First half is done. Rest is WIP.

Street name Banshī.[/color] [color=Gold][b]Nationality[/b][/color] [color=Silver]Japanese.[/color] [color=Gold][b]Age[/b][/color] [color=Silver]23.[/color] [color=Gold][b]Sexuality[/b][/color] [color=Silver]Unclear.[/color] [color=Gold][b]Birth[/b][/color] [color=Silver]Yokohama District, Tokyo, 2008.[/color] [hr] [color=Gold][b]Appearance[/b][/color] [color=Silver]In and out of armour, Yukiko is not a particularly extraordinary individual. Dull chocolate eyes, a pleasant if poorly maintained countenance and medium length brown hair pulled back into a rough ponytail make for an unremarkable appearance, another jacket-and-jeans wearing woman waking the streets of Tokyo. Nothing about her makes her stand out, an appearance not curated, but instead just a genuine result of her lifestyle. This average appearance extends to when she's working too. Past the unique appearance the AVNSD gives her PDHUD, the Ō-Yoroi weave she wears is hardly an uncommon sight, being used by both gangsters and private security, and although katanas might stand out elsewhere, in Tokyo a lot of goons carry cheap blades to look tougher. Only when the guns are firing and her skills come to bear does her exceptional side show.[/color] [color=Gold][b]Height[/b][/color] [color=Silver]5'1".[/color] [color=Gold][b]Personality[/b][/color] [color=Silver]The best word to describe Yukiko is 'professional.' Being a mercenary, she conducts herself without much pomp or circumstance, and her rough life has given her an inherently down to Earth and less bombastic personality. Years of directly conducting herself with clients have left her knowledgeable and able to explain her strengths whilst also allowing her to remain consumately professional. Many might underestimate her from this, and oftentimes this is the last mistake they will ever make. This lack of a flashy and outgoing personality extends to her buying habits. Although her custom-ordered firearms and blades might make one think she's a big spender, this could be far from the truth- she's actually quite reserved, her weapons 'business expenses' and nothing more. She eats at cheap ramen bars for lunch, drinks Asahi Dry and lives in a small apartment. Even in combat she can often be missed, as her smaller frame and unsuspecting weaponry conceal her skill with firearms and blades... Or, at least, missed right until her AVNSD turns on, and suddenly foes are left reeling and ripe for the picking. In combat, she is an efficient, self-maintained operator, taking no pleasure as the bodies stack up behind her other than the grim statisfaction of a job well done. Her preferred post-mission meal are a plate of dumplings.[/color] [hr] [color=Gold][b]Role[/b][/color] [color=Silver]Heavy Assault. Yukiko does not do subtlety.[/color] [color=Gold][b]Equipment[/b][/color] [color=Silver] [hider=Weaponry] [i]Nihonto Katana & Wakizashi:[/i] Although not strictly speaking 'true' Nihonto blades, as they were made with modern metals, they [i]are[/i] made in Japan, by a Japanese swordsmith, and specifically sized and balanced for Yukiko. Unlike many street chumps she doesn't embellish her weapons with glowing paint or flashy accessories; her swords are a no-nonsense, well-sharpened mankillers with eelskin grips. Kept maintained to a mirror finish. To quote an old film, if Yukiko encountered God, God would be cut. Not made in Okinawa. [i]Mateba New Model Autorevolver:[/i] The successor to the 1997 Mateba Autorevolver. A custom order imported from Montebelluna, Italy, it's unknown how exactly Yukiko managed to acquire not only such a unique firearm, but one loaded with 5.7x26mm rounds instead of its usual configuaration. Apparently the story involved a gunsmith, a lot of blood and even more money. Something about a Roman Emperor in there too. Six shots, semi-automatic, armour piercing. [i]Micro-Uzi Pro:[/i] Yukiko's prodigious ability to acquire rare guns strikes again. Usually only seen in the hands of Israel's Defence Force, these all-polymer submachine guns are tiny and extremley lightweight, whilst still capable of hosing town targets with 9x19. [i]Benelli M3:[/i] 12 gauge version. Taken for operations where she expects a large amount of