Reiko Natsuki is an 18 year old Japanese woman living in Nagasaki with her father and very ill mother. She has just graduated high school and works at a gas station to earn her keep around the house. She is 5'3, 124 pounds, somewhat thick body tone, has long black hair and brown eyes. Reiko is driving to her fathers job at Jinkara Sciences to pick him up after work. She arrives a bit ahead of schedule and sits in her car listening to her radio. She hears news that Jinkara Sciences has announced they have made a breakthrough in unlocking hidden potential inside the human genome. No more was said after the announcement. About 20 minutes later Reiko's father appears and greets his daughter. "Hello Reiko, how was your day?" "It was fine father." "So i assume you heard the news?" "Yes is it true?" Her father holds up a bottle with a clear liquid. "Yes finally Reiko, humanity is about to finally awaken themselves to the dormant portions of their genome." "How does it work father?" "Well at the moment we have made it to work with specific people so at best its experimental." "And who would these people be?" "Myself of course and a few others at work." "Hmph." Reiko starts driving home and drops her father off at home then she heads to her weekly Aikido class. She is beginning to learn advanced weapon combat and weapon disarms. Before school ended she became a 6th Kyu and the 3rd best practitioner in the class.
After the class ends two hours later, she starts to drive home. On her way home she stops for gas at the gas station she works at. Her friends Kasumi and Rie greet her. "Hey Reiko!" "Hey Kasumi! Wheres Rie?" "Oh shes inside on the cash register." "Ah, tell her i said hi." "Will do Reiko." "So Reiko i heard about the announcement your fathers company released." "Yeah he says what they've invented will totally unlock hidden abilities in our genome." "Hmm i wonder if they can use whatever they invented to cure diseases around the world?" "Well anythings possible right?" "I guess." "Oh the gas stopped pumping." Reiko goes to pay for the gas but Kasumi stops her. "You know Kenji will kill you if i don't pay." "Well what he wont know wont kill him right?" "Thanks Kasumi you're a good friend." "No problem now get on home" "Thanks, ill call you when you get off work." "Ok see you later Reiko." "See ya." Reiko drives off and arrives home about 20 minutes later. She sees her father sitting in a chair next to her mother Sakura. She was diagnosed with cancer several years ago and she only has about 6 years left to live. Reiko walks in the room and knocks on the wall. "How is she dad?" "Considering everything she's fine." "That's good." Reiko walks closer to her mother and kisses her on the forehead. "You'll be ok mother." "I'm going to sleep now dad, let me know if anything changes." "Ok Rei." Reiko goes in her room, reads for a bit, goes to the bathroom and then goes to sleep.
