Name: Sanada Genichirou
Year of birth: 2481
Home planet: Sihnon

Background: career militant from a military family, commander of IAV Jianlong. Well-known within the military, hailed as a hero. Grandfather is Sanada Nobushige, a scientist. Additional data available from news archive.

It is understood that he is now engaged and will soon marry, primarily due to familial obligations. [see update notes]

Hobbies

• Reading - Greek and Eastern works from Earth-that-was, including history, historical fiction, poetry, possibly writings on strategies. Knows Sanguo Yanyi inside-out.


• Music performances - yet to establish specific genre.


• Chess - learned shougi from his grandfather. Competent player. Stronger on attack (bold, frontal) than defense.


• Calligraphy (Asian)

Enjoys

• Tea - :)


• Massage - particularly tense in right upper trapezius, leading to pain in the area and possible tension headaches (temple/behind the eye). Responds well to deep tissue therapy.


• Reading out loud and being read to.

Personality

• "Peace" and "honour" appear to be his keywords. The former was used three times in his initial application, and both words were used often during conversation. Strong believer of equality, or at least that all men have their roles.


• Strong devotion to his work. Lives for others. Very seldom indulges.


• Talks little about himself, but can be coaxed.


• Reserved. On-duty even when off-duty. Smiles little, does not laugh. Analysis points to trauma. Trauma source unknown. Recommend further observation.

Other notes

• An open book. No hidden corners, unafraid, proud, honourable, pleases with honesty and sincerity. Almost a hero walked straight out from a story.


• Not good at responding to romantic or sexual attention.


• Shows no interest in sex. Attributing to my own poor allure, but stress level and possible complete heterosexuality may have played a part. Recommend further observation. [see update notes]


• Appears to be the type who works better when there are established boundaries.

Update notes
November 2518: Period of great turmoil. He has cancelled his engagement and resigned from the military. His plans for the future are not yet clear, but it seems like he will leave Sihnon, and I guess the Core, altogether. He was so tense that he denied himself sexual release, so afraid he might hurt the partner that he could not even be seduced, but I have managed to alleviate that tension somewhat - I hope I have. He seemed confused about my role as a Companion, and his confusion confuses me.

Because of what has happened and the kind of man he is, I believe once he leaves, the chance of returning is virtually non-existant. It is the same probability for him to ask me to visit wherever he will go to. I have suggested that we keep in contact, but I do not think we will ever meet again.
