Biography

Most people are surprised when they find out Tamako's true identity. The story behind her creation revolves around a uniform issue that required resolution at one point in the crew, where a ladies' dress was to be devised. No female members were present at the time, so Solgun volunteered to model as one. While the issue was eventually scrapped, Tamako remained, and became quite popular with "Femme Fatales"'s Rapia and "Jack Aces"'s Bermuda, who at the time, worked under Tomorama in the original "The Curse of Apollogeist". For the course of about a month, Bermuda and Rapia identified with Solgun as Tamako, who served as Tomorama's Fleet Officer. When he finally introduced them to his actual crew, the two confessed how believable Solgun's impression was. While he had intended no harm in this matter, he pledged from then on to introduce himself as his real identity whenever interacting personally with individuals under the guise of Tamako, so as to avoid negative connotations with the gender facade. In essence, Solgun uses Tamako solely for fun, and to get the non-identity associated advantages of having an alt.
