Personality

Takagawa Hitomi PortraitAs a Star Army of Yamatai officer, a law enforcement officer, and a teacher, Hitomi is used to being the authority. She is disciplined and stern, but fair and forthright. She is highly educated, articulate, and very assertive, having the kind of easy charisma that served her well in her brief period in SAINT and later as an investigator. Hitomi isn't cold, or unfeeling, and was among her students' favorites despite her strict standards, retaining the deep kindness and genuine desire to help from her days as a Medic despite the jaded cynicism her experiences engendered, as well as a sharp sense of humor. She's authoritative, rather than authoritarian, believing in order, rather than dominance. Hitomi is practically an encyclopedia of regulations of all kinds, and proud of knowing the minutiae of them all.

All of this changes the moment she relaxes even the slightest, typically when she gets even a little bit of drink in her. The top buttons come unbuttoned, the bun is let down, the shoes come off, and she can be every bit as lewd and crude as she was in her Star Army of Yamatai days as a junior officer, standing on the table during karaoke. It's because her strict, disciplined façade has everything bound very tightly, and the least bit of release brings everything bottled up out to the surface with the violence of a geyser. The acerbic, sarcastic, witty humor turns bawdy and raucous. Borderline alcoholism is her secret shame.

History

As old as the Yamatai Star Empire itself, Hitomi was born in YE 01 as a Geshrin in Geshrinopolis, Yamatai (Planet). In YE 21, as soon as she was old enough, Hitomi enlisted in the newly-formed Grand Star Army as Star Army Medical Officer. Hitomi fought in the Fourth Elysian War, receiving medals for valor, heroism, and sacrifice. After a few tours, including aboard a Yui-class Scout, she attended Kyoto War College. Afterwards, and on her graduation-with-honors, she was invited to join Star Army Intelligence as an Star Army Intelligence Operative.

The bulk of her time in SAINT was spent around monitoring and observing the nascent United Outer Colonies, during which time she transitioned to being an Star Army Intelligence Analyst. Intelligence work was not for Hitomi, however, as disillusionment in the aftermath of UOC secession and its subsequent place as the front lines of the Second Mishhuvurthyar War made it difficult for her to remain, as did relegation to shipboard duty. So, in YE 31, when the Star Army Military Police began training investigators, Hitomi was one of the original intelligence operatives that joined them.

She began taking correspondence courses through the Scientific Studies Service (SSS) - Gakuin (Academy) in Anthropology, Psychology, and Sociology, eventually retiring from the Star Army to finish her education full time, earning degrees in all three. After this, she served in the Scientific Studies Service (SSS) - Tanken (Tansaku) Scientific Studies Service - Security, then left for the Yamatai National Police to become a detective before being picked up by the Yamatai Security Agency. When the Star Army Military Police introduced the Close Protection Specialist branch in YE 39, Hitomi reapplied for her commission, opting to volunteer for Giretsu training at the Star Army School of Advanced Infantry Combat to reconnect with her Star Army of Yamatai roots and strengthen her military skills, gaining her a promotion to Shosa along the way before training for CPS.

She was sent to War College for her Masters' degree, and was promoted to Chusa and made an Overseer, but just as Star Army Intelligence Analyst didn't suit Hitomi, neither did supervising. Moving on to Taisa required entering the Command track and effectively removing herself from doing her job in favor of full-time management. After a year in the position of Overseer, Hitomi chose instead to retire from the Star Army of Yamatai for a second and final time, opting for a teaching position at Tsubomi in YE 41. Hitomi taught as a graduate assistant at the War College and at Star Army Academy while completing her master's degree, and later as an adjunct professor while teaching at Tsubomi. In her second year of teaching, in YE 42, she received a communiqué from her former commander, Ketsurui-Motoyoshi Katsuko, about a special assignment.

After a year spent on the ISS Shiori serving as a teacher to Motoyoshi Eidan, Hitomi retired to a cottage provided by the Motoyoshi Clan at Ainu Orchards as a thank-you for her service to the clan and her protection of Eidan through the difficult year. However, she hardly got to live there, as shortly after the beginning of YE 43 she moved to Paradise City, on Koukotsu II, in order to become the system's Senator1).

Politics

Hitomi became increasingly restless with retirement, but didn't want to go back to the Star Army of Yamatai or law enforcement, but needed something more than teaching, even if she loved it. Expressing her feelings to her friend Ketsurui-Motoyoshi Katsuko, the latter convinced Hitomi to make a run for the Senate of Yamatai. Leveraging her connections with the Motoyoshi Clan (begrudgingly), and her career in the Star Army of Yamatai to boost her popularity, Hitomi became Senator for the Koukotsu System in YE 43. She resigned from the Senate of Yamatai after serving less than two years in late YE 44 after receiving an offer to once again be the teacher for the ISS Shiori for her now-older former students.

Return to the Shiori

In late YE 44, Hitomi once again became the teacher, mentor, and guardian for the group of prodigies aboard the ISS Shiori. Leaving for the Kosuke Sector ahead of the Departure Of The Combined Colony Fleet, Hitomi and the crew explored Becurn III, arriving in the middle of a planetwide nuclear war2).

Merchant Spacy

In late YE 45, after leaving the war-torn Becurn System, Hitomi and the rest of the Shiori crew were assigned to the ISS Evenstar (Yoi-no-Myōjō) as part of the newly-constituted Yugumo Merchant Spacy3).

Skills Learned

Hitomi is trained in all Star Army Common Skills, Scientific Studies Service (SSS) - Tanken Standard skills, and Giretsu Skills. She is trained in occupational skills for Star Army Medical, Star Army Intelligence, and Star Army Military Police, as well as those for Star Army officers.

She has bachelor's and master's degrees in Military Science from Kyoto War College and degrees in Anthropology, Psychology, and Sociology from Scientific Studies Service (SSS) - Gakuin (Academy). Additionally, she has a teacher's certificate.

Additional Skills

Fighting

As a former police officer, Hitomi is trained at making arrests against resisting suspects with as little effort and risk to herself and the arrested individual as possible. Besides Star Army Close Quarters Combat and what is taught at the SAIC she has been trained in CRIED and Sesshoku Sentō Ichi-Kai while with Star Army Intelligence. She practices Yamataian Jujutsu4), and coached it during her tenure at Tsubomi.

Domestic

Hitomi is, to say the least, a neat freak. She can whip up some pretty darned good hangover cure comfort food as well, when pressed.

Entertainment

With her background in anthropology and sociology, Hitomi is very knowledgable about the various cultures found in the Kikyo Sector, with great breadth and depth both, and is comfortable with etiquette and protocol in many of them. She knows how to use a sword for ceremonial purposes, and how to behave in high society.

Knowledge

Hitomi is an enyclopedia of Star Army of Yamatai regulations. She is very knowledgable in both military and civilian law, being a retired officer and having training as both a military and civilian law enforcement officer.

Rogue

With a background as a clandestine intelligence agent and undercover detective, Hitomi is exceptionally streetwise, and is adept at fitting in with the underworld and feeling out its power structures. She is additionally trained in covert entry tactics such as lockpicking and security circumvention, as well as concealing items on her person or in vehicles or structures. With her acting skills, she can easily con, fast-talk, haggle, and seduce her way through most any situation.
