Powers/Abilities: Toxic Love
Miyako created the concoction known as TOXIC LOVE during her senior year in high school to combat the limitations set by being human, an Omega and by society. Initially, she didn’t know if she would survive the injection, but the pros outweigh the cons. TOXIC LOVE is a toxin secreted from Miyako’s pores that causes different effects depending on dosage and strength.
Level 1: Hallucination, sedation, slowed movement, pain
Level 2: Mutation, nerve damage, paralysis, pain
Level 3: Acid-poison, death, necrosis inducement, organ damage/failure, pain
Level 4: Aphrodisiac
This toxin is a pink ooze that’s odorless and tasteless. The most effective means is by swallowing it though skin-on-skin contact will work. Clothes, armor, scales, fur and other non-human skin may slow the progression of the infection or completely stop it. If the person is contaminated from touching it (such as left on a table surface) the effects lessen or become null; however, the ooze disappears after 30 minutes. Additionally, Miyako is poisonous as TOXIC LOVE is in her bloodstream and if someone bites her then they will become infected.
Miyako is not completely immune to poisons, but she can ingest them slowly to gain immunity.
Toxikinetic CombatMiyako is one of the most effective human fighters when it comes to using her toxin in combat, but overall deals damage over time. While she may not have superhuman abilities, she can hold her own in a fight. She focuses on penetrating her enemies’ skin using her knives or stilettos in order to use TOXIC LOVE at its full strength. When that can’t be done, she’ll use skin-on-skin contact to deal damage over time until the enemy is subdued.
Stiletto Weapon ProficiencyMiyako uses two tungsten stiletto as her main weapons of choice. Often disguised as hair pin accessories, she uses them effectively against close ranged enemies. She always has them on her person whether strapped to her leg or in her hair. Her ‘snake bites’ are her calling card when taking down enemies.
Knife ProficiencyWhen Miyako can’t use her stilettos, she will use her knives that are usually strapped to her leg. Her proficiency in them enables her to use trick moves to misdirect or feint her enemies or simply hook into her target to infect them with TOXIC LOVE. Her accuracy is 99% with the rare occasion she fails. She often uses knives to disable her opponents or to make a swift silent kill.
FightingMiyako knows several forms of martial arts, and can hold her own in a fight. She focuses on using her legs to swipe an enemy down in order to use her weapons or TOXIC LOVE.
Stealth ModeMiyako’s training as an assassin enables her to enter a stealth mode to slip past enemies and area undetected. However, she is human and can still be detected by technology.
Acting MasteryMiyako grew up pretending she was something she’s not, and this transitioned her into becoming a master. She’s able to swiftly switch between personas and impersonate most people. Her true emotions and nature are concealed until she allows them to be revealed. She rarely makes mistakes or Cracks under pressure.
Omega InterferenceWhere many people are able to become one with their inner secondary gender, Miyako does not. Ever since she bloomed as an Omega, she’s hated her secondary gender believing to make her weak. This unfortunately has caused torment for both sides. Her inner Omega will use pheromones against her. Anyone Miyako expressed a small interest in will become ill and can no longer be in her presence. This has caused Miyako to use scent blockers on occasion, take strong medication for her heats, and to use a powerful birth control to prevent any mishaps while on missions.
It isn’t until recent developments that Miyako discovered her inner Omega can turn TOXIC LOVE into an aphrodisiac, but only through consuming the pink ooze.
Personality: An assassin since birth, Miyako has been trained to use every part of herself as a killing machine. She doesn’t know how many she’s murdered, but the cash is worth it. Ever since she betrayed her family, she’s been happier than she’s ever been. Using her hard earned money on shopping sprees and purchasing jewelry, her fascination with them came when she obtained the Necklace of Harmonia, rumored to bestow tragedies and madness to all that held it. Since then, she’s started a collection of cursed jewelry, and keeps them safely hidden away. Likewise, she has a small hobby of collecting serial killer weaponry.
