Story (now even longer and more coherent, thanks to Miid Ro'ik)
Koshi was born into a small family in rural Yellow Comet. His father, a vegetable farmer, made barely enough money to meet his monthly needs; however, Koshi's mother was a high-maintence woman - she would frequently "go out with the girls" frequently, and her high-profile lifestyle was a burden on the family's already-strained income. After a long day at the farmers' market, Koshi's father came home to relax when he opened the door to his bedroom and to his shock, found Koshi's mother in bed with another man...a foreigner.
After this incident, Koshi's mother had little choice but to move with this foreigner she had met on a one-night stand. This man, however, had deep connections in his homeland of Green Earth. This man's name was Allen de Beaumont.
de Beaumont took Koshi and his mother to Orange Star first, to live in a mildly secluded city called Belsavis. It was in this place that de Beaumont hoped to rally support for his grand plan. de Beaumont had a vision for the future which would change Wars World forever once it was introduced. He had a concept of that which was a means of new communication which was faster and more reliable than the telephone. This would allow the easy transfer of documents between nations without the need of postage - the connection would be strictly confidential, which the sender's message would reach only the receiver. de Beaumont's dream would later be known as the "Internet".
Koshi, now living with his new stepfather spent most of his time around him as his mother continued her high-profile lifestyle; however, this time her second husband had enough loose money in his pocket to support this way of life, especially from the royalties he had made from the concept of the Internet. Frequently in the company of technology, Koshi began to take interest in all the doodads his stepfather owned but most of all had a strong interest in computers and what was considered the earliest form of the Internet, which his father had recieved a government grant to develop.
Koshi enrolled into school as soon as he was able to, at de Beaumont's orders. He often complained about the lack of technology in the school's infrastructure, but Koshi really had to deal with it, as it seemed no-one else cared; nobody except a kid who was ususally picked-on and backstabbed by his "friends"; a kid said to have been born at No Man's Land. The kid, called Jon, trusted very few people. Even though he had a style very different from Koshi's, the two supported each other, and got along well.
Throughout his childhood , Koshi always had a love for turn-based strategy videogames. When he first moved in with his new stepfather, the man had bought Koshi the newest console at the time: the Mycom Family Center. A slew of titles were available for it, but one game interested Koshi more than the others - Mycom Wars. Most of his younger friends weren't paitent enough to play alongside Koshi. Jon was one of the few who did. But on Jon's eleventh birthday, after the party (full of girls, music and videogames), Koshi received crushing news. de Beaumont had been called back to Green Earth to finalize a business contract, and was offered a higher status job there. In but a few days, Koshi had to leave Belsavis and Jon behind. The two promised to keep e-mailing each other using de Beaumont's Internet.
Into his adolescence, Koshi mostly went to a prestigeous High School in Green Earth and played against his father: a child at heart who had played against his son in many videogames, often beaten by his son...but it's not like he took it personally in the first place. Whenever he wasn't tinkering with computers, the Internet or videogames, Koshi traded e-mails with Jon, who had formed a band. Koshi had even been appointed as there manager, due to his expertise in technology and calculations. The two maintained a close bond still, even if it was through the Internet.
As Koshi grew older, the technology around him virtually sprung out of the ground - new gadgets and doodads here and there, and new ways of navigating the Internet had made its way into the technological fray. Wireless Fidelity had been developed allowing wireless Internet access and companies took advantage of this, including Mycom, the makers of the MFC. Their newest handheld, the gameGizmo, allowed players to play online against one another. Koshi's only reason for buying such a console that his age group was slowly growing out of was for the latest installment of Mycom Wars - now known as Commando Crisis! - and its online capabilities.
His joy in playing the game soon faded, for Koshi entered a crisis himself. One day, returning from school, Koshi received a text message in his wireless phone (one of the greatest inventions that had sprung from wireless internet). The message was from Jon, and it grimly retold the story of how a few years after Koshi moved, Belsavis had fallen under attack by Black Hole. The begged Koshi not to worry, and told him that they'd meet again. Too stunned to properly reply, Koshi only managed this anwer: ";_;".
Possibly his best friend being a prisoner of war, Koshi had little resources to console himself other than playing CC! against any willing player. Koshi seemed to have natural talent. He practiced for quite some time. Koshi had made a name for himself among his peers - despite his outward nerdy appearance, he was one of the best gamers around - with an unbeatable Commando Crisis! record. Many of his friends were not met traditionally face-to-face but rather Koshi maintained contact with friends whom he had met while playing Commando Crisis! internationally.
Upon graduating high school in Green Earth, his parents felt that their son only deserved the best so he was enrolled into one of Orange Star's most prestigious universities. Prestigious as it may be, Koshi wouldn't be holding those grades for long.
