AIKAWA, TATSUMI

[attr="class","trooper_text"]

Perpetually bored and unamused, Tatsumi plays with whatever he find interesting at the given moment. He's an intelligent guy, but you wouldn't really notice it at first and the following glances. His wits are hidden behind enjoyment over the simplest things. If he's bored, he'd entertain himself with a staple or paper clip. His creativity is his greatest entertainment and his resourcefulness one of his biggest assets. His brain works in mysterious ways- eccentric, if you may- but most of his ideas work, no matter how strange they sound. [break][break]

But, really, he's not the genius people would see in their heads. Oh, Tatsumi's too far from that. He doesn't lock himself in his room to contemplate about life, in fact, he likes being outside but in places you normally wouldn't find a lot of people. Abandoned buildings, trees, rooftops, inside large concrete tubes-- they're the usual places. Aloof? Sure, he'll take it but he doesn't mind a company or two... or even one whole group. He's a pretty chill guy, again, who works with what's presented to him. [break][break]

Friendly and quite charming in his own way, but then again nobody said anything about being good. He won't hurt you, but he can and he can do so out of boredom. The thing about Tatsumi is he knows what's right and wrong, but most of the time, it just doesn't matter. Yeah, he feels bad when he loses something but he's the kind of person who doesn't get attached to quickly... or at all, and really losing an old toy gives him nothing but a fleeting slight discomfort. [break][break]

This guy is a private person and it should be kept in mind that he's too secretive to divulge anything about what he knows. He takes more than he gives, and he likes things to stay that way. Tatsumi rarely ever speaks sincerely; it's always half true, half complete or there may be a catch. His information comes with a price, and even if you play fair, chances are you're being ripped off. His secrets make him deadly, after all, people wouldn't prepare for something they don't know and this makes killing a prey a breeze for him. [break][break]

Things aren't what they seem when it comes to Tatsumi and trusting him is like walking with a blindfold. After all, people like him is the reason why we never judge a book by its cover.

All Tatsumi just wanted was to get more gold to buy a few more items in a mobile rpg, but was unable to milk money out from his parents. So, he watched videos, downloaded programs and with a few scripting here and there he had successfully hacked the system. That was the start, but definitely not the last. Tatsumi hacked more systems to his advantage and amusement as time passed; games, social media accounts, websites and computers-- what he got from them weren't the only things rewarding, but the challenge of getting in the system and thrill of running from the security programs made it all interesting. Fun. [break][break]

It would be a lie to say that he hadn't enjoyed the attention given to him, though. He left bits and pieces of information of him-- Black Sun, it was a name that most people despised because of his obnoxious pranks. A pseudonym that he'd put up whenever he's messing up systems. Something that appeared in several online articles, podcasts and vlogs. Little did Tatsumi knew that there were eyes watching him, and it wasn't that long until he was confronted- recruited. The web troopers. It wasn't love at first sight but after a few persuasion, he decided to give it a try. This was a year after he met poko, a kiimon. An egg that turned out not to be something than a mere computer virus. [break][break]

As a child, Tatsumi enjoyed solving puzzles and riddles, and hacking wasn't anywhere far from those. This love for mentally-engaging activities all stemmed from his admiration for his father, who worked as a police detective. Those tiny bits of stories from his missions and cases gave him an odd excitement, and this was what inspired a strong sense of curiosity and creativity within him. Despite having interest in less popular activities for children, his parents supported him only that nobody knew that he'd turn into a cyber criminal. After all, the boy grew up to be a fine young man-- a bit lazy and eccentric, but he was a good older brother and a good son.
