Fuji, or Sensei now, has always looked rather effeminate as Japanese males can. He has paler skin and an almost girlish bone structure of the face with slightly smaller facial features to pair, though there is enough rounding in his cheeks to prove he isn’t female. However, if his hair were to grow long enough, it would be fairly easy to mistake him for a girl. Whatever individual who does mistake him, though, will be in big trouble. His frame is smaller for a man’s but, though light, is lined with muscle from all of his training in the martial arts. So even if he looks like a small guy, he could easily beat you down.

Clothes-wise, Sensei normally dresses in jeans, t-shirts and his trademark leather jacket. He tries to make sure all of his clothes are comfortable to move in. Why? Just in case he needs to make a getaway or feels the urge to practice martial arts.

He has a tattoo of a dragon coiled around his upper right arm

Openly bisexual

Single

Best friend:
Himself and his sister Noriko

Personality:
Sensei can be best described as a mischievous trouble maker. It’s the most notable trait about him and it definitely catches your attention upon first impression. It has been that way ever since he was a kid. There’s just that sparkle of a trickster in his eye and of course there’s also the over confident smile. With this love for making trouble, he’s also developed a bit of an ego and can easily be called cocky or overconfident in his abilities to pull something off. This pride can cause him to go in too deep and get into something way over his head. It doesn’t help that he is sometimes easily driven by fleeting impulses, but somehow he’s always managed to make a clean getaway. Not something that’s guaranteed to happen all of the time, but perhaps getting caught once or twice will be good for him. Put him in his place.

Life is almost like a constant joke to Sensei. He doesn’t hesitate to laugh at himself or other people in a funny situation. It’s a part of one of his life philosophies. ‘Might as well go through with a smile. Makes things more fun.’ Practical jokes are not beyond him either. He’s a fun-loving guy. Always has been and always will be.

But, he does have a certain maturity to him when it all comes down to it. After all, you can’t really be a leader without maturity, right? Though he likes fun, he knows when what started as fun can go too far. In a way, he becomes like his name, Sensei. He knows he has a responsibility as a leader to organize and make sure everything goes right for his tribe. He’s rather good at efficiently solving problems and making decisions when it comes down to it, though you’d never think that when you first meet him.

History:
Fuji Miyazaki’s life began in the busy metropolis city of Tokyo, Japan. His parents were one of those couples whose marriage had been arranged when they were only children. A woman and a man from two families who, even after so many years, remained deeply rooted in older Japanese traditions. Emiko and Aoi had been married at the tender ages of twenty-one and twenty-three. Their parents and relatives insisted that they would grow to love each other as any couple who married for love did. But they grew to love each other more like friends and never did consider separating. Fuji was their first child, a fine young boy who looked very much like his mother but took after his father in other ways. Aoi always hoped his son would be one of the intelligent and serious sorts who would be a natural businessman. Too bad for him that he got the son who had a great aptitude for mischief and practical jokes.

It was evident from a very early age that Fuji wasn’t a very serious child. He loved to play games with his mother and his cousins and would often get himself into things on a very consistent basis. Pranks were no stranger to the Miyazaki household. Some of his finest included rigging all of the food in the refrigerator to avalanche out when his mother was cooking a big family dinner or freezing his father’s orange juice and pouring only the slightest bit on top for him to drink. And that was only by the age of seven. His little sister, Noriko, was born three years before his joking talents reached their peak, when he was four. Unlike most children, he didn’t hate the new baby. Sure, she hogged everyone’s attention all the time, but it was fun to make her smile with funny faces and games. When they were alone and he’d play peek-a-boo with her, he always promised to be the best big brother ever. I’ll always be there for you, Noriko-chan. I promise… he’d say and his sister would beam up at him with those sparkling eyes and laugh.

But being a big brother didn’t stop his antics. His parents got called in for parent teacher conferences often because Fuji was always doing something. Drawing funny pictures of his teacher or constantly tugging on the hair of the girls he liked. Emiko and Aoi would give him a talk, but he was always back to the same things the very next day.

It was when Fuji was eight and Noriko was four when their parents announced that the whole family was moving from Japan to America, all the way across the Pacific. To Sundance, Wyoming of all places, though apparently they had family there. One of Emiko’s sisters, Aya, whose husband had passed away. Like any young boy, Fuji did not want to leave his friends, but no amount of temper tantrums and begging stopped his parents from putting him on that plane. His job on the flight over was to serve as Noriko’s entertainment and to be her pillow when she slept.

