[b]Physical Appearance:[/b] Reiko is a woman of stature. She carries herself with grace much like royalty. Appearing rather out of place in the Skull crowd. She is aged, and it showed in her wrinkles, and long matured body. Reiko is a slender woman, with an overall thin, curvy, build. She has a slight muscle tone on her body, not saying she's built like a tank, but she's more of a person that is constantly working, moving, and it shows in her frame. She weighs a nice 153 lb. Reiko is a few inches taller than the average female at 5'9 ft, and she owes that to her longer limbs. Reiko has long legs, with rather strong calves and thighs. Her arms are rather long too, and she has strong, Earth-hands, with long slender fingers. Reiko is obviously a Japanese woman, her skin tone, facial features, and eyes, give it all away. Her skin is a light-yellow color, and is strangely spotless. There is not a single mark on her. All because of her healing factor. Because of that same power, Reiko has a few bestial mutations, however, they are not as obvious as her son's, since she is capable of controlling transformation. Reiko's eyes are very similar to a common house cat's, golden in color, except dilated. When a light is shined upon them, they reflect the light. All while being slanted, consistent with other Japanese Women. Her canines are also over-developed, and razorsharp, to the point of fangs. Her tongue is long, at least a foot, and forked much like a snake. However, these are just small features that carry over from her Apex Predator form, once she transforms, her body is much more fearsome and bestial (Details in her power section). Reiko has a medium-sized, heart-shaped head, with a strong jawline and chin. She has a large, hooked nose, that has very large nostrils and a thick nose bridge. Her lips aren't too pronounced, they are small, and not too notable. Reiko's ears are small, but they are elongated and pointed at the tip, they look much like the ears of bats. Reiko has a rather large forehead. Finally, Reiko's hair is a dark black color, that she keeps in a bun.

[b]Attire:[/b] Reiko's attire varies. For starters, she would love to constantly walk around wearing fancy dresses, but that wouldn't fit the Skull's heavy metal style. She has to go for the next best thing, she wears skirts, and leather outfits, with boots, or else she will be seen wearing a cocktail-dress. She is also seen wearing jewelry, such as necklaces and rings.

[b][u]Personality[/u][/b]

[b]Outward & Innate Personality:[/b] A true beast among humans. Reiko has a bestial mindset, thus she is the type of person to have a lack of understanding in human certain social norms. She finds herself as an outcast because of that, however, this is something that she has long accepted. She views herself as something different than human, someone that lived a life differently from them. That's not to say that she doesn't have any humanity in her. She doesn't view humans below or above her, she views anyone as her equal until other wise. Merely because, regardless of powers, she is human deep down. Just that she sees things differently. Instead of being a mere woman, she views herself as a matriarch of a pack. Reiko is fiercely proud, and holds her pride as a huntress, warrior, and mother above all else. She will go down to the grave with her pride. Reiko is soft spoken, and quiet, she takes time to choose her words very often. Whether it's simply talking to a friend, or threatening someone, she takes the same action regardless. To her friends, she can be seen as loyal. To anyone who treats her well, she will return the favor. Reiko has a rather grounded view on the world, and beliefs. She is simply an aged veteran that has seen it all, and it has left her quite jaded. She keeps her emotions in check, and is rarely seen losing control of them. Because that's something that Reiko values above all else, control. Reiko tends to stay in the background, and provide neutral observations and commentary, which she's quite fond of sharing. Whether it's about the Skull's "politics", to members of either gang, or just her opinion in general. However, she isn't kittens and sunshine, her morality is a mixed bag, and towards her enemies, she is vicious. She takes swift action against them, and acts ruthlessly. Reiko isn't above brutal murder, and cannibalism is a grey area. Reiko will rarely fight enemies in a fair fight, because to her, fair fights don't exist, especially when she's going against people who can knock over buildings with a thought. She is just as likely to kill someone in their sleep than take them up front. To her, morality is a fool's game at worst, and an inhibitor at best. Reiko's goal is her only child's safety and development into adulthood, and to accomplish that, she has to stay alive. Factions are interchangeable, and she refuses to go down with the ship. 

[b]Hobbies/Interests:[/b] Music (Specifically Jazz), animals, jewelry, exploration, fine wines, and learning more about people.

[b]Skills/Talents:[/b] Reiko didn't live the life that everyone else did, she didn't get the opportunity to learn to play instruments, or get more than a basic education. She was taught the way of the beast. For all her life, Reiko has been taught how to put that power of hers to good use. She knows how to traverse environments with grace and speed, fight viciously, read emotions with her power, track people, hunt prey, along with other gifts. In addition, she is simply experienced. She had a lifetime of learning how things work, and honing her skills, that she is simply a veteran. However, she is also fluent in Japanese.

