DAIGO “ASTRAPE” HIROSHIGE.
⚡ His codename derived from the Greek goddess of lightning, “Astrape” (雷) came as a sort of 'emergency measure' for a certain private military company—Maverick Security Consulting, Inc.—after their main frontline soldier appeared to have gone completely AWOL. Upon learning that he was a mere replacement, however, Daigo then learned to feel nothing but contempt and anger towards those who sought him as such, and only such. This newfound anger broiling deep inside of him served to aid him greatly in his quest for purpose, his only aid being his sword.
In his youth, he attended 'Kashima Shinden Jikishinkage-ryū' (鹿島神傳直心影流, かしましんでんじきしんかげりゅう), a Japanese martial arts school of swordsmanship, of which taught 'perfect clarity of mind' above all else.
However, the contemporary lessons he might have learned only lingered in his mind for so long, as Daigo had transferred schools a couple of times in his childhood; having attended a single school in America, two schools in Japan, and two schools in Brazil. Only having been brought into question as the U.S. tightened its immigration restrictions, leaving little to no options for Japanese expats attempting to seek asylum, despite conditions for such refuge being less than favorable at the time. Daigo, however, did not live through these conditions, as did his grandparents.
In regards to his familial history, Daigo is the descendant of famous Japanese swordsmith, Hiroshige, signature 'Bushu Shitahara Jyu Hiroshige' (武州下原住広重), and his personal blade is one of several katanas Hiroshige himself smithed in the early Edo period. He later had it upgraded to an HF blade. Hoping to seek vengeance upon those who treat both him and his ancestors like mere liabilities to be scorched from the Earth.
Daigo can speak Portuguese, Japanese, English, and Chinese. He also knows morse code.
