Abilities/Powers: Makoto is a Beastkin, which means that by default she lives a very long life and has animal traits that come up like natural reflexes and answers (in this case, like a squirrel). Thanks to her lineage of being one, she has incredibly monstrous strength and is more than capable of punching a crater in the ground with one swift attack, even without a weapon. She is fast enough to separate into after-images that go in separate directions in the middle of a battle (up to two at the same time as her), and can punch dozens of times in quick succession which makes it seem like she has multiple arms. In other words, she's athletic and strong, and more than capable enough to handle herself in a fight with her natural strength.
But that isn't what she uses, most of the time. She has a weapon to help out.
She fights using hand-to-hand combat mixed with her unnamed tonfas, which are actually a type of Ars Armagus (in other words, a magical device that helps those who can not use magic use it) that serve to increase and amplify her combat prowess and strength. Those tonfas are capable of feats that Makoto could not accomplish without them, allowing her to emit small ball-projectiles that she can punch at people, and project giant images of her fists from behind her that are just a solid as the real deal. They also allow her to charge the power of her blows, making them even stronger based on how long she charges each attack, which is a technique known as Impact.
Impact applies to most of her heavy punches and major attacks, adding a layer of power and destruction that wouldn't be found in her normally already beast-like strength. It allows her feats such as the aforementioned giant fist, slamming someone up in the air only to punch them back down with another energy-projected fist, and amplifying her strength enough to send an opponent flying into the sky and through the moon.
And she has enough control over her tail to use it as a weapon. Not that it'll hurt much. The thing is pretty damn fluffy.
Items/Weapons: ♦ Tonfas: Her Ars Armagus and weapon of choice.
Nothing else. There isn't a need for anything else to brought with her to Haven.
Sample Entry Two: The sound of teeth grinding against each other was astounding. It echoed throughout the small, dark room that Makoto found herself in. Her sight locked on her objective, her eyes burned with a passion that no mortal man should have to witness. The determination on her countenance was so fierce that it may as well be the face of a lion cornering its prey. Brow furrowing, she pushed forward. The action was followed by the sound of machinery moving.
"Come on..."
She refused to suffer the same fate that was forced upon her time and time again. There was no way she would resign to losing this challenge. She had to be forceful, and she knew it. It was the only way. The determination on her face refused to falter as she pushed with great force once again. Losing isn't an option. It's never an option. Makoto's suddenly wandered to her friends, and how she would give her life to protect them. Their bonds were that strong. It was that kind of ferocity that made her so strong and so effective at whatever she applied herself to.
"Come on.... Come on, come on, come on! You can do this, Makoto! Go in strong!"
Pushing again, the machine strained for a mere second, and Makoto's face lit up. It was followed by a noise. A noise that Makoto knew all too well. Her fierce expression died out nearly instantaneously, her eyes looking as if they were hollow and full of defeat. She couldn't have... No... It was...
Game Over.
Unbelievable. She let herself get defeated by the game again, her hand limply resting on the joystick as she sighed in defeat. Having the will to win and succeed at any cost was fine and all, but it doesn't come close to actually knowing how to the play the game. With a pout, Makoto gently kicked the machine at the side before reaching into her pocket for more change. Giving up was never her style.
