Rin Yamaoka
————————————
Name: Rin Yamaoka
Nicknames: Oka, Tessen
Age: 17
Faction: MECH
Rank: MECH Assistant
Primary Residence: Earth
Face Claim: Azula (Avatar the Last Airbender)
———————————
Special Abilities:
Tessenjutsu: The martial art of the Japanese war fan. It is based on the use of an iron/bladed fan typically parrying an opponents blows. Rin has perfected this mostly defensive skill into a brutal art form of her own creation.
Kusarigamajutsu: The martial art and mastery of the kusarigama. The kusari (the chain) is often used for sweeping attacks and distraction while the blade (kama) is used to deliver the final blow.
Mixed martial arts: Her skills in hand to hand combat are rivaled by very few. Her personal specialties are taekwondo, karate, and judo.
Weaponry:
Tessens: Two twin metal war fans that she was sold with when she was a child. The fans entirely metal bared notably sharp edges to them for slicing opponents. The handle of the fan has a sharp spike which can be used as a typical blade. It’s metal sheets make a nice shield against most projectiles, bullets included, and it makes for awesome shade.
Kusarigama: The weapon consists of a kama (Japanese equivalent of a sickle) and kusari-fundo (kusari being the chain and fundo being the weight at the end.)
A revolver: She typically doesn’t use it as guns are hardly her style.
Any Team Affiliations?: MECH
Autobot/Decepticon Partner: N/A
———————————
Family: Unknown
Significant Other: None
Likes:
Training: Nothing to Rin like stimulating the mind and the body.
Perfection: Rin is a perfectionist and strives in perfection of all things, especially her craft.
Her home: Rin feels a great love for her homeland of Japan and takes any chance she gets to visit there.
Reading: Nothing like some relaxing reading to take the edge off a long day of training.
Competition: She has a highly competitive spirit and often takes pleasure in crushing her opponents, especially those bigger and stronger than her.
Dislikes:
Cybertronians: She has a heavy distaste for Cybertronians and their kind, having grown up a slave fighting for dear life in the gladiatorial arena has traumatized her. She remains suspicious and wary of cybernetic individuals and those who hang around them.
Laziness: Taking time to relax is something that can only be done after a day’s work. Lazy individuals are a personal pet peeve of Rin’s.
Darkness (phobia)
Distractions/loud noises: Rin likes to have complete concentration in all that she does, the last thing she needs is some random loud mouth ruining her day.
Not being in control: She spent her entire youth not in control of anything, always passed around from master to master. Now no one gets to control her destiny but her, no one.
Personality: Rin is dedicated and strong-willed, dignified — merciless — and cold. Growing up in underground fighting rings has hardened her heart and has both strengthened her resolve and crushed her ability to trust non-organic organism. She is immensely confident in both herself and her abilities, more specifically her manipulation tactics and combat skills. Despite her youth she had quite the tactical mind, finding her opponents weakness and exploiting and abusing it is one of her strong suits. She is as intelligent as she is skilled. Though there is a small part of her that yearns for a certain kind of normalcy.
History: Born in Nagasaki, Japan and sold to the trade a few months later Rin never got to be acquainted with her biological family. Her only companion being the fans she was given away with at birth. As she grew, and was passed down master to master, she witnessed things no child should witness. She saw human suffering at the hands of these robotic organisms, the metallic things that controlled every aspect of her life. And she too became one of the suffering as she was thrown into the ring for the first time. She gained popularity in the arena due to her unique style of fighting with her tessens, as she grew this gracefully brutal skill became more and more effective. Her skill only sharpened.
Thankfully, her life under her robotic tormentors did not last as she was able to escape at the age of eleven. With her new found freedom she left Cybertron and made her way back to Japan. There she was taken in by an old man who went by Mr. Kimura. Through Kimura Rin learned the art the kusarigama and the proper tessenjutsu techniques. She learned that her previous technique, though effective, was brutally offensive and unorthodox rather than defensive. She stayed in Japan until she completed her training at seventeen. Bidding her kind master goodbye she left, setting out to find her own destiny. And she did, in MECH.
Sharing the same ideals of ridding their world of these robotic creatures she enlisted the first chance she got. Her goal is to climb to the top of the food chain and remove these Cybertronians from their home.
