Junko Gekido [Milestone A]&[First Mastery][WIP]

Junko lived the life as a wandering soul bent on vengeance toward anyone that had wrong her. She did this out in the wild lands far from known distracts. Everything changed when she became a shinigami during a dire battle that left her the only one left standing. Through great loss and emotional turmoil she clung to her new power and used it to punish the wicked. This ended when the Gotei learn of her existence and captured her.

Now Imprisoned by the Gotei and given two options, serve, or loss power(at the chance of death). As a caged animal Junko slowly became receptive of the idea to serve and the understanding that working here gave her bigger chances to find her family one day. Thus after her rehabilitation from a nomad to a graduate at the academy in only four years, The Gotei have instilled loyalty and obedience within Junko. Soon she is ordered to meet with the lieutenant of squad five for a interview on joining A1.Letter of Recommendation [Closed W/Kasumi]

Weeks go by as Junko starts training with her squad, during one late night Junko encounters a man named Shinpei who helps teach Junko a few moves and accidental knocks him out with a choke hold. However another turn of events happens as it starts to snow changing Junko’s mood drastically (tie in with Kasumi’s snow event) A2.I Love a Hateful Woman [Closed W/Shinpei]

She takes Shinpei back to his home and makes him food, her mood has drastically reverted back to when she was a twelve year old due to the magical nature of the snow. Thus Shinpei gets to learn Junko’s past and what drives her. Unfortunately for Shinpei the snow wears off when he starts to make his moves, she refuses to stay the night and leaves feeling that she has repaid her debt of hurting him earlier with the choke hold.

Junko is then tasked with escorting the girly looking Kohara Moriya. A3 Run Ragged [Closed | Junko ] Junko however does not care one second how someone looks. Though it is nice to see a well groomed man from time to time. Junko however is all business when she is on the clock, while Moriya tries to break through with his flirting tendency. Though one thing does stick out, Junko’s unyielding nature to make sure Moriya makes it back in one piece. She does truly care about the well being of her comrades, but to not get too close, she remains distant as to avoid pain should they be killed. In regards to Moriya however a bond seed has already been planted for Junko, it's only a matter of time before Junko begins to care more then she would like too.


Junko’s first trip out into the human world has her meeting her arch enemy Quincy Rick Rogers A4.Purifying hollows[closed/Rick] What was to be a standard clear and sweep of a pack of hollows turned into a game of cat and mouse. Rick the cat, Junko the mouse, the cheese the hollows in a chase were Junko had to purify the hollows before rick destroyed them completely. This battle pushed Junko to her limits both physically and mentally. Mentally Junko struggles with dealing with the loss of loved ones via normal means, she knows their soul will rebirth else. With Quincy however, they kill souls forever permanently, and this strikes a chord so deep within Junko she will give everything, including her life to prevent souls from being permanently destroyed. On the Physical side of things Rick out ranged Junko so much that if it was not for spirit saving her, she would have been killed. It was fluke luck at best, but Rick was the enemy she needed to face to push herself forward to becoming stronger.

After returning from her mission involving the Quincy, Junko was ordered to report too squad 3''s seated Senrakushi Jinhai Wang for an assessment of her lack of improvement aka no first release yet. A5.The leaf buds of Yggdrasil[Closed/Jinhai Wang] The obedience instilled by the Gotei, she obeyed the higher ranking Shinigami, sharing details they she would tell no one unless ordered too. During this Jinhai asks several pointed questions and observation that struck a nerve within Junko, and made her have a mental break down. Jinhai was successful in aiding Junko out of this break down, and gleaming much needed info on her lack of progression. However due to the never ending workload of every Shinigami, further investigation has been delayed and left to Junko to answer herself.

