History:
Tetsuya Saito grew up as the son of a low-ranking government clerk on Planet New Tokyo. A quiet, observant child, he followed his father’s footsteps into the bureaucratic world. By his late twenties, Tetsuya worked for the Kusari Naval Forces logistics division, overseeing supply routes for military operations. While he was loyal to the Shogunate, he often found himself questioning the morality of the Naval Forces’ actions, especially their covert dealings with corporate giants like Samura and Kishiro.
His disillusionment reached a boiling point when he stumbled upon classified documents suggesting that certain Kusari officials were collaborating with alien entities—Nomads. Alarmed, Tetsuya took the evidence to his superiors, expecting them to act swiftly to root out the corruption. Instead, he was branded a traitor, arrested, and marked for execution under the guise of treason.
On the eve of his sentencing, Tetsuya escaped with the help of a sympathetic prison officer. Fleeing to the lawless edges of Kusari space in a stolen Nodachi bomber, he became a fugitive, hunted by both the Naval Forces and mercenary bounty hunters. With nowhere else to turn, he sought refuge with the Blood Dragons—a faction he had once viewed as little more than relics of a bygone era.
The Dragons, initially distrustful, allowed Tetsuya to join their ranks after he presented them with the stolen documents. Though he fought alongside them, he never fully embraced their ideology. Tetsuya’s war was not against the Shogunate itself but against the shadowy forces corrupting Kusari from within.
Now piloting his Nodachi-class bomber, *Amaterasu's Blade*, Tetsuya wages a one-man crusade to expose the truth, targeting government supply lines, Naval Forces installations, and Nomad-aligned operations. He remains an uneasy ally of the Blood Dragons, his loyalty tied not to their rebellion but to his personal quest for justice.
To Kusari’s rulers, Tetsuya is a dangerous renegade. To the Dragons, he is a valuable but enigmatic asset. And to himself, he is a man seeking redemption in a galaxy where honor is a fading light.
