Mayumi Himura is a character role-played by LunaOni.
General Description
Mayumi is the exiled eldest daughter of a powerful Yakuza clan, the Matsumura-gumi. Driven to rebellion by the harsh lifestyle she was born into, May found her escape in reckless driving, street racing, and other criminal pursuits. Eventually she fled her home and set out for a new life outside Japan, with her past dogging her every step.
Physical Description
Mayumi is a woman of average height, about 162cm tall, with tan skin, green eyes, and long dark brown hair that she often dyes. May has a toned figure thanks to her can't-sit-still personality and high-octane criminal lifestyle. Her body has some faint scarring from a variety of tragedies in her life, mostly faded bullet wounds and scars from RPG shrapnel.
She used to be heavily tattooed, with sleeves on both arms in the Irezumi style common among the Yakuza. Her tattoo designs have varied since the introduction of new designs in the local tattoo shops. After settling the score with her father and finally unshackling herself from the past, she removed her irezumi tattoos and has an aversion to getting any further ink that might seem similar in style. Since returning from her time in South Korea she's gotten a variety of small, non-Irezumi style tattoos in a bid to stay away from her old look.
She enjoys changing up her outfits & hairstyles frequently, alternating styles and colors to fit her mood. She's been known to go through major fashion phases including "neon goth", a "blue phase," and her "emerald phase" that has become known in the city as "Mayumi Green." May also became known for her custom-tailored suit and cyberpunk kitsune mask, a regular feature of her Yokai wardrobe. May's OG crime mask is a black, white, & red Oni mask that became a personal signature. Recently May prefers a Kaneshiro mask or black skull bandana.
Personality
Mayumi is a headstrong & high-strung woman, who is at her happiest when she's unbound by responsibilities. Although she prefers to follow the beat of her own drum, May is far from completely self-centered and can be a surprisingly good team-player if she finds the right people. May is very loyal to those she does let become her friend and is willing to drop everything at a moment's notice to rush to their aid however she can. Once you're in May's trusted circle, she's willing to shed blood for you.
She isn't the best at socializing, which leads to her struggling to make friends, but will open up if the right topics are mentioned. If she's in her element, which is usually something to do with cars, May is almost a social butterfly. The normally withdrawn woman will approach total strangers to strike up a conversation about their car, which is usually how she meets most of her friends. In other social encounters, May is more apt to pass by strangers without a word.
Although she can seem cold, quick to violence at times, and somewhat uncaring of others' plights, May does possess some empathy. She'll take an injured man hostage for a bank, but not before getting him medical aid beforehand. May can be extremely vindictive when wronged and has been known to escalate rapidly over minor slights. Challenging May when she's angry often leads to violence, but she can be reasoned with and usually prefers to talk things out rather than resorting to bloodshed.
May is rather resistant to the idea of committed relationships and prefers to live life by the seat of whatever car she's in at the time, on the road, always moving. Partners often end up cramping her style, so she doesn't like to let people get too close. Her awkwardness and background of close personal trauma have made the concept difficult, no matter how much she yearns for it. When someone does break down her barriers they'll find an incredibly dedicated (often violently so) lover who will move heaven & earth for their partner, assuming she isn't distracted at the time.
Background
Originally from Japan, Mayumi moved away when she was younger, desperate to escape the clutches of her Yakuza family. Her father was the Oyabun of a powerful Yakuza syndicate, Matsumura-gumi, and she was expected to be his heir when she became an adult. Until then she was to be trained as her father's personal assassin. Instead of the life of a normal child, May was raised to be a remorseless killer with her ordinary schooling supplemented by firearms classes and combat drills. May was taught to repress and compartmentalize her emotions, that they were a weakness that would only get in her way. May became as familiar with weapons as most children do with toys.
May's time with her family was not one of love and joy, and she consistently rebelled against the life her father was trying to impose on her. May discovered the illegal street racing scene as a teen, and quickly grew infatuated with it. Her father hated this "low-class" behavior from his daughter and they were constantly at odds over it, with May often escaping from the clutches of her family in a stolen car only to be dragged back to her father once again. Each time she was dragged back and forced to work for her father, to kill for him, May could only think of the sheer joy and freedom she felt behind the wheel of a car as it careened around a bend at breakneck speeds. Her need to escape from her family and live a life of her own was paramount.
Although details of her escape are closely guarded by Mayumi, at some point in her late teens she escaped Japan and ended up on her own. In recollections to friends she's mentioned living abroad, working as a killer-for-hire, and at some point washing up on the shore of a lesser-known Caribbean island where she was found nearly dead by W'Kabi Aku. Mayumi spent some time on the island working with W'Kabi and his gang, getting rich and living good. Eventually the political climate shifted and the corrupt cops that were working with them suddenly weren't. May sensed the trouble early and begged W'Kabi to flee with her, but he refused. Sensing her freedom being at risk again, May fled the island alone.
Pre-NP Lore
May ended up in Liberty City, adrift and with no direction. She took on the fake name "May Hemm" and began searching for a new direction. It was here she became aware of notorious supervillain Commander Chaos. His style and wild-card energy immediately attracted May, and she went out of her way to meet him. After they finally met, Chaos introduced her to his partner-in-crime Fingle Dan. They immediately took May to rob a Fleeca and kick-started the beginning of May's criminal life in the city. Her tenacity and driving ability led to a successful career as a bank robber, with her signature Vincent Sport becoming a dreaded sight by the local police, almost leading the government to ban the ownership of the vehicle. May eventually joined a gang, helping run it and doing more than just bank robberies. They were also producing & distributing their own drugs & guns. May worked as a car dealer during the day, using her nighttime habit as a street racer to aid her sales. Her penchant for using a new car to race every week gave her more experience than most. Eventually the scene in Liberty City grew difficult, with massive police crackdowns leading to most of May's friends fleeing state. May set her sights across the country, to the island of San Andreas.
