A-ko

A-ko (from the Project A-ko films)

Sixteen years after the destruction of Tokyo in a meteor strike, Graviton City has emerged in its place. A-ko, a teenage girl with incredible physical powers, has just tranferred to Graviton High School along with her best friend, the disgustingly cute C-Ko. Unfortunately everyone, from an obsessed classmate to invading aliens, wants C-ko to themselves, forcing a reluctant A-Ko to use her incredible strength and power to save her friend time and time again.

APPEARANCE: A-Ko is a tall and buxom (but not excessively so) girl with long red hair. When not wearing the seifuku uniform of Graviton High School she dresses as fashionably as her budget will allow. She always wears a matched pair of bracers on her wrists, which help her control her strength. Although she has lived all her life in Japan, speaks the language perfectly and thinks of herself as Japanese, she is apparently not of Japanese descent. Her origin may have something to do with the pair of legendary American superheroes who settled in Graviton after the disaster....

POWERS AND TACTICS: With incredible physical strength and agility, A-ko is a brawler without equal. Although she has little combat training, she is a clever and cunning fighter who uses what she has to advantage. She will hold back when fighting a more "normal" adversary, but against mecha or an opponent who can take it she goes all-out. In addition to being amazingly strong, she's fast as well -- a great deal of incidental destruction has come about simply when A-ko is late for school and tries to get in at Mach 3 to compensate (more often than not pulling a screaming C-ko behind her).

MOTIVATION: C-ko is the best friend A-ko has, and she will do anything not to lose her. Aside from that, A-ko wants to live the life of a normal teenage schoolgirl, with no worries more pressing than watching her weight, keeping up her grades, and finding a nice boyfriend. Unfortunately, she has been forced into the role of C-ko's full-time protector, because her friend is desried so intentely by so many people.
