Inner Stuff
Likes:

• Sports (especially biking)

• Plants and flowers

Dislikes:

• Science being used for evil
• Pollution
• Threats to children and families

Strengths:

• Superior intelligence and memory
• Can be repaired and recover from more serious damage than a human could take
• Good with kids
• Capable as a mechanic

Weaknesses:

• Vulnerable to attacks that disrupt electronics, such as EMPs
• Requires occasional recharging
• Can be overprotective of those she cares about

Goal(s):

• Live a life that the ones who gave her the opportunity to have her own life would be proud of. Make sure that happy families stay that way. Learn, and grow mentally, even though she can't grow physically.

Habits/ Quirks:

• Has a tendency to act childishly when her systems are overtaxed, and even in normal situations she still has a few interests left from her child programming.

Relationships:

• Colon: Another creation of Dr. Hoshi. While she looks more obviously robotic than Sayako, they treat each other as sisters. Colon occasionally assists Sayako in battle, but more often simply monitors things from the Gran Tortoise, the team's underwater base.
• Dr. Uemura: Sayako's first father. She regrets having been created by Black Magma to manipulate his emotions, and so she now tries to help him in a more honest manner. He's currently retired.

Overview:
Sayako is usually a capable, intelligent woman who is just as comfortable fixing cars or fighting off monsters as she is assisting with a science class or babysitting for a friend. Though she's not a biological organism she has a great respect for life in all its forms and does her best to protect people and animals that are in danger. Since she was upgraded from an android meant to act like a child, she can be a bit childish sometimes, but she tries to keep it to herself when possible. She doesn't make a secret of the fact that she's not really human (the fact that she hasn't aged since the 1980s, and her somewhat unusual-sounding voice, makes that fact hard to hide anyway), but she doesn't go out of her way to bring it up either- in any case, she considers herself human by adoption.

History

32 years ago, the Machine Empire Black Magma invaded Japan from its arctic base, seeking to claim its supply of geothermal energy to power its quest to dominate the world. One of their most vicious plans involved a botanist, Dr. Uemura, whose daughter Yumi had recently died of an illness. They created an android in the likeness of Yumi and presented it to him, claiming that the machine was his daughter returned to life. In exchange, they asked that he create a deadly poison that their monster, Fern Monger, would distribute throughout the city. The Taiyou Sentai Sun Vulcan team uncovered the plan, and Dr. Uemura eventually attempted to escape with the android Yumi. The Zero Girls, agents of Black Magma, attempted to order the android to kill Uemura, but the machine had gained a heart from its interaction with him, and refused to kill the man that it now accepted as its father. The Zero Girls activated a self-destruct system inside the android, and it seemed that Dr. Uemura had lost his daughter for a second time- but the Sun Vulcan team was determined not to let that happen. As it turned out, the explosive was not strong enough to destroy the module that contained the android's memory, and after the battle against Black Magma ended and there was no chance that they would reclaim their creation, Kin'ya Samejima (Vul Shark) sought to have a new body made for the android. With the help of Academia Island's Dr. Hoshi, who was already working on his own AI project, this was accomplished- the android's memories were brought back to life in a new form, one which resembled a young woman rather than a little girl.
Now acknowledging that she shouldn't try to be a replacement for the original Yumi, the android took the name Sayako Uemura, and pledged to make Dr. Uemura, Dr. Hoshi, and the Sun Vulcans proud with her new life. With her advanced brain, she learned and matured very quickly, and eventually earned a degree in marine biology just as Samejima had. But, after Dr. Hoshi and many students of his were killed in a monster attack on Academia Island, Sayako knew that, while she had tried to pursue a peaceful life, she was, at least in part, made to fight. So, she thought, she might as well fight against evil. With the help of some of the academy's surviving students and some plans left behind by Dr. Hoshi, she created a new set of powers and became Blue Dolphin, one of what would eventually become the team Choujuu Sentai Liveman.


OOC Stuff
Anything Else: Just to get it out of the way: I'm a guy in real life. I picked a female character for my first one here partly because the story I thought of required it, and partly because I couldn't easily find any good male actors for the ideas I had with male characters.
OOC Name: Kayube
Name Color: #0000FF
Number Of Stars: 3
Color Of Stars: Blue
Sample RP:
"I just don't understand how it could keep happening," the scientist said, sounding baffled. "That's three trackers in a row that have vanished, way too suddenly... Did we do something wrong?"
"I don't think so," Sayako answered, looking thoughtful and examining the computer. "If you check their last known locations... they're all in the same area. But that's not all..." She makes a few changes in the parameters. "If you check back to the last few times we've lost them... Those weren't just accidents either. They're all part of the same pattern." She hovers a finger over the screen to illustrate. "...I think I need to get out there and check this out myself," she concludes.
Turning and rushing away, the bewildered scientist was left wondering just what Sayako had in mind. Meanwhile, she was switching on the communicator function of her Twin Brace. "Colon, could you get the Aqua Dolphin out here? There might be trouble out there..."
