Background (Please keep this semi-short):
Rai is the younger of two sons of the former leader of his world's space colonies. He left his family on a very bitter note after a terrorist incident in which his brother's wife was killed. After leaving, he put his talents to use as a Personal Trooper test pilot for a lunar laboratory developing a heavily experimental new Black Hole Engine, to which he was assigned.

When the first full activation test came around, starting up the engine triggered a critical reaction, one which obliterated the entire base, though it was thankfully mostly evacuated at the time. Rai and the project heads survived through plot intervention, and Rai had one less arm to show for it.

A while after this, Rai was recruited as one of three specially selected pilots for the SRX Project, an Earth Federation Army funded program designed to develop Personal Troopers focused around the abilities of psychic pilots. He was the only non-psychodriver on the team.

His team, the SRX Team, has been through multiple wars at this point, including internal conflicts, alien invasions, and major interdimensional alien and military intrusions, with even some time travel thrown in to make matters more convoluted than they already were.

After these conflicts, Rai was reassigned from the SRX Team to an elite military task force called the Aggressors.

Approved.
