Basics
Name: Koko Hekmatyar True Age: 28 Gender: Female Personality: Her personality is normally quite cheery and happy, sometimes even childish. Koko does not mask her emotions when around her subordinates. She will throw fits when frustrated or angered, which can include her punching some of them or rolling across a table. The only person she'll never get violent with is her personal bodyguard, Valmet. In fact, Koko goes to Valmet to calm down. She sleeps beside Valmet because she feels safer with Valmet close to her. Even when in dangerous situations, she is able to keep a clear head and actually smiles when she is in danger. The reason she smiles is that she is not afraid of weapons, even when at gunpoint. Koko is unafraid of weapons because she is in the business of selling them and believes that one should not fear one's merchandise. Despite this she can be equally ruthless and determined, making her a very dangerous opponent . She will not hesitate to use various means, including deadly force, to achieve her objectives.
However, a single action or statement by an opponent can motivate her to display mercy towards them depending on the circumstances, as she has occasionally been willing to spare them. She has a fatalistic attitude towards her own death, feeling that if it is her time to go, then so be it but if not, then she will escaped unscathed.
For her business dealings Koko only accepts payment in the form of cash although she once made an exception by accepting diamonds. She refuses to take any credit and has met attempts to pay her with drugs by having her squad immediately kill the payees. Because of the circumstances under which Echo was killed by Hex she has trouble sleeping when the moon is full, as she is reminded of the incident. Early on it was suggested that she has a tendency to sleepwalk but this was only shown once
General Appearance
Appearance: Koko is a slim young woman with extremely pale skin. She has waist-length white hair and light blue eyes that stand out like a red wine stain on a wedding dress. When she was younger she maintained it at chin length and two years later has again cut it to that length. She is very similar in appearance to her brother Kasper, although they are not twins. Koko is usually well dressed, favouring business suits or similar attire, with or without neckties. She also wears a white coat with a feather-like collar. Because she has a tendency to burn when out in the sun, Koko usually wears a broad-brimmed straw hat when outdoors for an extended period of time.
Appearance Age: 23 Height: Weight:
Natural Abilities
Natural Abilities: Unlike her subordinates, Koko typically does not fight, although she has wielded a pistol on two occasions: first when dealing with a local mafia in Africa that tried to pay with drugs, and second when being chased by Dominique, firing Ugo's Desert Eagle. She is actually a decent shot, being able to put two out of three quick shots from a Sig Sauer SP-2022 into a bullseye with the third just missing. Koko generally directs her squad's actions but also gives them a great deal of initiative. She possesses excellent tactical and strategic sense and can quickly analyse a situation and how to handle it as well as think multiple steps ahead.
Koko has excellent instincts and has come to rely on them to see her and her squad through difficult situations. She is also able to quickly size up other people and tends to be spot on with her evaluations, sometimes even when she has not previously had the chance to research the other person's background. She is generally calm when in danger due to the nature of her work, but can get unnerved when she is by herself and without her bodyguards nearby. She has an encyclopedic knowledge of weapons backed up by real world experience and is a hyperpolyglot, speaking several European languages as well as Arabic and Japanese.
Past & Roleplay Sample
Character Background: Koko's ancestors were royalty in the Ukraine. She is one of the last direct descendants of them. This is evident in her traits like her white hair and such. Because of her ancestors' being Sugiura and Shinigami, Koko has some of their spiritual traits, such as her aging stopping at age 23. However, her past is what matters now. Her mother and father worked together at a shipping conglomerate, with her father as the CEO and her mother as his secretary. The conglomerate had two big parts: the shipping aspect and the arms aspect.
Both she and Kasper were born at sea due to the nature of their father's work and they thus lack any sense of patriotism to a specific country. They were both exposed since a young age to the business of HCLI and thus have multiple passports and are used to traveling and working internationally. Lehm, Wiley, and Chiquita were the first three members of her bodyguard team when she was still a teenager. After Chiquita had left and Valmet had returned home to Finland from Africa, Koko approached her at a military base and after revealing that she knew thoroughly about her background, offered her two choices: a domestic life or the key to the world. As her military career was essentially over, Valmet opted for the latter.
Mao was the next person recruited for the squad after he had been discharged from the army following a training accident. After he joined, Koko learned that he had kept the truth of what he was doing secret from his children. Koko accepted this, but advised him to make sure that being kind would not undo him and to be proud of his comrades. While dealing with Ugo's mafia organisation, which tried to pay her with drugs, she had Mao and Valmet wiped them out but spare Ugo, because he had reacted by looking away in disgust. When she afterwards tried to probe why he had done this, he refused to disclose why. Nonetheless she offered him a job as her driver
