• Multiphasic Visor-Visor designed to obstruct full identity as well as allows for Mako to see in multiple light spectrums including thermal, x-ray, and night vision. Also has the ability to adjust to quick drastic changes in light intensity without harm or disorientation.
• Earpiece Communicator- Standard issue earpiece radio required by all registered Ethereal Heroes to keep in contact with local officials and regional team leaders.
• Zip-ties –used as make shift hand cuffs

Personal Transport: Ability to fly

Powers/abilities:
• Flight
• Elemental control over water- Can manipulate and control liquid water. Ability to also pull molecules from the atmosphere but attacks and defensive abilities are not as strong in this case.
o Water Element can be used either offensively (water based weapons, whips projective water orbs etc.) or defensively (create water shields or coat her scales to help amplify physical strength.)
• Elemental control over lightning (Electricity)- Body creates a natural charge of electrical energy that Mako can discharge. No need to recharge as her own body seem to produce it naturally.
o Ability to manipulate either element independently or combine them for a maximum amplified destructive force.
o This is a primarily ranged ability in bolts and orbs but Mako has been able to charge her fist feet and tail for electrical strikes.
o “Full discharge”- an attack where Mako expels an electrical energy explosion with her at the center. Range of 30 feet but leaves Mako’s electrical powers temporarily drained until her body recharges.
• Enhanced physical strength (5x normal furs when dry 10 time when immersed in water or sufficiently wet)
• Enhanced strength speed and agility and over all mobility when submerged in liquids.
• Expert combat skill level in traditional boxing and kick boxing.

Strengths:
• Between her natural abilities in the water and her flight. Mako Shock is a force to bet reckoned with on land, sea or air.
• Abilities make her immune to electricity and even its amplification in liquids.
• Able to do combat affectively at all ranges but strongest with projectile attacks.
• Loyalty to friends and allies makes her a welcome partner and alley by many when fighting crime.


Weaknesses:
• Extreme heat & High humidity: Mako Shock cannot hand temperatures much higher than 100 degrees without her de-humidifier to help regulate her body. Her ability to also manipulate water is greatly reduced in arid climates. As a result she carries vials of water within her eo-skeleton in case of emergency
• Electrical insulators, especially glass rubber and latex. Although Mako would be able to with enough energy push her way through regular rubber or latex, enhanced insulators and glass render her electrical ability useless.

• Though slight more durable than average furs, If one can penetrate her elemental shields she is as fragile as any other furson with all the same frailties .

Bio:

Sarah Johnson was a typical average shark girl growing up. Though a little on the small side during her elementary school years, Sarah was often picked on because she was the smallest. Her parents would sign their daughter up at the local YMCA in the boxing and kick boxing lesson which gave her the skills to defend herself from the occasional bullying.

When she moved from L.A. to San Francisco due to a job change by she was no longer bullied for her size. During her high school years Sarah was even less noticeable. She wasn’t popular or cliquey. She didn’t fit in with any one group but blended well with all. Though she had a love for history and excelled in that subject, she was a “C” student over all. She would try out for some of the school sport teams with no success. Sarah however didn’t mind though. She liked being under the radar for the most part.

Life was normal until a family camping trip When Sara was 16. She had been out hiking on her own when she had gotten turned around in the woods due to unusual magnetic readings making her compass useless. The young shark wandered for hours as it started to rain. Her heart sank slightly as there was supposed to be a meteor shower visible from the park forest. Now not only was she lost but she would miss the shower as well. However Sarah knew she would have to find shelter before anything else. It was not the rain that worried her but the possible lightning and thunder that came with it.

Sarah hurried through the forest as the storm raged over head she saw a cave and started to race for it until fate intervened. A meteor crashed down in front of the unsuspecting shark throwing her into a tree. She bounced off the oak rolling down into the crater next to the otherworldly rock. As Sarah used the rock for support her body began to feel strange. Her body developed with a slight grow spirt as she filled out slightly her muscle toned up and she felt stronger faster more agile almost lighter than air. She could feel the raindrops around her as though they were an extension of her own being when fate took another twist. Sarah in a moment of disorientation forgot about the storm rampant around her. The metal in the rock attracted a bolt of lightning towards its striking both the meteor and the Teenage shark as tens of thousands of volts coursed through her body. Sarah wailed in pain as she smelled her own body fry. Eventually her body was finally thrown from the rock again. She lay where she landed as her body sparked and twitched before going motionless. She remained there unmoving until a rescue party found her 2 days later and took her to the hospital.

