Hwangi Mukuri Saiyako

Saiya (Nickname)

30

Male

Fuso

2^nd Lieutenant

Unit Commander

Judging solely from appearances, Saiyako looks nothing like what one would expect from an officer, even by Fusan standards. His brownish-redish hair is always in varying amounts of ruffled or crumpled, dark lines hung under his dark golden eyes from his many all nighters no doubt, whatever happens during these long moons is known only by Saiyako himself. With a body type between his natural skinny frame and the body mass built up by military training, the man doesn't look like one you'd immediately expect to be a soldier but more of a bookworm who spent too much time at the gym. His resting, apathetic bitch face is only broken by the occasional cocky smile that arises when he feels the rare need to outdo someone.

In terms of outfits, Saiyako generally finds himself in any number and amount of clothing; like many Fusans he has no qualms about walking around in his underwear or nightwear and has been spot on more than one occasional strolling between the showers and his quarters nude. He also has a bad habit of tramping around in his sleeping clothes until noon when he knows he has no planned assignments or tasking for that day. Surprisingly enough however, his actual officer's dress uniform is perfectly kept in pristine condition, not a speck of dust on it, not a hole anywhere, not a button loose.

Laid back almost to the point of apathy, Saiyako is more extreme case of the famous Fusan calmness and indifference. With and almost superhuman ability of procrastinating and extending deadlines, Saiyako rarely feels urgency with things like paper work of which he sees as his greatest foe. One could say he's a fatalist, believing that his life is already set out by some greater power who isn't the Primarch or the pantheons of Terranism causing friction between him and the Inquisition who keeps tabs on all commissioned officers, his apparent lack of zeal doesn't help.

Of course, now with the arrival of the Gate, that personal philosophy has more or less gone out the window. In its place there's a new sense of excitement which Saiyako hasn't felt in a long time as before him is a beautiful world straight from a fantasy game. He works with greater speed and efficiency now although relative to others he still works dreadfully slow. Any official papers like reports while likely be handed in a week late with crumpled corners, an improvement from when papers would go missing for months in Saiyako's hands and come out like they were in their own war in the bowls of his desk. The only type of papers which he hasn't failed to submit on time are papers relating to the well being of his unit; things such as payrolls and requisition forms have rarely failed to be handed on time and are the only things which he will rarely submit early. Perhaps this is rooted from an amicable nature that's hidden under layers of apparent boredom and snark.

In battle, his apathetic nature is incredibly apparent, Saiyako appearing to give absolutely zero shits about being shot at or yells about him getting down. Of course this doesn't mean he's slow or combat stupid, his indifference to danger and gore is one of the primary reason behind his promotions. The battlefield is also the only place where his normal expression breaks and is replaced by a slightly cocky grin and an air of confidence. Its not uncommon for him to challenge someone to see how fast they can dash into cover while under fire as although he doesn't care much for the insults people call him, he does enjoy showing people up sometimes even if he doesn't always win them.

Saiyako was born to a medical researcher space elevator operator on a space station in orbit around the Fuso. His life was normal for the most part, no sudden parental deaths or secret family wealth to be inherited; Saiyako was just a normal boy who lived life between the station and planet side. While definitely not the upper crust of society, his family was more than able to pay for their lifestyle and some of the gifts the child would want; perhaps one reason why Saiyako was even more laid back than most Fusans. The biggest change in his life up to that point would be the birth of his little sister when he was six. Things changed for Saiyako when Hwangi Tantan Mutoi came into his life but not too dramatically. Like his parents, Saiyako did his best to shower Mutoi with love and affection.

Maintain respectable grades throughout his teenaged years, the turning point of his life hit both him and his family hard, quite literally. During a family trip which Saiyako had offered to drive, his father next to him and his mother in the back with his sister, a mechanical failure cause the car to veer into oncoming traffic where a cargo transport plow right into them. Despite Saiyako, his mother and his sister all recovering, his father never did for some reason. Days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months but his father wasn't recovering for some reason, doctors attributed it to some genetic issue that was preventing his body from healing as it should and instead was actually decaying.

Life suddenly went downhill as Saiyako started failing his classes and locked himself in his room for hours at a time, feeling as if he was the one who cause his father's pain, eventually refusing to go visit him out of shame and guilt. The last time Saiyako would see his father would be on his father's death bed who told him:

"Son, there is no hidden treasure of our family for which I can pass on to you. There is no secret wealth which I can let you inherit. No portal to a magical world that I have been hiding. No secret society that I've been a part of. You are completely normal, you are no fairy tale hero like the one in the shows you once watched and the books me and your mother once read you; there is nothing special about you. You are just you.

But you are unbound, free of any strings of destiny. Your fate is no one but your own. There is nothing to hold you back from your greatness..."

Of course, Saiyako didn't understand what his father meant at that point, but it broke something inside of him and turned him apathetic, not even flinching as he watched his father's coffin be lowered into the earth and buried. It was as if he stopped caring about everything and it showed; he later failed out of school before he could even get into a college and barricaded himself in his room, nothing his sister or his mother did could get him out.

