Beast

Toshiko would be considered quite attractive by most, both in her home country and abroad. Short, but with a well proportioned body, Toshiko's desire for fitness is obvious in her toned frame, most noticeable in her core and back. Her skin is fairly pale, but not to an unhealthy degree, she simply doesn't tan though. Her hair is jet black varying in length, often having brightly colored dye in certain areas, the colors change regularly. Her eyes take somewhat after her father, being an exceptionally dark blue that almost looks purple, in the right light.

One of the most noticeable features on her body though is her left arm, which from just below the shoulder has been replaced with a prosthetic. The standard model she wears is a very natural looking arm, though she is able to give it changing and varying tattoos depending upon her mood.

They can even be animated given the non-flesh nature of the arm. She has a second arm that she uses for racing when it is permitted, far more utilitarian in design it barely looks like it is a human hand at the end, instead it has small manipulators and metal prongs that allow her to press commands on her ship's control surfaces with far more speed and accuracy than what normally might be possible for even her unnatural reflexes.

## **Skills/Hobbies:**

`**High Speed, Low Drag:**` Toshiko's reflexes and the speed at which she processes information are within the very highest percentile of not only humans but most species. While others might flail after a loose piece of paper in a breeze she just catches it. Though she won't be dodging bullets, she is able to make snap reactions and decisions with efficacy that most would need ingrained muscle memory and years of training to pull off at the same level.

`**Mach 5 With your hair on Fire:**` Toshiko has been a racer since she could run a sprint. She has devoted her whole self to become the most supreme racing pilot in history. She pushes her machines and her body to the utmost limit, but she isn't foolish, she won't push them to break. Still, her style of racing has been called reckless before, and more than a few league rules have been written because of her. Including the rule that "....intentionally making maneuvers that will cause a loss of consciousness of any kind will disqualify a pilot from the race"

`**Engineering, Report:**` In her effort to become the best pilot in the galaxy, Toshiko spends a great deal of time researching and understanding the latest in aviation engineering. She even helped to build a significant portion of her most recent racing ship. This knowledge is primarily focused around the smaller craft of her trade, but for certain things, she is able to apply this knowledge to heavier ships.

`**Unce:**` Though she doesn't take too much time off, Toshiko does enjoy going to dance clubs and other high-energy bars that have a dancing area. This is also where she tends to pick up the majority of her very short flings. `Hear the`

`**Highway Scream:**` Though she made her name in piloting racing craft, she also has a love for more standard automotive motorsports. She no longer competes in road races, but she still rents ground vehicles for driving around when she has the time and desire.

## **Personality:**

Toshiko is competitive, almost to an unhealthy level. She will throw herself into challenges and trials as if she's got ten lives yet to live after this one. Toshiko isn't suicidal, of course, but if there's a leaderboard, figurative or literal; She's going to be at the top of it if she can. It's this drive for excellence that has made her often come off as self-centered, blunt, intense, and even arrogant.

However, in a non-competitive environment, she is fairly approachable. Though she isn’t going to be obviously friendly or give off an air that says ‘I want to be your friend’ she isn’t going to be turning people away with glares or dismissive gestures. She values input, even if it isn’t the most accurate or informed of decision.

Toshiko’s choice in hobby has made her excellent in exceptionally high-stress environments, enabling her to remain calm and focused even in high energy, exceptionally dynamic situations.
