First and foremost, Meiko is not your typically "friendly" character. She can be very blunt, short, and even rude towards people, especially to strangers or acquaintances. However, please don't take this to heart! I'm still very much open to walk-up roleplay, and Meiko's feelings and actions are not representative of my OOC feelings! She may be a jerk, but I'm really not! I swear! Also, Meiko does engage in law-breaking and sometimes morally questionable activities, mostly in her line of work. When RPing these kinds of scenes and situations, I very much prefer to use public chat channels (say, emotes, etc.) where relevant in order to keep things more realistic. Thus, this tends to leave my RP open to consequences, which I prefer because it forces me to think more in-depth in my roleplays. If you're not comfortable with this kind of possibility, please be up front about it with me OOCly. *** OOC NOTE *** Please note that I expect us to maintain a clear IC / OOC division in RP. In short, what Meiko feels about your character is not necessarily my own feelings OOCly, and vice versa. I'm a very friendly person and love talking to and hanging out with my RP partners. Yet if I feel an OOC relationship is becoming stifling or uncomfortable, I will not hesitate to address it or cut contact. That said, please note that I am very happily taken IRL and as such, I really, really don't enjoy nor will I tolerate advances of either the (OOC) romantic or sexual variety. |

These are Meiko's favored type of weapon - lightweight and maneuverable, yet still deadly and efficient. There are no fancy bells and whistles. No aetherically-enhanced anything, nor even anything flashy in terms of design. Just two simple stabbers that she can also sling from a distance with surprising accuracy when such a thing is needed. |
The woman possesses an uncanny knack for stealth, light on her feet and moving with scarcely so much as a shuffle. Partnered with her tendency to disregard socially accepted "honorable" fighting practices, this can be particularly useful when she needs to get the jump on an adversary - to hit them before they even know she's there. |
She is quick and she is nimble, simply put. When she fights, she gives the feeling that there is never a muscle in her body that isn't acting or moving in precisely the way she's dictating it, displaying impressive control despite the speed at which she moves. Truly, this can make for an annoying opponent, should one be unused or unsuited to dealing with her type. |
When she encounters a combat situation, Meiko drops into a super focused state of mind that helps her react quicker and strike more precisely. She isn't one for show or extravagance and nary even gives up so much as a peep when she's tussling. Though if one does manage to find a lapse in her focus, this strength can easily turn into a weakness unless she is quick to recover. |

- Misc. Notes:
- ■ I play Meiko as the daughter of a Japanese culture-based Doman immigrant. As such, she is fluent in Japanese, which I refer to ICly as her mother's native Doman dialect. I do speak Japanese OOCly to an extent (that's what my college degree is in!) but I will typically use { }s ICly when she is speaking in 'Doman' for others' sakes. Likewise, when more information and lore is released on Doma in later content, expect there to be a certain level of revisions and tweaks made to reflect them.
- Personal RP Limits:
- ■ Do: Mature themes in RP (including violence, drug use, sexuality, etc.) as appropriate in the course of RP. "Dark" and criminal themes. Coarse and excessive language. Temporary injury and incapacitation. Temporary captivity or imprisonment.
- ■ Ask: Any type of major character-altering disfigurement or injury. Long-term imprisonment.
- ■ Don't: Permanent character death. Sexual RP without plot significance. (That means you, creepy /tell ass-grabbers!) IC/OOC bleed over, whether of the good, bad, romantic, sexual, psychological, etc. varieties.
