Muscular, yet curvy. Yukio has a fair amount of built-up muscle on her body, yet she has wide hips and large breasts. Her figure is still youthful-looking, mostly thanks to everyday training, even though she has already retired from service, and her muscles are wiry from practice of martial arts and swordsmanship just as well as practicing fighting daily. Her skin has a slight caramel tint, being somewhat tanned at all times, yet still has a cool shade to itself, and her features are sharp, one would even say she looks more like a young boy rather than a woman. Her eyes, narrow, tilted and cat-like, with rather bright and striking blue irises, are set above a pair of tall cheekbones and she has a narrow nose on a slightly elongated face, a somewhat pointed chin as well. She does evoke the appearance of a man at times, especially when her body is not in view. Something unusual about her is that her lower lashes are particularly long. She can be considered attractive, but in an unusual, rough, weather-worn way, like a jagged old sword, unlike the typical 'beautiful maiden' style. Her hair is a mess of black, which would have been nice, silky and straight would she not cut it into a nearly boyishly short length on the front of her head, and leave it long, hanging down to her back on the back. It frames her face on the sides, with a few longer wisps on either sides of her face. It seems to have dark grayish highlights in bright light, but is yet far from graying. From the half of her upper arm, the entirety of her right arm is missing, having been cut off and she was left with a jagged scar on the place. Once, both her upper arms were adorned by armband-like tribal tattoos, but now, only the left one remains whole, the right one being partly cut off and partly broken by the scar that took its place. Instead, this missing arm is often replaced by a black bionic arm, a connection for which has been implanted in the remains of the arm, but it is often missing, as it tends to malfunction or not work at all.
And Yukio doesn't like clothes. She doesn't like to wear more than a few pieces of clothing and most of all, she hates skinny jeans and long-sleeved jumpers with a burning passion; most often, she's found wearing a pair of worn, loose sweatpants and a tank top, occasionally donning a hoodie as well - mostly in the colder weather. When required to frequent a public space, she may bother wearing a pair of ripped, loose jeans, most likely borrowed from (and never returned to) a road worker, or a men's shirt with the sleeves rolled up above her elbows. She doesn't like shoes very much either; mostly, she simply wears a pair of cheap flip-flops, or goes by barefoot. Only when absolutely necessary, she will wear clunky army boots or comfortable trainers. She wears also a scarf-like white fabric, wrapped around her head, tied in a knot on the left on most times, or simply lousily folded over around her hair, which protrudes through the folds in tufts. Sometimes, she also wears a fingerless glove on her one remaining hand, to help with handling weapons. She wears mostly dark and faded colors, likes camo patterns, shades of grayish blue, and most of her clothing is intended to be simply practical and comfortable, without any content for the appearance.
- It's Yukio! | +
Personality:Likes: Men's clothing, breakfast in bed, people that know how to handle weapons, action movies, huge riffles, blasting things with aforementioned huge riffles, firepower, a well-crafted weapon, quality work, sarcasm, black humor, rice dumplings, not giving a damn
Dislikes: Her prosthesis malfunctioning, people that don't know anything about weapons, official clothing, girly girls, ammo running out, when someone gives too much damns, light beer, and tight clothes
Strengths: Confident in her field of work, competent, skilled, and a no-nonsense attitude; a good combatant and a down-to-earth person with a very realistic outlook on life and good leadership skills
Weaknesses: Lazy and lacking sympathy and mercy, little patience and a short fuse; her lacking arm poses as a drawback in combat along with the chronic pain she still experiences from the injury
Habits: Being extremely obsessive about the state of her weapons, she always checks them before she goes to sleep and after she wakes up; she thinks in a very weaponized way, one could even call her pragmatic and cynical for thinking of almost everything like usable objects
Quirks: Her weapons are her sweeties; she takes them more like pets or children than possessions. She even custom-paints them... And she secretly collects action figures.
