You Are Dead

@Midori @Kenny1 Not really an issue, but Japan isn't 'very Atheistic' nation, as most of them do pray to god and ancestors, or practice Shinto, though they don't identify with organized religion. Just a small inconsistency.

You Are Dead

Done, changed it in the Character section, so check it out and tell me what you think!

If you want, I could revise my app to not be a foriegner

You Are Dead

Name: Takeda Hitoshi Jr.
Alias/es: Tack,
Age: 27

Height:5’9
Weight: 175 pounds, or 79 kilos
Complexion: Standard, Asian Tan, or ‘yellow’ if you will, complexion
Eye Color:Dark brown
Hair Color: Black
Apparel: The coat and such in the above picture, but with the normal black pants and dress shoes. Off duty, he’d wear various colors of t-shirts and many kinds of shorts.

Personality: Takeda can manage to, most of the time, change his personality to suit the situation. Most of the time, Takeda will be quiet and very observative, taking mental notes of certain quirks and quips of the people and places that surround him. He can do a good job handling his temper, and not many things can solicit an emotional response from him. That’s not to say he’s some sort of emotionless robot, but in his line of work, he’s learned to focus more on what needs to be done versus what needs to be felt. Even with all his training, Takeda can sometimes still lose his composure in stressful situations, but it isn’t an extremely common happening. He doesn’t tend to let his guard down around others, and doesn’t get very attached to anyone very easily. He’d rather know people better than they know him. Takeda tries his hardest to be fair and logical most of the time, but he’s still human, even if he doesn’t allow himself to be. When dealing with criminals, on the other had, Takeda has a habit of losing his cool very quickly.

History: Takeda was born in the bustling Tokyo prefecture of Japan. Takeda was a summer baby, born on a beautiful, sunny day in June. His parents were the normal, trope-esque pair of hard working Japanese people, his father a beat cop and his mother a triage nurse. His infancy and childhood could be considered the perfect upbringing for a new, Japanese urbanite: calm and nurturing, with loving parents who wanted nothing more than for their little son to grow up and be the best that he could be.

Even with their busy and unpredictable work hours, Takeda’s parents did their best to always be there for their child, making sure he never felt alone or uncared for in the crazy world. Always full of stories to tell about wacky and scary encounters on the job, Takeda’s father was probably the biggest influence on the young boy’s ambitions, and he decided fairly early that he wanted to help the community and join law enforcement, following in the footsteps of his father.

It wasn’t until his high school years that Takeda’s quaint life received its first huge shake up. Takeda Sr. was on call to a domestic assault call, when in the process of looking for a weapon, he found a large amount of drugs in the house. When he questioned the owner of the house, it quickly got violent, with the two men engaging in a fist fight that ended in Takeda Sr. being stabbed multiple times, and the owner of the house being shot to death by the back-up officers that arrived on scene.

Takeda Jr. found out through his mother, who was the nurse on scene when Sr. made his way into the ER. The injuries were severe, but not life-threatening. Takeda Sr. would spend a few weeks in recovery, before it was found that the man that was killed was an important middle man in a large drug trade linked to cartels in Mexico and the Yakuza there in Japan.

Seeing the hero that was his father stricken so weak and injured at the hands of criminals angered Takeda greatly, and eliminated any doubts he had about joining law enforcement. He wasn’t just going to be a police officer like his father was, he was going to join the Criminal Investigation Bureau and go a step farther to eliminate the drug trade in his area, to keep anyone from facing what his family faced, or worse.

After high school, Takeda headed straight to the university to study Criminology, and as soon as he had his 4 year, Takeda applied for the CIB Academy, and went straight into training for his dream job. The months of hour upon hour of training and drilling were some of the best months in his life, meeting fellow agents that had similar experiences to his, dealing with the negative effects of crime and those who committed it.

Once he finally made it, Takeda went straight to work following leads on the drug trade in the area of his home prefecture and it’s connections to the rest of the world, especially to the United States and Mexico. As the Bureau got deeper and deeper into this dark underworld, it became more and more obvious that they had exposed a drug operation much larger than the likes they had seen in Japan ever before. This case could make history in all of Japan, and he was one of the biggest players in it, even at such an inexperienced state.

