  Takumi
  One of the brightest minds in medicine 
  may be an unhinged mind as well.
  Dr. Takumi Sugiyama was born in Okinawa, Earth, on 
  2179. His parents, a successful professional couple, 
  frequently shared with young Takumi the dark tales of 
  their own childhood in a shelter among the ruins of a 
  devastated Okinawa in the years following the comet 
  crash of 2133; and of the death, hunger and disease 
  that defined life in those days. A few lucky souls 
  managed to catch a ride out of the planet in the ships 
  from Project Ascension, but Takumi vividly imagined 
  the remaining survivors needing help to battle the 
  many diseases and health problems of those days. 
  His passion for life, health and the value of medicine 
  began then.
  After finishing school, the extremely talented 
  Takumi applied to and was accepted at the prestigious 
  Tsinghua University School of Medicine in the 
  reconstructed Beijing, in former China. He graduated 
  top of his class and joined the surgeon team of the top 
  private clinic back in Tokyo. There he met and married 
  the wealthy clinic owner’s daughter, Haruko; and soon 
  she gave birth to their beautiful daughter, Saki. The 
  ambitious young surgeon looked forward to a life of 
  success and happiness.
  Then the dreams began.
  At first they appeared to be nothing but vivid, 
  disturbing nightmares. Strange spider-like monsters, 
  with four legs, six clawed arms and long necks ending 
  in huge maws filled with teeth, moving along strange 
  mucus-filled passageways bathed in a strange light. 
  Pulsating monsters covered in a hard carapace, or 
  winged monstrosities flying in alien darkened skies. 
  Once he dreamt of a huge octopus-like creature sitting 
  in the center of an enormous dome built from a flesh-
  like, mucus-covered substance; the creature moved 
  its tentacles into and out of strange holes in the 
  walls filled with a gelatin-like substance, as if playing 
  an instrument. Then he saw thousands of these 
  creatures walking on planets full of humans, killing at 
  will, burning continents, covering worlds in radiation, 
  destroying everything… And some of the dying people 
  attacked by these creatures turned to him for help, and 
  he healed them, because only he knew how.
  He dreamt this day after day. He would wake up 
  shaken and disturbed. He tried to laugh off the dreams, 
  but they didn’t stop, and they were always the same. 
  He began to obsessively focus on dreams. He became 
  more and more convinced, without evidence, that

  his dreams were a message, something he should 
  urgently understand.
  And then the dreams invaded his waking time.
  Takumi noticed it first when he was walking to work 
  one day and saw one of the four-legged monsters 
  running towards him from the far end of the street. He 
  screamed in panic and tried to avoid it, while a small 
  part of his mind wondered why everyone else behaved 
  as if they could not see it. When the creature was about 
  to crush him, it suddenly disappeared, leaving Takumi 
  crying and trembling on the sidewalk floor.
  He started seeing monsters everywhere. The 
  creatures surrounded him at every turn, they were 
  there, at home, at work, in the park, as if he had 
  schizophrenia or were inside a V-World horror game.
  He asked a friend who was a mental expert for help. 
  His friend ran several tests and brain scans and found 
  no unusual abnormalities, but he found what could 
  be faint traces of psionic meddling. Takumi thought 
  these visions might have been planted by someone, 
  but who would want to do that to him? Plus, he did 
  some research and found there is no known psionic 
  power that could create this kind of dream (puppet 
  and other minor powers have been shown to put ideas 
  into people’s heads, but nothing could do something at 
  the scale of what Takumi was seeing). Could Takumi’s 
  visions be caused by the side effect of some psionic 
  power close to him?
  Despite one or two awkward moments, Takumi 
  had so far been able to hide his situation from almost 
  everyone around him. His wife Haruko knew about 
  his dreams but he kept his day visions a secret from 
  her; the high-society, everything-is-for-image Haruko 
  would probably be more concerned about how having 
  a ‘crazy’ husband would make her family look than 
  about Takumi himself. So he kept the his problem as 
  secret as he could.
