Hajime Okajima

Not much is known about Hajime's early life. What is known, however, is that he was given to a police officer after being with Child Protection Services in 2280, his age determined to be about 6 years. The Police Officer in question, Glen Allenby, had already adopted a girl by the name of Simone Vergara, who was only about a couple of years older than him. Hajime lived with them for quite some time until tragedy struck in 2288, when Officer Glen Allenby was gunned down during a routine patrol. After that, Hajime was raised by Simone, who would work part time to make ends meet. Hajime would also do some odd jobs to sustain himself, and after a rather grueling period, Simone was able to take admission in the Martian Officers Academy, rising on her way to become an Officer. This also inspired Hajime to sign up with the military, a prospect that Simone never approved of. After a rather nasty fight between the two, which saw both of them punching, slapping, biting and kicking each other, they parted ways, with Hajime going to College as Simone intended.

However, since he did not have the ability to pay for college, he signed up for the Student Militia Programme, which meant he would have to be called up if his services were required, and would have to show up for regular drills and training. Hajime would join in the Reserve Officer's Unit, distinguishing himself in Intelligence Collection. However, with the Shangri-La Incident starting hostilities between the Martian Liberation Front (United) and the United Martian Nations government, Hajime had no choice but to give his services as an Intelligence Officer. During his time in College, he would sometimes fight in underground HUV (Humanoid Utility Vehicle) tournaments, which gave him some much needed combat experience. Around this time, he would also get close to Rebecca Karon, a Mechanic who would be his contact in the underground leagues. Alas, as Hajime was called up to serve, Rebecca wished him good luck and left, with her fate unknown. Some reports claim that she was working with the MLF(U) and was Killed in Action during Operation Driftwood.

Hajime would be attached to the 2nd Armored Division's 56th Airborne Brigade. There, he would serve as an intelligence officer for the 6th Battalion's C Company. He would first see combat when his Reconnaissance Flight crashes, forcing him to fight for his life behind enemy lines. During this time, he would come face to face with a woman, who had a baby in her arms. Thinking that she is a militant, he would shoot her dead, only to find out that she was a civilian with a baby on her. He would rescue the baby, coming under heavy enemy fire, and made contact with another Platoon stuck behind enemy lines. Through his leadership and his ability to keep Unit Cohesion, they would survive and finally meet up with the rest of the C Company, which had taken very heavy casualties. The Commanding Officer of C Company, Captain Sofiya Gundes, would recognise the ingenuity and talent of the man, giving him command of the 3rd Platoon. While Hajime himself detested to be in command, after all he was an intelligence officer, he had to agree to orders. Over time, Sofiya and Hajime would grow close, with Sofiya even introducing Hajime to her Husband and Sister, where he would find that they were members of an Ancient Cult known as Islam. However, tragedy struck during the Battle of Ridge 359, where Sofiya would be listed as Missing in Action. It was also the first time Hajime was put into the pilot seat of an actual HFV (Humanoid Fighting Vehicle), which would end as well as anyone would expect. During the battle, his right arm was struck with a 20mm Autocannon shell, ripping it completely out of the shoulder socket. While it was a victory for Hajime, he was badly wounded and needed Cybernetic Prosthetics to continue with his job.

At the same time, his skill as a pilot would be noticed, and he was transferred to the 333rd Strike Squadron "Strigon", led by Captain Rustam Khan, where he would hone his skills as a pilot and assist in the development of new HFVs.

And at the same time, his personal life was unraveling. It was found that Sofiya's husband has committed suicide, and left her sister, Jeannette, for dead. He would get Jeannette to a hospital, and vow to take care of her for the rest of his life. Both of them would form a friendship that would last the rest of their lives.

After some time, Hajime would grow close with another man named Stephen Rousseau, with whom he would later marry and have two children with.

But, for Hajime, the entire world would change when he stumbled upon some disturbing revelations about himself. During a rather brutal and decisive battle, Hajime would stumble upon Simone, who had now joined up with the MLF(U) and worked for their Red Sky Division, the elite of the elite among them. At the same time, he would confront the leader of the Red Sky Division, Dr. Trevor Song, a geneticist who would reveal that Hajime and Simone were Class II Clones, customly designed to have certain abilities not found in normal people. However, his mental state meant that he would talk in cryptic and vague terms, and Hajime would not understand what he was talking about, and in his frustration killed him, and also got his hands on all the money and resources he would have on his hand.

After the ordeal, Hajime would claim his reward for killing Dr. Trevor Song, and used the money to buy a Farmhouse in New Virginia, where, with Stephen and his two children, he would spend the rest of his life in peace… **…Or will he?**
