Main Character Civilian Information:

Name: Kissuiko En'youmo
Meaning: ocean's pure child
Nicknames: Kis
Sex: female
Age: 23
Birthday: April 18th
Blood Type: O
Family members: Kis comes from an average family whose lives revolve around the sea and sand of the Terran beaches. at least, the ones on a small series of as-yet untainted islands in the Pacific. Her father owns a surf shop, while her mother is a columnist for a local environmental magazine. Her two older brothers work at their dad's shop (when they're not out surfing, of course).

Physical description

Kis's body is toned from years of keeping up with her active family as well as her love of the outdoors. Standing at 5'8" and weighing 150 lbs, she's athletically fit while still maintaining a somewhat feminine figure. Long legs, wide hips, flat stomach. one might have considered her for an extra in a beach party movie next to Frankie and Annette. Her dark blonde hair is streaked with natural honeyed highlights, her two foot long tresses usually pulled back with a bandanna and knotted up with some sort of ponytail holder. Her face is oval-shaped, with a slightly rounded chin and a snub nose. Blue-green eyes flecked with gold showcase an expression of constant mischief and a dimple in her left cheek shows when she smiles. Kis's complexion is one of a perpetual cinnamon tan, sun-kissed with freckles dancing across her nose and cheeks. She keeps her fingernails short and devoid of polish, but finds the time to keep her toenails painted some bright shade of purple, blue, or green.

Kis's sense of fashion is classic surfer girl. If she had her way, she'd live in a bikini top and cutoffs, with flip-flops necessary only to go into the local convenience store. Being an officer in the Lunar Navy, Kis generally wears the formal uniforms and suits required while on base or out on assignment. She can be quite elegant in the most formal of situations, and has spent a fair amount of her officer's salary on a few choice designer dresses. Kis sports three sets of piercings in her ears, as well as a small silver hoop in her right eyebrow.

Emotional description:

Party girl, surfer chick, and a crack shot with her twin hydroplasma revolvers, Kis embodies many different personas. Outspoken, she is not one to keep her opinions to herself. Whether impressed or offended, Kis will be the first to say something about the situation. She possesses an impatient streak, and does have a problem waiting for indecisive people. It's not out of character for her to simply bulldoze over someone who can't make up his or her mind, especially if it's a situation about which Kis feels very strongly; however, she is not one to override the "chain of command' that she holds in fairly high esteem. At the same time, she possesses a persuasive nature that does help her to get her way... some of the time.

A natural leader, Kis is the first to approach a problem and immediately implement a solution. She'll draft out a general idea, filling in the details as she explains her plan and recruits people to help her. Even if she has to go on her own to carry out her agenda, she'll do it with the same spirit and passion as if she was leading an army to complete the exact same task. She's very dominating, and will use any means necessary to bring others to her side in an argument.

Under pressure, Kis is all business. This assumes that everything is going as planned according to her schedule. If something occurs to throw things off course, Kis can usually regain her composure and carry on. Unfortunately, when this happens repeatedly, she can become quite flustered and verbally upset. She can improvise in most cases, but she may not tell her friends/partners/comrades of her new plan until she's six steps ahead. Kis's patience will wane as the stress increases, which may lead to a verbal blowout at an inopportune moment.

Kis doesn't have an inferiority complex; quite the opposite, she's very sure of herself and, for the most part, likes herself and her qualities very much. She's not one to flaunt her attributes, she simply has confidence and it shows. Still, she can only deal with failure for so long. If she has given what she sees as her best attempt at a task and the result is only mediocre, she will simply shrug it off and not waste her time any further.

Finally, Kis leads a very vibrant life. She enjoys sampling new experiences, the crazier the better. Bungee jumping, parasailing, skydiving... just give her the chance and she'll try it. She can party with the best of them, and is an outrageous flirt. Kis also has a love for the environment, evident in her dedication to wild animal rescue and beach education back at her parents' resort back on Earth.

Who are you?

"Kis. Nice to meet you. C'mon, sit down. Oh, sorry. I really should do the formal introduction. Captain Kissuiko En'youmo, First Officer of the SLS Prometheus.' Gah, saying just, 'Kis,' is so much simpler. I mean, do I look like anyone they'd put in charge? Not at first glance, true. The main thing is, though, that I get the job done. You'll never have to ask me twice, 'cause you know I wouldn't be here if they didn't trust me. Got time for some target practice?"

