Atsuko has spent all of her life training into what could be described as an "Ideal Knight". She works tirelessly to improve her skills and her strength, and is filled with a drive to explore, and to assist those who need it. The Saiyan stands vigilant at all times, rarely lowering her guard or her watch. Despite her young age, she takes to it all rather naturally. She may not share the same lust for battle that the other Saiyans do... But that thrill is still there.

Things that would seem to break the average person just don't seem to affect Atsuko in the same way, being more like rain rolling off of her back. It's not that she is incapable of feeling empathy and sympathy, of course. But trying to overwhelm her spirit is a great ordeal, as it typically only motivates her to strive onward.

While she is not exactly quick to anger, those who do earn her ire will be faced with a fearsome sight; a Knight that will seemingly stop at nothing to pay them back for the grievous misdeeds they performed to bring her to such a state... Even if it means playing the long game to accomplish it.




Height: 5'7" (171cm)
Weight: 125 lbs (57kg)
Hair Color: Blonde
Eye Color: Teal
Face Claim Name: Artoria Pendragon
Face Claim Origin: Fate (Series)

Atsuko's body is best described as athletic; not overly muscular. But certainly toned into fitness. Her blonde hair is usually tied into a bun with a ribbon, so that it doesn't get in the way during combat, and doesn't create too much fuss when wearing a helmet. She has teal eyes, usually with a deeply focused gaze behind them. Her face is typically hidden away, but she could otherwise be described as an attractive young woman, at least by conventional standards.

She doesn't stand at the tallest of heights, but she cuts an imposing figure nonetheless, especially when fully armored. She has no scars or birthmarks of note. Though her unusual hair and eyecolor is attributed to the fact that she was born with Albinism -- it functioning rather differently for Saiyans compared to Humans. Granting her a "pale" skin tone, and brightly colored hair and eyes. At least from the perspective of the tanned race with dark colored hair and eyes...



Family: Vocado (Father), Celleri (Mother), Tomina (Half-Sister), Micaela Inoue (Adoptive Mother)
Home world: Space (Wasn't born on a Planet!)
Starting planet: Earth
Home Town: Monastery in the Frozen North

Atsuko Inoue was originally born the daughter of Vocado and Celleri, and back then, she bore the name "Kimiko". Her parents were part of a prestigious Order known as the Knights of Yama, and despite her incredibly young age, they were forced to make a very difficult decision; their position within the Knightly Order jeopardized her safety. Someone or something was hunting down the Knights of Yama, and killing them. While Saiyans were not the type to back down from a challenge... The word that so many of their kin had been struck down was concerning, to say the very least.

The assailant was still unknown, and so long as that was the case, they couldn't bring themselves to risk their newborn daughter. It took considerable deliberation upon their part; but they finally chose to send her back to Earth, arranging for her to come into the care of a Human named Micaela. It was an unusual request, to say the very least. As they also asked that she be given a new name -- a whole new identity... A fresh slate. It was the only way to prevent any possible connection to the Knights of Yama being found out.

So, with the young Saiyan in hand, Micaela named her "Atsuko Inoue". It took some adjusting... But she grew to love the company that the young child provided, especially as she grew. Micaela had settled into a Monastery in the Frozen North with Atsuko. There, Atsuko was provided with education and training. The harsh regions proving suitable for toughening the child as the years went by. She learned how to survive in the wilds, disconnected from the larger chunks of society as a whole.

Her physical prowess developed just as anyone could have expected of a Saiyan, and her ability to grasp Ki was no less lacking. In fact, she was second only to two people within the Monastery; the Elder, and Micaela. Though Atsuko still lacked traditional experience that the many veterans had over her, she could outpace them in most cases.

However, not all of it was an easy task, despite her natural abilities. She still had that Tail... And Micaela knew that it could become a problem if she were unaware of what it granted her. If she couldn't control it, it could prove disastrous. That was why Micaela requested that Atsuko accompany her on a special training session. She only said that this one would prove to be the most difficult yet.

What resulted was Micaela explaining her Saiyan Heritage, and then the two carefully confronting what the Full Moon would turn the young girl into... Micaela would assist her, using her own energy to keep Atsuko's Ki in check. But this would be a matter of sheer willpower for the Saiyan. She had to resist the bestial nature that lurked within, waiting to burst free when it gathered the Blutz Energy it needed.

Micaela's assistance proved invaluable, as otherwise Atsuko surely would have lost control of herself. The first few times were the most difficult. It reminded her of a dark and terrible power, clawing it's way through her body, trying to take the reins away from her. An almost alien -- and yet very familiar presence worming it's way through her conscious. Atsuko had been told to resist it, and she did so with every fiber of her being.

