Makoto Takai
Municipio 12
Roaming Magical Girl

Makoto's Magical Girl crash course had been short, but she just didn't feel well over there. Admittedly she still was pretty green behind her ears, but now she didn't lack the combat experience she had before her quick education.
With her gun slung around her shoulder she casually strolled through the dark and quiet Rome.
This image was rather quickly disturbed by a sinister presence.

A dark shadow of a bird dove upon the surprised girl, who, just in time managed to roll away from its menacing claws. In a quick flash, she activated her Magical powers and pulled out her musket, which was already loaded and ready to go, however, she wasn't able to make out the Error against the backdrop of the night sky.
Somehow, though, she managed to make out stars vanishing in the sky, aimed at the next possible spot and pulled the trigger resulting in a feral scream shaking Makoto's bones, but the bird was still flying and, with marvelous precision, dove back down towards the girl.

I'm sorry, I've been incredibly busy lately. I've got finals coming up and stuff. Last months of high school in Germany are very stressful, but I will continue this on the weekend, if we're still going to continue.

So, if we five are the only ones actually still playing, we should do something about it and maybe even start something together

Makoto Takai- Nameless group Warehouse Base "Having an organized group is a big deal, huh?", Makoto muttered. "I guess, I can help you with that, Silvia" She cracked her knuckles and grinned. "I might be an absolute greenhorn, but I do know how to get a group running, trust me. If I can get a bunch of ego-centrical, money-grubbing criminals to work together as a team, we sure as hell can make this a team, too. You can't be much worse than them." Her confidence basically radiated from every pore of her body signalling her readiness to take action. "Ah, by the way, Silvia, I don't know if you heard my name, I'm Makoto Takai, good to meetcha"

Makoto Takai- Nameless Group Warehouse Base "Pure, please" Makoto exclaimed while eyeing the one who intorduced herself as Lila. She seemed friendly enough, but Makoto's experience told her, people could be friendly on the outside, but actually condemn you on the inside. She had done it a couple of times before, too. "Yeah, it was one of the moderators, who wasn't really that cooperative at first, but after some... persuasion... I got sent here" She slumped forward in her chair and placed her head on her hand which she had leaning onto the table by her elbow. "So, you want to send me out already before telling me your name? How rude...", Makoto pouted, but her pout was quickly followed by a fit of laughter. "Sure, sure, if the three of you want me to accompany you, I'll do so. I might be green as puke, but I can handle myself, I think" She reached behind and from her back, one of her muskets appeared. As quick as she could, she pulled out the bayonet, mounted it on the barrel, then she installed a scope on top of the 19th century rifled musket. It sure looked different, but the menacing gleam in her eyes were telling everybody looking at her that she absolutely loved this weapon and that she meant business with it. Finally, she attached leather straps to it and shouldered it. "If you want to head out and teach me stuff, I'd be ready" A big smirk formed on her face as she got up and straightened her pleated skirt, then sat down again. "First, some tea, though"

A little bit perplexed by the other Japanese girl's appearance Makoto swirled her pistol around her finger and slipped it back into its holster hidden under her skirt. Quickly she also let down the rest of her guard and transformed back, back to her casual clothing. She raised both eyebrows at the Japanese girl's... let's say, unusual casual attire, but didn't say anything and just followed her. Quietly Makoto sat down where she got told to sit and stared at all of the assembled girls with her usual frown on her face. Oftentimes she had tried to get rid of this frown because it made her delinquent personality obvious to the eye, but she never really managed to do so. "I got sent here to, sort of, train my skills... I'm a very big rookie and my powers are merely a few weeks old", she explained before adding, "My name is Makoto Takai, by the way, head of the Takai-clan" A few seconds later, she just had to add: "You're way too trusting, aren't you?"