Hobbies: Kis enjoys surfing, boogie boarding, and anything else beach-related, with the exception of simple sunbathing. She can't cook to save her life, so she's become quite the restaurant connoisseur. She's fond of reggae music as well as funk, and both can be found blaring out of her headphones at any given time.

Friends: Any one and everyone. Kissuiko is outgoing and charming, and known to pal around with people at the gym, in the spaceport, and especially at the firing range. She has a good solid working relationship with her commanding officer, who gets referred to as "Miss Sarah, ma'am" when they're not on the bridge. She's extremely friendly with Aisha Harris, aka Jackal, and the two paired are the most verbally vicious team on the entire ship.

Love interest: None at the moment... she hasn't been able to find the right girl, yet.

History

Born to relatively normal parents in a relatively normal home, Kis grew up with two rough and tumble brothers who liked nothing more than to bring their little sister out to the beach with them and set her on a surfboard. The chubby cheeked toddler in the pink polka dotted bikini soon grew to an outspoken and fun-loving young girl who liked nothing more than to chase her brothers out into the surf, and still come up laughing when the waves knocked her over.

Kissuiko's Senshi abilities came to light at an early age. At nine years old, she and her brothers had spent the day among the waves, taking advantage of a faraway storm. Her eldest brother lost his footing and got sucked underneath a massive wall of water. Panicked, Kis ran towards the ocean, the water receding as her feet touched the surf. In seconds, she was standing next to her older brother, tugging at him to get up. A wall of water on three sides, the little girl calmly walked back to her other sibling, who merely stood in awe of his little sister's abilities.

Kis followed a standard Senshi training at the Academy, followed by an enlistment in the Lunar Navy upon graduation. She rose to the rank of Lieutenant Commander, putting in her time on weapons detail on a number of light cruisers and destroyers. During what had been described as a simple 'routine' patrol in the Alpha Zone, she got acquainted with her commanding officer, Commodore Ignatius. Despite recommendations that she put in for command of a smaller ship, Kissuiko staunchly refused and instead took another assignment as a tactical officer on board the SLS Siren. The cruiser spent much of its time in drydock due to a near-home sabotage attempt, leaving Kis antsy and wanting to travel again. Besides, she'd kept up with the news of what was going on with the Sabaat system, and not being there was tearing her apart. Putting in for a transfer, she waited several months before learning that she'd been reassigned as first officer to her former commanding officer. There hasn't been a dull moment yet on board the SLS Prometheus, and Kis hopes that things stay that way.

Main Character Warrior Information

Name: Sailor Ryujin
Affiliation: Golden Millennium
Symbol: water dragon rising from waves

Physical description: Ryujin's fuku colors are black and indigo, complemented by the usual white of the normal Senshi fuku. The sailor collar and skirt are in indigo, while the bow on the front and the choker are black. The top is white, ending just below the ribcage to show off Ryujin's toned stomach. White gloves end at the elbow, edged with a wide black stripe. White boots with an inch heel are knee high and also have the same wide black stripe. While in Senshi form, Ryujin's hair is braided about the crown in a sort of circlet, the rest falling down her back. Her tiara is platinum, the oval a polished piece of mother of pearl.

Transformation: Kis throws her henshin wand into the air and yells, "Dragon of the tides, bring forth Ryujin!" The wand bursts into a spray of sea foam, raining down upon her body and engulfing her in a whirling, churning column of water. At the same time, a black sea dragon winds its way around the water column, slowly disappearing into the crest of the waves. A burst of light breaks from the center of the column, and the waves abruptly part, reforming the henshin wand in Ryujin's raised right hand.

Powers

Powers of the Tides (two power slots): Ryujin's henshin wand bears a ring of stone on either end. A polished piece of obsidian wraps around the bottom, while a ring of mother of pearl encircles the top. These two stones allow her to summon a wave of water no greater than twenty square feet, with a depth of no more than two feet. The wave may be used to attack an enemy or act as a shield. To summon the water, Ryujin points the bottom of the henshin wand at the ground and yells, "Ooshio!" (Ooshio is Japanese for "flood tide.") Summoning the water takes a total of fifteen seconds, and any distraction in that time can cause her to lose the wall completely. It takes no extra movement to keep the wall stationary; however, to move the wall, she must direct the top of the wand towards her target. This requires complete concentration, and any distraction will cause her to lose control over the wave. To properly end the wave, Ryujin must point the top of the henshin wand at the wave and yell, "Hikishio!" (Hikishio translates to "ebb tide.") This allows the wave to be returned without additionally taxing Ryujin's energy.