Miyako’s mental stability should always be questioned. The consequences of using TOXIC LOVE wreaking havoc on her psyche to the point where she has days her mind isn’t ‘put together’. She’s unstable, and will find any reason to stab a person regardless if they’re innocent or not. During these times, The Organization will send her out on murder sprees where she’ll slaughter anyone in sight and in brutal fashion. The only person able to handle her during these moments is the leader, but it’s speculated the leader only makes it worse. Even when Miyako is ‘sane’, Cracks will show and the madness can be seen in her eyes. This leads to becoming overly possessive of whatever she labels hers whether it’s objects or people. Through the years of producing TOXIC LOVE, Miyako developed a masochist side, but she’s never let anyone dominate her sexually; at least, not without killing them soon after.
Friends are something Miyako wouldn’t think she would ever have. She can count on one hand how many she considers such, and would do anything for them. Her loyalty to them and The Organization is unfettered so much so that she’s been tested several times and each time coming out the other end. Miyako comes across as opinionated and arrogant, but she’s firm in her beliefs that people should overcome their weaknesses and to remain stagnant is failure. She’ll give junior assassins some tough love, but it means she wants to see them grow stronger.
Miyako considers herself a gem that should be gazed at, but never touched. She sometimes believes she’s cursed, never to fall in love or have a normal life outside assassinations. This is why she enjoys watching trashy drama television shows because the people are selfish and aren’t thinking about how to climb through a third story window to kill the smuggler. She has a low alcohol tolerance, and can get drunk quite easily; surprisingly, this helps deter the madness and keeps murdering thoughts away.

Appearance: History: To Japan and the world, the Saitō family are ordinary people. Generation after generation have lived in Sendai, northeast of Tokyo, and are unremarkable and forgettable. Any Saitō member who didn’t adhere to that rule were murdered and covered up to be an accidental death. That is how they want everyone to see them, and this would’ve continued on if it wasn’t for the massacre.
The Saitō family are the Senbai Yakuza’s assassins. Generations of born killers faithfully carried out orders from simple blackmail to murdering politicians, but by the 1980s there weren't many Saitōs left. Head of the clan Tsubaki, a female Alpha, was pressured on continuing the family line and was forced to marry a sweet Omega named Shingo. Unfortunately for the couple, they had fertility issues and miscarriages trying to reproduce, but Tsubaki would stop at nothing to ensure the Saitō line continued. It went as far as threatening to divorce Shingo if he didn’t carry to full term. Eventually, Shingo would give birth to three children, but the most important one in this story is Miyako, the second child. Shingo’s body would start to fail on him after the birth of their third child, and he was constantly bedridden shortly thereafter.
Miyako knew from a young age she would have to follow in her family’s footsteps regardless if she wanted to or not. She was beaten to follow family tradition, and remain unremarkable. This followed her to school. Her early elementary years saw average grades, no friends and no reason to dream. What was her purpose other than to become a killer? Her days filled with training until she passed out from either hunger or exhaustion, she made excuses for her bruises if anyone asked. She would become an assassin like her parents and grandparents before her.
That was until one day she began experimenting in science class. The lesson was easy, simply mixing harmless chemicals together to create a new one with an explanation on atoms and how they interact. Miyako was amazed, and fell in love. Her grades swiftly improved allowing her to enter a prestigious middle school where she entered their science program. Tsubaki hated Miyako for disobeying the rules, and it didn’t matter the punishment or length of training, Miyako continued to excel in school. Shingo was proud of her, and supported her in silence.
Miyako hoped she would become an Alpha or even a Beta, but when puberty hit and she blossomed into an Omega she hated it. She felt her entire life crumbling around her. An Omega Saitō meant being married off and having children with someone she didn’t like; the thought of becoming like her father made her angry. But, she wouldn’t allow it. No. She wouldn’t become like Shingo or the other Saitōs. She would be different. Miyako used this to fuel her studies, pushing her beyond what her peers and classmates performed. It had to be perfect, the first thought of the many times that would spark her OCD disorder to ensure she came out on top.
Her high school years saw a different Miyako. She shined in academics by studying rigorously, and this was noticed by Kenta Nakashima, the heir of the Senbai Yakuza. The two often competed for top score much to the horror of Tsubaki who demanded Miyako stand down and not embarrass them. Miyako would not, and this became trouble. Shinsuke, head of the Senbai Yakuza, proposed, no, demanded that the two should get married. Tsubaki agreed, and with that, Miyako’s future shattered. Her worst nightmare would come true. She cried in Shingo’s arms about her fate, and how she hated her mother for doing this to her. Shingo told Miyako that hate would only poison her heart. He didn’t know that Miyako would take those words literally.