He had already made his family proud by going beyond their accomplishments and being a detective in the CIB, so that was the lest of his worries now. The only thing that mattered to him now was dismantling organized crime in Tokyo, and then in Japan. By now he's spent a few years knee deep, and he loves it.

Other: Can’ think of anything.

The Dust: Relaunch

I don't know who firecracker is.

Hello

*waves*

@bobert778

*waves back* 'Ello, Bobert. I was in the first Dust before you came in. MY character's name was Ulver, if you care to go back and look into it. I followed Aeon from a previous roleplay Dust, and Dust was where I ended up. Unfortunately, even as enthused as I was to make the character and play, my real life got in the way, and my desire to write diminished pretty quickly in. I had plans, tho...I had plansssss.

When dealing with criminals, on the other had, Takeda has a habit of losing his cool very quickly.

History: Takeda was born a proud Japanese-American, to two proud Japanese-American parents, Takeda and Rio. Takeda was a summer baby, born on a beautiful June day in sunny Sacramento. His parents were the normal, trope-esque pair of hard working Japanese-Americans, his father a beat cop and his mother a triage nurse. His infancy and childhood could be considered the perfect upbringing for a new, American suburbanite: calm and nurturing, with loving parents who wanted nothing more than for their little son to grow up and be the best that he could be.

Even with their busy and unpredictable work hours, Takeda’s parents did their best to always be there for their child, making sure he never felt alone or uncared for in the crazy world. Always full of stories to tell, Takeda’s father was probably the biggest influence on the young boy’s ambitions, and he decided fairly early that he wanted to help the community and join law enforcement, following in the footsteps of his father.

Even in the melting pot that is California, Takeda’s parents still tried their best to keep themselves and their son in touch with their traditional Japanese roots, practicing the native tongue and taking periodic trips back to visit their family still in the homeland. Takeda was just as Japanese as he was American, and proud of it.

It wasn’t until his high school years that Takeda’s quaint life received its first huge shake up. Takeda Sr. was on call to a domestic assault call, when in the process of looking for a weapon, he found a large amount of drugs in the house. When he questioned the owner of the house, it quickly got violent, with the two men engaging in a fist fight that ended in Takeda Sr. being stabbed multiple times, and the owner of the house being shot to death by the back-up officers that arrived on scene.

Seeing the hero that was his father strucken so weak and injured at the hands of criminals angered Takeda greatly, and eliminated any doubts he had about joining law enforcement. He wasn’t just going to be a police officer like his father was, he was going to join the FBI and go a step farther to eliminate the drug trade in his area, to keep anyone from facing what his family faced, or worse.

After high school, Takeda headed straight to college to study Criminology, and as soon as he had his 4 year, Takeda applied for the FBI Academy, and went straight into training for his dream job. The months of hour upon hour of training and drilling were some of the best months in his life, meeting fellow agents that had similar experiences to his, dealing with the negative effects of crime and those who committed it.

Once he finally made it, Takeda went straight to work following leads on the drug trade in the area of his hometown and it’s connections to the rest of the world, especially to the Yakuza. As the Bureau got deeper and deeper into this dark underworld, it became more and more obvious that a joint operation with the Police Agency of Japan would become beneficial, and even slightly necessary for both parties. Seeing as Takeda was the one of few officers in the Bureau that could speak Japanese, let alone fluently, he was a shoe-in to be one of the first agents over to act as FBI liaisons in Japan to help work on cracking down on the Yakuza linked drug trade in the U.S.

Takeda had big shoes to fill but cracking the case and dismantling the drug trade in Sacramento was something that put him on the fast track to a decorated life as an FBI agent. He was excited, not only to do work that he loved, but to do it in a land he loved as well.

You Are Dead

Would it be alright if I didn't mention the death in the App and just had it in the opening post?

You Are Dead

<Snipped quote by Mystic>

I remember you from somewhere on the guild, after so many years it's hard to remember everyone but Mizuho rings a bell. I'm fairly laid back when it comes to standards. I think two or three paragraphs per post is a good rule but I won't get on you about an occasional post that's smaller so long as it isn't a one-liner. It's the content that really matters in the end after all so I don't worry about it too much.

I supose I ought to get to work on the OOC then. I'll post a link when it's ready.

@Midori

Glad to hear, I could use something relaxed to help me get back into the swing of things.

You Are Dead

Interested.
