Mech Profile
Report in!: Tatsuji Kaido
Show me your face.:User Image
What would you prefer?: Tatsu
Tell me some things to look for.: Tatsu is loud and quite animated. Most would see him as a rather joking and easy going character out of battle but when he is in the heat of a conflict, he is dead serious and not one to joke with.
Your affiliation is?: Zex Federation
What's your status?: Alpha Heavy
Things you're fond of?: Allies coming home alive, civilians protected, sound of repair tools, cup ramen.
What you would like to avoid?: Death, collateral damage, wreckage, damage
You look about..: 6' 2"
Give me some background.: Tatsu was trained to be a fighter. A soldier grunt through and through. But he never enjoyed that part where he would be killing others in the process. However, war is war and Tatsu understands that he must do his part. He jumped on the chance to play a more defensive role in the fighting and practically volunteered to train as a field repair/extraction pilot. He specializes in shield matrices deployment and rapid field repair.
They keep getting younger and younger.: 29
Sex?: Male
Is that yours?: User Image
What's the model?: ZDR 911x (Zex Defense/Repair 911 experimental a.k.a. "Doc" [as in doctor])
Mech's weapon loadout?:

1. Left Shoulder: ZLLT Mk. VI - Zex Light Laser Turret Mark VI: This precision weapon utilizes a beam projection system to slice through potential targets. At close ranges, the weapon is powerful enough to cut through light-medium armor and loses power down range to a maximum of 300 yards. The beam can hold form for roughly 1.6 seconds and fire at a rate of roughly 25 rpm. This weapon doubles as a cutter tool for repairs and rescue.

2. Left Arm: ZPB Mk. III - Zex Double barreled Plasma Bolter: The "Doc's" main weapon. From a core clip that holds roughly 6000 rounds, the Plasma Bolter fires plasma-heated uranium spikes that can punch holes through heavy armor, even at distance. It also has an alternate firing mode that detonates the round inside the firing chamber to produce a "shotgun-like" effect.

3. Back: ZSMx Generator - Zex Shield Matrix experimental Generator: Tatsu's skill comes from his innate ability to utilize this unique function of his experimental "Doc" mech. This generator broadcasts an invisible shield of energy around his mech, giving it optimal protection from practically any kind of firepower (almost all standard kinds of ordinance). At its core is a kinetic energy focusing lens which, when adjusted and pointed directly at incoming enemy fire, not only protects the mech, but equally replenishes shield energy via the kinetic energy released by the enemy weapon. In a sense, it absorbs weapon energy. Tatsu is a master at quick adjusting the focusing lens to absorb and deflect enemy fire. While the matrix can be expanded to cover a downed friendly for repairs, it is much harder to defend against attack as there is more exposed shield space.

4. Right Arm: ZHR Shield - Zex Heavy Repair Shield: This mounted weapon detaches and is planted into the ground facing enemy fire as the "Doc" does repairs on a damaged friendly or covers a target. In the interior of the shield is an array of repair tools and gadgets for spot repairs and also has several transport holds for up to 20 passengers.

5. Belly: ZAPT - Zex Anti-Personnel Turret [aka "Zapper"] - This weapon fires small arms bullets in 200 round bursts at 2 per second. Add on the second barrel and it spells much death for foot soldiers down below. Tatsu rarely ever uses this.

Anything else? Tatsu is aided by 3 combat computer minds. They are organic and free-thinking and each take on a specific function on the "doc." "Blaze" handles fire control and adjusts for distance, wind, etc. when Tatsu fires rounds. "Cpu [see poo]" manages power levels and most diagnostics. "Fixer" assists in making repairs after being given orders by Tatsu. Also works the Belly gun when needed.
Hello, is anyone there?: SpcyTuna

Well Gaia ol' buddy ol' pal or girl, or just buddy, here's the nuts and bolts and maybe a few screws and nails of this tuna that is spicy's year of 2006.

Let's start with the beginning of the year (duh idiot...it's called chronology for a reason). I guess the best way to put January into perspective for me and for anyone who happens to read this summary is that the rollercoaster finally came to an end. Heh? What's that mean? Well, my relationship with a girl whom I was with for about 2 years came to an end. Yes, a close. A final curtain call. Although unlike a hollywood movie where credits begin to roll, the screen was left blank and the crowd wondered, "what the hell? Where are the credits?" No lead actors or the name of the actor who played the fourth police officer in scene 16 or anything. Just a blank screen.

Kind of like how i was at the time. Blank. Okay, maybe not totally blank, but like having the credits rolling but lots of names and stuff are missing and way out of order. Total confusion. While i think my interlude into this past year's events will focus greatly around the event of my breakup with my first girlfriend, it's only natural due to the severity of the incident. In addition to this passion i feel for writing this, i think i need to release some bottled demons (heh...sounds like i sell demons) that i've kept inside for too long. I'm sure, Gaia, that you know what that feels like.

Anywho, i meant what i meant, i could not trust her anymore. I am a man (i think i'm a man...i guess that depends on perspective) of my word and words. While it is impossible to go through life without lying, i feel that i know myself well enough to be truthful towards someone that i held dear to once in my life. To be honest, i was being honest. My trust towards the female end of the boy/girl relationship had crumbled over the course of Christmas and New Years of last year. Was it my fault? Of course. But then again, everyone is to blame in some respects, even if they don't think they should be.

