be self-reliant. She knows how to forage for food and supplies, find water, navigate by stars overhead or surrounding landmarks, make her own shelter, conceal her position, and knows many points of guerrilla warfare on par with that of many Nepleslian Marine survivalists.

While any NH-33 could be said to be physically adept and fit, Oikawa has made it an aim to improve her skills in evasive running and long-distance swimming. Moving across rooftops or obstacles one might encounter on a typical street are things that she is quite capable of handling from practice and dedicated training. She is also capable of treading water on her own for several hours on end, as well as being quite nimble, and more than capable of avoiding drowning in the open water.
