Mako Grey

Appearance
Mako has lovely rubber ducky yellow eyes, and orange messy hair. 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 or compression tights, or whatever they are. I honestly don't. They are just there because I thought they were sort of cool.

Personality
Mako's character was supposed to represent the underdog hero protagonist of an anime. He is reckless and kind of dumb, but he always wants the best for others. The problem is that his methods to help others are usually seen as irrational. He has a natural charisma that draws people to him. Everyone around him and himself are unaware of that. His positive outlook towards a situation inspires people. His more visible traits include being annoying, loud,  perverted, and a slight scaredy-cat. It is still true that he wants the best for others. He is willing to do whatever it takes to help friends and family, but that is after he gets over the paralyzing fear that creeps up in any dangerous situation. Despite technology being as skilled his friends, he still feels like he is too weak to do any good in a fight.

Over time he begins to become a little more serious. In the current universe, he was given the blood ability. That was after horrifying experiments were done on him by Neon's brother Kazuo. He thought it was nasty and creepy and wanted nothing to do with it. Sadly, he couldn't get rid of it. He was forced to put on his big boy pants and deal with it. Mako developed an edgy persona to deal with his new edgy ability. That didn't stick for too long. Staying quiet, cold, and aloof wasn't his thing.

Mako's, in a past universe, relationship with the lunch lady of the school was hot. I mean that his hatred for her burned hotter than the flames of anime hell. She is the only one who he has ever shown actual hatred to. One that same point, Mako refuses to interact with Neon's family. He has mentioned very loudly in front of everyone numerous times that they are evil and terrifying. He also feels like they personally enjoy messing with him in particular.

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.

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.
