Kaigan, Youenko - Sailor Mars

[Administration]

Oh baby, don't even try
But you want someone, to take your soul
Maybe I lift you a little bit higher

I've got the fire

Character Name: Kaigan Youenko
Senshi Name: Sailor Mars
Age: 17
Birthdate: November 11th

Personality:Youenko is self serving and determined, and does a good job of furthering herself through the two. She has a rigid set of plans which she works hard to achieve. Youenko is a business woman at heart: driven, sharp and distant, but she loves her parents and secretly longs for their approval. She is extremely money minded, with a taste for the finer things in life.

Youenko considers her looks to be her greatest asset, and works to play them up to her greatest advantage. She has large a large collection of top-quality, name-brand cosmetics which Youenko prides herself in being able to use like a pro. She enjoys doing other people's make up too, but is always better at things which involve HER.
Confidence in her own appearance makes Youenko prone to flirting, with any and everyone. It isn't so much that she's actively pursuing a relationship, Youenko certainly isn't ready to be tied down, but she honestly seems to have forgotten how not to flirt. Its her natural interaction, and is often baffled when called on it.

However, as Youenko matures she's beginning to see how all the walls she's put up, as well as the pedestal she's placed herself upon, have pushed people away from her. She has few close friends and is only just becoming aware of how lonely she really is. Though she keeps her "holier than thou" front up among her teammates, Youenko secretly hopes her initiation into the Sailor Team will help her to let a few people in and start making real friends.

Physical Appearance:
Youenko has a silky mop of dark, auburn hair that hangs in messy curls down to her collarbone. She usually wears it pulled back off her face in a headband. Though average in height, Youenko is heavier than the Japanese ideal, but her loathing for her belly-rolls of fat is offset by her pride in her large breasts and curvy hips.
Youenko's slate-grey eyes are wide (horizontally) and narrow (vertically), with low, sleepy-looking lids that give her a perpetual look of bemusement. Her lips are wide and flat, and her nose is a little too small for the rest of her features. Her ears, on the other hand, are rather large and she covers them with her hair.
Overall, she is rather pretty, though not nearly as much as she thinks...

Youenko goes for a mature, sexy look. She loves blazers or any business-like little jackets, buttoned up tight and often over a low shirt. She's famous for her love of push-up bras (hence her nickname). Youenko wears her skirts short and refuses to wear pants, ever. When it gets cold, she'll add thigh-high wool stockings to keep her legs from freezing. Youenko's look tells people to look at her, to admire, but not to touch. It typically boarders on "trashy" but sometimes goes way over the line.
Her favourite colours to wear are sultry red, electric blue and charcoal gray.

At school, Youenko always wears her uniform blazer, no matter what the weather. This is in part because the jacket is quite stylish, sharp crisp lapels and well tailored, but partly because it both amplifies her cleavage and covers her hiked-up and belted skirt (the many sharp pleats are difficult to roll). Despite being against dress code, Youenko always makes a point of wearing socks with designer symbols and heeled shoes that amplify the curves of her legs.

