Korgin Yamamoto

Korgin Yamamato is a GearHeart armorsmith, the second of three heirs of the Yamamoto Defense Industries corporation. He served the company as Chief Engineer, working in the labs and workshops to make Yamamoto Armor the best in the business. Under his father's guidance and fostering, he and his siblings planned to run the company as an oligarch someday.

This plan hit two major roadblocks. His brother's death hit him hard, bringing him further from his father but closer to his sister. The second major change came from his brother coming back in the form of mysterious letters. Those letters have brought him on an unplanned expedition into ValuSelu Pact space.

Korgin is the strongest mind of my children, capable of engineering solutions to any request we may receive.

His ambition is rivaled only by his sisters, but his ambition tends to lead to recklessness.

The Silver Spoon

Korgin, just like his siblings, were genetically curated through in vitro methods. All are biological children of Jun Tran and Joll Yamamoto. Even from birth, technology always backed Korgin into a life made easy. Robotic care takers replaced most interactions with his parents, even into his childhood and early teen years his interactions with family almost always had some element of work associated with it.

If there was a family dinner, I can almost garuntee that work's on the docket. Father has such little time that every bit of bonding time was pretty much a one on one meeting.

A bit depressing, but hey it's what I had!

— Korgin Yamamoto

During his formative years, he began to explore life on his own terms, working on his own projects with his brother Kelvin Yamamoto and going out to celebrations and fesitivities with his friends Zaffir and Fykknou Vvich. The odd trio got into a chain of shenangians in the streets of the Yamamoto Industries homeworld, to the point that Yamamoto received scandalous headlines about Korgin's 'Wild Party Streak.'

Yet even through the scandals, Korgin continued to innovate the family line of armors, helping to engineer the Oni Storm Armor

  Yamamoto Search Party Arrives

A string of losses

Korgin's streak of parties came to end when Fykk was killed in an accident street-side. Korgin only heard the news from his family, who offered their symathy and two weeks of bereavement. Korgin became closer with Zaffir and Agatha over the loss, drowning out the sorrows of his lost friend with expensive libations and cheap intimacy.

A year later his brother vanished during a trip to Pact space to discuss a potential ramp down of conflict between The Andromeda Syndicate and The ValuSelu Pact. He was assumed dead, and the entire Yamamoto company closed its doors for a week to mourn and pass down ownership.

A Change of plans

Several years passed, Korgin continued his lifestyle of entertainment and luxury, still maintaining his ability to produce for the company.

He received plenty of admonishment from his parents on his behavior, declaring it unbecoming for a Yamamoto to be 'sleazing' about in the streets bars and clubs. Yet Korgin did not listen, still working away the trauma of losing one his best friends and his brother.

The second change of his path came when his brother came back to life in the form of letters from the Pact. Those letters not only told of his brothers whereabouts, but also asked Korgin to make the trip to meet him. The letters also revealed that Fykk was not only alive, but within Yamamoto Defense HQ, under guard and research by the family he served.

His life shifted, from maintaining the status quo and getting his cheap thrills, so saving his friend in captivity and learning the truth about his brother.

Now he is adventuring with his best friends Fykknou Vvich and Zaffir in Pact space to try and find his long lost brother.
