Konflikt '47 Kimura Tadaaki, Scourge of the Spirit Realm

Until late-1946 Kimura Tadaaki had been a test pilot for the Imperial Japanese Army, specialising in armoured walkers. He would seemingly be killed when a prototype’s ghost engine exploded, engulfing him in Rift energy. Rather than become just another unfortunate victim of phasing experimentation, Kimura miraculously survived, but would become something far beyond human.

Kimura had been thrown into Shinobi space, far from human perception, infused with energies that resonated with the place in which he found himself. Though he yearned for death, it would not come, having seemingly developed an imperviousness to physical harm. He also found he had developed the ability to partially manipulate the energies within him, such as to project it with force, or create and control energy constructs.

Over the first half of 1947, Kimura would train with Iwo Jima-based philosopher-scientists to gain mastery of his new abilities. They also fashioned a unique armour for him, serving two roles; to help him contain the rampant energies swirling within him, and as a morale-boosting reminder of samurai traditions for the ghosts he serves beside.
