Overview
Growing up by the Tacoma docks, the child of two local workers, Hikari's life was humble, but though comfortable. Her father was a clerk, her mother a technician, who helped maintain the great machinery that moved goods on and off cargo vessels. Hikari idolized her mother, following her around, helping where she could and absorbing as much knowledge as she could. She might have ended up on the docks as well, until the day her parents were both killed, bystanders in gang violence. Still just a teen, lost and grieving, her family friend, "Uncle" Takashi, took her in. In the midst of this change, very quickly, Hikari learned that parents weren't quite as 'clean' as she had thought. Both had ties to the Kenran-kai, and now, so did she.
While the secrets that had been kept from her hurt, in the Kenran-kai, she saw a way to build a new life for herself and honor her parents at the same time, and so, she dedicated herself to the organization. Things weren't the smoothest, at the start. She didn't grow up in Yak culture, and the volcanic ash fields of Puyallup were a depressing change from the vibrance of the sea. Slowly though, she found her niche, building off her technical skills, and applying them in new directions, directions the Kai could use. Automated security systems, drone warfare, and more, she studied, practiced. Eventually, this skill was rewarded with her current position, Komon, where she she focuses in maintenance and repair of technical systems, and on overseeing the deployment of these assets in the field.
Notes for GMs
- While she certainly is a fan of lots of nerdy stuff, she's also a bit insecure about that, and definitely won't open up about that, unless it's with someone she really trusts. Even then, she might try to deflect.
- She still lives in Puyallup, but she dreams of returning to the sea someday. But for now, all that remains is a dream. The Kenran-kai would need to grow in power, scope, before that could ever happen. Maybe one day she'll help make that happen.
- The cyborgs that she oversees were "acquired" from Shiawase, in cooperation with MCT allies. These cyborgs aren't high quality, not at the moment at the least, but they are a useful asset to for the clan, being deployed in security roles and external contracting.
- She doesn't treat the cyborgs as people, more as highly developed drones. While part of this is definitely her biases coming into play, another aspect is that the cyborgs are incredibly indoctrinated, and act more like robots than people. As things pass though, and the cyborgs diverge and develop more, things could get complicated.
