[CHARACTER INFO]
CHARACTER NAME: Sasami Masaki Jurai
FANDOM: Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki (the OVA universe)
CHRONOLOGY: Post 3rd OVA series
BACKGROUND:
Sasami Masaki Jurai is the second-born princess of Azusa and Misaki, two of the three rulers of the distant planet of Jurai. Along with her elder sister Ayeka and her half-brother Yosho, Sasami pretty much lived a simple life. But that all changed when she was four. Without warning, the space pirate Ryoko Hakubi, under the thrall of the criminal Kagato, attacked Jurai. As everything fell apart, Sasami seperated from her royal retainer, Mama. Running into the Royal Tree Room, she began to talk to the special trees within. That's when a Juraian battleship crashed into the room, knocking Sasami off the platform... and to her death.
Yet, death would not have her. Her body fell to the bottom, where the first tree, Tsunami, laid. The goddess within the tree sensed her waining essence and, to save her, bonded with the girl. Sasami was saved, but the girl felt that, because Tsunami saved her, she wasn't the real Sasami. For the longest time, she tried to tell Ayeka the horrible truth, but could never do so. When Ayeka decided to leave Jurai to hunt down Yosho, who had disappeared chasing after Ryoko, Tsunami urged Sasami to join Ayeka onboard her sister's ship, Ryu-Oh.. For 700 years, Sasami slept in suspended animation, until they arrived on a backwater planet named Earth. When Sasami came to, she found out that Ayeka had taken Ryoko captive and was holding another person captive as well: a young Earth boy named Tenchi Masaki. Freeing him, she told Tenchi she'd help him get off the craft if he played a game: get Ayeka's headpiece off her head. Unfortuantly, Tenchi got overzealous and tried to go after the sword hilt she'd taken away from him earlier and got chased by Ayeka's guards. As Tenchi grabbed Sasami and dragged her over to where Ryoko was being held, the girl freed the pirate and, as thanks, watched as Ryoko slammed Ryu-Oh and Ryoko's ship, Ryo-Ohki, into the waters in Japan, destroying the Seto Bridge.
Unliked Ayeka, who flailed and whined at the thought of being stranded on Earth, Sasami took to it with ease, cooking and cleaning for the inhabitants of Tenchi's house (which had gotten moved from Tokyo to the Masaki Shrine in Okiyama thanks to Ryoko's actions.) Gullible girl that she was, she fell for it when Ryoko told her that the mysterious brown egg was the love child of Tenchi and the pirate... only to go gah-gah when she discovered that it was actually an adorable cat-like rabbit, a cabbit named Ryo-Ohki. After a rainstorm left Tenchi and Ayeka stranded outside, Sasami begged Ryoko to make it stop raining (she couldn't), then had her help find the two. Soon after, the four ended up going to a small resort owned by Tenchi's aunt, only to watch as Ayeka and Ryoko tore the place apart and ended up meeting a new visitor: the Galaxy Police Officer Mihoshi Kuramitsu. That night, Sasami dreamt of Kagato returning, but kept it secret.
Sadly, that dream came true as Kagato arrived, taking Ryoko prisoner and taunting the others to follow. In the process, Tenchi was mortally wounded. Not wanting him to die, Sasami allowed Tsunami to take over and, in the process, unlocked Tenchi's true potential. With Kagato killed, the gang welcomed in another person: Ryoko and Ryo-Ohki's creator (and mother) Washu Hakubi. But, as the time passed, Sasami worried that she couldn't keep her secret of being one with Tsunami safe for much longer, especially after Washu revealed her past to the others. That time came when the gang revisted the resort and was forced to rebuild it. After Tenchi had a panic attack as he tried to fix the power at the place, he ended up crashing into the ladies' baths, he and the girls thinking that a ghost was there. When the lights came on, they saw Sasami... until Mihoshi looked at the water and gasped in shock seeing Tsunami's reflection instead. Horrified, Sasami ran, forcing the others to find her. Ryoko and Mihoshi found her first, but was stopped by Washu, who let Ayeka go first (Tenchi found that out after finding the two sisters). When Sasami was told that it didn't matter who she was, as long as she was still loved, Sasami took that as a good sign and went to hug... Tenchi. Tsunami appeared shortly after and reassured them that Sasami was the real one and that everything was fine... except Ryoko and Ayeka saw it as "Sasami becomes Tsunami, thus is a threat to their plans to win his heart."
Soon after, the gang dealt with some minor crisis, first with a set of Mass trying to attack Tenchi, leading to Ryo-Ohki to gain a humanoid form, and Dr. Clay replacing Ryoko with a duplicate in an attempt to capture Washu. Soon after, Sasami was greeted by her parents again after so long, but was shocked when Azusa decided it was time for them to return home. When Ayeka refused, Sasami refused as well... then added in that if he forced her, she'd hate him, leaving him no choice but to challenge Tenchi by having him battle Ayeka's chosen suitor, the fopish Seiryo. Thanks to Mihoshi's crashlanding, though, Tenchi won by default and the girls got to stay. Soon after, the gang was hit with a number of surprises, including meeting Tenchi's sister Tennyo, his grandmother Ari, and his "fiancee" Noike. Not long after, the group found themselves attacked by a group of Galaxy Police agents, lead by Mihoshi's brother Misao, who had believed that Tenchi was treating Mihoshi wrong. Sasami found herself captive by the leader of the strikeforce, Mashisu, who had a crush on Misao. Sasami, amazingly, defeated her and convinced her to confront Misao.
