CHARACTER INFOCharacter Name: Mako Mankanshoku
Character Canon: Kill la Kill
History: Link to her page on the Wiki
AU History: Mako Mankanshoku is the oldest daughter of a doctor in one of the poor, run down areas of Caldera-- the sort of places that people ignore and typically forget about in both times of economic prosperity and as a battle front. Though her family was so poor that they couldn't afford proper equipment for her father's back-alley clinic, or even any of the modernized technological conveniences for their home, they were quite happy with what they had. Their small home was cozy enough for all of them to sleep comfortably, they all had nice, clean clothes and full bellies from her mother's inexpensive, inventive, and quite tasteful culinary skills. Dinners were always a loud, boisterous affair that even the family pet, a Lilipup called Guts, took part in. And, although her father's clinic has had a small surge in business from the recent attacks and traffic from new parts of the world, it still wasn't substantial enough to significantly raise their stakes in the world.
But, that same influx of travellers from other parts of the world caught Mako's attention in a way that made even a flighty girl like her curious enough to hold onto an idea for a few moments. The curious question about where they were coming from floated into her mind and stayed there-- and she watched the people, growing more and more curious by the day. The stories she heard on the streets were engaging, and there was a spark in the eyes of some of those travellers that made her wonder if it was possible for her small family to be able to have just a little bit more...
With only the thought of helping her family driving her, Mako packed her few belongings together and set off on foot south toward Union, with pockets that were empty of all coins and only Guts by her side as companion and protector. Surely there had to be a chance for her family in that city in the south that she had heard so much about...
At least, she hoped there was.
Canon Personality: (We want to see how well you know your character’s personality. We expect at least four full paragraphs of information about them that encompasses a solid overview of their motivations, strengths, and weaknesses. This personality should be based on their original canon appearance.)
AU Deviation: (The nature of the AU is such that the character's personal history will be different, be it in simple or dramatic ways. Due to a much different upbringing, we expect there to be at least some variation, even if small. Spend at least one paragraph detailing in what ways the character differs from their canon incarnation.)
Canon Abilities: (Please list their abilities, be they mundane and supernatural. This includes items of power such as giant robots or magic weapons, and what they can do.)
Enlightened Abilities: Pancham Shifter
Starter Pokémon: A Torchic called Birdie and a Lilipup called Guts
Notes/Special Considerations: If the Lilipup isn't acceptable, I can change that-- it simply looks like the best pokemon stand-in for the pet her family has in canon, and it is listed as an Ultra Common on the world map page.
SAMPLES
(NOTE: You may link a previous entry or thread, including testrun or musebox threads (but NOT Dear Mun), for one or both samples. However, we want to see the character in the setting of Brave New World and specifically in their AU for at least one sample.)
First-Person: (Also known as “commentspam.” This is from the character’s perspective and helps us determine how well you grasp your character’s voice. The minimum is six sentences. If we deem that there is not enough spoken or written dialogue, we will ask you for more. If you link an outside entry or thread, the minimum is 10 comments from your character in one thread/with one character.)
Third-Person: (This is written in prose from an independent narrator’s perspective. Here we want to see an insight into your character’s unspoken behavior -- actions, thoughts, their view of their world, etc. The minimum here is two paragraphs. If we do not get a good sense of your character’s behavior, we will ask for more. If you link an outside entry or thread, the minimum is 20 comments from your character in two threads/with two characters.)
If desired, you may answer some of the following questions in lieu of samples. The questions must be answered in-character, as if they are being asked by a teacher, mentor, or superior. If your character is lying in their answer, please identify it as a lie. The purpose of these is to get an idea of how you will play your character in lieu of the other sample options. 4 questions answered can be used as a substitute for a first-person sample, and 6 questions answered can be used as a substitute for a third-person sample. Both samples may be replaced in this manner. If the character doesn't say enough in their answer, we may request a few more answers for an acceptable sample.
-What would you say the role of Pokémon is in your life?
-What do you feel your role in your city is?
-What do you seek for humanity’s future?
-To what lengths would you go to rescue your allies if they were lost in the wilderness?
-What would you say the most important occupation is within your city?
-What does the story of the Savior mean to you?
-What aspects and traits do you respect most in your individual fellow man?
-What do you look for in the Pokémon with whom you bond?
-What do you think your Pokémon respect most about you?
-The gods of old have returned. How would you be judged if you were chosen as a representative of humanity?
-A human has attacked a wild Pokémon who retaliates in defense. How do you respond and whom do you defend?
-You are alone and bereft of your Pokémon allies; upon what strengths do you rely on to see yourself safely home?
-What would you say is your greatest duty, and why?
-You plunge into the depths of ruins of an ancient civilization. What is it that you seek from the past? Treasure, technology, wisdom?
-When encountering a rare and powerful Pokémon, what is most important? Researching it, bonding with it, or defeating it? Why?
-What do you do to ensure we never again awaken the wrath of the gods upon humanity?
-What strengths make you most qualified for your role within your city?
-In your eyes, what is absolutely unforgivable?
-No Enlightened chooses their abilities - and not all are Enlightened. What type abilities would you most desire to manifest and why?
-What area do you seek to explore? The peaceful forest, in search of new, previously overlooked discoveries; the uncharted caves, in search of the unknown; or the wildest of mountain terrain, in search of danger, adventure, and thrills?
