Konnichiwa, Farmers.

I have grown and I have lived a short but tiring life. For years, I've spent my life as a fellow farmer, working to supply my family. It appears my story is common, yet the only thing we can do is unite as one.

I was born in 792 A.S, Planet Kyushu. My family has had a long history of farmers, and they all worked on the same farm, the farm we live on today.

When I was young, I didn't understand. I thought that farming was a thing of the past. Research and technology was what would move me ahead. I was ignorant, I was arrogant, but worst of all, I was blind to the beauty that I had often strived to find. The beauty that my anscestors before me had seen so well.

At 17, I began working for Samura Heavy Industries, as my brother had. I was a simple worker, mainly researching, developing and shipping Quantum Multiplexors. I lived peacefully, but I felt as if something was missing from my life.

As foreign companies continued to gather in Kusari, our profits on our farm began to drop. In the end, my grandparents were the ones who took care of everything. My parents signed up for the KNF, not expecting anything great to happen.

Then, disaster struck. My parents were forced onto the front lines, fighting Bretonia in the Leeds system. They fought honourably and died honourable, for the emperor and Kusari.

I was left with nothing. In my parents will, they left me the farm. My grandparents had passed away, and I had nothing.

Then, I saw the real beauty of farming. The sky. The grass, the crops and the fresh air... I saw what I had always desired, true beauty.

But everything is in danger now. With the war continuing to rage, foreign companies continue to drag our business down.

I have only one option left. I must fight.

As now I walk forward, seeking to advance. The Artisan Farmers Alliance offers me everything I yearn. To fight for my emperor, to save the beauty that is slowly dying.

Artisan Farmers Alliance,
You're my only hope.