close-quarters work against heavily armoured opponents that her swords would struggle against. A very common sight in the hands of law enforcment, military operators and civillians all over the world, which, ironically, makes it stand out somewhat in Yukiko's hands. [/hider] [hider=Armour] [i]Ō-Yoroi Kevlar Weave:[/i] An old name for a new armour, Ō-Yoroi weave is a lightweight bullet resistant set including breastplate, protective skirt for the groin and upper legs, neck guard, shoulders and biceps. Only really considered to be protective against street-level weaponry, the fact that Yukiko routinely brings it to tactical combat situations and comes out alive is a sign of not only extreme cockiness, but also proficiency. [/hider] [hider=Augments] None. [/hider] [hider=Gadgets] [i]Sessho-Seki Audiovisual-Neurostatic Disruptor:[/i] The original Sessho-Seki was said to be a stone huanted by the sprit of Tamano-no-Mae, the legendary fox spirit, that would kill whoever touched it. The Sessho-Seki AVNSD does not bring death, but in Yukiko's hands, certainly has the reaper's spectre following it. The device appears as a simple PHUD mounted on Yukiko's head, and, indeed, that is its usual purpose, but the non-standard amplifiers placed over her mouth and the large speakers mounted onto her front and back have a much more sinister reason to exist. When activated, the AVNSD sends out a barrage of narrow-spectrum waves specifically designed to target machines and men and make them suffer. Radios and personal communication devices howl with feedback, screens and HUDs stutter and fill with static, ears ring with tinnitus, eyes water and mouths fill with the thick taste of rust and copper. It is rare that one can focus through such an assault, and whilst hands are clapped over ears or eyes squeezed shut, Yuikiko moves in to neutralise once-threats permenantly. Although variants of this technology is commonly seen mounted on riot surpression or military vehicles, no commercial, personel-mounted variant has been known to exist due to the difficulties in inuring the operator to its own effects. How Yukiko manages to do so; if she uses custom made cybernetics, chems, a combination of both or some third, unknown option, isn't widely known. The device does have several downsides beyond the potential problems for its users. Its range is fairly short; only twenty or so metres out, with the full power of the effect only coming in at around ten metres, it's highly noticable, creating a sound described as a 'disco from hell' when activated, rendering stealth nigh-impossible, and the sheer range of frequencies require a tremendous amount of power, thus preventing it from being frequently used in an operation. Fortunately, Yukiko manages to downplay these negatives by carefully choosing the fights she can take, as well as when to activate the AVNSD to maximise its effects. [/hider] [/color] [color=Gold][b]Previous Careers[/b][/color] [color=Silver]A mercenary for longer than most would assume from someone so young and a professional street rat before that, Yukiko knows many people around both Tokyo and the world who can assist her when she really needs them. Not to mention that it's rare to find someone that can get around the capital faster than her.[/color] [hr] [color=Gold][b]Biography[/b][/color] [color=Silver]Who was this person before they joined the NSF? Were they a simple civilian dedicating their life to a cause after the Nuking of 2012, or perhaps they have a much more militarised background? Childhoods, what brought them up and maybe key information that will help show what shapes them as an individual.[/color] [color=Gold][b]Affiliations[/b][/color] [color=Silver]Who are they related to? Do they have any major friends or life-impacting allies prior to the RP's beginning?[/color] [hr] [color=Gold][b]Relationships [Optional][/b][/color] [color=Silver][list] [*]Kaz: Yukiko has worked with Kaz once before, in an operation that got the pair on the radar of the Jinrai. Having stood back to back admist puddles of blood, she knows that as unstable as the American is she [b]does[/b] put up one hell of a fight, and that worst comes to worse her huge frame makes half decent cover in a pinch.
