Build and Skin Color: Kenshin is slender and has a wiry, muscular build. He has a white and formerly pale skin-tone due to living almost exclusively aboard ships and stations, but this has been somewhat remedied during his planet-side Star Army training.

Eyes and Facial Features: Kenshin's facial features, like those of most Yamataians, are of distinctly Asian genetic descent. He is fairly handsome with an apparent phenotypical age that gives him the appearance of being in his late teens to early twenties. He has typically slanted Japanese eyes, with lightly colored hazel irises.

Hair Color and Style: Kenshin's hair color is a dark violet bordering on black depending on how the light catches it. He typically wears it cut short, with a pony-tail hanging to his upper back.

Distinguishing Features: None.

Personality: Kenshin is friendly and compassionate, but can be somewhat reserved towards others until he is more familiar with them. He has spent nearly his entire life aboard starships and space installations and thus he is most comfortable in the void beyond a planets gravity-well whilst sitting at the controls of a starship. Despite this, Kenshin has also frequented numerous planets across civilized space and is quite at home within almost any starport or merchant trading post.

He has a tendency to be introspective and analytical; when Kenshin speaks he usually does so as concisely as he can get away with except when close to those he is speaking to. However, he does become rather talkative and animated when participating in discussions about piloting, fighter-craft, engineering or other starship-related topics. He has a keen interest in fighter technology and engineering in particular, but his knowledge and interest in engineering extends to almost any space-worthy vehicle.

Due in part to the wealth of his family but mainly due to his migratory lifestyle Kenshin has had few lasting relationships with those his own age. His primary relationships have been with his own immediate family, their employees or their trading associates. He is quite close to his older brother Toru, and prior to their mutual enlistment in the Star Army he was virtually inseparable from his sister Emiko. With those few he becomes close, Kenshin is very protective and shows remarkable loyalty.

Likes: Piloting any starship, fast ships, exercise, reading tech-manuals, loud music, strong drink, starship engineering and maintenance.

Dislikes: Idiots, liars, laziness, pirates, being 'grounded' on planets, Mishhuvurthyar.

Goals: Become captain of his own ship. Give the Mishhuvurthyar some lethal payback.

Clan: Murasaki

Immediate Family

• Ryosei (Father)
• Natsume (Mother)
• Sozen (Brother)
• Kimiko (Sister-In-Law)
• Toru (Brother)
• Aoi (Sister-In-Law)
• Emiko (Sister)

Kenshin was born in YE 15 as a Human aboard White Harbor station, the civilian headquarters of the Murasaki Clan and their family corporate ventures. Kenshin was the youngest of four children and was not expected to inherit the responsibility of running the families business ventures, which fell upon the shoulders of his elder brothers Sozen and Toru. Kenshin and his sister Emiko alternated living aboard White Harbor station and living aboard the freighter MKSS Ryokō with their mother Murasaki Natsume, a senior freighter captain in their families merchant fleet, Trinary Star Shipping. Whilst living at White Harbor the pair had academic studies, in which they excelled, in addition to some semblance of a normal family life. Whilst they lived aboard the Ryokō they were taught all the skills necessary for life aboard a merchant starship; from life-support maintenance, Cargo-handling and inventory up to and including piloting the ship and its support craft. The pair showed considerable affinity for starship piloting and engineering, with Kenshin most gifted in the former and Emiko in the latter. When the Yamataian body type became available, Kenshin like most of his formerly Geshrin family had his consciousness and memories transferred to a new body.

In late YE 31 the MKSS Ryokō was attacked by Mishhuvurthyar raider ships during the outbreak of the Second Mishhuvurthyar War during its normal trading operations. Kenshin and his sister were aboard the vessel when it was crippled and almost destroyed by the attacking ships. If not for the intervention of the Star Army, Kenshin, his sister Emiko and their mother Natsume along with the rest of the Ryokō's crew would no doubt have lost their lives. The renewal of war, their near deaths and the timely intervention of the Star Army prompted the pair to enlist in the military.

