Ooh, let me in on the fun.
Toshiro Takahashi (Operator)
History:
A former security officer and native-born citizen of the Japanese empire. During his history of employment with Mitsuhama Computer Technologies, Toshiro worked hard to reinforce the safety of what he believed was his company's most valuable assets - its people. While his tour of duty within the armed forces was helpful in securing an initial foothold within MCT, Toshiro's work ethic and mannerisms allowed him to not only retain his job, but to excel and even earn a promotion.
Unfortunately, this would not last forever. Disgraced in April 2061 through the scheming of a jealous rival, Toshiro drafted a letter of resignation. He signed the document with his name in blood, using a letter opener to draw out precious red ink from his finger. Having completed his jihyo, Toshiro quickly departed his Kyoto office and sought out passage to North America through Yakuza channels. If nothing else, they were understanding of his reasons to leave.
Operator has worked in the shadows for at least a decade, scraping together what nuyen he could to make a living. While familiar with the Seattle shadow scene, he made a few enemies while learning the ropes; recent harassment from the Halloweeners prompted Operator to destroy his Wraith persona and start anew. Currently holed up in Auburn with the working stiffs of Seattle, Operator has the dubious honor of calling a sparsely decorated warehouse his home.
Physical appearance:
Operator is an individual of average human height (5'7" or 170cm). His body is wiry and resilient, reflecting his physical training, innate agility, and overall sound health. Echoes of his military background are evident in the short black hair on his head. While longer than regulation length, his hair remains to be quite short. Easier to clean that way.
His posture and alertness are hallmarks of a natural born leader, one who would lead his subordinates by example. There is a particular charm about Toshiro which makes him amicable, or at the very least deserving of respect. He projects a friendly and sociable demeanor, which helps to draw attention away from the thousand yard stare in his brown eyes.
Operator looks younger than his date of birth (2031) would suggest.
Clothing and gear:
Depending on which time period you wish to imagine, Operator will generally be dressed in whatever lets him blend in with the crowd instead of stand out. He has not yet made a name for himself.. well, not the sort you'd be proud of.
2060: Business clothing (MCT security supervisor) or tactical armored vest, fatigues, boots, and armaments (corporate SWAT team leader). His position required him to be able to equally play nice and/or naughty.
2070: Street wear consists of a lined coat or duster worn over bullet-resistant trousers and a t-shirt of some kind. Plain solid colors, floral patterns, or 20th century metal band logos are all options. If Operator has to play the role of a well dressed face, he'll break out the expensive Actioneer business clothing.
His preferred weapon is the HK MP5 SD submachine gun, but he can make use of nearly any firearm.