When Sarah awoke a week later in the hospital she seemed perfectly fine though surprised slightly by change in appearance. The young shark as she returned that summer found a new found sense of confidence and coordination she had not had before.

Though she did do her best to remain under the radar as she always had, her efforts were fruitless. One night when walking home after going to the movies with friends, Sarah separated from the group to head home when a large male leopard started to follow her casually at first. When the chance arose though, the Leopard burst into a sprint grabbing Sarah and pulling her into a dark side alley. He slammed the shark hard against the wall pulling a knife.

“Your Money! Any jewelry! Give it over and maybe I will be nice!” The leopard sneered sinisterly as he eyed up Sarah’s figure. Normally the Shark would be too scared to move, but something swelled inside her as she grabbed back at the leopard as an orb of water suddenly appeared in her right hand and an electrical bolt in the left. The leopard had no idea what hit him as she struck with both orbs simultaneously. The force of the shock sent the leopard flying out of the alley and into the street. Before anyone knew what was happening even Sarah, she had grabbed the unconscious leopard in one swift motion and was now floating high above the city. The leopard was no small furson, and yet he felt like nothing in Sarah’s grip. She looked around slightly confused but she knew she needed to get the leopard medical attention. The two flew quickly to the closest hospital dropping the feline into the back of an ambulance that had just dropped off another patient. After placing him down inside the shark flew back up into the sky not quite sure how she was doing. All she knew was that now it felt like second nature. It was then the teenage shark decided she would use these new abilities to prevent anyone else from being a victim like she could have been.

Student by day Vigilante by night Mako Shock was born. Through the remainder of high school and all during her college years at SHCU and Law School, Sarah would walk the fine line of a normal life and that of a super hero fighting crime and other super powered villains while trying to keep her studies and getting to class on time over the next 8 years.

When Sarah passed the bar she almost immediately joined the legal team of a lobby firm advocating for the fair and equal treatment of Metas. Sarah Johnson became more vocal publically; Mako Shock appeared less and less until only a few even remembered her name. Many thought she was killed in an explosion that killed the bio chemical terrorist corrosion, while others believed she was caught and sent overseas to fight I the underground Meta pits. Either way, Sarah continued her work for the next 4 years until the Peacekeeper legislation passed.

Sarah’s firm was hired later by the peacekeepers to insure they would work within the confines of the law. They were also hired to work as legal counsel for Metas that could not afford it. Though Sarah worked closely with the Peacekeeper agents, the tiger shark felt uneasy with the government legislation. Eventually Sarah would leave her law firm to work directly for the lobby group as their lead legal counsel. She would still work closely with the Peacekeepers but more so as a watch dog for the people.

However something else was bothering Sarah as well. The Darkfury Syndicate was becoming bolder and even looking to recruit Meta’s to spread its influence. Feeling she could no longer sit idly by once more Sarah Johnson once more donned her visor and costume ensuring the safety and protection of the Residents of Stonehaven City’s Aquatic district. The return of Mako Shock comes with mixed feelings and emotions as the denizens of the city already struggle with its current stance on the Peacekeeper program and the new legislation about vigilante Metas

Personality:
Sarah has a stereo typical Californian surfer laid back attitude. A very calm and gentle personality who believes nothing is on fire and the world is not ending until it actually is. When it gets to the point though she knows it’s time to get serious. She also has a child-like innocence to her at times always willing to try something new at least once, and giving everyone (including the villains) the benefit of the doubt. She is honest and trusting to a fault that sometimes can almost be perceived as being naïve. Have no doubt though, she is very much aware when someone is lying or taking advantage of her.

Mako Shock has always been more of a peacemaker but understands peace must be defended by those who can. Unlike many of the other heroes and heroines Mako has encountered, from her years of experience she has learned that there are times when one must make the hard decisions for the greater good. As such, Mako has killed in the past (only 3 times each of which she regrets), but only when it is absolutely necessary and there is no other options.