In YE 32 Kenshin and Emiko both started their basic training. Kenshin proved to have a preference for the operation of Aerospace craft, though he also had an interest in the operation of larger starships and in building upon his technical skills. Meanwhile, Kenshin's sister Emiko dedicated herself fully to the training for starship technicians.

YE 33

• The Interview - Kenshin is interviewed by Numa Atsui after arriving at the Libra Star Fortress, upon his assignment to the 21st "Fighting Diamonds" Squadron.
• Mission 4.0 - Breaking the Dam - The Battle of North Gate. The 21st awakens aboard the YSS Heitan to a call to stations. As the squadron is boarding their fighters, Numa Atsui is called away by an emergency leaving the squadron in the XO's (Ramirez, Ira) hands. The squadron heads towards their objective escorting four Hayai-Class gunboats, when they come under attack by a group of NMX battlepods. During the first attack a group of new craft, NMX "Immolator" strategic bombers appear and attack the team. Two of the Gunboats are destroyed. The Fighting Diamonds sister squadron – the Warrior Emeralds – is destroyed, but their Gunboats join up with the 21st. Resuming their course, the squadron's Ke-V8 "Teisatsu" Fighter detect a series of anomalous ion trails – which turns out to be Rippers and new NMX Type 33 phase mines. Eventually after further dog-fighting, the tide of battle turns in favor of the Yamatai Star Empire and the fortifications and installations of the enemy are overcome and destroyed. The squadron returns to the YSS Heitan, finding it severely damaged within a field of debris.
• Mission 4.1 - Repairs and Recreation - After the Battle of the North Gate, the YSS Heitan headed to Chiharu no Iori in the Veronica system for repairs along with a number of other warships from the 2XF. The 21st "Fighting Diamonds" Squadron – including Kenshin, all spent their time off getting some much needed R & R.
• Mission 5.0 - Special Delivery - The YSS Heitan was assigned escort duty for 30 Urufu Cruiser's manufactured in the Yamatai System by Geshrinari Shipyards and intended for delivery to the planet Daichi. Before the mission could be completed, the NMX launched an invasion into the Yamatai System which resulted in the original escort mission being scrubbed and the 21st "Fighting Diamonds" Squadron being redeployed to the new battle. The ensuing Battle of Yamatai was a major clash between the Star Army and NMX forces, and the 21st Squadron managed to destroy several enemy warships during the engagement before returning to the Heitan.

YE 34

• Mission 6.0 - Mists and Mysteries - Mission in progress…

Kenshin is an adept pilot who thanks to his training can utilize any of the smaller aerospace craft presently available for the Star Army of Yamatai. His additional experience aboard the MKSS Ryokō supplemented by Star Army training has granted Kenshin the skills needed to handle the operations of larger starship classes like freighters, Cargo vessels and potentially military capital ships as well.

Kenshin, in a manner similar to his aptitude with maintenance and repair has become quite proficient with engineering. He has thought up numerous small innovations that improved the efficiency of ship systems aboard the MKSS Ryokō, but as yet Kenshin has never tried to construct anything completely new. Kenshin has several different concepts he has bouncing around in his imagination, and possibly in the future he will put his engineering skills to use in order to breathe life into his ideas.

As part of his basic Star Army training, Kenshin has been trained in mathematics including algebra and trigonometry.

Kenshin is particularly adept at using mathematics for simple tasks such as calculating distance, travel time, available Delta-V etc when piloting various starships.

Kenshin has after the transference into a Yamataian body become adept in telepathic communication. He is now able to telesend and telereceive messages within the full 250 km range available to the Yamataian body type. He is also able to code and decode encrypted messages whilst using telepathic sending and receiving.

Kenshin speaks, reads and writes fluent Trade (English) and Yamataian (Japanese).

Kenshin has received the basic Star Army martial training.

He has undergone training to prepare himself for combat both in Yamatai comparable conditions and within zero-gravity environments, whilst either armed or unarmed. Kenshin is quite adept and well-practiced at operating in Zero-G environments due to his experience aboard the MKSS Ryokō.