It caused her physical pain to clash with that nature to such a degree... But over time, through countless training sessions just like the very first, she was able to grasp it a little easier... Before finally, she could look upon the Full Moon and only feel a slight tinge of that beast lurking within. She could suppress it through her own will. If she ever needed to, she could still call upon that power, though Micaela warned her that doing so would prove dangerous.

This only trained her to resist the transformation, not to control it. They were two very different things. The Knight silently resolved herself to not use such an unreliable power as that. Still, this was her greatest achievement yet, as conquering that side of herself brought her an even greater focus than before. And her will had been tempered to be stronger than steel.

By the time she turned eighteen, she was ready for her coming of age ceremony. Atsuko had been brought to the grand chamber in the Monastery, and there she had been granted several gifts. First, a holy blade that was still placed inside of it's sheath. The Elder explained to her that no one had been able to draw the sword free, as the sword chose who was most worthy of wielding it.

She had also been granted a set of armor, described as magical; and it certainly felt that way as soon as she put it on, as it would suit itself perfectly to her form. With these gifts now delivered to her, it was explained that she must now venture out into the world to continue her training. It may be what could finally undo the lock on that sword, or she may find the one who could pull it free.

Atsuko accepted these tasks, and was soon ready to set out on her own. As she stepped outside of the Monastery gates, Micaela would stop her, and explain a few more things that she needed to know... Or rather, remind her of the things that she should never forget.

"You were born from two Saiyans that were within the Knights of Yama; an Order that has now been all but destroyed by an unknown enemy. Your greatest asset is your completely concealed identity. Your armor is both a mark of honor, and a means of allowing you to escape and hide."

That was what Micaela said to her. It was certainly true... So long as she wore this armor, no one would know what she looked like. If things ever became desperate enough, she could remove it, and change her name once more.

The two share a hug, with the Saiyan bidding her adoptive mother farewell, and then she sets out on her journey...

Atsuko Inoue silently vows to herself that she won't give any enemy the chance to make her give up the identity she has now.

This is where her story begins.



Pain Threshold:
Saiyans aren't just durable in combat, they're able to take that pain and dish it out in return! With the Pain Threshold racial bonus, every 25% of their total hp lost, a Saiyan gains an extra 5% boost to the max PL used in attack type Techniques up to a maximum of 15% extra at 75% HP loss.

Battle Stamina:
Saiyans know exactly the most efficient ways to channel their Ki in war time. When using offensive Techniques, you use 5 points less Ki than normal

High in the skies, Atsuko's aura had steadied along with her balance. She stares ahead at the mysterious figure, no words had been exchanged. Instead, the two simply lunge at each other, and begin to exchange blows. Violent bursts of power rage forth, though not enough to cause the planet to quake. It certainly sent out a shockwave within the immediate area, giving one the impression that the Earth was trembling before the fight taking place.

As their fists clash, thunder and lightning rings throughout the skies. The Knight and the figure were evenly matched, trading blow for blow. Neither seeming to be capable of making much of a dent in the other... In fact, for how intense the battle was so far, neither of them had a scratch as of yet. Although the situation does change, as the figure backs off momentarily. Atsuko sees this as her chance and rushes in to deliver another punch.

But the figure's power skyrockets higher than ever before, this truly causing the planet to shake in response, as they are enveloped in a golden aura. Electricity surges around them, and the vanish, appearing right in front of Atsuko. The Knight tries to pull back, but her enemy is faster. Her arm is grabbed, and then the Knight is pulled face-to-face, at eye level.

"Needs some work."

An unusually chipper, feminine voice then comments.

Atsuko jolts out of her meditative state, looking at her surroundings. She was enveloped in a cold sweat, and she felt short of breath... After a few moments, she is able to calm her nerves. That was so odd... Normally when she did Image Training, it was exactly as what one would have expected, an imaginary fight against an opponent. But every now and then, they felt different.

Sometimes it happened even when she wasn't performing Image Training... It was that same voice too. Feminine, and familiar but... Who? She swears to herself that she has never met anyone with that voice.

She begins to reflect on what the figure said.

"Well, that's why I'm out here... I haven't found someone I can train with yet, so this is my best option."

Atsuko then states. Wondering if whoever it was might hear. Despite the incredible power they showed, she could tell that this person didn't mean her any harm. If they did, well... Destroying her would take practically no effort at all.

The Knight eventually finishes musing upon her thoughts, and begins to collect her camping supplies, before setting out once more. There was a whole world to explore. She silently wonders when she might come across the civilization she had heard so much about.