Sadly, not much would get done as Z, the true mastermind behind the attack, set off an attack that lead to the destruction of a fraction of the Earth. Z chased Tenchi, the others following suit, and when Tenchi found himself in danger thanks to another goddess, Tokimi, Tsunami stepped in, causing a fraction of the Solar System to be destroyed before Washu revealed her true self and stopped the two, making them focus on Tenchi's predictiment. As they did, another being stepped in, threatening to slay Tokimi - the Counteracter, who was actually Lady Misaki! Tenchi utilized his true battle and calmed the Counteracter, allowing Tokimi to be freed. Soon, the three goddesses began explaining their true purposes: to find the being more powerful than they... and they had found it in Tenchi. To correct the damage caused by Z, the three reset time so that Tenchi's natural growth went unaltered, but allowed Z to live a different life. Back on the reset Earth, the group watched as Misao dealt with his punishment, now caused by Noike to make sure certain future (Re: Tenchi Muyo! GXP) events occur, then to learn the truth of the death of Tenchi's mother.
PERSONALITY:
Despite the incredibile boost in power and the fact that she's bonded by a goddess like Tsunami, Sasami is actually a pretty well-adjusted girl. Unlike the other girls living with Tenchi, Sasami tends to be the most mature of the group, acting more like an adult than those living there, especially as she's the one who does most of the cooking and cleaning around the house. Despite this, Sasami is still a child at heart and enjoys doing childish things, wiether it's playing with other children or playing pranks on others.
Probably what weights most on Sasami is the fact that she's bonded with Tsunami and, as such, feels that she isn't the real Sasami. To this end, Sasami tries her hardest to prove that she is needed in some capacity, most likely to feel like she's still needed.
The goddess she's bonded to, Tsunami, is shown to be a caring being, willing to protect Sasami and those the child cares about. Like the other girls, she's shown the most interest in Tenchi, mostly because of what he is, and will go to great lengths to save him should he be in danger. This will most likely translate to having her protect those Sasami will meet her in The City during her time.
CLASS: Hero
SUPERHERO NAME: Tsunami
ALTER EGO: Sasami Masaki Jurai, student
POWER: > Physically, Sasami doesn't have any real powers. Thanks to her Juraian blood, she can utilize various Juraian "keys" (such as Ayeka's headpiece or Tenchi's sword) and use their power. She also is skilled in staffplay, most likely due to training by Misaki. To this end, one of Sasami's hairbands can be converted into a staff for combat.
Her biggest thing, bar none, is her bond to Tsunami. The full extent of what she can do is vastly unknown, but it IS known that the connection, beyond the twin triangle marks on her forehead, is unknown to those who look at her, except through water reflections (Sasami panicked and ran off the first real time she was around people AND water and it was through hot springs bath water that the rest of the gang learned of Sasami's connection). Tsunami can communicate to others through these reflections if need be. Because of how they are linked, Sasami and Tsunami cannot exist in physical form at the same time. Thus, the two can switch out, if need be. Also, Tsunami can appear should Sasami fall asleep. (the manga has shown, though, that Tsunami can appear in astral form).
Because of her bond with Tsunami, Sasami also has access to the Juraian battleship of the same name (Tsunami, not Sasami), which, being the first, is the most powerful. By default, she also has access to the mysterious energy shields known as the Light Hawk Wings. She also has precognative nightmares that can go from the haunting to downright violent.
Tsunami's power is vastly unknown, but it is known that she can heal people, reconstruct them from near death (as what she did with Sasami) and can strike with great force (colliding her strike with Tokimi ended up taking out a fraction of the Solar System.)
Beyond all this great power Sasami commands? She's also an EXCELLENT cook and a WONDERFUL cleaner.
(PS: I can REALLY put a clamp on most of the power Tsunami has if need be. I can't shut out Tsunami completely because, well... Sasami would die, and, well, that's not good.)
COMMUNITY POST SAMPLE: [Voice, Japanese, Translated]
*there's the sound of sniffling and sobbing through the speaker. It sounds like a young child on the other end!*
Wh-where is this place? Why am I here? They said I had to be a hero, but... I... I don't want to be a hero! I didn't ask to be one! I was fine as is...!
Where is everyone? Tenchi-niisan? Ayeka-neesan? Ryo-Ohki-chan? Anyone? Please, answer me! Th-this isn't funny! Washu-chan? Mihoshi-san? Noike-Obaa?
Wh-where are they? I... I wanna go home...! Someone... help me...! Please...
THIRD PERSON: If one was to pass her room, people would wonder who was the wonderful chef cooking such a great meal and for whom. For Sasami, it was more or less to help pass the time. Cooking was her thing and she loved it. It didn't matter if she wasn't back in Japan with everyone else at the moment... well, to be honest, it did. They loved her and she loved them and every day gone was a day that she missed them even more.
Passing the time as she prepared the ingredients, she began humming a song, slightly wishing that Ryo-Ohki, her cabbit companion, was here to keep her company. Lost in her thoughts, she reached over to the stove and her hand touched a hot pan, causing her to yelp in pain, wincing as she clutched it tight. A moment later, a slight glow illuminated from her hand, causing Sasami to open her eyes from their tight squint in confusion. The burning had ceased and the mark was gone, Staring in front of her was the image of what she might look like older... or as she better knew her, the goddess Tsunami.
"Tsunami-sama..." Sasami uttered. "Thank you..."
"There's no need to worry. You may be here without the others, but you're not alone." Tsunami said. "Besides, you made all this food for yourself? Why don't you invite some people over so they can try it out?"
"Are you sure it's okay?" Sasami asked. Tsunami nodded in responce. "Well... okay, then!" With that, Sasami ran for her comm and began using it, hoping that someone would see the message and respond. And hopefully, she could find someone to befriend here.
