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.

Aspects Description

Aspect	Description
For the Family	The Kenran-kai is a weak clan, one disrespected by many, but it's a loyal clan, one with a united ambition for greater things. Hikari lost her family once, but now, she's found a second one, and she won't lose that. Hikari will not act against the interests of her clan. If her services are used against the Kenran-kai, and she discovers it, she will burn the runner.
