[h3][b]APPEARANCE & PERSONALITY[/b][/h3][hr]
[indent]

[u][b]APPEARANCE          [/b][/u]
[indent]Makoto is an intimidatingly beautiful young Japanese woman. In fact, there is very little about Makoto that is not intimidating. Her gaze is a piercing crimson, and her long, black hair runs down past her waist, contrasting sharply with her smooth, pale skin. While not much taller than most women her age (173 cm), her presence makes her seem far larger than she is. Makoto oozes with confidence, aggression, and projects a constant aura of competition and determination. Her dress sense is practical yet stylish, generally preferring black boots, trousers and sweaters.[/indent]

[u][b]PERSONALITY TRAITS          [/b][/u]
[indent]Tomboyish, aggressive, confident, straightforward, honest to a fault. Can be somewhat lackadaisical, is generally bad with money, and is flirtatious with other women. Constantly seeking new challenges and trying to achieve new heights.[/indent]

[u][b]BACKSTORY & MOTIVATION          [/b][/u]
[indent]It is not an exaggeration to say that martial arts have defined Makoto's entire life. She was born in Kurokami Temple, a monastery and dojo in a rural, mountainous region of Japan. While her parents are both esteemed martial artists in their own right, her grandfather is a true legend. Kurokami Tenshin, a man known by some as "the God of Battle." Considered to be one of the most powerful fighters in the world at his prime, he retired to raise his family and tend to his ancestral temple some forty years ago, disappearing from the world stage.

Though his son did not inherit his legendary power, it seems that his granddaughter has. A true prodigy, Makoto demonstrated uncanny skill and might from a very young age. At age eight, she was able to defeat a grown adult in hand-to-hand combat. At age fourteen, she was able to fight the Assistant Master of Kurokami Temple to a draw. By age seventeen, the only fighter at the temple able to compete at her level was her own grandfather. While she spent her youth showered in the adoration of her peers and classmates, Makoto found life to be incredible dull; no one she knew could remotely challenge her (as he grandfather refused to participate in anything more than light sparring), and her power was so overwhelming that she knew no way to improve.

As a result, Makoto was a somewhat rebellious youth. She enjoyed gambling and other mild delinquent behavior, often skipped classes, and spent her weekends in nearby cities trying to pick fights with tough-looking passerby. Her rebellious spirit was inflamed by the then Assistant Master of the temple, a man known as Shadakou, who tried to teach her his philosophy of domination and righteousness through strength. Though Shadakou was eventually banished from the temple, some wonder if his teachings had an adverse impact on Makoto.

After graduating from high school, Makoto pretitioned her grandfather to train her as his successor as Grand Master of Kurokami Temple. He denied her, claiming that she lacked the temperament and discipline to lead the temple in his stead. Rejected and disheartened, Makoto left home to become a Nomad, claiming the title of "Goddess of Battle" so that her status as her grandfather's rightful successor could become widely known. Now she seeks to pit her might against ever stronger opponents around the world, and prove to her grandfather that she has what it takes to become Grand Master. [/indent]

[h3][b]FIGHTING STYLE & ABILITIES[/b][/h3][hr]

[indent][u][b]FIGHTING STYLE          [/b][/u]
[indent]Makoto has been trained in the traditional style of her family's temple, the Kuroi Hoshi, which was devised as practical hand-to-hand combat method during the first Sino-Japanese War. However, she has adapted the style to better suit her own abilities, thus creating what she calls the Hoshi Goroshi style. In battle, Makoto exerts an overwhelming offense, combining her shocking speed and enormous power to blow away opponents before they get a chance to defend. All-out, unrelenting attack is her strategy, never allowing her opponent to rest or recover. Her ki techniques visibly extrude a black, destructive aura, though the spiritual quality of her ki is still pure and noble.[/indent]

[u][b]SPECIAL MOVES & TECHNIQUES          [/b][/u]

[indent][u]■   Black Star Strike[/u]
[indent]Makoto launches forward with a straightforward punching attack. Her enormous strength is enough to blow away any normal human opponent with one strike, and can inflict significant damage to any Nomad that underestimates her.[/indent][/indent]

[indent][u]■   Black Star Cluster[/u]
[indent]Makoto strikes out in multiple directions with unspeakable strength, fast enough that it seems like she's attacking in all directions at once. This technique is less focused than the Black Star Strike, and thus less powerful, but is meant to take on multiple combatants at once.[/indent][/indent]

[indent][u]■   Black Hole[/u]
[indent]By focusing all of her strength into her grip, Makoto can create a localized distortion in gravity. Enemies that try to escape her are sucked back in toward her, and projectiles in midair can be slightly diverted.[/indent][/indent]

[indent][u]■   Black Star Nova[/u]
[indent]Makoto's ki solidifies into a miniature star, a blazing-hot fireball that can be kicked at her foes, or they can be kicked into it.[/indent][/indent]

[indent][u]■   Black Star Pulse[/u]
[indent]Makoto's equivalent of a ranged ki attack; however she pours so much power into the attack that rather than a beam or a projectile, it is instead an explosive and concussive burst of short-range power.[/indent][/indent]

[u][b]SUPER MOVES          [/b][/u]

[indent] [u]■   Black Meteor Crusher[/u]
[indent]Again, a straightforward punch, but infused with the pure, destructive force of Makoto's ki. According to rumor, if her grandfather hadn't diverted this attack the first time she used it, it would have split Mt Fuji down the middle.[/indent][/indent]

[indent] [u]■   Black Star Destroyer[/u]
[indent]Makoto's ultimate technique, wherein she summons every ounce of power she has, and simply fires it at her enemy in a single blast. Makoto claims that if misdirected, this technique could destroy the Earth. Is it true? Hopefully we'll never find out. [/indent][/indent]

[u][b]WEAKNESSES & LIMITS          [/b][/u]
[indent]While Makoto is strong without a doubt, and a superb martial artist, she suffers greatly from her youth and inexperience. She is not what some would call a smart fighter, and her battle strategy begins and ends at destroying her opponent with brute force. Defense is a tertiary concern at best, and she'd sooner die than retreat. Though her endurance is impressive by human standards, exerting her enormous strength is extremely taxing, and she is hardly judicious in where she uses it, and as a result she tires very quickly in battle. Given that she has only rarely had a battle that lasts longer than a single strike, Makoto is completely oblivious to this weakness. An experienced fighter that can either avoid, deflect, or otherwise endure her sheer power can gain the upper hand on her by allow Makoto to overexert herself.[/indent]

[/indent]

[h3][b]OTHER[/b][/h3][hr]
[indent][indent]Makoto loves anything black licorice flavored.[/indent][/indent]
