## Appearance

Mako has lovely rubber ducky yellow eyes, orange messy hair, and a creamy beige skin tone. He is wearing all aspects of the school uniform except for the tie.  Under his off white, unbuttoned school shirt, there is his favorite yellow T-shirt with a red smiley face with its tongue sticking out. His pants are rolled up slightly above his knees, revealing the leggings. On his head is a red bandanna, and on his feet are short boots that could be UGGS. I honestly don't know.

He isn’t muscular, but he isn’t scrawny. A normal male build I suppose. He can’t hide his emotions so his face is easy to read.

Mako does have one scar above his right eye. It has been there forever and people rarely notice it.

## Personality

Mako's that character in an action or superpower anime that has Brown hair and is completely average in ability. He isn't the smartest or strongest at anything. Amongst his five friends, he is the weakest (initially). Mako knows this and tries to make sure everyone else understands. People get the wrong idea a lot. because he is extremely lucky.

His recklessness gets the better of him sometimes. Because, of how much he cares about his friends, he tends to put himself in a lot of situations that would get him killed. He is easily spooked and intimidated by others but can snap out of it if it's for the sake of the people he cares about. Honestly, it doesn't even have to be people he knows for him to step in and help. If it turns out that he just gets beat up in the end, he's cool with it as the other person is fine. The only thing not average about him is his pain tolerance.

People who don't know him will describe his as loud, annoying, perverted, and a cry baby. His friends would agree with that, but they also know that he is selfless, he irrationally caring, and tries his best at everything he does even when he knows its not good enough,

On the less serious side, he is a goofball. He loves hanging out with his friends and doing things. No things in particular. As long as he's not doing nothing. He isn't easily embarrassed so nothings off limit in the name of fun.

## Background

This character, originally known as Kiato, is one of our favorites. We love all our characters, of course, this one is just in our top 5.

Kiato was deemed a silly character. He was loud, lacked restraint, lacked

    a sense of responsibility, and he was a pervert. Basic stuff. His name was changed to Mako because there was some heavy name confusion going on with us. We thought the purple one (Gaukpo) was named Kiato and the blue one (Kiato) was Gaukpo. This means Gaukpo (who is actually Kiato) is now Mako. We named him after the best anime character ever. Mako from Kill LA Kill.

Throughout all universes, his personality stayed the same. Just like all the other characters though, he had no background. He just existed. People just don't do that though, so ...

his background goes as followed.

He lived with his Grandparents and older brother.  His parents died. When Mako turned 13 his Grandparents left him and his brother to travel and do everything on their bucket list. They are a very adventurous couple. His brother at the time is 22 and fully capable of taking care of his little brother. That's technically true. He's definitely old enough to say the least. His personality is actually no different from Mako's. Because Mako is a mess who lacks responsibility, he needs support to keep him on a straight line. Takumi continues to encourage Mako to stay in school to the best of his ability. If it wasn't for Takumi, Mako would definitely be a dropout. Mako’s Aunt would come around occasionally to make him proper meals so he doesn't end up eating take out every night. Mr. T is his hard rock source or authority.

## Abilities

### Weapon(s)

It has been recently decided that Mako will use a blood scythe. Imagine the picture you see on the side but only different shades of red. He can summon it with his Blood Manipulation.

### Skill(s)

**Fire Manipulation-**Mako can create, shape and manipulate fire, the rapid oxidation of a material in the exothermic chemical process of combustion, releasing heat, light, and various reaction products, flame being the visible portion of the fire. Depending on the substances alight, and any impurities outside, the color of the flame and the fire's intensity will be different.

**Fire Empowerment-**Mako becomes stronger, faster, more durable, etc. when they come in contact with fire, possibly unlocking abilities related to the affinity and enhancing the existing powers. Some users may be able to draw sustenance from the fire or even slow or stop aging. This can make either he, his objects, his allies or his powers stronger.

This ability was technically either anhanced or completely removed after the experiments.

**Blood Manipulation-** He can create, shape and manipulate blood of oneself, others or from their surroundings, whether it be from blood-banks, hospitals, or battlefields.

Mako, with this ability, can

* Make less powerful clones of himself for defense,
* Heal and increase stamina/ strength through the consumption of other's blood.
* Use haemokinetic construction which means that he can use blood to form weapons for physical combat like in Beyond the Boundary (Kyoukai no Kanata), create armor, or body parts if necessary.

**Enhanced Body-**Mako's physical abilities are above natural members of their species in that verse, beyond what can be emulated via natural training and with little to no maintaining. This entails that they are faster, stronger and overall superior to fellow members of their species. This was gained along with his Blood Manipulation ability.
