Shinya Watanabe

Shinya Watanabe, born in Tokyo, Japan in 1977AD, grew up a street delinquent, beating up other kids for lunch money. At the age of 35, thinking he applied to work at a local warehouse, he found himself as a test subject for cryogenic freezing testing aboard a science vessel somewhere near Antarctica. The project failed within two months when the ship sank and all equipment was lost at sea except for Watanabe's frozen capsule, which was recovered by the search and rescue team. Unable to awaken him, Shinya's family kept him as a family heirloom until his family emigrated into New Eden, taking Shinya with them.

His family eventually settled in the Lirsautton system. Two years after settling, he was unfrozen after being auctioned off by the Gallentean government when Shinya's family was unable to pay interstellar taxes due to one of his family members, Jay gambling the family savings away. His story picks up after attending several therapy sessions for extreme culture shock.
