Ichiro Chichi and his wife Shin-li live, as they have their entire lives, on Planet Honshu. Over the course of some 3 decades now they have taken in and adopted or fostered some 20 children. The reason for this is that when they were young they lost a son by drowning when he was very young and they have had an empty hole in their hearts they have been trying to fill ever since.
Part of what makes their story so great is not the simple fact that they take in orphans, its the fact that though they are dedicated Kusari most of the children are not. In the Kusari system government it regards all foreigners with extreme suspicion, however the Chichi's welcome them in when there is nowhere else to go. The children they have raised come from all over the Sirius Sector, even hated Bretonia.
The Sirius Sector can be a dangerous place, and its easy enough, one way or another to be orphaned at a young age in a system that is in relatively close proximity to the border worlds. Listed below are some of the Young men and women that the Chichi's have rasied and are now grown and begiing to make their mark on the Sirius Sector.
Daidairo Chichi
Daidairo was born on a rusted out beat up frieghter somewhere between the Liberty and Bretonia systems to hippie fanatical religious zelots who were traveling the Sector to spread the word of their gospel. Born with the name "Orange Milk", because thats what hippies name their children, well that and "Moon Pie" and "Flossey Sunshine" just to name a few. He spent 12 years on and off of one junked up frieghter after another as his parents traveled with their religious sect throughtout the Sector. He never really bought into the whole thing and mostly remembers always being dirty from having to do his part keeping the various rust buckets they called home in once piece while running though space from people who called the Sect "A bunch of wack jobs".
At the age of 12 the sect landed on New Tokyo, and if you've even spent much time in Kusari you will know that it is NOT the place for religious zelots. the were quickly ordered off the planet and out of Kusari space. The Frieghter they were in did not quite have it in it to get that far. They made it to Honshu were the Sect spend everything had in aquirring a new Transport. They then decided it would be best for them, having never been fully welcomed anywhere they went, to head out into the border worlds and find a new home to settle and live peacefully in. The advance team left in the Transport while a few stayed behind, the few being mostly the children and a handful of adults to look after them. The advance teama nd the transport were never heard from again, Daidairos parents were part of the advance team.
Soon he was wondering the streets without adult supevision, getting in trouble and causing problems. After an arest he ended up in the home of the Chichi's. Soon after they adopted him fully and changed his name to a proper Kusari name. He grew up mostly working with mostly in H-Fuel production, his mechanic skills being of great help. Memories of his parents and their dissapearence still haunt him and he soon decided that someday he had to find out what happened to them.
Currently he is employed by the GMG Security division patroling the Sigma Systems protecting the H-Fuel he grew up working with aswellas protecting inocent transport for disapearing as his parents vessel once did. In his free time he patrols wrecks and the border worlds searching for clues.
Sudoku Chchi
Sudoku was born in Bretonia with the name "Liam Scott", his mother died when he was young. He does not recall why or how. He spent his childhood on various military installations with his father who was an officer in the Bretonia Navy. At the age of 8 The battleship his father was serving on was destroyed in Leeds by the Kusari Naval Forces and he, along with many others was captured as the Kusaris continued to press the rights in the system.
He and the other captives were taken as far from Bretonia as they could go, to Honshu. Many of the prisoners were returned to Bretonia, after payment for the return was secured. So died, some remain prisoner to this day for one reason or another. Sudoku was released after no one back in Bretonia claimed him and the Kusari Navy decided he wasn't worth the time and effort to care for. He soon found his way to the Chichi's after several run ins with the law.
As he aged and was schooled he learned the ins and outs of space navigation and hopped from ship to ship plying his trade. he served as first mate on some larger transport vessels as well as capitaining several small ones.
Currently he has just purchased a GMG Miner "The Bolshoy Chrome"and is outfiting it as a Transport and is preparing to set out on his own in his first attempt as an independant Trader Capitan with his first owner/operator ship.
