Name Ishibashi Nobusuke
Age Thirty-one
Sex Male
Occupation Captain of the Weyland-Yutani Corporation security
Appearance Nobusuke stood 6โ 2โ and weighted around one hundred fifty-five pounds which was considered to be normal for Japanese men. His dark brown eyes and dark black hair made him almost look like his father besides the height and how long his hair grew; however, he maintained that hair by shaving it once in awhile. While he had tried many styles in the past, he chose to try out the style where one side is shaved while the other is cut. Nobusuke liked the style so far unlike his other attempts at finding the perfect hairstyle for him. And he also had facial hair, which was almost maintained to look professional as possible to Weyland-Yutani.
Nobusuke often wore the standard security uniform given by Weyland-Yutani and only wore it, especially if he went outside of the lab. Unlike the other uniforms, his uniform was designed to be more fancy and not to intimidate important clients. It is basically a jacket and several other key features that made him appear more like a bodyguard than a security guard. If there was something going on, then he can quickly change into the standard uniform and get to work.
Under the uniform, he had several tattoos that he got before and during his youth. No one ever saw them before, besides his family.
Strengths Working in the science laboratory for several months proved useful because he knew all of the emergency exits, shortcuts, and the safe rooms within the lab. And being the captain of the security force got him the master key card to almost all of the rooms within the building. Also, he can override most of the decisions made by the CEO if peoples' lives were in danger.
Since he was the head of the security, he had to earn the position by proving that he was able to lead. His skill at handling weapons and his outstanding health were key. And his alertness was a requirement of becoming a security guard and Nobusuke's was great. It helped that he spent months patrolling and checking up the hallways of the laboratory. Plus, his calm temperament and communication skills allowed him to reach the rank of captain and for Weyland-Yutani Corporation to take notice.
Weaknesses Since Nobusuke had to constantly watched the laboratory, he did not have time to explore Hestia Prime and he wasn't crying about it. He preferred to talk with his security unit at work rather than getting drunk at The White Star Casino and wasting money on card games. The only thing he knew well about the colony was the route that he took to get to his apartment; however, he mostly spent his time in the lab and taking quick naps in the security room.
If a situation ever grew out of control, Nobusuke would not know what to do next especially if it's a threat that he never faced before. He would sacrifice his own men and friends to containing the threat before killing it. And his fear of failure in general (and failing Weyland-Yutani) was one of his major weaknesses that haunt him. If he was ordered to lock himself and everyone in a building with a deadly virus, then he would obey it.
Also, Nobusuke hatred when someone betrayed or used him and he will hold the grudge against that person until he got payback on them.
Personality People that knew Nobusuke often said that he cared for his friends and tried to do anything to protect them; however, he was also willing to sacrifice them to protect Weyland-Yutani assets. If someone questioned him about it, he only said that he did it because "it was a part of the job description." He hatred failing with passive because it reflected how he did his job. And if he were to fail a simple task, then it reflected poorly on him. He was willing to get himself killed if it meant preserving the asset. However, he had his limits. If they were lying or using Nobusuke and he found out, then he would do anything to achieve revenge.
He absolutely hated being betrayed, looked at it as the most disgusting act that someone could do to someone else.
Family He had a mother and sister back on Earth while his father died when Nobusuke was twenty-two. And he did not have a positive relations with his brother, who is in one of the gangs back in Tokyo. As for his mother and sister, he tried to talk to them as much as he could during his breaks, but he just didn't have enough time for a full conversation.
Backstory Life had been always hard for Ishibashi Nobusuke ever since he was a child in Tokyo. His parents were living in a rough part of Tokyo with their children. Nobusuke and his brother spent their entire childhood living within the district, while fearing for the gangs. Their parents did their best to provide education in their childrens' lives and Nobusuke (and his sister) took the opportunity. While his brother grew tired of school and dropped out to join a local gang, Nobusuke was doing alright with school.
When he finished up school, he took up a job offer for a security guard position at a major corporation in Tokyo. The paychecks were enough to move out of the district and live in an apartment while helping out his mother and sister. After years of working with the corporation, Weyland-Yutani were looking for any security guards for their headquarter located in Tokyo as well. Nobusuke took notice and applied for a position, where he was accepted by the company. At the age of twenty-one, he started going to work for Weyland-Yutani and it was normal. Then one day, the company was broken into by a couple thieves from one of the most popular gangs.
The higher-ups were so impressed with Nobusuke's actions during the robbery that they approached with an offer. Join the higher-ups and gain a life of wealth and opportunity. Or, join the Hestia Prime project as the security captain of the science lab and ensure safety of the workers. He thought hard about it, but he chose the latter and gave almost all of his fortune to his mother and sister. Then, he ended up at Hestia Prime and life went on as it always. Waiting until something happened.
