In-depth Character Personality:

-Makoto learned at an unfortunately young age how to rely on herself and only herself in order to succeed in life. On the outside she is quite the loyal and caring friend, being the one with strong shoulder for just about everyone to lean on. She is very direct in her manner of speech, yet there is a soft, delicate nature in how she conveys her message. Makoto can be accurately described as an effeminate tomboy

-There is a strong dual nature to Makoto in that she is both extremely masculine and quite feminine at the same time. This is a possible result that came from her having to pretty much raise herself and act in place of the feminine and masculine influences in her life that would have been her parents if they survived their plane crash. It is just as likely to see her smashing beer cans on her head during a sports party as it is to see her contemplating what flowers to plant for the best ambience in her garden. It's contradictory and confusing to people who pay attention. It has been claimed she can beautifully reorganize her home with a sledgehammer. There is real middle ground in Makoto’s personality only two extremes that both contradict and complement each other.

-One thing that is truly consistent about Makoto is her willingness to solve problems with brute force. Whereas her other friends and fellow Senshi prefer to think about a solution, Makoto is already set on kicking down the door. If that approach doesn't work, it just means you didn't hit the problem hard enough.

-Yet again, contradicting her strong preference to do violence, Makoto is a very sweet and patient individual with most people, and is quick to get lost in her own daydreaming in just about any situation outside of her duty as a senshi.

-As Sailor Jupiter, Makoto does not change all that much in personality, yet she pushes aside a lot of her sweet quirks, and focuses on directly dealing with the mission at hand. The Soldier of Protection, Jupiter knows she can take a lot more damage than her fellow Senshi and takes the vanguard approach, acting as the first line of offense for the team and the first line of defense as well. This often leads to Sailor Jupiter taking the brunt of many attacks with her often reckless, yet effective, style of combat.

Name Sailor Jupiter

Realm of Influence: Electricity and Wood
Transformation Phrase: Jupiter /Star/Planet/Crystal Power Make-Up
Colors: Green and Pink
Items: Senshi Communication Network Device, Transformation Pen, Rose Earrings, Her fists!
Powers: Makoto innately possesses an incredible amount of physical strength, agility, and endurance giving her the ability to tackle problems that require more brawn than brains, even when not transformed. She has always been referred to as the “muscle” of the Inner Senshi because of this, and with her skills as an accomplished martial artist, Sailor Jupiter is a very dangerous combatant up close. This benefit also suits her very hands on homelife as well. Currently, the only Senshi, or Knight, known to be as physically strong as Jupiter is Uranus, which may no longer be the case, as Makoto has aged a bit more, and become much more experienced.

Attack 1: Supreme Thunder: Allowing a small lightning rod to emerge from her tiara, Sailor Jupiter harnesses the cosmic electricity of the universe. A mass of electric energy descends from out of nowhere upon the lightning rod, and in turn surrounds her in a vicious aura. Sailor Jupiter in turn can direct the current in a focused blast of lightning that tends to be merciless to her enemies. Those struck by the Supreme Thunder are usually electrocuted and knocked down at the same time. Sailor Jupiter has been shown to vary the intensity of this skill and could act as an electric conduit or make it strong enough to be a finishing blow to a monster.


Mission:
To defend the realms of Jupiter and the entire Galaxy from any and all threats that wish to do them harm. To forever protect and serve her majesty Neo-Queen Serenity.

The Silver Millennium was an ancient time of prosperity and peace, yet even then the great Queen knew she needed guardians for her family, for her kingdom. The realm of Jupiter was the first to oblige, harnessing its raw and courageous power to willingly be the first to answer any call to arms Serenity issued. In Io Castle Princess Jupiter was born into this legacy, being blessed with an incredible strength and the charge of protecting the Princess of the Moon when she came of age.
Princess Jupiter took her duty with the utmost sincerity, becoming a beautiful warrior that few could equal, and harnessed the power of a host of knights at her beck and call. Of this host was her Knight of Ganymede, the regal cup bearer, Ethon Aras.

Jupiter and Ganymede became extremely close over their mutual love of surpassing their own physical limitations, sheer determination, and devotion to their duty. She confided within him everything, all of her secrets, and trusted him more than anyone else, even more so than her own family. Not even the Princess of the Moon received this kind of confidence, though the two young women grew quite close. It seemed the peace of the Silver Millennium would be preserved under the watch of Jupiter and the other princesses, until the great war suddenly sparked, and her skills would be put to the test.

The planetary guardians and their knights fought to keep the Princess Serenity, with Jupiter striking down every foe who came near, no matter the challenge they presented her with. Drawn into the lust of battle, she held her position protecting her charge, but became separated from her knights. She did not realize there was a dagger behind her till the blade thrust deep into her back, piercing her heart. In her dying throes, Princess Jupiter took her assailant down with her, in one last attempt not knowing if it worked, laying down her life in defending Princess Serenity in one final act of loyalty. Through this, her thunderous strength and courage would return one day followed with the words “I will never lose.”