As a result of Jinhai’s intervention days prior, Junko found herself taking her frustration out on squad fives training grounds late at night, unable to sleep herself. A5.5Great place to sleep, bad way to meet.[closed/Junko] Another Squad five member also thought it was a good idea to do the same thing, they however fell asleep at the training grounds. Junko’s disturbance woke them up, he introduce himself as Malix.  Her “comrade” kept trying to assume Junko’s problems and she was in the stage where she wanted to explain nothing to anyone, though Junko saw that she was being to harsh and gave in eventually, offered some advice and continued training. Malix didn't seem receptive of the idea and left. This shows that while Junko has improved she still struggles at times.

Junko’s second mission in the human world had her meeting up with a shinigami called Feng A6.A New Reaper's Duties [Junko | Tokyo] Two silence down to business types save many plus’s from being eatin by hollows. Junko adopts some sort of leadership position naturall and Feng appears nice enough to follow regardless of any internal thoughts he may have. The duo make effective work clear out the town, Junko’s suggested method as using a plus as bait was refused by Feng. Junko agreed with Feng in the end, but she felt that the soul would have been fine either way. The way she understood it souls don't remember anything when they pass over, thus being eaten by a hollow and shortly dispatch wouldn't make any difference. Either way Junko showed adapting to her teammates desire and changed the plan, they soon detected a larger hollow closing on a group of pulse, Feng intercepted it while Junko Konso’ed the plus’s. Feng was locked into a dire battle and needed back up quickly. Junko managed to reach him just in time, to defeat the hollow together. Junko showed concern for his wounds, in which he refused to leave when the mission was not fully done. Much to Junko’s dismay, she agreed. After the mission Feng would be relieved due to his wounds and would return to the SS. Junko would change mission area and continued the patrol.

During Junko’s new patrol A7.In Need Of Help [Junko/Closed] just after the events with Feng. The redhead encounters a formidable hollow that has done great damage to Junko. During the last moments of the fight a human by the name of Shion comes to assist Junko. However the hollow had other plans and targeted the human, forcing Junko to protect her. The resulting outcome was enough to put Junko out of the battle, though by doing so she saved Shion, would then took the window provided to defeat the hollow with her unique powers. In turn saving Junko. Shion would then take the shinigami back to her home and assist in patching her up, share some food and beer, and talk. This unique situation of being saved by shion for Junko, planted a deep seed that will surely turn into a bond the next time they meet. Showing a specific way one can get closer to Junko.

Why do you deserve the Milestone? Explain to us what happened and how it has affected your character
As mentioned in my Meta
Milestone A (8 or so threads revolving around meeting people and building first impressions, during this seeds will be planted within Junko's soul, these seeds have the ability to grow into more than just acquaintances. This theme is central to Junko's character and her connection with her Zan Spirit)

This milestone is the sum of the progress of this theme, meeting others and Junko figuring out her new life as a soul reaper. Junko does bury herself in her work and may not make the best first impressions with those she meets. I would consider this a change from her academy days where she was NPC and these threads her first foray as a PC interacting with the player base and trying to find her spot in the military structure of the Gotei physical and mentally.

Thus this is what has changed

• In The academy, she was anti-social due to her past. She was forcefully recruited into the Gotei and place under guard in what would be called psychiatric care ward. She has thus changed and be rehabilitated into as functioning member of the Gotei.
  
• From letters of recommendation from the academy, Junko Joined Squad five after her interview with Kasumi 2nd seat of squad five.
  
• The next events are mainly just meeting others while performing the tasks that fit her Squads duties.
• While Junko may be rehabilitated there is still things with her past she wants to solve, though she will need to reach out to others for help.
• Even though Junko tries to avoid making bonds with other people, they will still slip past her guard, and she will soon face consequence that occur when you care about others. This will bring the cycle of fear, that comes with losing the ones close to you. The short form of this is basically, she is not as anti-social anymore, she is slowly opening up. Milestone B will show this conflict further.
  

As per my meta
Milestone B: (Discovering and improving these deep bonds while still meeting new contacts. The focus on enemies will increase in this arc to foster dire needs for Junko and her bonds. This will deal with Junko suffering a setback of some kind or the loss or injury or kidnapping of one of her bonds.)
pretty straightforward for the next arc of her story, however I leave organic play to make surprises as per normal!!
