INFO/PERMISSIONS

☄ First Impressions ♚ VISUAL: 1 2 3 4 5 - 22, 5'6", black hair with blue streaks and brown eyes. Stays clean and polished. ♚ FASHION: Dresses like a tomboy. Hates nail polish and lipstick, prefers comfortable clothes and tight combat boots. ♚ DEMEANOUR: Mako holds herself like a soldier, with spine straight and shoulders back. She's perpetually professional and respectful, and tries to keep her emotions in check, to varying levels of success. ♚ SOUND: Mako is Japanese, and though she speaks both English and Japanese fluently, she does have an accent. She also speaks bits and pieces of Mandarin. ♚ SCENT: Nothing specific! She never wears perfume. ♚ MENTAL INFORMATION: Mako is a Jaeger pilot, which means she's Drifted with Raleigh Becket. Essentially, the two have shared each others' memories, emotions and thoughts, and so those are still rattling around in her head. She also has a lingering connection with him, so the two can still pick up on one another's feelings. She has no mental shielding or blocks, but there's two lifetimes worth of trauma and grief tied up in her head. ♚ MAGICAL INFORMATION: n/a ☄ OOC ♚ CANON POINT: At the end of Pacific Rim, before Raleigh's pod shows up. ♚ BACKTAGGING: Always up for it! If it's very time sensitive, though, I'll likely ask for a summary of where things are going so nothing has to get retconned. ♚ FOURTHWALLING: No thanks! ♚ PHYSICAL AFFECTION: Mako isn't incredibly touchy-feely. Her reactions will vary depending on the cr. ♚ PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: Go for it! Mako is trained in most forms of combat from her time in the Jaeger Academy, but doesn't have any special powers. ♚ RELATIONSHIPS: Always down for it, but Mako's a slow burn kind of character! ♚ JUST A NOTE: I'm never going to update Mako to Uprising (probably for obvious reasons), but I'm always down to tag Uprising characters!

DOSSIER

DOSSIER NAME: Mako Mori AGE: 22 (April 23, 2003) ACADEMY: 2021 STRIKE TEAM: Hong Kong Shatterdome COMMANDING OFFICER: Marshal Stacker Pentecost Marshal Hercules Hansen RANK: PPDC Ranger RANGER NO.: R-MMAK_204.19-V OCCUPATION: J-Tech Officer, Head of Mark III Restoration Project, Jaeger Pilot JAEGER: Gipsy Danger PARTNER: Raleigh Becket Born April 23, 2003. Father Masao Mori, swordmaker. Mother Sumako Mori. Only child. Grew up in Tanegashima in a small village. First trip to Tokyo, when her father required treatment for cancer, coincided with attack of kaiju Onibaba, in which both of her parents died. She was close witness to the end of the battle between Onibaba and Coyote Tango. Mori was orphaned and Coyote Tango’s pilot, Stacker Pentecost, took an interest in her. Pentecost adopted Mori and saw her put through school. He is ambivalent about her choice to join the Jaeger program, acknowledging her mechanical and engineering skills but concerned that her psychological scars will destabilize any neural handshake she might enter. Mori is emotionally invested in becoming a pilot—she wishes to avenge her parents and prove her worth due to the common assumption that she is favored by Pentecost. She feels burdened by these motivations, and frustrated because her only path toward redeeming herself is via a combat role in Gipsy Danger. PPDC psychological staff suggest that while Pentecost may be correct about Mori’s emotional fragility, her skill set suits her to a Conn-Pod more than a repair bay. As always, however, psychological staff’s role in Jaeger assignments is advisory only. Notes: Mori has been the technical lead on the Mark III Restoration Project that has restored Gipsy Danger to combat readiness.
