History
Personality
Upon first meeting the rest of the Sailor Scouts, Usagi likens Michiru to a fairy tale princess, and in terms of demeanor she is not far off. Michiru stands as an example of beauty and grace, the product of money and talent combined into one. While her childhood remains an overall mystery, hints throughout the anime suggest she has grown up with privilege. She is a prodigy in both painting and music, with her pieces regularly displayed in art galleries throughout Japan -- and at one point during the series, Michiru hands out tickets to one of her concerts to the other girls.
It gives Michiru the air of one who has everything she could ever want, spoiled by a possible life of luxury, but Michiru is anything but. In fact she is actually quite dutiful. Her life as a Sailor Scout means she is used to putting the needs of the world first, and as she is one of the Outer Scouts, she takes threats against her planet very seriously.
So seriously that deep down, Michiru isn't all that trusting of others. Part of this is a self-fulfilling prophecy; she might be seemingly demure and composed, but it means very few people are given the chance to know her on a personal level. She can come across a cold and relentless (especially while transformed as Sailor Neptune), and even while presenting as a civilian, people know her as the beautiful and talented Michiru Kaioh before they know her as anything else.
But more to the truth, Michiru is just used to getting her hands dirty for the sake of the world, and keeps people at arm's reach because of it. Her duty as a Sailor Scout means she's placed in ugly positions -- positions where she must decide who dies and who lives in order to preserve humanity. It's not a glamorous job but it's the one she's stuck with, and she will follow what she thinks is the right course of action, no matter if it paints her a villain in someone else's eyes. This type of rigid thinking is why she is sometimes opposed to the Inner Scouts "everyone must be saved" approach; Michiru finds it to be painfully idealized and more likely to hurt people than help them.
But for as stressful as being a Sailor Scout is, there is one reason why Michiru will never back down from her duty. Duty to her princess, yes, but more importantly, a duty to her partner and lover, Haruka Tenoh. The love Michiru has for her is so great that she has stated the world isn't worth saving if Haruka isn't in it. As such, she places top priority on Haruka's survival, having once even sacrificed herself to keep the other woman alive. There isn't anything she wouldn't do for her.
First Impressions
▶ VISUAL: Michiru is of average height and build for a woman, with voluptuous teal hair that cascades down to her shoulders. The type of clothing she wears varies, but usually it gives off the air of someone with money.
▶ DEMEANOR: Michiru is well-mannered and calm, always speaking with sophistication but never giving much information about herself. She is also prone to subtle, teasing barbs when she's in a good mood... though when she is irritated, her demeanor is cloudy and authoritative. As Sailor Neptune, she can be downright intimidating and stubborn in her perspectives, especially when she feels the fate of the world is resting on her shoulders.
▶ SOUND: Since I play Michiru primarily from the 90s anime, I rp her with Masako Katsuki in mind. A very light, elegant voice.
▶ SCENT: Of expensive soaps and subtle perfumes, but also with the lingering scent of the sea.
▶ MENTAL INFO: A lot of her thought process goes into deciding what must be done to protect the world, so there's a level of cunning always running in the backdrop of her thoughts.
Abilities
▶ Precognition: Michiru is able to determine the future through visions and predictions. The full extent of her abilities is never expanded upon, but she is able to correctly decipher who will be a victim during the Death Busters Arc, and it's her vision of the end of the world which leads her to recruiting Sailor Uranus.
▶Enhanced Endurance: While transformed into Sailor Neptune, she is able to take far more damage than a regular human, making her difficult to kill in combat.
▶ Deep Submerge: Neptune's most prominent attack, where she will blast enemies with an orb that draws on energy from the deep sea.
▶ Deep Sea Mirror: One of three powerful talismans carried by the Outer Scouts. Michiru's is a mirror that can dispel illusions, boost the accuracy of her precognitive abilities, and also will unleash an attack called Submarine Reflection, which shoots out a torrent of water from the mirror.
▶ Transformation Wand: In order to transform into Sailor Neptune, Michiru must draw on the power of her wand and recite the word "Neptune Planet Power, Make-up!" Without the wand, she is stuck in her civilian form.
Extra
▶ I welcome ships with Michiru, though given how she's in an established ship, it'll only work in an AU or with some serious revisions to canon.
▶ AU Preferences: arranged marriage, soulmates, historical, fairy tales/fae/magic, holy grail wars, honestly anything is free game bc I love AUs
▶ Content Preferences: detailed psls; slow-burn romances; battle scenes; I also prefer the potential for messy relationships with Michiru in particular
▶ Do Not Want: crack threads, PWP
▶ Warnings: I play Michiru as a lesbian, so just keep that in mind for ships. I'm more than happy to rp her against guys, but the dynamics won't be romantic.