Dreams: Owning the best, most advanced and up-to-date self-modified collection of weapons with the most firepower possible; getting a real right arm again to return to her line of work
Fears: Her weapons being stolen or destroyed; weapons ban
A tough girl with a no-nonsense attitude. Yukio is proud and won't put up with complaining, whining, softness, and childish behavior. She is quite strict and refuses to tolerate people misbehaving in the premises of her shop, raising a ruckus, or talking back to her. Don't try to provoke her - it's not that hard, but don't try it, as it isn't worth seeing her angry. She will let anyone know when she's not happy with how they behave... And reprimand them appropriately, mostly with a whack of a sandals against their head, a swift kick into the butt, or spilling curses at them. Or all of those at once.
She's quite rough, though confident, and she has no qualms about expressing her opinion, though in personality, she resembles a guy rather than a girl. She's not soft in the slightest, can stomach both gore and difficulties, and has a will of iron. No matter what happens, Yukio will get up and keep going. If she's knocked down ten times, she'll stand up each of those ten times. Even despite her harsh humor, fiery personality, a fuse like a firework, and her roughness, she has endless reserves of stamina and determination.
Her personality is very dynamic and expressive. She likes to joke, though having a sarcastic sense of humor. Her emotions can change quite fast, though she is a big fan of using cold-blooded logic, and she won't just make up arguments, or start a war because of made-up puppet reasons.
She, however, doesn't lack empathy. Maybe she's not the best shoulder to cry on, but if in need of reassurance, support, or help, Yukio won't just shrug it off and send you off (unless you're bothering her with something stupid, in that way, see first paragraph).
However, she hates childishness. She may be a bit provocative with her dislike of clothes, sense of humor, and lack of shame for showing skin - no way in hell she's a prude - but she knows her borders, and isn't a flirt. Softness and romance is way too far from her mind for the thought of that to even occur there - instead of a bouquet of orchids, she's more likely to gift you a pack of cigs and a pat on the back.
Qualifications: The highest available and achievable warrior licence; she has a huge knowledge on weapons, mainly guns, the ways they function, the ways they can be adjusted and improved, and also the way they kill. Can drive a truck and operate about any weapon that fires bullets or cuts through things.
Important belongings:Except for an array of weapons, ranging from shotguns, airguns and hunting knives to miniguns and flamethrowers, she has these few sweeties that are special to her:
Uncle butcher: an air-cooled, electrically fired rotary cannon (minigun-style) which fires rounds at an extremely high rate; painted to give it a worn metal look; modified from six to twelve cannons, and weighting about 40-50kg. It's an extremely effective weapon that will tear walls apart, usually carried on the shoulder. It's heavy and difficult to maneuver, slowing Yukio down significantly, but who needs speed when you have extremely high firepower?
Pig-roasting cannon: It's what it says on the cover, a flamethrower. Similar in design to Uncle Butcher, it looks old, but is in perfect condition. It is big in size, this most times has to be carried on the shoulder (or under it). It blows flame from three different barrels, efficiently increasing its amount. It fires a gas flame, at higher powers gaining a blue-ish tint. And scorches everything that comes in Yukio's way and is stupid enough to stay there for more than a nanosecond.
Vibroblade: unnamed. This one is one of her more recent 'toys', but works like wonder if she accidentally runs out of ammo.

Yukio, the accidental child of a dancer and a company worker, was by the law given to her father for custody; she didn't see her mother since she was two. The woman simply disappeared, and Rikku took care of Yukio alone, raising her in the somewhat rustic, but calm and peaceful Shintaro lordship. At the age of 5, when she was a very enthusiastic, and unfortunately also a very violent and war-like one, she was put - as an attempt to calm her down - for the warrior education. And it fit her extremely well. She rose through the ranks, finding her satisfaction in fighting and training. She was considered very efficient - though also feared due to this efficiency. It didn't matter what sort of gun you gave to her, she could make use of it.
Three years ago she, however, had a bad run-in into several Tengu in the mountains. And ran out of ammo. One of them managed to slice her right arm clean off before she defeat them all, flying into a rage. Unfortunately her arm couldn't be reattached, and she had to, due to the painful consequences of the injury, retire from her duty as a warrior. She didn't make a full recovery (and she most likely never will, considering it's impossible to grow a whole limb), and after that event, she moved to Miyake and started the second thing she knew best - weapon business. She now owns a small shop in the Kutsuma district with (not always legal) arms, ammo and knives.
