Character: Saito
Fandom: Inception
Character Notes:
History: CEO of Procius Global, his main rival is Robert Fischer/ Fischer Morrow, who he says will "control half the world's energy" if he is not stopped. He hires Cobb to run an "Inception" on Fischer so that he'll decide to squander his inheritance and allow Saito to take control of the market. An Inception is essentially a coup, staged in another person's ("The Mark"s) dreams. A team of experts will infiltrate said dreams and convince the Mark to do something in the real world he may not have done otherwise. An Inception is considered by most to be impossible, but Saito's convinced if it can be bought, it can be done. He buys out an airline so his hired team (Cobb "The Extractor", Eames "The Forger", Ariadne "The Architect", Arthur "The Point Man" and Yusuf "The Chemist") can sit with Robert in first class. Saito insists on joining the team as they delve into Robert Fischer's subconscious, and Eames dubs him "The Tourist." They design three tiers of dreams, another task said to be impossible and a key element in pulling off a successful inception. It is a "dream within a dream within a dream." On the first level, Saito is shot by one of Fischer's subconscious defenders. When a subject is trained by an extractor to defend his own dreams, his subconscious will militarize and form a literal defense in the dreamworld. Saito is bleeding to death in the van when they go to level two. The van is on a bridge and since time passes slower each level deeper they have until the van hits the water to get through Level Two. By level three his original dreamself has hit the water and drowned. Usually when a person is killed in a dream, they wake up. But during inception everyone must be heavily sedated, and so when they die they report to limbo where an indefinite amount of dream-time will pass. Saito grows old in Limbo, only recalling his original mission and waking up when Cobb pays him a visit. Without a totem, he was unable to tell the dream wasn't reality and didn't attempt to wake up. Saito and Cobb wake seconds after the rest and Saito immediately gets on the airplane phone to get Cobb through American customs, proving to be a man of his word.
Personality: He's a typical businessman, and lets that mentality rule most of his decision-making. He also believes that almost anything can be solved with money, as evidenced by his buying an entire airline on a whim. He's extremely determined and doesn't give up even when things get nasty. He insists on joining them in the dreamworld just because it's his venture, despite having no expertise or experience. His business is his entire life, and as we see him in limbo, without family nor friends, we can assume he's something of a loner and doesn't trust easily. But if you're worth more to him alive than dead (i.e. Robert) or if you've managed to gain his trust, he will protect you to the bitter end. He is very much into the philosophy of ends justifying the means, and his moral compass is gray at best. Basically, if it makes him money that's good. If he's losing money, that's very bad. That said, the Inception in sum total would leave a lasting affect on him. Despite going into the job feeling justified this experience will most likely haunt him for some time. He may even doubt that the whole venture was even worth it. But he wouldn't back down or show anyone this weakness, and will instead try to take his success in stride.

First Person (entry type): [He thinks he is posting to an energy forum at first, not realizing his mistake until after he hits enter,]
With global oil consumption down 1.2 million and natural gas down 2.1%, now is the first decline in energy since the early 1980s. It is more essential than ever to deliver efficiency at an affordable rate to the World over. Procius Global promises to bring you a revolution in procurement of private and public energy. Full satisfaction.

We are launching an entirely new way of doing business in which suppliers bid for your company, taking the guesswork out of securing the lowest rate. These auctions will be run in real time on the internet and once bidding is open, anyone may join. Because this operates on a reverse auction platform, you can only win.

Any company or household, from one person and up can sign up and begin bidding for a greener energy.

[He comes back some time later, when he also realizes he cannot access any other website,]

Is this some sort of computer virus set out by a rival? This seems a childish prank, but the coding is mature. I cannot even access my email over the phone.

Well, well, who would I be if I did not rise to a challenge. I greet you, community members, whoever you may be. You may call me Saito, and very soon, I will be one of the most important names in Energy across the Globe.

Third Person: [italics = in Japanese]

"Sir, a Dominic Cobb is here to see you."

Saito waved a hand, muttering an affirmative. He glanced up when Cobb entered the room, not saying anything, preferring a silent nod in greeting.

Cobb, as far as men went, was not much to look at. An average man in every aspect of himself and every meaning of the word. His slight nervousness and overtly charming nature did nothing to settle Saito, and in fact unnerved him. Yes, upon first glance, Dominic Cobb was entirely unassuming.

Saito wasn't buying it for a second. He knit his fingers together, leaning across his desk. "Please, Mr. Cobb, take a seat. We have much to discuss."

He gestured to the only chair in the room, taking in every fidget and nervous tic. If Mr. Cobb's self-proclaimed greatness was intimidated by this job, then he had no doubt he was headed in the right direction.

"They tell me you can accomplish "inception."" Saito leant into his hands, waiting patiently for Cobb's answer. He tried not to appear too eager, but he was certain it bled through his voice. It was difficult not to be excited, with such an opportunity laid at his feet.

"They say inception can't be accomplished at all."

He thought on that for a beat, scratching his beard as he regarded the other man. "I need you to accomplish it." His eyes spoke challenge, the ghost of a smile egging Cobb on. And while the hush that fell over the room spoke volumes to Cobb's mental state, it was a good omen for Mr. Saito.

What Saito wanted, Saito got, no matter the price tag.

Can we get another first person sample, please?

Thank you, but I think I'm going to rescind this app. Since the Inception people have already started canon I feel a little silly coming in mid-sentence ;; But thank you ♥ !

Ah, okay. Sorry about the timing. :c Feel free to apply for someone else, and consider this app rescinded.

That's okay bb! I have my sights on someone else.. already lmao. ♥ ♥
