Name: (Rank) Captain (Family Name) Ishida (Given Name) Hisashi Age: 45 Photo (no anime allowed...sketches must be hyper realistic): Hisashi is not a very tall man, standing at the average height of 1.78m. As he had been practising in the traditional arts of Kenjutsu, Iajitsu and various other armed and unarmed sports, he is toned and hardy, though not to the point of excess that could only be gained through bodybuilding. He found solace in such tradition, but regarded them more as art and fitness regime than anything. His eyes are a dark shade of brown that they appear black in less than bright settings, and as such can be hard to read at times. His hair is simply black, as it would be for asians. Being a soldier, and being traditional, he doesn't dye it. However, as he is more civilian in attitude than military, he did not adopt the standard short, spiky hair, but has let it grow a little bit longer right to the edge of military requirement. He thought it would put his patients at ease.

Fieldpack contains personal field kit including another 3 sets of uniform, toiletry kit, a pair of sandals, jogging shoes, 6 packs of MCW/LRP Rations (there used to be more but he wasn't resupplied) and 3 packs of accessory rations (which contains morale boosters like biscuits and candy and coffee powder), entrenching kit, rifle cleaning kit, sewing kit. He is carrying medical supplies inside, which includes a medkit, surgical tools, drugs (anaesthetics, paralysing agent, antibiotics, painkillers, etc), medical supplies and even health supplements for relief work. Brief bio (include what they did before the outbreak, skills they have, and basic things that would make them the way they are to the other characters, but not too much detail): Hisashi was born into a traditionalist samurai family, the kind that did not acknowledge the atrocities of World War 2, the kind that spat at the circumstances leading up to the disbandment of the Samurai. As such, he is brought up this way, and has been practicing the traditional arts required of the Samurai ever since he was able to walk and speak. This traditionalist streak changed, however, when the time came for him to make his decision for further studies. In addition to being traditionalist, everything anyone had ever done in the family is done in the name of joining the military and climbing the ranks there, to fight wars, bring honour to family and country. Instead, he had an interest in medicine, through his study of herbs, and through his friends, who were hoping to get into medical school as well. So he joined them, and flew to a neighbouring province to study in a medical school. His family and clan began to suspect his intentions, but thought it fine as medics are soldiers too. In university, Hisashi had made alot of likeminded friends, including foreigners, and it was there that he learnt more about the atrocities of WW2. He was further encouraged to go down a more pacifistic path, much to the chagrin of his kin. Upon graduation when he was 22, he defied clan orders to join the military, and instead worked in a hospital as a surgeon. After numerous high profile surgeries and 6 years later, he decided to kick back and relax, and promptly became a general practitioner with his own clinic and staff. He got married, and had children five years later. He found out after that that he could relate well to children and their innocence - many of his best patients were children, and so he began specialising as a pediatrician, seeing that they were some of those in most need of medical care. Paradise did not last. It was only a few years later when he was 36 when he clan began to act against his wishes, out of frustration and shame. The ultimatum: join the military or be disowned and abandoned. He gave in, and reluctantly joined the military as an officer. Due to his education, he was offered the position of medical officer, which he took immediately, finding it to be the only escape he has from his circumstances. But he was a reluctant soldier; he was never serious in his exercises and training, and could barely pass his fitness tests and marksmanship package. When the dead started rising and attacking people, Japan was similarly under threat from the strange phenomenon. However, its government did not outright fall immediately due to the people putting cooperation and duty first before self-interest. When the police and military began having difficulty in containing the threat, new units were created to specifically deal with such a special threat. 3 'Kyonshikirapeitai' divisions were raised, and they were hurriedly outfitted with both old and new tactics and equipment to fight the Kyonshi (stiff corpses, as the Japanese calls them). Hisashi was part of this. And when contact with the United States was lost, Japan decided to send a force over to the US to reestablish communications under the banner of the failing UN. Hisashi was also part of this, travelling with his unit, the 3rd Kyonshikirapeitai Division, 2nd Company. Upon landing on the continent however, it became a quagmire. The US Military were executing the citizens they were supposed to protect, and the government was in chaos. The UN Peacekeepers decided to push deeper into the country, set up refugee camps, and search for any representation of the centralised federal government. They were forced to protect the locals from their own soldiers, and fight against said soldiers. Hisashi, however, was comparatively sheltered from all this, as he was usually either tending to the wounded or doing research at a refugee centre field hospital or at most going on simple missions to rescue some locals or give medical help. His shelter, however, would not last. Most recently, he was embroiled in an extended firefight against US Soldiers massacring more locals, which lead to heavy casualties on both sides. His company was decimated but victorious, and he was left as the acting commander of his unit with only a few soldiers in it still alive, who in turn had to keep a POW they captured and a few civilians alive. What he had seen in the mess that followed the rising of the dead had damaged his confidence and hope for the future, his optimism, but he held on. He held on, just as he did when he was forced to become a soldier, and so he will do so again, and again. Personality Strengths: Hisashi can be said to be idealistic to the core - pacifistic, kind-hearted, gentle, forgiving and through his medical career is approachable to children, whom he genuinely wants to help and protect the most. He would not compromise on his idealism no matter the circumstances. Despite what he had seen, he remained hopeful and confident that the future can't and won't be so bad. As a result of his work, he tends to be organised. Personality Weaknesses: His greatest strengths could become his greatest weaknesses. If he was ever forced to compromise, the ordeal would really mess him up. Some would call him stubborn and rigid. Those who came into conflict with his values would probably suffer under him (don't go around killing children, for example). Custom Fields Combat Strengths: Soldiers of the Kyonshikirapeitai are exceptional at melee, drawing from age old traditions of swordsmanship. They specialise at killing Kyonshi (Walkers). Hisashi is well practiced in the ancient arts and has experience back home in Japan, which was why he was chosen for the unit in the first place. Combat Weaknesses: However, they are disadvantaged against enemies with guns as they will be slowed down by their bulky equipment, meant to protect against stabs, blunt force and walker scratches and bites. Predictably, swords are useless at range. Hisashi has little inclination towards soldiering, and so he's barely able to pass his marksmanship, fitness and field ops.

After visiting the bar, Captain Ishida Hisashi needed something lighter to do, something less tense. So he decided to pay Tanya and her sister a visit. The sight of the young was something he savoured; it gave him hope and motivation. Everything could go wrong, and normally they do, but for him, as long as the children were safe, it would be fine for him. The visit itself would just be a random visit. The only real practical purpose being to remind the dwindled family that they had missed their medical checkup. It was a monthly thing, something that he had made compulsory ever since his arrival. Immediately upon checking everyone's health, he found out that it was severely needed. With survival being jeopardised, no one had paid attention to such things as nutrition, hygiene and proper medical procedures. As a result, half the camp was lacking in one nutrient or another. Lice was common, and so were festering wounds. The American soldiers were far too busy with fighting the Kyonshi that they couldn't do much to attend to this problem; not that they had much in the way of medical expertise to begin with. All they had was a few medics and some common sense. After dismissing his fellow Kyonshikirapeitai, he made his way to the RV in question. After living for two months in camp, he was starting to get a hang of who lives where, which would be important in emergencies. Walking up to the door, he knocked on it a few times. "Hello? I am Captain Ishida Hisashi of the UN Peacekeepers." His left hand was resting on the hilt of his katana. It was a common habit within his unit, but out here in the warzone, it was a useful habit to have. With just his left hand resting on the handle of his katana alone, several moves with his sword would be possible.
