Kikokuryu (Captain of the Cometship Sistraxia)

Introduction
Kikokuryu is a career soldier who, while sometimes distracted by a pretty face, is devoted to Ponyfleet. He worked hard to gain his Captain's Wings and puts his cometship and its crew first and foremost.

Skills
Kikokuryu is well-versed in the use of a phaser, and his hoof-to-hoof skills earned him awards in Ponyfleet academy. He knows his Cometship inside and out and, if push came to shove, he could probably do a quick patch-up job or two, having made it his business to get some technical know-how. He is decisive and command sits easily with him. He takes no nonsense, either from his crew or any other pony.

Background History
Kikokuryu's Mother and Father both have very successful careers as Ponyfleet officers. His Father is a Colonel and his Mother is a Brigadier General, so he has big shoes to fill. From the moment he could talk, all he talked about was Ponyfleet. Many a pony tried to discourage him from this career path, fearing with such successful parents, he would always feel inadequate.

Kikokuryu would have none of it, and applied for Ponyfleet Academy the moment he was old enough. He had no trouble getting in, passing all entrance exams and psychological assessments with flying colours. His instructor's wariness of being accused of favouritism meant that he had to work twice as hard to earn his place, but he never complained, instead doing what was necessary to get where he wanted to be.

Now the successful captain of the Cometship Sistraxia, Kikokuryu has no view towards promotion for a while, loving his current position as Captain too much to want to give it up.

In-Game History
Kikokuryu was given the detail of looking after the arrivals from the Egg during The Festival of Healing Hearts. When Lady Shah was killed, he was part of the group who investigated it and discovered what had happened to her.

When the mayday came in from those intrepid ponies who had gone on the expedition, he was quick to hop on the ship and face the alien menace. He even managed to save a pony or two.