The life of one Makoto Kino changed a good hundred years ago when she ended up saving the life of Usagi Tsukino from being hit by a car as well as from an oncoming baseball. Up to that point, she had been living a harsh and hard life, having lost her parents in a plane crash not too long before transferring to Usagi’s school, and living completely alone. Makoto had rapidly matured in a short time, developed her dual nature as well as her sense of self reliance all the while most girls at this time were focused on simpler things in life. She was considered almost a social outcast for her gruff, sometimes brutal exterior. Usagi saw otherwise.

It was not until a great trick played by Nephrite in using Motoki Furuhata occurred that Makoto came into being as Sailor Jupiter, a transformation of rage in which she took it all out on the fallen knight, killing the man, and leaving nothing left.

It took some time for the tall, tomboyish, and rather active middle school girl to realize that she was the reincarnation of Princess Jupiter and the Soldier of Protection and Thunder known as Sailor Jupiter. The sole mission that Makoto had at that time was to ensure that Usagi stayed alive, a rather tall order given how accident prone Princess Serenity’s reincarnation was.

In the quest to find herself, her mission, and follow her dreams, Makoto would end up on numerous occasions nearly making the ultimate sacrifice. Each time, however, she came back stronger and even more determined than ever.

It was not too long after the defeat of the Death Phantom that the Outer Senshi became revealed and Makoto met her friendly rival, Haruka Tenoh, and the two have been on again off again at each other ever since. Even to this day it is possible to see Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Uranus taking occasional pot shots at the other during meetings in which all the Inner and Outer Senshi convene. Makoto believes she has surpassed Haruka by this point, but there has never been an opportune moment to test that theory.

The peacetime after the events at the Galaxy Cauldron was originally suspicious in Makoto’s eyes. She had been fighting for over three years straight and was not entirely convinced the guardians were at peace. This was a perfect time however to finish her education, and learn some new martial art skills as the new empire surrounded by a blossoming Tokyo began. The teenaged tomboy aged very slowly, and nowadays passes for around the age of twenty-four as a full grown woman. Makoto softened a little with experience and split her role as a civilian and a soldier for a little while before the peace ended.

Sailor Jupiter took on the role in the Senshi High Command as the the close quarters combat trainer for all the rest of the Senshi that began to spring up during the peacetime. Her concern for the lack of martial training that they knew or had received was disappointing at best. What was the point of defending the galaxy if you couldn’t throw a proper punch at the very least. Most would come to know Sailor Jupiter’s sessions to be rather grueling and intense, but when one thought about it, they would always look back to see her pleasantly smiling and encouraging them on, or at least bribing them with fresh home cooked meals.

Makoto Kino, however, felt stronger than she had ever been before and her dream of opening a bakery was finally realized at this time. With a quirky name “Batter Up” as a catchy advertisement for a bakery, the patrons came flooding in by the masses as word spread throughout the city. She had succeeded in garnering success through delicious treats as a way of showing the world she was more than what they had assumed. A coffee shop, that was dwindling in business, suddenly sprang to life next door, being a consistent import for her baked goods, and Makoto quickly had to meet the demand of her patrons by hiring several employees, while also maintaining her duties as Sailor Jupiter. The bakery and coffee shop are actually connected via a beautiful flower garden courtyard that was planted by Makoto herself. She actually manages the bakery by this point from a distance, having increasingly become caught up in her duties as a Senshi to meet more protective demands along with new warriors.

Jupiter has numerous moons, and several systems in its realm of influence, which meant for Sailor Jupiter that the potential was there for several guardians to appear under her own leadership. Makoto never had the best of skills when it came to leading others, and on a scale from Moon to Uranus, she veered rather sharply to Haruka’s independent methods. Sailor Jupiter did however know how to be part of the team under the direction of the other Inner Senshi, she is uncertain how she can lead others by herself outside of what she was good at.

Much to Makoto’s dismay, her dream of being a doting wife has still not been achieved. She has tried, oh she has tried, but it seems that even to this day, she cannot hold onto any form of stable romance for more than a short period of time. It's a depressing topic she occasionally shares around the rest if the Inner Senshi, but rarely anyone else. Makoto admits she hasn't given up saying “I'm too stubborn to lose.”

When Neo-Queen Serenity and King Endymion disappeared, Makoto was the first to go searching for them, having traced all of their known locations and footsteps as best as she could, going far along the celestial bodies, and all over Earth. Everywhere that Crystal Tokyo had reach, Sailor Jupiter left no stone unturned, only to return empty handed on every single occasion. Her final search ended just in time for The Dark Legion to show up.