Faced with a dead husband and a depressed, apathetic son, Saiyako's mother died of a heart attack little over a year later and Saiyako was again silent as his mother was buried next to her lover. Realizing that there was no way that both he and his little sister could survive on government subsidies, Saiyako got a job in the only place that would accept him: the army.

After months of training, he was deployed to various rebel stations and worlds as part of the 6^th Fusan Regiment, 21^st Assault Division nicknamed the "Golden Foxes". Through many a battles and a fair bit of luck, Saiyako had been promoted to the rank of 2^nd LT after the previous one had died in battle, his apathetic nature leading him the ability to remain remarkable nonchalant even by Fusan standards. After doing his 3^rd tour, he heard wind of a portal that had opened up on the backwater desert planet of Ennedi to what the first scouts said was a "fantasy" world. Upon hearing that, something made him smile and started up his excitement, an emotion he hadn't felt in a long time. Signing up without haste, Saiyako felt like he finally understood what his father's words from all those years ago meant; he had the chance not to fulfill his destiny, but a chance to make his own.

Donovan Valentine

”The Friendly” a sarcastic nickname if there ever was one.

25 years old

Male

High Terra

Corporal

He is considered an elite combat solider, being exceptional in what most soliders should be.

He is 6'0 in length, with a surprisingly muscular body that you wouldn't guess by looking at him. Sometimes wearing glasses, other times not. He wears his mother's clothing line, finding anything else unacceptable. He is a noble of a rather rich family, so his armored suit is literally painted in real gold for nothing more to show off.

Donovan certainly would be what you'd think of when you think of your typical, raised in incredible wealth and got almost everything he could ask for. He was spoiled rotten as a child. He lived a rather perfect life. He's only thing he suffered from is how much he wanted another sibling so he could have a friend as when he was young most people tend to avoid him, scared of his status. Often alone, learning he was his only friend.

He grew up quite bitter of most people and is incredibly arrogant and self centered or at least only cares about his own and his family's pride. He will do anything, to make a difference he feels will change his world for the better. He will defy orders, betray others. He'd kill a child if he or his family benefitted from it. Morality means next to nothing to him, he does not feel sympathy for those he is ordered to kill. But to the average stranger who somehow doesn't know who he is. He is an incredibly good solider, and a surprisingly an effective leader and support. He is very charming, and is quite a gentleman to women. His laugh is almost contagious. Being quite social. Most of it being an act, being smart enough to know you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.

Finding this fantasy world as literal gold mine, full of resources his parents could use to highly improve their companies. He doesn't see any of them as people, he sees them all as nuisances that he would be more than happy to rid their world of. Not that he'll behave that way in front of them.

His parents lived in the lap of luxury, one being a wealthy business owner, of multiple major construction, oil and diamond mining companies, while his mother had her own very popular and very expensive 'Valentine's' for men and women's clothing line. So ever since he was born, he was never told no. As he got the best food, from a professional chef, and was taught by a private tutor. He also had a professional maid to clean his room, but he often cleaned it himself. But that didn't mean he didn't spend time with his family, as his mother would often test clothing on him and often had him watch her create clothes, while the father often took him fishing every other weekend on their motorboat. The only thing he didn't have was a younger sibling, which he wanted a little brother. Mainly because he felt very alone. As his father kept him away from the poor folk and even some of the richer folk because they we're far too snobbish in his mother's words. So he didn't have many friends, and he very quickly over the year got used to being alone, with the occasional hired company. He enjoyed spending time with his parents more than anyone else. Loving and respecting them a lot, finding his mother to making the most beautiful clothes in the world and his father the most brilliant, got his desire for wine as his father would often let him have a sip every time he asked for one.

When he became old enough to be legally allowed to drive, thought that didn't stop him from doing it multiple times before then. He would often drive out and spoil women on dates. Going on a date with a new women every week at least. He made his own friends, throwing his charm and money around without hesitation. Though he never really made any real personal connections and it only made him dislike people in general. He would often have sex, even a few times of the same sex just because he could. Because it provided him with some company, and some shallow pleasure. But nothing he did really made him happy, he felt as if he had no true calling in life.

Until that day, When he learned of the GATE incident, he was instantly drawn to the news, being quite curious. As was both of his parents as they wondered. What kind of materials, and what kind of resources do they have in another world? Just imagine what we could do with them! They asked their son, to become a solider and to go to the new world and make them proud. They had connections with someone in the military that could make him shoot up in ranks quite easily and they'd make sure he had the best equipment. With that offer in his head, at a chance to do something unique and something to make his parents proud of him. He immediately agreed and became a solider. Which after a few tests they learned he was already great at it, excelling at basic and more advanced training. Completing it in half the time most did.

It didn't take him long to raise in the ranks. Becoming known for his skill and also more infamous for his personality. As they called him, Donovan "The Friendly" for his very false happy social personality. As it didn't take long for him to make enemies, but they weren't stupid enough to outright suggest anything of the sort. His superior's in the army were highly considering a leader position for him only holding back due to their uncertainly of how loyal he actually is...