2.0 Lore
Los Santos proved to be a fruitful place for Mayumi, and she lucked into meeting some old friends who got her into house robberies. One robbery later she had a combat pistol and hit the streets, before long ending up with a stash house in the southside and plenty more guns to peddle to the many gangs of the city. It wasn't all fun, with May getting into serious beef with the ESB. Her southside location gave ample opportunity for the Ballas, and sometimes other southside gangs, to make her life difficult. These interactions formed a long-lasting dislike of southside gangs in Mayumi's mind. Despite the pressures of the life May made a lot of money and many connections selling pistols, even being invited to roll out against the ESB in the great war. She declined, citing her relatively recent arrival to the city. While she hated the ESB, she felt it wasn't really her fight. May also participated in the local street racing scene, slowly but surely earning a rep. It was in this scene she met Mary Mushkin, with the two bonding and quickly becoming close friends.
3.0 Lore
After the city reopened May immediately fell back into her old habits of racing and heists. While her now BFF Mary helped run the Tuner Shop, May ran the streets, causing chaos and helping to build a racing group that would quickly become notorious. Nightfall was formed up of May and her friends, all who happened to be the best racers in the state. The response from the scene was an unwelcome one, and Nightfall disbanded shortly after. On the other side of the criminal world May start a heist crew that quickly became the bane of PD and other crews due to their robbery sprees. With a heist crew consisting of the city's best hackers and drivers, The Phantom Thieves aka The Femly tore through the city's financial system and quickly conquered every firewall and cracked every vault. They were one of the first 5 groups to completely hack the city's financial system and receive casino plans from an encrypted database. It was during this time that May was invited to Yokai and began her journey with them, helping Mary & Fiona run it. May & the rest of Yokai even helped the PM set-up the heist-room in Vinewood and were the first to see the underground black market for stolen financial goods. May's gang career post-Femly led her to consider the BBMC and HOA, with the HOA eventually winning. May's time in the HOA was filled with lots of explosions, chaos, and camaraderie. Many of the HOA become close friends of May for life. With the retiring of the HOA's leadership, May was elevated to high command. Unfortunately it was short-lived because May was soon presented with an ultimatum, would she shoot Mary for the HOA? For May the answer was an easy no, and this led to her departure from the HOA. May soon began hanging out with Hydra, their closeness to Mary assuring May that she'd never have to hurt her. In fact, Mary herself ended up joining May and becoming a hangaround for Hydra in her own right. May spent her days with Hydra learning a lot, from gang shit to hacking, with Hydra encouraging her along the way. Although May's time in Hydra was cut short by the evacuation of the island post-Sanguine, she did manage to start 2 wars during that time. Hydra losing the casino (as well as her prized CGT) during the collapse would be sort points for May once she and the rest returned.
4.0 5-year Gap Lore
After all May had been through she knew one thing - Mary, Yokai, all the people she found in Los Santos and elsewhere were her real family. In order to be with her real family, her found family, she had to settle the score with her father so she wouldn't have to live with a potential dagger at her back. Or the backs of those she loved. May went back to Japan and supplicated herself before her father and asked for a way to buy her true freedom and the freedom of her found family. May spent 5 long years working as her father's dog again, killing, burning, and blowing up whatever he asked. With her father's rivals in disarray and their financials soaring, he officially cleared the kill order he'd placed on her. Her name would be erased from the clan's history and it would be like she never existed. May returned to Los Santos and her found family finally unburdened, eager to start fresh.

| Mayumi, feeling lost after leaving The Kaneshiro Clan, had a conversation with Rod Long about her desire to start her own group. However, Rod was inclined to see through the new leadership within the HOA and see where it leads. Both of them weighed the pros and cons of Mayumi's idea, ultimately deciding that May would meet Rod halfway and join the District. after a few days Mayumi was on her normal G6 routine, she was contemplating the possibility of leading her own gang when she received a call from Julio Thomas asking to have a meeting. Julio told May that he didn't think she would be a good fit for The District anymore and suggested they should go their separate ways. Mayumi agreed and officially left The District. A little while after, Rod also mentioned he was leaving The District and was looking for something new. Mayumi realized this was her chance to start her own gang and begin something new. |

| Mayumi, finding herself with no gang, house, or girlfriend, decided to up-end her entire life in Los Santos and run away to South Korea in an attempt to become a professional League of Legends player. May experienced enormous success, propelling herself to stardom with her aggressive play-style and trademark trash-talk. Her career peaked when her team beat T1 & Faker, leaving May at the pinnacle of it all. The money and fame were corrupting, however, and May found herself boosting LoL accounts and selling them in order to keep her expensive habits. Cocaine, gold-leaf takis, and expensive sports cars weren't enough. Eventually it all came crashing down and the authorities broke apart her whole criminal empire, fining her into bankruptcy and banning her from South Korea permanently. Broke and with nothing to call her own, May headed back to Los Santos & Kaneshiro, the only family she had left. |
