-Character Description-
Name: Kensei
Age: 24
Programmer Rank: Script Kiddie
Faction: Neutral
Place of Birth: Bydan
General Personality:
Kensei's the one who takes just about everything seriously. Its expected, seeing he was once the leader of the special ops squad in the Ivona military - after all, you can't mess around when so much responsibility is placed upon your shoulders. While he's much more mellowed as compared to when he was still active in the military, Kensei's still a much more serious character when compared to the others.
That is not to say however, that Kensei is all work and no play; he simply knows where and when to relax and when to get on with business, though his serious attitude usually prevents him from totally relaxing. In the life he has to live now, its game over the moment you fully drop your guard. Due to this, he's also quite easily irritated, especially when things suddenly take an unexpected turn, or when people pester him constantly without rhyme or reason.
While he has been an accomplished leader, Kensei has no problem taking reliable orders. Kensei has a huge problem trusting and believing people, especially after having his trust broken twice (once over the conflict in Bydan, and another when he was in the military). He gets suspicious over people and their intentions, never taking anything at face value even though they have nothing but the best of intentions. To this end, he's developed a sense of paranoia that renders him unable to really fully believe anyone. The only exception are those in the same predicaments as he is in.
His rashness and hotheadedness also usually cause him to disregard orders that he's supposed to follow, instead doing things his own way and what he believes is the best way. His stubbornness can get the better of him from time to time, but he trys to keep his cool and not let his emotions get the best of him. He's also too prideful for his own good - even when hard pressed, Kensei tends to take all his problems and responsibilities onto his own shoulders, and never asks help from others. This in turn usually makes him a lot more unsociable as well.

Looks/Description:
Kensei is a tall, muscular man with sharp features. He has short, spikey light-gray/silver hair and golden eyes. He has a 69 tattoo on his chest (the "6" for his last name, "Muguruma", which uses the kanji for "6" in it; the "9" for 9th Platoon, the platton he orginally was put into during enlistment). He wears a blue and white trimmed A-shirt with green cargo pants as well as black combat boots and orange fingerless gloves. He has also acquired a series of golden piercings in his time as a civilian, one in his eyebrow and three on his left ear.
History:
Life had never been kind or easy for Kensei. A native of the logging town Bydan, from young Kensei already had to chop wood, through the days, to help his parents, in earning their daily bread. Like his parents, Kensei also possessed a great prowess in working technology. Alongside their daily logging business. they also offered services in creating holo-comps and related stuff. It wasn't the most glamorous of jobs, but at least the Muguruma family managed, somehow - they weren't the most popular family name or anything; just enough to earn that extra bit of cash for a decent treat every now and again.
Life was far from easy for him, but it was a life that he had enjoyed, at the very least; living alongside his parents, working through thick and thin with them... for him, Kensei could think of no better life to be in. It may be harsh at times, but at least he was together with his parents.
This simple idyllic life of his, however, ended when his family got caught up in the conflict over logging activities in the villages near Bydan. To this day, Kensei still really didn't know all the exact details but what he could remember clearly however was the fact that in the chaos and fires of that conflict, his parents had been taken away from him. Now alone, and filled with resentment over the people in Bydan over this whole conflict, Kensei left Bydan, and hid himself in the first ship he could find and crossed the border to the neighboring city, Parris Island, where he found himself stuck on the backwater streets of Solare.
Living in Solare was just the same as living in Bydan, at least for Kensei. Upon those unforgiving streets, Kensei was forced to fight and steal in order to earn his daily bread. It was this rather unfortunate lifestyle that finally one day when some officials from the capital of Parris Island (finally bothered) to come over to look around the city, Kensei was caught while trying to mug them. Far from punishing him for this crime however, the official he tried to mug from was impressed by his capabilities and offered him a ticket out of this place - and to a much better life in Parris Island as part of the Marines. Under that man's sponsorship, Kensei was enrolled into the esteemed USMC Academy at the age of sixteen to undergo study to be an officier.
Not wanting to let down his sponsor, Kensei pushed himself to excel in his studies and while he wasn't the best, he was at least in the top percentile of his year. Upon graduation, he was enlisted in the Marines and due to a couple of strings pulled on his sponsor's part, was promoted to a captain of a brigade of the Marine's special ops division. After so long, it finally seemed that life was finally giving him the goodness that he deserved, after many years and having so much sacrifices on his part. It seemed that finally, things were turning for the better.
However, that hope was destroyed as quickly as it had appeared.
After being a captain for a mere two years, Kensei was soon caught up in a wave of secret, underground experimentation (which he joined after some edging on his sponsor's part) that only resulted in him almost losing his life and acquiring his own holo-comp. He gave his Commanding Officers all the information and got all the secret experiment's conductors arrested. Soon after that, he was exiled from the military (and much to his shock, his sponsor was one of those who wanted him gone) along with several others who were caught up in the same experiments as him. Kensei calmly discharged and left the military.
There have been reports that he retired and decided to start battling with Holo-Comps in Tokyo.
