Name: Tetsuo Kazuki Nakamura
Alias(es): T.K., Harlock
Gender: Male
Age: 21
Status: Outcast/Pirate
Rank: Ship's Engineer.
Type: Psychic
Ethnicity: Japanese-American
Height: 5' - 6"
Weight: 170 lbs
Hair: White (Genetic quirk). Usually kept short, to keep from getting caught in the machinery.
Eyes: Another genetic quirk (Central Heterochromia), His eyes are grey, with a ring of hazel around the pupil.
Physical Description: Lightly muscled due to constant heavy lifting in the engine room.
Talents and Skills: Highly intelligent, T.K. specializes in machine repair. So far, he has yet to find a machine he can't fix.
Powers: A rather one way ability, T.K. is a Technopath, born with the ability to 'talk' with machines, and understand what is wrong with them and how to most efficiently fix them.
Character History: Born to a semi-wealthy Japanese family. His Father was a pure blooded Japanese business tycoon, and his mother was a Japanese mix-blood from the United States. Shortly before his birth, his Father died in an industrial accident, and his Mom moved back to the States to live with her family. Control of the company was turned over to his business associates, but his Mother continued to receive a monthly income.
When T.K. was born with white hair, his mother named him Tatsuya Kazuki, knowing that he would grow up as a special child. And special he was. He excelled in school, and always had top grades, and graduated Valedictorian. It was during his Senior year of High school, that he discovered his latent technopathy.
His Mother died shortly after his graduation from a rare medical complication. Devoting himself, he eventually decided to go on to college. He snagged several scholarships to the Earth Government Academy of Engineering. Due partially to his conflicted emotions over his Mother's death, and sheer boredom of the simplistic teaching system at the Academy, T.K. eventually went AWOL.
He spent the next year 'hitch hiking' through space, staying a few steps ahead of the retrieval squads. Eventually, he got it into his head, that it would be fun to become a Pirate, since he was already going to be thrown in Prison anyway. Might as well do something worth being sent there.
While waiting for a transport on Nautilus Station for a very late transport, T.K. stumbled upon Captain Hart's crew. A lucky shot from the Heart Breaker had damaged the engines. Taking advantage of the situation, T.K. managed to talk the Captain into letting him fix the engines in return to transport to anywhere of his choice.
In record time, T.K. had the engines working better than ever, and the Plunder's Heart barely left the station ahead of the arrival of both the Heart Breaker, and T.K.'s retrieval squad. On the way back to Cove, T.K. and Captain Hart eventually worked out an arrangement, and T.K. became a member of the crew.
While somewhat tempermental (He has been known to throw parts and heavy tools at people who annoy him), T.K. knows his stuff, and tries not to show off too often. No one quite knows what he does with all the extra parts he ends up with after repairs.
Equipment: A wide selection of tools he needs for his duties, usually purposely over sized, and quite heavy. Trained in Kendo as a child, T.K. usually prefers to use those tools he can use as improvised swords.
Vehicles: Plunder's Heart.
