Character Intro
 
Miyuki had been only a little girl when her parents brought her with them to XCOM base when they both got hired for the project. As such she grow up looking at all the wonder of alien tech being studied and replicated by humanities best scientist and engineer. This experience shapes her fascination with all thing technological. She still remember clearly the excitement that permeate the entire base as the first Psi-lab construction is completed. She being one of the people that are detected as having high chance of being psionically active and undergoes the awakening process along with the volunteering XCOM soldier. She also remembers the dread she felt as she follows the surviving XCOM science and engineering division through the escape tunnel as the alien forces invades XCOM underground base.
 
 
Soon, she and the group of survivors established a place they called "The Forge" in one of XCOM's remote underground hangar that they managed to reclaim after the alien forces moved out after bombarding the area XCOM base located into a blasted desert. There she continue to learn and study technology while crafting and maintaining equipment for the local resistance movement that "The Forge" supplied in exchange for Alien tech that they looted. Part of the tech is disassembled and studied to improve their equipment and the rest is used to built a communication equipment to look for other XCOM survivors.
 
 
This situation continues for a while until one day they received comm contact with the reborn XCOM.

'''ORIGINS : Strange'''
 
 
 
She grew up looking at the original XCOM before the alien destroyed them. Her parents work in the original XCOM (research dept.) when it get activated. She grew up idolizing the likes of Dr Shen and Dr Vahlen, seeing the wonder they cooked up from reverse engineering alien tech (more like Dr Vahlen given her foward method in approaching tech and research?). A strange situation to grow up, looking at the rapidly developing tech. In addition, she is one of the people that are first discovered as psionically active when XCOM first Psi Lab is built.
 
 
 
 
 
- Country of Origin: '''Japan'''
 
 
 
- Affiliation : '''XCOM d6'''. phrase: 'seen the original, saw it destroyed first time'
 
 
 
- Element: '''Situation: First Psi Lab''' - the original XCOM developed its first Psi Lab, which was dependent on identifying psionic-potential XCOM operatives and subjecting them to untried and barely tested protocols. Phrase: 'psionic potential detected early'
 
 
 
- Element: '''Organization: XCOM Engineering''' - a dedicated corps of engineers and technicians who pull apart and study alien technology and then reassemble it into functional equipment for XCOM operatives. Phrase: 'wonder of alien tech'
 
 
 
 
 
'''FOCUS : Technology'''
 
 
 
Fleeing from the XCOM base, she and her parents join up with the survivor of XCOM engineering and research departement and build a place known as the forge where she learn most of her skill in research and making tech. She loved to play with her psionic ability but her passion is more on research and development of new tech.
 
 
 
 
 
- Element: '''Location: The Forge''' - Built by the surviving member of XCOM engineers and researchers. They provide the resistance with their equipment in exchange for tech from the alien that they research to improve their equipment. phrase: 'founding member... sort of'
