Haru Yamada

Haru Yamada (RN: Unknown) known mainly by his Pediatric Ward classification "Boy 416", was an orphaned Default that attended Cornovis EFOM #16 at the same time as Todd O'Massey. He escaped the facility on May 14, 2324 and was on his own from that point forward. He fought in the Battle for Aquarri and spent his later life as a literary professor on his home planet Valentine.

Early Life (2310-2324)
A record from Brooklyn Lake Hospital on Valentine stated that Haru was born on September 9, 2310 to an underage, single mother. She lived long enough to name him but died from internal bleeding. Haru was kept in the pediatric ward at the hospital until he was 5, the age appropriate for admittance to Cornovis. His given name, Haru Yamada, was never revealed to him in his lifetime.

While in the pediatric ward, Haru lived with other orphaned kids under the age if 5. He was taught basic skills such as the alphabet and played learning games with the other kids to build his social skills and his motor skills. On his 5th birthday he was shipped off planet to the randomly chosen Cornovis EFOM #16 on Dysnomia. He was told that this was coming as soon as he comprehended language and was prepared for it.

Haru was an extremely quiet boy but held a deep understanding of what happened around him. He was among the few kids who stayed strong for others who couldn't do it themselves. He went exclusively by "Boy 416" because he never new his real name and Cornovis never gave him one.

It was Haru's idea to start scavenging the fallen warships on the grounds for spare parts the kids could turn into weapons. He had witnessed many others failed escape attempts and was tired of his seeing his friends disappearing. He led the mission that eventually led to a successful escape on May 14, 2324 with Todd O'Massey and Delia Bandsman and several others. After they got miles away from the facility, he separated ways with them and went off alone.

Post Escape (2324-2330)
Haru spent the most part of his teen years living in the woods of Dysnomia and stealing from stores by posing as a Reviewer. He slept in sheds in the backyards of peoples houses and cleaned up in bathrooms of public places. He didn't have a registry number so no one ever tracked him down, but if he was caught he'd be taken to jail for not carrying an identity. When he turned 18 and bought a ticket off planet to Valentine. He used money taken from the houses he had stayed in.

Once back on Valentine Haru enrolled himself in college under the name "C. Bandsman". He went into literature because he had grown up loving reading without ever getting to read. He registered with a faked registration number given to him by a hacker on the moon colony Orion.