Miyako continued her training, learning hand-to-hand combat, acting and improving her flexibility through dance lessons. On her sixteenth birthday, she infiltrated a bathhouse under the guise of a bath attendant and child prostitute. She poisoned the politicians' drinks, stole the documents hidden in their locker and left. She had used her looks to her advantage especially with Alphas smelling her blackberry scent. She used this theory on unsuspecting classmates and shortly began to receive gifts much to the chagrin of Kenta. Miyako had no interest in them, but it didn’t stop her from performing social experiments. It went as far as procuring special chemicals from a son of pharmaceutical parents.
Six months before graduation, there was a meeting between the Nakashimas and Saitōs on the future of Kenta and Miyako. They would wed after graduation, and Miyako would tend to the house. She would become a stay-at-home mother, host parties and care for the children. The agreement even had clauses on when the two were expected to have their first child and other heavy expectations. Tsubaki expected Miyako to act out, rage against the decision, but her daughter remained all smiles and calm. Finally, she thought, Miyako understood her place in the world.
Kenta and Miyako graduated and were to be wed. Friends, family, yakuza members - everyone important was invited and expected to attend. Miyako oversaw every minute detail to ensure everything was perfect from the ceremony hall to the reception room. The two exchanged their vows and were married. Everyone came to the reception area and dined on fine wine and delicious food; no expense was spared and it showed. Everyone was having such a good time that no one suspected a thing when a guest here or there went to the bathroom feeling sick. It was chalked up to drinking too much or eating too quickly, but those theories died when someone vomited blood.
Groups of people began falling to the ground, holding their stomachs and throats as their bodies spasm from organ failure and nerve damage. They cried out for help, and the only one unaffected was Miyako. When Kenta fell onto Miyako, begging for help, she held his head and stared into her red eyes only seeing hate. Then, she used a steak knife to stab him in the jugular and watch him bleed out. Those still alive witnessed Miyako laugh maniacally while holding the head of her beloved husband. Those up close could see pink ooze dripping from her hands. Miyako set the building on fire and left. Later, when firefighters put out the flames and the bodies counted, some swore they heard laughter and glimpses of a woman in white. There are rumors the other two Saitō children survived the massacre, but their whereabouts are unknown.
Miyako created TOXIC LOVE, a toxin that would either kill her or grant her powers. She took the risk and injected herself with it even if it would’ve killed her. Death would’ve been more favorable than having to marry Kenta and into a life of servitude for the Nakashima family. She endured pain unlike any other, every pore screaming at her as pink ooze spilled forth. The formula worked, and she emerged tired, but now in control of her future.
Shortly after arriving in Russia, Miyako received an invitation to join The Organization - an assassin guild that held a reputation for being the best. Seeing it as a way to make money, she went through a series of trials and tests before becoming a full member; out of a group of 27 people, she and three others survived. Miyako would be paired up with Xanthe - another assassin - and Ivan, her handler. They did well together, bringing down shadow governments and rebellions that would otherwise tip the world into war. Miyako spent years honing her skills. Ivan gifted her two golden stilettos that she would use in combat to puncture the target's bodies to inject her TOXIC LOVE; they would become two of her prized possessions.
Despite the newfound freedom, Miyako never found love. While she has been on numerous dates and asked her hand in marriage no less than three times, no one has ever caught her attention. She doesn’t discriminate between the secondary genders, but she’s seeking someone who can control her. She knows the more she uses TOXIC LOVE, the more her mind splits apart. There are days when her mind isn’t ‘pieced together’ and she wanders her home trying to ‘find the answer’ to a question only she knows. Xanthe and Ivan have done all they can to help her, but over the years it’s gotten worse. Eventually, she’ll have to retire and seek treatment, but until then, she’ll continue being an assassin as it gives her meaning.
Miyako’s return to Japan is to find the leader of the so-called ghost hunting group SPIRIT, and extract information from him. She’s to report to her leader any leads or information, no matter how trivial or useless it may be. Why the hunt for SPIRIT is unknown to Miyako, but she’ll complete the mission no matter what. Unfortunately, she has to keep it a secret from Xanthe and Ivan so her cover up is returning to Japan to find a house to settle down in. The hunt begins.