Koshi's stay at the academy was to be quite a ride. First off, the academy, contrary to what Koshi had expected, had a very limited technological infrastructure. Not only that, but Koshi's roomate during college was a spunky, typically rebellious individual by the name of Mick. Upon settling down, the two knew they were in for a real trip as their personalities clashed almost instantly - one was a computer geek, the other a boozing socialite. One was in college to get the girls and just get by in terms of the grades, the other was in college to get the grades and just get by in terms of the girls. Koshi could rarely keep a conversation without it straying off to something about gaming, whereas Mick was to the point and would frequently become angry with Koshi's poor attention span. Quite the quarreling duo, they never adjusted to working together properly. After the end of the first semester, Koshi was expelled from college due to a severe mix-up. Mick had taken a girl to the dorm, and they "had fun" all night while Koshi was sleeping like a rock. The next morning, Mick woke up early and went to the deli for supplies. Koshi woke up a bit later. In the dark room, Koshi tripped on his Gamegizmo and landed on the girl, who started screaming. The cries were heard throughout the entire campus, and the staff came right away. They saw Koshi on top of the girl, and... well you get the picture. That night, there was an awkward silence and a generally quiet atmosphere as Koshi spent his time packing his things and getting prepared to go off to Orange Star's main military academy, the only place that took him in to continue studying.
Koshi was hastefully assigned to his quarters: a small room with a single bed, a computer and bathroom. He would have no roommate, due to him joining in late, and his room was very far away from everything... except the girls' dorm. Koshi was awkward and generally avoid going there, but seldom could manage it without bumping into a stubborn woman called Carrie. She took stuff way too seriously, and severly disliked Koshi. The two developed a rivalry, of sorts. That is, of course, until he found out she was a hardcore CC! fan. The two would usually play for hours and hours, sharing jokes and stuff about themselves. Funny thing is, Carrie never found out who the person calling himself Kosheh over the Internet truly was.
The following weeks for Koshi had been rather rough, as he himself had a lot more quiet time and as he usually finished the work given to him rather quickly, had begun to become involved in Internet gambling. Over time, Koshi had become so consumed in gambling he'd start putting down big amounts in the hopes to win big; however, he wasn't as lucky as he thought he was, and eventually Koshi had worn down a fair amount of his college savings, spending it on gambling. With so little money to his name and a lack of a job as well, how in the world was he going to pay off his college tuition? Koshi had one plan, and he was sure it would work. It was so crazy and off-the-wall that it would somehow work.
After the end of the semester during winter break, just as Koshi had planned, the college had offered a "study-abroad" program to Peligro Island, a popular vacationing spot off the west coast of Jade Cosmos. Koshi applied for the trip and was accepted, and so traveled to study in Jade Cosmos during its sunniest time of the year, which, luckily, was during Orange Star's gloomiest time of year. While taking in the rays and learning about Jade Cosmos' culture, Koshi then went about the next step in his plan - to join the Jade Cosmos military. Surely the revenue service wouldn't be able to catch him here! He applied for the Jade Cosmos military, and was quickly accepted as he was keen with the development of technology, mostly with software programming and the knowledge of networking he had picked up while he was working with his father as a teenager.
It was at this time that what seemed to be a miracle happened. Koshi one day received an e-mail. But not just ANY e-mail. It was a reply from Jon. Too shocked to believe it true, Koshi trembled as he clicked on the "Open mail" tag of the computer. He couldn't believe it: Jon had actually made it out! The e-mail described all of Jon's time since he was captured, and how he had ended in Yellow Comet the military (something Koshi never thought Jon would do). Koshi's answer was obvious: a very happy emoticon spam! He also mentioned how he had managed to get into the JC military and his role there. After this, the two tried to keep in touch, but couldn't do so often due to the overload of work they both had.
While in the Jade Cosmos military, Koshi's biggest contribution was to helping to set up the communications networking within Jade Cosmos and later refining the technology to allow faster communications between officers and their squadrons during skirmishes and the like. Koshi still continued to play Commando Crisis! during his downtime, and while playing this, had realized that this was what he wanted to do - no, not play Commando Crisis! all day, but to hone his skills and become a commanding officer. Before it may have been a dream, but with the opportunities that the military had to offer, Koshi thought, "Why not?" and went for it. Through showing exemplary effort during his duties as well as consistently pushing himself to the limit, he was promoted over time through the various ranks until he was given the job of intel analyst, which required that he made sure his commanding officers would receive the correct information regarding unit placement, the status of the troop's health, and so on.
While Koshi was crawling up the ranks as best he could, he got word that Carrie had been kicked out of the OS academy. He found that the reason was hitting CIC Nell during lunch break. Kosh knew from their Internet chats that Carrie was good with technology too, and thought she could find a home here. He sent to her an e-mail, asking to meet her in a nearby town. She came to JC all right, though she wasn't particularly thrilled to discover Kosheh was Koshi all along. Even though the two were different, and Carrie would look at Koshi in rage constantly, they could work together far better than expected.
One day, Jon came out of nowhere. Yep, you read that right: Koshi's long lost friend (he hadn't seen him since they were eleven) came to JC, representing a new country called Amber Corona. Even though Jon was supposed to talk to Koshi about getting some help from Jade Cosmos for AC, the two spent far more time catching up on all they could think of, from Jon's renaming as Ozzy and Ozzy meeting Carrie, to learning Ozzy was now a full fledged CO. Time was gaining on them, however, and after deciding that JC could help AC become economically stable, Ozzy once again had to leave.
Very soon after Ozzy's visit, word of a new evil that had risen from the depths of Wars World came along. Somehow, Jade Cosmos was thrown into the fray of battle. With a sudden onslaught of Dark Axis forces gaining control of their territory, JC was deeply in need of new officers to command troops which were necessary in pushing back the enemy and this regaining their rightful land. Out of desperation, Koshi was promoted to Commanding Officer in the hopes that he would be able to serve his country and most of all, aid in the fight to one day help Jade Cosmos fully regain their territory.