The ensuing chaos from The Dark Legion’s arrival was not a welcome sight on top of a missing King and Queen, and with the young princess about to assume the throne, the Senshi High Command was in almost complete chaos. Sailor Venus took charge of the Inner Council,and immediately set to work in organizing how they were going to deal with the threats to the realm. Sailor Jupiter was selected to maintain her duty as the close quarters combat instructor for all the Senshi, as well as her old position as a frontline fighter for all incoming threats. Makoto initially disagreed with the latter citing the search for the queen and king was more pressing, but when the celestial powers began wane, her martial skills started to become more important in favor of unleashing torrents of energy. Someone else was going to have to find the Queen and King, someone else would have to figure things out. For Makoto, her mission was different. Protect the realms, protect the other guardians, protect herself, and let everyone else do what is necessary.

They had taken the fight to an old abandoned building, away from civilians, but into greater danger. She had warned the two against using the unstable location, but they insisted it was the right course of action.

“It couldn't be helped,” Makoto sighed to herself, leaning up against the same building that she was concerned about, foot tapping impatiently. “I hope they are alright.”

It was an uncharacteristic move for the Soldier of Protection, standing there in winter street clothes, waiting on the sidelines. The younger guardians inside would call for aid if they needed it, though they had no idea that someone was already standing outside. Her transformation pen was already in hand, gleaming with a pale emerald light against the white of the falling snow. Winter had a way of creating a rather peaceful ambience in the world, a beauty that would distract from the sounds of war within.

A short distraction as the wall she was leaning against suddenly shook from the force of the guardians combining their efforts inside. The foundation cracked began to crumble to Makoto’s left and right. An avalanche of debris flowed from each side, and filled the alleyway as a couple of stories from the old building gave way in this location. Most of what remained were the upper floors and the large slab of concrete that she was still leaning against. The piece of what was once the wall had become heavier and heavier, pushing against Makoto’s back, who was growing increasingly impatient, rather than straining under the high weight.

Having waited long enough, a few moments later to be exact, Makoto impatiently lifted her transformation pen calling “Jupiter Cryst...no that doesn't seem right?” There was a fluctuation with her planetary focus, and Makoto found herself initially confused, staring at the faint light of her pen. The glimmer was an older feeling, a less powerful feeling. Without thinking, the words leapt from her tongue, “Jupiter Power Make Up!”

A lightning bolt struck down from the sky, vaporizing the concrete slab, along with some of the debris, revealing the Soldier of Thunder and Courage standing tall and ready for action. Makoto realized this was her original form, the original weave of Sailor Jupiter, but now was not the time to question it, there was still a fight that needed to be finished. She was transformed, and that meant a swift end to this battle was to follow.

Green laced boots clambered over debris and rickety walkways, finding footing haphazardly along the ground. Sailor Jupiter rapidly rushed to where she still heard the fighting going on, though it sounded as if the guardians down below, within the atrium had the upper hand.

She arrived just in time to see the golden flash of their efforts, the monster, a hideous cloaked creature with antlers, being incinerated into dust. The flash sent a shock through the building, almost throwing her off balance. It was a shock that screamed at her legs to start moving or be buried as more of the structure began to give way with an unkind buckling creek. Sailor Jupiter knew the two below would not escape fast enough. They weren't experienced to know instinctively know those sounds meant “Run!” her voice shouted at the two who were standing in their uncertainty.

The guardians were finally starting to move when Makoto was on top of them, already moving faster in that moment.. By instinct as if she saw her fellow Inner Senshi of the past, her hands had already grabbed the two before they could begin to flee, hoisting them along with each hand. They were ripped up from the ground and over each shoulder as her run broke into a sprint towards the collapsing entrance. She was too focused on running out of the building to hear their surprised gasps at being suddenly snatched up out of nowhere, to where their struggles against her vice grip were barely noticed. Faster, faster, must go faster. The sight of the collapsing building around her seemed to fade, her vision tunneled to just the exit. Even faster, almost there.

The building coughed a large gout of dust and smoke as Sailor Jupiter, with her quarry in hand, burst out of the exit just as it collapsed. She found her footing, still moving as quickly as she could to get away from the disaster area, skidding to a halt one block down from the old city, finally, giving the two younger guardians a chance to regain their bearings and realize that they weren’t just kidnapped by some sort of green and pink behemoth, but rather it was on their own allies.

“I think we were a bit close there?” Makoto’s soft voice replied while helping them stand back on their own feet, confused remarks coming from each of them. “I know I know, I decided to tag along this area isn’t exactly the safest, even when I used to live here.”

There was almost a comment of a lack of faith to which the Soldier of Protection responded rather quickly. “You took care of the real problem, the day is yours. You two probably would have made it out fine, I just got a cramp in my leg,” Her laughter was enough to disarm the situation, making sure the two realized that she was not trying to be overprotective, even if protecting the other guardians was part of her mission.

They had parted ways at this point, Sailor Jupiter on her way back to Senshi High Command. The environment was risky but, they had carried out the necessary mission and took care of the creature which had been hunted for the past six days, and no one had to die. Tapping a small metallic piece in her ear.

“Venus,” The communication device came to life in her ear with a sing song hum. “They’re ready.”