[b]Skeleton/Peter[/b] | [b]Good[/b] | [b]Boss[/b] | [i]"My boss and friend. He is a cruel man, but I believe he isn't all that wrong for being that way. However, I do not believe he'll, nor the Skulls, last long with his head on tactics."[/i] |

[b]Kylie Evans[/b] | [b]Good[/b] | [b]Boss/Friend[/b] | [i]"Kylie and I talk occasionally in private. I prefer our chats to the testosterone fueled nonsense the rest spout. In a way, we are similar."[/i] |

[b]Matthew Evans[/b] | [b]Neutral[/b] | [b]Boss/Kylie's brother[/b] | [i]"This child is the Skull's wunderchild. I understand his beliefs wholly ... He is powerful, yes, but lacks true experience."[/i] |

[b]Caden Zorich[/b] | [b]Neutral[/b] | [b]Boss[/b] | [i]"A strange man, indeed. His head is filled with garbage about advancing the Meta-human race, and not just the Skulls.... I hope Skeleton knows what he's doing when he lets this maniac rise the ranks. Because that's how schisms start."[/i] |

[b]Titus MacArthur[/b] | [b]Bad[/b] | [b]Fool[/b] | [i]"A headstrong bastard that doesn't realize he's worthless without his limitless strength. It's only a matter of time before this fool dies in battle, or more entertainingly, outlives his usefulness."[/i] |

[b][u]Abilities[/u][/b]

[b]Power Class:[/b] Animal & Super-System

[b]Power:[/b][i] Apex-Predator.[/i] Much like her child, Reiko is the monstrous Apex Predator. Unmatched in the bestial field. That said, she possess a wide range of abilities handpicked from the animal-kingdom, refined with age and a lifetime of training. Reiko has the predator instinct, agility and speed head and shoulders above humans, fast metabolism, enhanced senses (Hearing, Smell, and Night vision), enhanced reflexes, camouflage, and a regenerative factor (she is capable of healing heavily-damaged limbs, muscle-tissue, and skin in a couple hours). As apart of her training, she is a kickass tracker, huntress, can fight with skill and brutality, and can read emotions using her enhanced senses. Reiko is capable of transforming into a more bestial shape, she is able to transform into a demonic hybrid of man and beast. She will sprout knife-like claws, a mouth full of shark-like teeth, massive wings, a thick tail, two goat-like horns from the top of her forehead, and her lips and cheek-skin will shed to show all her teeth. In this state, she has tripled agility, and senses. 

[i]Beast Form.[/i] Reiko has a very powerful alternate form. Massive and demonic. She transforms into a four-legged dragon-like beast that's torso alone is the size of minivans, and weighs just as much. With intimidating bulk and muscles around her legs to boot. This creature is covered in armored-scales, and has massive claws sharp enough to tear through people. Her tail will be at least twenty feet long and blade-tipped with a jagged spear. She'll barely be recognizable in this form, her head will have a similar shape to goat skulls. In this form, she moves like big cats, and, much like them, is surprisingly agile. The capabilities of this form is obvious. Her strength will be brought up to the point where she can knock over buses, her durability will be greatly enhanced so she can support that strength, and her senses will be brought up even further. 

[b]Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks:[/b] Let's get down to business, while Reiko has access to a powerful alternate form, on a basis, she is not truly that dangerous compared to the other Skulls. She has to use her experience, tactics, and skill to dispatch foes. However, she has a few weaknesses of her own. Her body is frail and easy to damage, and while she can regenerate, she can't take a lot. In a way, she's a fragile speedster. Sensory based attacks (Bright lights, strong smells, loud sounds) can do a number on Reiko's enhanced senses. Which will be extremely painful, and even damaging them. Reiko's regeneration and metabolism require more nourishment to function normally. If she goes too long without eating or drinking, she will surely degrade and waste away until she dies. Her regeneration isn't perfect either, there's a chance a broken limb will heal incorrectly if it isn't braced. Which means it'll have to be broken again. Reiko's camouflage requires her to go very slowly to allow her body to keep up, if she goes too fast she'll be visible until she stops. Then there's the usual weaknesses that turning invisible have (She can be heard/smelled, detected by an extra-sense, etc). 

However, Reiko's main drawbacks come from shifting into her Beast form. It's a powerful form, yes, but it's extremely taxing for a woman her size to shift mass into a beast. She'll require time to allow herself to transform, which can be interrupted. A incomplete transform leaves Reiko as a mix of both forms, and extremely vulnerable, she will be physically weak, and easy to injure. Until she either finishes the transformation or reverts back to her normal form. While her beast form is fast, it's not very maneuverable, running full speed can make it hard to turn. It is also incapable of the feats of agility she is normally capable of. In a way, Reiko is trading her speed and agility for raw strength, which can be a strength and a weakness. She also can't regenerate in this form, she cannot sustain a creature this large and heal at the same time. Speaking of which, while she has gained control over the Beast through years of training and mental conditioning, she will lose a large degree of her intelligence/sentience while in this form. She will be able to control herself, but she will not be at her mental peak. As she fights more and more, she will lose herself to the beast, and lose friend or foe, then everyone will be a target. She is also extra susceptible to her instincts while in this form, she will just give into her natural urges to kill and eat everyone. Reverting out of this form will leave Reiko extremely weak, and physically drained. And not just tired. It will take a massive toll on her metabolism, and she'll need to eat and sleep a ton, or she'll risk dying.

[b][u]Other:[/u][/b] Mother of everyone's favorite ten year old satan child, Jaska Valos. Reiko is a long time member of the Skulls, and raised him in secret far away from the Skulls. When it became too dangerous to keep him around, she gave him back to his Father and let him take the surname of Valos. While she continued her duties with the Skulls.