Ryujin can maintain either wave for a maximum of five minutes before it dissipates. If she properly returns the wave, she must only rest for half an hour before summoning the wave again. If the wave falters through distraction or prolonged use, then she must wait three hours before using this ability.

As a simple wall of water, the wave can deflect some projectile attacks, but will let smaller denser objects through (e.g. bullets, throwing stars, arrows aimed at a direct angle). It is most effective against large scale attacks that spread themselves over a wide surface area, notably fire and earth elemental attacks. Sonic and electrical attacks may help or hinder the wall, depending upon how they are aimed and how potent they are. The wave itself can be blocked by physical barriers and magic attacks. A more potent fire or wind attack would send it off course if moving, and weaken it considerably if stationary. As a moving wave, Ryujin can maneuver the wave a maximum distance of thirty feet from where she stands. If she is standing still and moving the wave, she can move it at a rate of five feet per second. If she is moving while the wave is in motion, the wave's speed is reduced to three feet per second. Of course, losing control of the wave means that a massive wall of water will collapse at the point of loss, and any momentum that it possesses will carry through. So, if Ryujin is drawing the wave back and is distracted, it's highly probable that the wave will come crashing down upon her and her teammates. The most that the water would do (assuming it's not electrically charged or carrying debris) is knock Ryujin down and soak her to the skin.

Sadly, this lovely ability can't be used in the TPA. It's rather spectacular on the ground, though.

Tidal Dragon Strike: To summon this power, Ryujin pumps her right fist into the air, screaming, "Tidal Dragon Strike!" A font of water shoots up behind her, taking the form of a massive snake-like water dragon no greater than ten feet in length. With her other hand, Ryujin can direct this attack at a target at a distance of no more than twenty feet away. As long as her left hand remains pointed at the target, then the dragon will most likely hit its mark; however, if Ryujin is distracted, the dragon may veer off course. The effect of the dragon hitting its target is that of a fire hose turned on full blast, and can conceivably knock a person unconscious. The dragon may be destroyed by magic attacks, and fire attacks will send it off course. Any electrical attack will merely supercharge this dragon, and could cause it to be more destructive. Ryujin may summon this attack once every four hours; it is a sort of desperation attack, and if she attempts to summon the dragon twice in a four hour time period, she will collapse unconscious and revert to civilian form, requiring a full day's rest.

This is a TPA-ready attack, with Ryujin able to create the semblance of an intergalactic water dragon that is composed of electrically supercharged plasma. Larger ships suffering no previous damage may find electric circuits temporarily offline. Ships having damage may experience ruptured plasma weapons, severe hull damage, and cloaking device malfunction. Smaller ships, well. they'll suffer as much as a moderately damaged large ship.

Marksmanship: She's good. Damn good. 95% accuracy in the heat of battle, and 98% on the target range.

Weapons: Twin hydroplasma revolvers. Each allows for rapid fire of eighteen superheated fluid pulses before requiring a recharge cycle of an hour. The pulses can travel a range of twenty meters, and do not work in extremely cold environments.

Items:
Aside from her henshin wand, a medkit, an extra hooded sweatshirt, a one pound bag of M&Ms, and backup ammunition. A girl can't be too prepared, y'know?.

Strengths:
Quick, decisive, and determined, Kis is excellent in a tight situation. She can assess a situation and propose a solution in a relatively short period of time. In addition, she is quite physically fit and can hold her own in a fistfight. She's unafraid to charge into new situations, and hesitation, if any, is minimal. She recognizes the chain of command, so she'll always bow to her commanding officer. As for everyone else.

Weaknesses:
Kis is headstrong to a fault, and doesn't take other people's suggestions to heart if she has an idea of her own. The only person's authority she'll readily recognize is Commodore Ignatius, and anyone above her. Other starship captains, well. unless Kis is on their ships, good luck. She often acts first and thinks later, having little regard for anyone but herself. And finally. Kis has no tact. None whatsoever.

Ways of Getting Your A$$ Beaten:
1) Distract her during her Powers of the Tides summoning. Without a great deal of concentration, the wall simply falls apart.
2) Take her henshin wand. Without it, she has only one power.
3) As stated, her revolvers do not work in cold environments. Really cold environments will make her water attacks sluggish.
4) She is relatively weak against fire attacks.
5) Considering her temperament, the right application of psionics and telepathy could prove detrimental. She is rather impulsive.

Slogan:
"It's like dropping a hair dryer in the bathtub. Zap."
