surayata MAKARA FULL NAME: Makara of the Surayata Clan AGE: Seventy-Nine BIOLOGICAL GENDER: Female MEMBER GROUP: Politician HOME COUNTRY: Ahasa OCCUPATION: MNSP Representative POKEMON // WHAT ARE YOU? SPECIES: Mawile ABILITY: Intimidate LEVEL: 10 EGG MOVE AND CLASS BONUS: Sucker Punch and the TM Stone Edge DRASTIC CHANGES: None OVERALL APPEARANCE Makara is a somewhat mid-aged adult Mawile- due to the long lifespans of the species, "seventy-nine" is actually somewhat closer to the late thirties in a human, despite being old compared to most Pokemon. She's a little smaller and leaner than the average Mawile, and is fairly short. More noticeably, however, is the patchwork of scars criss-crossing across her body. The most noticeable one is a long, terrible tear that runs across her horns. She'll gladly explain that it was a Dragonite- and the Dragonite lost. PERSONALITY // WHO ARE YOU? LIKES ✔ A good fight: None of you land-walkers know how to greet a girl, do you? Makara's hardly hot-blooded by Ahasan standards, but she does enjoy a good fight now and then. She'll actively seek them out if it's been too long. Gotta keep the horns sharp. ✔ Winning: Makara is really, really competitive- which is part of why she agreed to become a politician. Winning in the political sphere- now there's a victory not many people get the chance to get. ✔ Dragon meat: You can't get this anywhere in these stupid land-walker towns, either, can you? Although, to be honest, she mostly mentions this particular like because it freaks out some of the nobility she has to negotiate with. If they're gonna treat her like she's one step removed from a Feral, she reserves the right to have fun by scaring the bejesus out of them.. (Though honestly, she is partial to certain types of dragon that you can't get in Invictus...) ✔ Being underestimated: So many people assume fairy types don't have warrior blood. So many assume that the girl with a polite smile, an older age, a more traditional, smaller nation, and a small size doesn't have dangerous fangs. Idiots. ✔ Being respected: Makara would often prefer this to being underestimated, but honestly, she'll take either. Either one gives her a sort of power over another person, after all. Being respected? That lets her make friends in return, though, because she's not going to put on her true face in front of people who refuse to respect her as an intelligent Pokemon in her own right and a warrior. Here, in land-walker territory? That's limited her scope of friends quite a bit... DISLIKES ✖ Pansies: Listen. If you're gonna lead your people, you've got to be prepared to die for them. Every clan head knows this. Heck, every high-ranking Ahasan knows this. Why the hell don't any of these people? ✖ Being belittled: Oh, she'll put up with it for the sake of her job, but a lot of people treat her and her country like they're one step removed from ferals, what with their love of fighting and completely foreign culture. As a result, she and her ideas are often treated as unimportant. She's working on it. She'll beat some sense into people's heads eventually. ✖ Losing: Makara refuses to lose anything for long. She doesn't really accept that she has to lose sometimes. She'll "lose", then she'll find some way to turn it around into a win for her- whether it be by lying, cheating, or just changing the rules a little. She wouldn't do this to her clan as much, because her clan winning is her winning, but here? It's win or win at harsh costs for her. ✖ Free lunch: Makara doesn't take charity well. There's almost always got to be an ulterior motive from an outsider. She'll hunt her own food, thank you very much. ✖ Being made a fool: Makara may be a little manipulative herself, but she trusts her ability to judge people. This is why she hates being made a fool- not only has she been tricked, but her judgement was wrong and she has to start over again. HABITS ► Baring her horns: When in an argument, trying to make a point, or otherwise be listened to, she'll often raise and click her horns together to make herself bigger and more threatening. It's a mostly subconscious gesture. ► Humming: Makara will hum or quietly sing if there isn't enough noise in an area. She'll cut it out if someone mentions it, but if not, it goes on. FEARS ► Being exiled: Makara needs a clan and family. Her worst fear is that she'll somehow slip up and be tossed out of hers. OVERALL Makara is good at putting on faces. It's an unusual skill for an Ahasan, but one that Makara finds a great deal of use out of. She is capable of subtly shifting her actions and words to, in her own terms, give herself an advantage in a "fight". As such, different people will see different personalities out of Makara. Despite these differing personalities, these personalities all have similar roots, and these shifts all have a certain goal. Here, we'll talk about her "roots", her "core" personality- but be aware that she can, if necessary, make shifts around her personality to accommodate different situations. First: Makara was raised in a warrior society and in a warrior class, and tends to think of things in terms of battles. This maps surprisingly well onto the political landscape, actually. Given her own methods of problem-solving, she will build situations in her mind and out loud like they are fights, taking advantage, using the "terrain", allowing whatever she can to build in order to win the fight.