When i said that i was willing to be friends after the relationship was completed, i meant it and i wanted to believe that the other half wanted to too. But alas, it did not occur. Correct me if I'm wrong Gaia, but if the "worst case scenario," which would be me and my best friend (...SHE is a girl, yes) were going out, had occured, that would go against every incestful drop of anti-societal action that could ever take place. How can i trust someone who cannot trust me? Go out with a distant distant cousin thrice removed? Through Naga and Les we are related and that is enough for me to say, "hold up. Friends forever, high five...okay a hug."

Adding fuel to the forest fire was that the person that i had ended my relationship with, immediately after our separation, went out with two of my other friends (both guys) and made them call me to ask if me and my best friend were going out. Any chance of remaining friends or anything ended at that moment. Can a human being sink so low? Having to ask my friends to do her unclean duties? While i question my friends' loyalty (which has been mostly restored by now) and gullibility, i felt devastated. Betrayed. Would i leave her to spark something with my best friend who just so happens to be a girl? The $1,000,000 answer to that multiple choiced question would be NO. No no no no no. Me, cheat? I don't think even i could bring myself to do that. Well okay, maybe i might with a video game that is irritating me or against my brother or Darren playing cards, but with someone whom i share something deeper than a friendship? Come on. N-O.

But each person has his or her own way of dealing with problems or tossing problems around. Mine was to apologize. Sorry for this. Sorry for that. Sorry for angering you. Sorry for not charging my cell phone. Sorry for being sorry. Sorry for knowing i would be sorry. Sorry for writing and saying what i really feel. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Enough? okay. Sorry. Again? Sorry. In another language? Gomennasai. Good enough? No. Well, i can only say sorry so many times before enough IS enough.

How can anybody trust someone if they can tell when that other person is going to be angry at them? No reason that should cause the anger. Well maybe a miscommunication or lack of communication or something of that nature or that i overslept or said one word that slipped in my careful choreograph of the English language when in her presence. Even when i expressed my true feelings, there was a chance i could make the other half angry. I'll confess right now, i lied sometimes when i had to figure out how to make things right again. What else could i do? I didn't want her to feel hurt, so i targeted myself. I wanted to target her, but i can't stand hurting another person or blame them, so i'll blame myself.

Yes, Gaia, you heard it right, i would blame myself. It's my fault for this and my fault for that, hell every fight we ever had (well...maybe not all...all but two) were my fault. But at least I had the decency to take the gun that she was gonna shoot me with and shot myself, rather than me shoot her back. No not a mortal wound, but one that festered and rotted. Untreatable. Incurable. And not just once, but a whole clip full of wounds, dark, puss-filled gapes in my person that eventually killed me inside. No not literally, how would i be typing this if it weren't for real.

I had reached the end of the line. I couldn't take it anymore. I couldn't keep lying to myself and to someone whom i did not wish to hurt ever ever ever again. So i broke it up. I ended it. Done. Cease. Desist. Pau. Finito. Fin. Finished. For once, i was being truthful to myself and to her. I wanted to stop the pain. It got so bad i couldn't even bowl. I could not concentrate. So i confided with my loved ones. My mother, my best friend. They supported me through this rough time and i thank them. But it took plenty of courage on my part to do what i did, tell the truth. It would be the last time i would hurt her feelings. And yet, she continued to hurt mine after all was said and done. Read some odd paragraphs above for that info. You know, me and my best friend dating, use of my other friends' loyalty, yadda yadda.

In all truth i wanted to remain friends. It would have been great to go and cheer her on as she took her Road Test for her license or visit her while she was working, or just cruise like friends do. But i cannot, Gaia. Lines that were not meant to be crossed were crossed and the events that ensued were surprises on my part.

Now that i reflect on this whole experience in my life, i wish i was brave enough to end this way sooner than it did. Like i said before, a rollercoaster. A rollercoaster. Not the kiddy kind, but the one's that loop and dive and cause you to lose your lunch. It was a ride that disoriented, compressed, and threw me into confusion. I wish i could have made the ride shorter. Seriously. It would've saved a lot of pain and suffering on both of our parts.

But i cannot forget this experience and nor can i forget her. Why should she be erased from my life? I can't erase her from my life. Life is a blank-slate upon which a life's path, in this case mine, is recorded from conception to death. It is not possible to erase the unerasable. While it is easy to forget, erasure cannot happen and will not happen. Even though the layer of dust upon the space written grows thicker and thicker, all it takes is a simple wipe to remember it all again. This said, in a way i thank her. I thank her for the experience, the life-lesson. While she may not agree with the way i may present this or even the way i think, she might even think i'm bullshitting this entire thing, i don't care. But, thank you.

Well...that was long wasn't it? heh. Didn't know if i could do it. But i did. hooray me. Moving on. (it'll be short and sweet. Promise)

I quit my job too at around the same time. Heh. Got into a fight with one of the owner's sisters. Long story. Another time maybe. Resigned the next day. The place i worked for closed down about a month later.

Well uhh...in March i turned 21 and i haven't drunk yet. Honest. well...drinking in that i actually down a whole bottle of vile liquid. I've taken sips to taste and didn't like it. Blegh.

School is good, averaging a 3.52 or something. Yay.

In July i went to florida for JOG Nationals. Did shitty.

In August i placed 12th in the Aiea Singles.

In September, our carpool to school added a new member. Woo.

In October, i didn't dress up for halloween.

In November, the MHS Bowling team took HHSAA 2nd place. Yay!

And finally as the year closes, I go to VEGAS!! WOOO!! I can gamble! Yeehaw! Oh, and bowl too.

Thanks for listening Gaia, i appreciate it.