Strengths: Youenko is intelligent, especially with numbers and especially when those numbers are money. She Works hard and gets excellent grades.
Youenko is very driven and passionate, she works hard and takes pride in her achievements.
The combination of these two things makes Youenko very confident and self assured.
Youenko is good at removing herself from situations that don't affect her, so she's often completely unbiased and really very fair. She can see things from others point of view and understands it well. She just doesn't really care about it.
Weaknesses: Youenko is self centered, egotistic, selfish. Her concerns come first... then her trivial matters... then whatever anybody else cares about. She can also be simply mean, uncaring and cold.
Youenko works hard, but if she doesn't care about something, she'll simply not bother. She can be unbearably childish at times.
Youenko also has a lot of deep rage which she doesn't often bother to repress. She can be extremely violent without realizing, or caring. Her biggest flaw is her lack of empathy. Years of placing herself on a pedistal and not caring about the people below has forced Youenko into a lonely state of seclusion, which she no longer knows how to get out of.
Habits: Youenko's primary habit is her flirting and bragging, which can make her somewhat unbearable. She is also quite fastidious about germs and uses a lot of disinfectants, especially with her make up. She on't tough things that she thinks will make her hands sticky, but is far from obsessive. She does enjoy touching people and being touched, but mostly worries about germs which could contaminate her appearance.
Dreams: Youenko dreams of running her own stylish hostess club in the heart of luxurious Ginza. She loves the idea of leading a team of clever, beutiful women and raking in the cash simply for being adored. She plans to start working as a hostess as soon as someone will believe that she's twenty, and expects to quickly climb her way up the ladder.
Background: Youenko grew up with her father and mother in a tidy little apartment in the Aoiyama. Her father, Kento, was a fair bit older than her mother, Rika, but quite desperately in love with her. Rika was pale and lithe, classically beautiful, and attracted a lot of male attention. The young woman had a tendency to stray and, when Youenko was 9, finally left the family to follow a Portuguese man she'd been seeing. After a few years, Kento married his tough, business savvy coworker Marie, the polar opposite of his first wife. The pair had a little girl named Chiyoko and have all moved into a narrow, two story house in Ebisu.
Youenko adores her somewhat timid, yet stalwart father, but doesn't really see him as an authority figure. She treats him more like one would treat a little brother, or a senile grandfather. She goes through the motions of listening and nodding her head, before giving him a condescending pat and going off to do her own thing.
She has a lot of respect for his tough-as-nails young wife, though the woman's drive for money and power rivals her own. Youenko strives to be the loving, intelligent person her father is, but works harder to be like her ambitious step-mother.
Marie is the quintisential 'modern woman' of Japan, but still takes a lot of pride in her appearance. Not quite as pretty as Youenko or her mother, she knows how to work with make up. Passing this on to Youenko helped them bond when Youenko was more of a teeny-bopper.
Her natural mother, Youenko resents, for hopelessly flitting from one man to the next. Though Youenko herself is a flirt, its more calculated and self-serving than actively seeking a partner. She isn't hurting anyone, she thinks, at least not intentionally.
Watching her step mother work has taught Youenko how much she can achieve, but secretly she feels she has a lot more chances to succed. Rather than work hard for long days after days, Youenko seeks to find work in the seductive, elegant nightlife of Ginza, and aspires to rise as a hostess, then run her own cabaret club.
Chiyoko is a very silly little girl who helps keep Youenko grounded by bringing out the childishness with her. Chiyoko makes sure that Youenko always finds time to play with her, usually drawing or painting. Youenko's biggest problem with the child is her perpetually running nose, and less than flattering nickname for her. "Anko" isn't meant to be an insult, but Chiyoko is three and thinks poop is hilarious. Youenko sees her half-sister as true blood, correcting anyone who says other wise.
Youenko works reasonably hard at school and juggles a secret part time job. She works at a Maid Cafe in Akihabara four evenings a week. She loves her job, but knows she would get in serious trouble at school if anyone found out, so doesn't brag as much as she'd like about the money she makes.

The Senshi Side of Life

Elemental Power: Fire
Uniform Description: Sailor Mars wears a simple white bodysuit with a cherry-red skirt and collar. Her gloves are tight, white and elbow length with bands in the same cherry red. On her breast and small of her back are neat, violet bows. The one on the front is adorned with a glossy, heart-shaped red bow.
On her forehead, she wears a v-shaped gold tiara with a red, oval jewel at the point of the 'v'.
On her feet, Sailor Mars wears a stylish pair of heeled boots, laced up on the outer sides to just bellow her knees. The toes come to a flattened point.

Tansformation: Youenko raises her pen and calls "Mars power, make up!"
Streams of flame rush from the wand, binding tightly to her body. In a single flash of golden light she is clothed. A second ring of fire circles her head, creating her golden tiara. She juts out her hip with and wink and slides her feet slightly apart. One hand rests on the protruding hip, while the other forms a gun which points up, then out.

Attack Name: Mars Fiery Embrace
Description of Attack: Sailor Mars closes her eyes and holds her arms in front of her, bent at the elbow with open hands. A ball of flame ignites in each hand and her eyes open as a it thins and extends into a rope of flame, which runs down each arm. She grabs her opponent with one hand (or both for more damage) and lets the fire wrap around them. The closer she can get and more contact she can make, the more potent the attack, so Sailor Mars attempts to pull her opponent into a full embrace.

This attack deals a lot of damage over an extended time. If properly placed, the fire can bind the enemy, preventing movement or further attacks. The damage is cut short, though, if the enemy escapes or the fire extinguished. Mars must be in close range in order to use it.

Roleplaying Sample:
Though the sky was a smoggy grey, Youenko could see the sun try and force its way through the clouds and warm the crowds who wandered the busy streets of Shibuya. She held her head high while subtly examining the looks that the other girls were both wearing, and giving to her. With a smirk, Youenko adjusted the frills of the cherry-red blouse that was currently framing her ample curves.
As she passed the glossy windows of a coffee shop, though, Youenko had to pause. She had spent enough time primping in the bathroom, choosing and applying each cosmetic carefully until her little sister had started to bang on the bathroom door and beg to be allowed to use the toilet. Despite her best efforts, the soft skin beneath her eye remained dark and puffy. Her tumultuous sleep the night before was obvious.
Damn nightmares. It was bad enough their lectures of doom and gloom left her with migraines, but did they have to mess with her pretty face? Youenko heaved a dramatic sigh of dismay and turned from the reflective window. As she did, she caught a pair of foreigners leering and mumbling words she did not recognize. She grinned at them sweetly and marched way with pride.
Those stupid nightmares, urging her along and warning her to be careful were ridiculous, Youenko decided. She was just fine.