  Then one day he was performing a high-risk surgery 
  on a patient, when the doors to the operating room 
  burst open and a particularly huge creature jumped 
  to attack him with its horrifying maw. He screamed, 
  acting on reflex, and when he regained control of 
  himself saw the blood-covered corpse of the patient 
  that he had blindly killed while he was “defending” 
  himself from something that wasn’t there.
  His secret was discovered, he was shamed and fired 
  as a doctor. The investigation unearthed the tests his 
  friend had made on him, He was diagnosed as mentally 
  ill and interned in a sanatorium while awaiting trial for 
  manslaughter. Unable to handle the scandal, Haruko 
  divorced him and left, taking Saki with her. And the 
  visions still kept coming, day and night.
  Ruined, unhinged and alone, Takumi waited in the 
  sanatorium cell for everything to end, accompanied 
  only by the monsters that were always with him. Then 
  one day he heard voices outside his cell door. The 
  doctor in charge of him was talking to someone he 
  didn’t know. He couldn’t catch the conversation except 
  for one cryptic sentence: “You know, doctor, he might 
  not be as crazy as everyone thinks he is.”
  The door opened and a man dressed in Circle uniform 
  entered and introduced himself as Circle Epsilon 
  Leader Trevor Antoine. The man told him his amazing 
  medical skills could be of use to the Circle, and that 
  they could help him deal with his visions. If he agreed, 
  the Circle might find a way to get him out.
  In the depths of his despair, a single thought cut 
  through Takumi’s mind: Saki. He might be able to see 
  his little daughter again.
  So he accepted the Circle officer’s proposal. The 
  Circle pulled some strings and assumed responsibility 
  for his actions and treatment, as well as for his pending 
  sentence. He was prescribed a very strong medication 
  to control his visions, and underwent Circle training 
  as a doctor.
  It’s been two years since he’s joined the Circle, 
  and he’s slowly finding a place for himself in the 
  organization. The nightmares and day visions are

  Takumi
  still with him, but as long as he has pills to take 
  he feels he can put up with them. He is constantly 
  unsure of himself, except when he acts as a doctor. 
  In those moments he is fully aware and efficient, just 
  like he wanted to be when he was a child dreaming 
  of medicine.
  He hopes that one day these dreams and visions will 
  go away and he will go back to being who he always 
  thought he was. That day he will finally be able to see 
  and hug Saki again.
  APPEARANCE
  Takumi Sugiyama is a thin man with straight black hair 
  and Asian features. He is currently thirty-eight years 
  old. He dresses in standard Circle uniform and usually 
  carries a bag branded with a medical logo. A brilliant 
  doctor, he is severely crippled by his mental condition, 
  which manifests itself in his constant visions. It is 
  not uncommon during a conversation for him to start 
  looking behind someone’s shoulder or at the horizon, 
  as if he were seeing something that isn’t there. How 
  scared or disturbed he becomes depends on whether 
  he has recently taken the pills he brings with him 
  everywhere, and that he takes liberally. One wonders 
  what would happen if he ever ran out of pills.
  When not lost in his visions, Takumi is an extremely 
  intelligent person and an absolutely brilliant doctor. 
  When doing something related to medicine his 
  constant insecurities dissolve. When in combat, he 
  is usually better at finding weaknesses in the enemy 
  and exploiting them via tricks or subterfuge than in 
  direct confrontation.
  TAKUMI’S ASSISTANT: 
  “TURTYGON”
  Takumi’s assistant is Turtygon, a cute and cuddly mini-
  monster sidekick from a popular V-World animated 
  series for children. Turtygon can barely say anything 
  other than its own name, but it seems to understand 
  everything Takumi tells him, and Takumi understands 
  its growls and body language perfectly, and can have 
  complex conversations with it. People tend to assume 
  that Takumi’s fondness from Turtygon comes from an 
  odd, brainy passion for kids’ shows, but they miss the 
  real reason behind Takumi’s fondness for his Assistant: 
  Turtygon was Saki’s favorite character from the 
  V-World show.