"Just go there and greet the other magical girls, she said..." Cursing under her breath a young girl walking down Rome's streets kicked a few stones lying in her way. Eyes wide open, she scanned the streets for any sign of what she was looking for. "It's supposed to be easy, damn it!" Underneath her skirt she touched her flintlock pistol to assure herself of its presence. She had modified all of her weapons to be able to load a lot more safely and faster than the actual historical weapons could, but she still used the same ammunition for all of them, making them a lot more dangerous than regular bullets. Finally, after a whole lot of more walking, Makoto arrived at the building described to her. Shrugging she began to enter the building that looked uncannily like an old warehouse, however she sensed something trying to stop her from marching into that house. "Is that what she called a Magic Barrier? Ah, fuck this, I'm going in" She quickly transformed into a magical girl to easily pass through that barrier. "Oi, anyone in here?", she called out pointing her gun in front of her. "I was told this is a hideout for magical girls, am I right?"

Makoto Takai

Name: Makoto Takai Screen name: No Errornet account at the current moment Age: 14 Appearance: When she is in her magical girl form, she wears a similar yellow-black pleated skirt, but she also wears pouches all over the place as well as several metal guards and back-holsters for 3 guns and a bow. Her hair also gets blue highlights at the tips. Nationality: Japan Personality: Makoto is extremely brash and almost tomboyish as well as pretty brazen while also being very physical, aka almost violent. With her words she is oftentimes painfully frank causing her to unintentionally hurt people with what she is saying. However, she is very bold and will never back out of any fight, no matter how much the odds are stacked against her. As well as that, she is very dependable and will not abandon her comrades and friends even if it should cost her own life. Although her flaws are pretty obvious and probably quite annoying for other people, her jokes and her normally fun attitude make up for it. And her cheeky side is mostly not harmful and also generally fun to spectate. Biography: The Takai family was a Yakuza-Clan, the Japanese Mafia, so Makoto grew up wielding all kinds of weapons and honing her physical abilities. At the age of 11, her father proudly presented her with the family heirloom, an old Japanese arquebuse, a Tanegashima, engraved with their clan symbol. This meant a lot for Makoto. For once, it meant, her parents had given up to produce a male heir, secondly they had made her the official heir of the Takai-Clan. So Makoto honed her gunnery skills, especially with weapons from the 18th and 19th century. On her 14th birthday, her Yakuza-mates gifted her a Pattern 1853 Enfield rifled musket on which she practiced day and night from now on with her new weapon so she could use it as some kind of sniper weapon. A bit later that year, her parents decided to take Makoto with them to a meeting with a Mafia-group they tried to have dealings with. However, upon landing on a private air strip north of Naples, her family got attacked by a group of mercenaries. Makoto had to watch as her entire family and all her friends got gunned down on the landing strip. The bullets that hit her, weren't lethal. Just as the mercs wanted to finish her off, a magical girl saved her and awakened her powers as magical girl herself. After experiencing the real horror of crime, Makoto decided to head into Rome to train how to be a magical girl, this time, to help people. Experience Level: Greenhorn Skills: Gunnery: Makoto is extremely skilled with guns, all kinds of guns. From the standard pistol to the rocket launcher and even traditional longbows, there is no projectile weapon she isn't able to use, or if she has never encountered it before, she is able to learn how to use it efficiently very quickly. Athleticism: Despite her looks, Makoto is extremely durable and physically strong. She can handle herself in most hand-to-hand engagements and can jump pretty well. Music: Although her training schedule was packed full in her childhood, Makoto still had the time to learn to play the E-Guitar. She'd loved to have learned more musical instruments, but for that, she didn't have enough room. Nevertheless, she enjoys listening to a lot of music in her downtime. Historical Knowledge: Even though her looks deceive, Makoto is the go-to person for questions of historical nature. She can tell you almost anything about history one can think of and if she doesn't know the answer to a given question, she will quickly come back to you with the correct one and have studied that new knowledge by hard. Magical Power: At this point in time, Makoto has no magical abilities. She currently relies on her skills with the gun to defeat her enemies.
