Advanced Character Profile
Character Name: Makoto Kino
Gender: Female
Age and Date of Birth: 16, December 5th
Used Canons: Anime/Manga
Appearance: Makoto has long, wavy brown hair that she keeps tied in a ponytail with a green barrette. Her eyes are green and she wears a set of pink rose earrings. She is 5'7" in height, taller than the average girl in Japan, and she's physically fit from her martial arts training. Her skin becomes marked with a green circuit pattern spreading from her chest to her limbs and neck when she's using her abilities.
Makoto's high school uniform is a blue skirt with a blue collar and red stripes. Her casual outfits can range from a simple jacket and long pants, to a more traditionally feminine skirt and blouse combination.
Personality: Makoto looks intimidating at first glance, with her quick temper and tendency to get into fights, but she's really a kind person. She is protective around people who can't defend themselves, and will always step in to guard the honor or reputation of her friends, or support them in any way. She's headstrong, sincere, and straightforward thinking, and will often charge into something without much of a plan.
Beneath her tough exterior lies her softer side, and she is fond of romance, getting crushes on guys who resemble the boy who rejected her in the past. Before she got into high school and started making friends, she was more of a loner, used to being shunned or avoided by others. Mako is courageous and does not back down from a challenge, but sometimes still wrestles with the thought that she's too tomboyish or rough for a girl. She's become more independent than the usual teenager from having to live on her own and take care of herself.
Makoto's dream is to get married, and open a flower shop or bakery. She likes cooking, gardening, shopping, video games, karate, cleaning, and reading romance novels. She dislikes cheaters and bullies. Mako is afraid of airplanes and is easily distracted by people and things that remind her of her past love life, but is also loyal to a fault and never gives up on someone.
Any Unique Abilities/Skills: Makoto is a martial artist and a great cook. After surviving a plane crash when she was a younger child, she now possesses the ability to create and control electricity, and has enhanced strength. She can also sense storms coming in the distance or other electrical disturbances nearby.
History: When she was 6 years old, Makoto and her parents were taking a plane back to Japan from a family vacation. Before the plane could land, it was hijacked by a crew of robbers, who took control of the jet and threatened the passengers' lives for money. Because the pilot couldn't control what was going on, the plane ended up flying through a thundercloud and being struck multiple times. The engine failed, and it crashed landed on a mountainside in the forest. Makoto's parents died trying to protect her, along with most of the other passengers except for one of the hijackers. That incident was what triggered her abilities to manifest, and she ended up an orphan.
Makoto jumped from foster home to foster home, having a difficult time adjusting due to her developing powers sabotaging things. She couldn't fully understand what was going on either, so she was simply blamed for the odd power outages and broken electronics.
She constantly switched schools growing up afterward, repeatedly getting into fights with people because of her height and appearance. Mako developed a rougher exterior to better defend herself, and she quickly ended up building a reputation of being a troublemaker and dangerous. After once again changing middle schools, she ended up living alone at age 14 in her own small apartment. Her first day of High School was different though, and she finally made more permanent friends to count on, though she is still wary that she could lose them and does her best to try and seem as normal as possible.
At the same time, she begins leaving her apartment at night to patrol the streets in costume as Juno, protecting others from criminals. She uses it as a stress relief and a form of exercise as she starts to realize that her electricity is better controlled when used regularly instead of suppressed.

RP Sample: - Here:
It was her first day of High School tomorrow, and Makoto was standing on her apartment's rooftop, dressed like a very flamboyant hockey player of some sort. Even with the cloth mask and helmet to cover most of her face, she still felt self conscious in her handmade outfit that combined sports equipment and fabrics.
But she was going to try something tonight, no matter how embarrassed she felt right now. She'd been struggling with how to deal with her weird "gift" for years, and now she'd see if they could be useful. Makoto had watched the so called vigilantes on the news, and she'd always looked up to them for standing up for what was right. She could have used one of them on that plane.
She spotted what looked like a group of people gathering in an alleyway, and decided to start her search for trouble there.
Makoto - no, she was Juno now - jumped down onto the nearest fire escape and then all the way to the road. The landing was a little rough, but she absorbed the shock better than she thought. It was good to know her strength was enough to keep her knees intact. She looked both ways before bounding across the street, moving faster than she'd ever dared to before. It was freeing in a way, being able to go all out for once.
It turned out that Juno had been right to be suspicious, as the group of people turned out to be a gang of thugs harassing some salary-man on his way home from the office. She frowned as she watched them harass their prey, and then demand his wallet. Juno cleared her throat, and they turned to look at her.
Predictably, they started laughing at her clothes. The salary-man tried to slip away, but one thug grabbed his collar and yanked him to the floor. Juno could feel the electricity at her fingertips already as her heart hammered. There were at least 8 of them, but she wasn't about to back away now.
"Let him go, and I'll forget I saw your faces tonight," she said. The tallest one, who she assumed was the leader, snorted.
"You don't look like a cop to me. Which failed sentai show's set did you come off of?" he asked, adjusting his glasses. His friends howled in response, and Juno let her temper get the best of her. She reared back her arm and punched the wall of the closest building. Her crackling fist left a wide indent in the bricks, and the gang went silent, staring at her with wide eyes as she shook her hand out.
"You wanna say that again?" she asked. The leader was silent, but he made a single motion with his hand. The rest of the gang pulled out their crude weapons and charged at her.
Minutes later, the police were called over to the area to investigate a noise complaint and weirdly enough, flashes of light and rumbling thunder. They arrived to find a group of subdued and bruised up Yakuza, their clothes covered in static. Juno watched from overhead with a grin hidden behind her mask, feeling both pumped up and in control after her first real fight. She should have tried this out years ago!
