Profile
The Protagonist is a crew member of the Red Sprite, one of the Schwarzwelt Joint Project's four ships sent to investigate the Schwarzwelt, and was chosen to be part of the strike team division due to his military experience. He is a Japanese citizen with black hair and bluish eyes and is said to have some caucasian ancestry,[1] though in the North American localization of the game his nationality was changed to be American. Unlike the rest of the strike team, the patch on his uniform is white, and with his determined appearance and leadership skills, he is well-trusted by the crew members on the ship.
