Being young, Caine is still a little brash and arrogant at times but that's a front for an insecure young man whose out on his own for the first time in a major way. He's not…anti-social, but he prefers smaller groups to larger ones. Caine cares deeply for his sisters and always tries to keep in contact with them and his mother while his father is out serving the empire's military, his sisters are still too young to leave on their own but his mother can handle it. Which is why Caine writes or calls home once a week or so, just so they know he's ok.

As of recently his personality has become more mature than he was before, having been faced with many obstacles and triumphs. Things have changed in this young man really considering all the things he's had to go through since joining the military have matured him. He's still a bit childish at times but has proven himself to be capable and reliable in his own elements. Normally Caine's the type to keep to himself usually, but once he warms up to people he's quite open and social. However, this all changes in the heat of battle, Caine becomes hard, brutal and almost emotionless as a way to protect himself from the horrors of war. He's absolutely unforgiving toward his enemies in serious combat, specially Mishhu ones.

Likes: Guns, his power armor, computers/computer games, reading, writing short stories. Dislikes: Large crowds, losing majorly in a game, those who gloat over their success. Goals: To serve well to bring pride to the family and return home someday.

Caine was born on Yamatai as the oldest of 4 children, his father was an officer in the military but his mother was a tree elf. The family was happy as nothing too major happened to it and saw each other regularly as his father was stationed to the defense force of Yamatai. But their oldest child wanted to see what the universe had to offer, after a heated debate with his mother Caine got her to let him go join up. He's fresh out of basic training with all the skills needed to perform any number of jobs but specializes in power armors.

Since Caine's first days in the military he's served on a number of vessels with very little alteration in his station.

• Pisces Station- Caine served as a Civilian Relations Liason, a position he wasn't prepared or capable to handle at the time and would eventually aide two 5th XF Taisa to escape the Station's lockdown.

• YSS-Asuka- After Pisces Station, and the later destruction of the YSS-Yugumo; Caine would be ST'ed back aboard the Asuka. Where he would get the position as the ship's Power Armor/ Combat Arms Leader. After a short stint on the ship and an impressive performance in the boarding and salvage of an SMX battleship to haul back to Hotaru for R&D. Shortly after that, he'd be promoted back to Chui by Katsuko and placed as the Commander of the newly re-instated 17th Kasairyuu Wing.

• YSS-Yugumo 2- Present- With the vanishing of the SMX and the secession of the UOC from Yamataian control, Caine joined the United Outer Colonies after the death of his lover at the Great Lighthouse to help see that her sacrifice was not in vain. Kiyoko would later be restored to life and inducted officially into the UOC by the Grand Peacekeeper Motoyoshi Saito. Subsequently, Caine would go with her to serve aboard the Akuro III and was very soon after given the position of XO of the vessel.

Caine is familiar with basic radio operation and procedures and can make transmissions to and receive transmissions from other characters through headsets, starships, power armor, and shuttles in both combat and non-combat conditions. He is fluent in English. He can speak and write both correctly and efficiently and can write reports, fill forms, issue orders under fire, etc.

Not the best chef in the world but Caine can cook decent dishes for a small group of people as he usually ended up doing so for his smaller siblings. He just can't cook up anything overly complex without help or something he's only heard about…learned by example mostly.

He received hand-to-hand combat training by way of loading all the necessary related knowledge into the soldier's memory, and then following up with a rigorous training program. He is skilled and experienced in combat both in Yamatai-like conditions and in zero-gravity, with and without weapons. Weapons he is trained in include energy pistols, knives, and power armor. Caine also has the a weapon proficiency with grenade and energy rifles. Caine is not only well-trained in power armor piloting (as all Star Army soldiers are), but has specialized in a particular power armor and honed his fighting skills to the best they could be.

Ionoche is capable of operating any computer system that uses the Kessaku OS, found on all Star Army starships. He is proficient in entering and/or searching for information.

Thanks to further training on Yamatai, Caine is knowledgeable about both history and law of the Yamatai Star Empire. Just dont' ask him to quote specific lines of law just yet, he hasn't commited it all to memory as of yet as there is so much to absorb.

Due to the training in the 5th XF, Caine is able to command groups of soldiers in spatial or ground combat. And can serve in noncombative positions as well. He's still new to it though and sometimes needs some help at times.

Caine received basic mathematics training, to including up to algebra and trigonometry.

Building from the foundations set by a mother and father who loved the outdoors (camping namely, hiking, etc) Caine learned nearly all that'd be necessary to survive in the wild for an indefinate amount of time though it's not something he looks forward to.

Caine is familiar with most civilian transports and shuttle piloting from his basic military training.