They arrived in Sundance soon after, moving into a house not far from ‘Auntie Aya’, as his parents called her so fondly in Japanese. While Emiko stayed at home to tend to the house and the baby, Aoi got some business related job that Fuji was too young to care about. He’d started to think this move would be an adventure. But Wyoming seemed millions and millions of times more boring than Japan.

The mischievous little boy grew into a trouble making teenager. What had started as a love of fun and jokes turned into a personality trait that he just didn’t grow out of. Even when his father forced him to take up martial arts to learn some discipline. Sure, Fuji went to lessons as he was expected and he learned how to do a whole bunch of cool things, but the discipline part never stuck. He was still a trouble maker through and through. At school, he played jokes on his friends and classmates and was stuck with detention many a time. For graffiti, stink bombs, sneaking into the girls’ locker room. You name it, he probably did it at some time or another. Outside of school he hung out with that group of stereotypical ‘bad boys’ the guys who shoplifted in their spare time or went out tagging walls in town. His parents got really concerned about him, as did his sister. She looked up to her brother, though at times she wouldn’t want to admit it. To see him get into such things made her wonder about him getting in trouble. But somehow he never did. He always made his getaway without any consequences for his actions. An amazing feat to be sure.

It was when he was graduating high school that he started to listen to the rumors about the Ans virus. The Ans Pathogen. A fountain of youth as everyone called it. But apparently it had turned from its original purpose and had started to make people sick. Fuji, as he did with a lot of unpleasant things, tried to ignore it with keeping on with his fun and games. It had to be one of those things that just couldn’t happen to him or any of the people around him. Little did he know it could. And when that virus epidemic hit Sundance, there was no way he could just shrug it off and pretend it wasn’t happening.

People in town started to get sick one by one. And it was only the people over the age of twenty-five being struck ill. Emiko and Aoi assured their children that they wouldn’t get sick and that they would always be there. Noriko, scared as anything, believed that promise. But somehow, Fuji just couldn’t. How could they promise that they would not catch this virus? It seemed like everyone was. And, according to his doubts of their promise, his parents got sick too and were put in the hospital with all of the other people of Sundance who’d gotten the virus.

His parents’ conditions got worse faster than most and they were soon placed under quarantine. Though they weren’t allowed to go in to see their mother and father, Fuji and Noriko stayed in the hospital. They had nowhere else to go as their only other relative in the city, their Aunt Aya, was already dead. It was like a nightmare. People were dying almost by the hour. Relatives, parents and eventually the hospital personnel. Soon it was only all of the orphaned children of varying ages and the younger employees of the hospital that were left alive. Everyone was scared. Some were crying and holding each other while others just sat there expressionless. Noriko clung to her brother, tears streaming from her eyes. Now, the trouble making big brother had to step up and be strong, if at least for her.

That’s where he got the bold idea a few days later to speak to all of the people remaining in the hospital. Talking to them all, he said that in times like this, people had to stick together. They all had something in common. They’d lost parents and relatives, so why not use that and other similarities to bring them together. He boldly said that anyone who wanted to could come with him. They couldn’t hide out in the hospital forever. Scavengers and looters would come to steal things. Some people had become terrible after the epidemic. They had to band together. Some chose to walk out, but a good amount stayed with Fuji and Noriko. They encouraged each other and built up the courage to make their own tribe. When looters came, they didn’t come in large numbers and Fuji’s tribe was able to fight them off.

Of course, they couldn’t stay in the hospital forever. Eventually, they left. Fuji took to calling himself Sensei, a fitting name for a leader he thought. Noriko became his second in command. He found that a lot of his tribe members were just like him. Mischief makers. They took to scavenging and looting for themselves, kind of like the Lost Boys from Peter Pan. They mostly stuck to the south side of the city because of pressure from the Mountain Lions and tried their best to keep to themselves. All of the other tribes knew virtually nothing about them. People called them Shamblers, and also the Carrion because of their scavenging. But, for the most part, they tried to never get caught should they have to steal instead of scavenge. Their tribe was shrouded in mystery, and to Fuji, now Sensei, it was best to keep it that way.

With the south side of the city came access to the sewers. Sure, it was dirty, but it gave them a way to get into the places with sewer access, the most notable being the hospital. Sensei took his followers there, where they cleared the place out and used it as a place to live.

Every type of troublemaker under the sun was within his ranks. People who picked locks, pickpockets, pranksters and scavengers. They used all of these things to their advantage, but did so while being undetected. And if Sensei has anything to say about it, it’ll stay that way. He’s a risk taker, but his tribe looks up to him and trusts him. He still keeps that fun-loving nature but shows that he’s capable of leading as well.
