BIOGRAPHY Born during the height of Daitō's economic boom then forced to watch it stumble, Suketoshi Heishi, son of Sachio Heishi,
has seen his nation both at its highest and lowest points. He remembers when the DFD made its pledge for democratization,
when the first Diet in nearly sixty years was elected free of influence by the ruling party. But he has also seen the corruption
that this process spawned. Nearly repeating word-for-word the 1930s, he felt as though something had to change, and soon.
Falling back on the writings of his great great-grandfather, he found himself believing more and more in the cause that the
Daitō fukkatsu dōmei had advocated in its early years, viewing the Kunan Restoration as incomplete and flawed.
At the age of eighteen, he enrolled in the Imperial Military Academy in Shinkyō, where he would study Political Science along
his road towards earning his commission. It would be in 2007, at the age of twenty-two, that he graduated, with a
Bachelor's of Science in Political Science and be commissioned as a Jun-i, a warrant officer, and would be assigned to the
1st Infantry Regiment, 4th Awara Division, based out of Fort Asuka.
In 2010, with war on the Horizon in Volhynia, Suketoshi was deployed to the small Aranyean country. He would serve his nation
with distinction during the first three years of the war until one fateful evening in early 2013. As he and his squad were on patrol,
they came under an ambush by Halychian forces belonging to the 18th Army Aviation Regiment and the 45th Artillery Brigade.
Though he and his men were forced to retreat, he knew that some of them had been wounded and would soon be overtaken by
the foe. As such, as they waited for evac, he would make a number of efforts to recover his fallen comrades, enduring heavy fire
and extensive injuries in doing so. For his extraordinary valour and dutiful service, he was awarded the Grand Cordon of the Order
of the Golden Kite, although at the cost of his left arm, two toes, and his right eye.
Sent first to a field hospital then back home following his injuries, Suketoshi found himself almost aimless. He knew his military
career, at least in active service, was all but over, there was no way he would be cleared for it. Instead, he was left with one of
two options, either he passed the Discharge Review Board's examination or he was Medically Discharged. For his part, it really
wasn't up to him. Admittedly, part of him hoped he would receive his discharge papers, but fate, it seemed, had different plans.
Suketoshi would remain in the Armed Services, although as a reservist, with the understanding that while he may not see combat
again, he could be called up to serve in an administrative role instead. And so, Suketoshi Heishi, now of the rank of
Rikugun-Tai-i (Captain) and holder of the highest Military Honour in the Empire, found himself without a job.
His brother, Jin, had until 2014 served as a city councilor for their hometown of Awara. With his recommendation and endorsement,
Suketoshi would join the Daitō fukkatsu dōmei and run for the office, which he would hold from 2014 until 2016, when he was called
up to serve once more, though this time it was a bit different. He would serve as aide-de-camp to the Emperor himself.
The new job was far different than his time in the military and as a city councilor, suffice to say. While he didn't have to worry about
popularity or the enemy bullet, he had to be acutely aware of his position within the Imperial Heirarchy. Yes, he was a descendant of
a number of major figures in the Empire, but that mattered little as anything he said could be viewed as official state policy. So, as a
result, he had to quickly learn to watch what he said and when he said it. Nonetheless, his time as Emperor Antei would help him to
build his relationship with the DFD, ingratiating him with its leadership and with the government as a whole. By 2022, he found
himself as a likely candidate for the office of Prime Minister, having refused to take the office of Chancellor upon his father's eventual
resignation. Now, as he finds himself in the limelight, he prepares to make his play.
The dragon of the east stirs from its slumber, never to rest again.

NOTES Suketoshi lost his left arm and right eye to a firefight during the Volhynian War. While normally this would be grounds for a discharge,
he was given the option of moving into a more administrative role, one which would see him remain in Daitō full-time. As an aside,
because of this he now wears a glass eye.
