Mayu Takamori

Mayu was abandoned the same day she was born to rot in an orphanage for girls. The caretaker was a cruel woman who took the child's knack for rebellion poorly and displayed her unhappiness daily. She and a group of like minded children managed to escape the inevitable end of the establishment due to deplorable conditions and took to the streets of Tokyo where all but she avoided succumbing to the elements. One day she was found by an esteemed officer of the law by the name Kaiyo Takamori. He took her in once he discovered that she had no where to call her home and no one to consider guardian. Soon she joined the academy and attained her dream of becoming an officer like her father.

This was where she met her partner Rina Suzuka for whom she immediately developed a distaste for and rest assured the feeling was mutual.

Now a days as the commissioner she finds herself tending to tedious paperwork rather than on the field. Although now and then she does ensure the completion of duties that for one reason or the other can not be put onto the record.

Mayu trusts these tasks at times with a frustrating yet reliable special class investigator Yanagi Akumu.

## Background

**2016**

On the night of the exposure Mayu and Rina were sent to provide as much damage control as was possible for the citizens only to walk into a hell they were unprepared to endure. During a furious battle Mayu lost her left leg to a monster called 'Kami' and by the end of the outbreak she forever possessed a fervent hatred for his kind and was notified of her Kaiyo's death.

**2018**

Time moved quickly after the tragedy of that fateful day making way for a new beginning. The authorities vested in the world instated The Commission Of Counter Ghoul which would allow human kind to finally fight back. Weapons were created such as Quinque and became essential for the CCG officers to properly take back the security of the people. Mayu found herself given the position of commissioner rather swiftly due to recommendation and capability and though the days had been dark something good came of the horror. She had found a friend in Rina whom she faced the devils with and the two became virtually inseparable.

## Personality

Mayu has a fiercely hot temper made known by various things breaking and a voice loud enough to overshadow the music in an elevator. She is demanding and powerful with a leer capable of stopping a charging rhino in it's tracks. She does not accept anything less than perfection of her officers. There is a loathing that is burning inside of her for ghoulkind.

Be it friend or foe none are safe from her tenacity when the stakes become impossible. Although coarse and abrasive she is not by any means ignorant. Mayu is the type to accomplish a goal by any means necessary, in the past going so far to sacrifice herself in order to complete a mission. However every risk is calculated, and Mayu will spend time strategizing before making any decision. She is so careful in fact, as to have a contingency plan in place for any event in which an investigator goes rouge which will end inevitably in the offender's death.

Exclusively in times of importance Takamori is shown to become eerily calm, forgoing her usual tenacious temper for a more professional demeanor.

Despite her mean expression, and views on success, she does value human life, and considers everyone in the CCG to be her personal responsibility. Caring deeply for each one, even if the little idiots piss her off to no degree.

## Appearance

Mayu's attire consists of high quality material crafted into stylish suits and jackets. Generally she presents herself of the brightest esteem with a sharpened heel that echoes and tends to in most cases alarm anyone near by of her approach. She sticks to dark hues such as grey,black or navy blue and occasionally a bit of red. Hair tied up into a tail cover her shoulders and torso black with natural curl. The remainder is tightly held back and frozen by industrial spray leaving no room for strands or stray locks to spring out of place. Additionally, she has obsidian eyes with a tinge of green that seem to bore into the souls of those she despises long term or momentarily.

During the bout with the first ghouls Mayu lost her left leg. It was replaced by a prosthetic created by Kinu Kin and later developed into one of the first Quinque prototypes by 'Lilly'. It has the ability to extend no more than ten feet and retract no less than six. Although she is aware that Kinu is a ghoul she turns a blind eye because she helped her in her hour of great need.

## Arsenal

**WEAPONRY**

Grappling Hook,Cell Phone with right hip holster, Karambit (Left thigh under
clothing.) If there are any other weaponry around her person she will utilize them with perfected skill including blades. At times a lamp can become a deadly weapon in her capable hands. Pin grenades both flash and explosive.

Mayu is immensely skilled in hand-to-hand combat and various forms of weaponry, ranging from modern firearms including handguns, sniper rifles and crossbows, to melee weapons such as knives. Despite her proficiency, Mayu seems to favor small arms weapons such as handguns and machine pistols, which she wields with deadly proficiency and precision, able to strike down targets from alarming distances.

She is also superbly athletic. She's among the most, if not the most, agile of all the CCG , featuring acrobatic capabilities, speed, and reflexes that far exceed many others, which enables her to perform a variety of flips, rolls, cartwheels, and parkour maneuvers with extreme precision and efficiency. She's able to perform muscle ups with little to no effort, and she possesses incredible leg strength which she utilizes in combat and environment traversal, such as the various flips, kicks, grapples, and submissions used when fighting enemies, or jumps, rolls, handsprings, and pull-ups when climbing or traversing.

When she was in the ambulance during the outbreak already having lost her leg, another ghoul that had accompanied Kami but done nothing to harm either she or Rina had managed to come along with the intentions to help them. Using her Kagune she sealed the wound long enough and rebuilt some skin in order to ensure Mayu's stabilization until proper care could be given to her once they arrived at the hospital. Although she utilized RC cells which were extraordinarily contagious when implemented biologically. Kurai was careful to allow barely any of it to tend to Takamori's wound however due to this she is impervious to bullets and knives without quinque properties. Her skin is extremely durable.

**QUINQUE**

It is a cross bow developed with an Ukaku specimen. The bolts are crafted with the shards expelled by an Ukaku's traditional 'wing' and possess three specific traits. When they are fired they track RC in a ghoul's biological system which makes for an almost certain shot. Furthermore, when the bolt hits it's mark it breaks apart into twenty serrated pieces intended to lacerate the remains of an opponent. Additionally, each bolt is susceptible to electrocution provided by the bow itself with the touch of a button and when it is launched it leaves in it's wake an explosion of mass proportion capable of leveling a small building and obliterating any trace of an enemy.
