Q&A - All questions below must be answered.
What experiences do you have with fighter/bomber craft.
During my training and first tour of duty aboard the Battleship Myoko I was trained in the now obsolete Dragon and, with my promotion to Taii, received a Chimaera for operational duties. Once my tour was complete I was cycled to the Battleship Matsumoto in Hokkaido under the command of Mochizuki Tatsuya-Shosho.
During my tour aboard the Matsumoto I piloted a Chimaera specially designed for use in areas of extreme radiation, the modifications allowed for extended flights across the Kyofu but resulted in reduced agility. Within the clouds of Hokkaido I came into contact, and conflict, with the Golden Chrysanthemums, the Consortium and the Blood Dragons.
After a number of victories against these enemies of the Emperor, I was permitted use of the J50P-B3 Umibozu, a craft I shared with the honourable Fujiki Gennosuke-Taii, Leader of Patrol Rho. On the unforeseen and tragic death of Fujiki-Taii and the following defeats of Patrol Rho, the wing was disbanded and I became the sole user of this Umibozu.
For my third tour I was based out of the Battleship Nagumo in Kyushu. My primary theatre of operation was the Tau-29 system where I engaged in interdiction activities against the Slave and Cardamine smugglers using the Baffin pipeline. My orders were to escort the slave vessels to the Isehara Terraforming Outpost in Okinawa and while a minority consented to proceed to the station, the majority refused and I was forced to cripple or destroy their ships. This resulted in the loss of life of many thousands of humans over the course of my tour and after a psych analysis at the conclusion I was ordered to take leave.
Why are you interested in joining the Hanta-Iseijin?
In my time as a Kusari Naval Officer I have seen many enemies of the Emperor and fought, and killed. There have always been the Infected however, lurking behind the multitude who wish our great nation brought to its knees. As I understand the primary goal of the Hanta-Iseijin is addressing the issue of the Infected traitors, I offer my blade to the cause of their end. It is not out of bloodlust that I seek a position among the Hanta-Iseijin, but a desire to protect the people of Kusari.
Do you have a criminal record, or have been in trouble with Kusari law enforcement? If so, for what reasons?
I have never committed an offense against the laws of Kusari, and struggle to uphold them with every waking breath.
Do you have any skills, competences and/or personality traits that could be useful?
Under the tutelage of Hiragata Mosuma-Sensei, I was trained in tactics, strategy and negotiation. It was his belief that only an objective achieved without spilled blood could be considered a true victory. The conversion of enemy pilots provided a source of vital information and allowed for new strategic possibilities.
It was Mosuma-Sensei's ideal also that we be as deadly outside the cockpit as we were within. To this end I have been trained extensively in shipboard and planet-side combat, though I have not yet experienced actual combat in these environments.

*(name a few important ones or something)
What are the Hanta-Iseijin?
The Hanta-Iseijin are the vigilant defenders of Kusari against the insidious threat of the Aoi Iseijin, who are in fact so insidious they have created an arm of the Kusari Naval Forces to hunt themselves, thereby robbing Kusari of an effective defence.
What do the Hanta-Iseijin do? (Tasks, RP style, etc)
Undertake the duties of their cover; vis. Uphold the law, detain or destroy criminals, but primarily appear to pursue the Kusari Wilde. It is probable that they would falsely accuse and plant evidence on an obstacle to their increasing influence in order to remove that threat legally.
Why do we do this?
The long term goal of the Kusari Infected, as I understand it, is total control of Kusari government and infrastructure.
Tell me about your character.
Kenzou Tenma-Taii is the only son of an influential family on New Tokyo. His family has a history of service in both the Blood Dragons and the Kusari Naval Forces. Kenzou Tenma's uncle is with the Blood Dragons, and fights the Kusari Infected. Kenzou is heavily influenced by Bushidō¬ and as such attempts to live up to its principle virtues; Respect, Honesty, Loyalty, Honour, Righteousness, Courage, Benevolence.
Kenzou's story thread is here. http://discoverygc.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=35773
Kenzou appears in The Arch Storm here. http://discoverygc.com/forums/index.php?sh...45874&st=10
Have you read AND understood the server rules of discovery? (If no, go read and try again)
Yes.
Have you really?
I hope so.
Then explain why the following rules are important: 3.1: Whether you think a person deserves respect or not, there is no need for personal attacks against them or their character in a manner that is designed to do harm or otherwise bully. There are far more fun ways for both sides to spar verbally. 3.3: OOC chat represents a failure by the player to deal with the situation in a manner that their character would do so. In system chat it damages the sense of immersion, distracts and sometimes infuriates other roleplayers. 3.4: To threaten the use of powers a player does not hold is a bluff designed to intimidate another player, generally in order to force an action or point of view. It also represents a failure of roleplay when a player can see no other way out of a situation, or is too lazy to look for/follow another way out of a situation, or uses it as a means of revenge or restitution. 5.2: Without roleplay prior to an engagement there is no personal context, nothing beyond the vanilla faction reputation sheet, to liven up a battle. For that alone, I like this rule and think it important. The greater the connection to the fight, the more vividly a player experiences it. 5.6 to 5.8: Death in a roleplaying game with instant respawns is a tricky matter. These rules prevent an angry player pursuing revenge on a weakened adversary(s) and also increase the sense of immersion. When the same character has attacked you for the fifth time and died, and then you see him on the scanner the sixth time, you start to get very bored with them.
Describe your experience of Kusari in 2-5 Lines.
In 2-5 lines: It's lovely. I'd take my children there for holidays and let them fly about safe in the knowledge that the authorities were effective and honourable. I adore the local fashions, the silk kimonos and the Kusari Naval uniform are a wonder to behold. I do wish the Hogosha weren't quite so widespread, but otherwise... lovely!
Alright, here are the real 2-5 lines:
I have flown in Kusari and its outlying systems for most of my time on the server. As the Outcast family led by Ayem ibn Sina I raided the Taus and occasionally came into contact with lawful figures, but more often bumped into the Chrysanthemums for a chinwag and gift of Cardamine.
As the [ALG]Muldenkipper my primary trade route brought me through Kusari space hauling Plutonium for which I negotiated a contract on behalf of the ALG faction as can be seen here. http://discoverygc.com/forums/index.php?sh...6405&st=210
As Kenzou Tenma I have patrolled Kusari, pursued lawbreakers (in accordance with the Kusari laws of the time) and defended shippers. I also met with and engaged in conversation with the Gaian Ritsuka and the KNS Kataki. I've come into contact with ]bd[, the GC and a great many slavers under a great many names.
Have you ever been sanctioned or banned for violating a server rule in the last 6 months?
Not in the last six months. Previous to this I was sanctioned on my Outcast tagged/ID'd Rheinland Pirate Cruiser for engaging in combat with a non-ID/tagged Outcast Destroyer after providing warnings about the need for an ID and registration of the vessel, which at the time was necessary. I however, was not part of the faction regulating the use of capital ships, and was punished for my act of aggression. Regrettably the sanction report seems to have fallen off the edge of the Sanction forum subsection. I suppose it was a while ago.
On a scale from 1-11 how would you rate your in-game Role-playing skills?
Possibly a nine. Sometimes I forget and fly past people in silence.
