Rowan Forge {Calypso} [CIVILIAN]

THE BASICS

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE

Typically speaking, Rowan's default form is a beach-ball sized bright blue slime, no discernable features to the blob with a reflective sheen to it’s form. Typically, this blob looks like it is partially deflated, flattening on the surface it is sitting on, and while it can distribute its weight simply and easily, for such a small size it’s natural 300 pounds is nothing to scoff at and can take people off guard. In this form it is able to interact with others with a series of parts of its body, forming tentacles or otherwise created appendages. There are a pair of lines that indicate which way Rowan is facing that almost looks like shut eyes, but otherwise is unable to properly tell much of anything unless it wants you to.

Being a shapeshifter, the body characteristics when Rowan is impersonating a human can change on a whim, but the most preferred form is a  pink-skinned, red and black eyed, white haired female with a long tail, and this is generally the form she keeps when Rowan is the most comfortable but wants to remain in a humanoid form.

PERSONALITY

Rowan has been forced from a young age to mature mentally and emotionally due to how she was brought up.  Extremely sufficient in surviving the world around her, this has allowed her to branch out, and it is difficult to pin down what she truly enjoys, and what she is doing to be more comfortable in life... and what is just an act.

To most everyone, Rowan is an ultra-confident person who borders on being arrogant but tiptoes that line very well, ensuring she doesn't rub too many people the wrong way. That confidence goes into everything; her walk, her tone, even her smiles and smirks; she just oozes that she has everything perfectly under control. She has an amazing poker face as well, capable of keeping a cool head and never revealing her true emotions even in the direst of circumstances when she doesn't want to, and that is pushed into her ability to assume just about any role as well. Adaptable, she can slip into just about any situation she needs to in order to get the job done, so every time you meet her, you could run into something different as she switches from one to the next.

On the inside, however, is a different story. Extremely humble and grateful for everything she has earned or been given, no single day goes by that she isn’t thankful simply to still be alive.  Living life to the fullest, she also has a tendency to think about what something is capable of as a bigger picture, able to think a few steps ahead, and doesn’t rush into things without thinking it through, despite her outward actions sometimes making her seem rash. Trusting people doesn’t come easily, not when it comes to truly trust anyone anyway, and it is damn near impossible to truly tell what she is thinking or what her true emotions are at any given time.

BACKGROUND HISTORY

Rowan's mother wasn't ready for a child, and her father, in the US Military, was shipped out before she was born.  That left Rowan in the care of the Okinawa Orphanage.  Okinawa being a small island to the south of the Japanese mainland, the population wasn't all that large, under 150,000 on the entire island, so there was only a single orphanage, albeit a decent sized one that had a few hundred kids.  When Rowan's father had given up custody to the orphanage, he did leave her a name, but that was all, and she never saw the man again.  Infancy was relatively normal... nothing really noteworthy happening and she was a very happy kid, not knowing anything other than having a boatload of other kids to play with an many people filling that parental role, even if they did usually wind up trading out occasionally.

The first real interesting thing happened when she was almost three years old, the Orphanage received a very large egg.  Upon examination, it was discovered that it was one of the few rare Quirks that happened at birth, and a young person was inside, still growing.  Rowan took to the egg immediately, caring for it the best she could, much to the dismay of the staff who all but had to fight her to take it from her, and eventually they relented, allowing her to care for the egg and keep it warm.  Coincidentally on her birthday, the egg hatched, and a small, red-scaled snake girl emerged, who was named Hasina.  The pair were inseparable from that day forward, Rowan even having Hasina draped around her shoulders most of the time, and eventually even helping her hunt down mice in the orphanage.  Things went very well for the next two years as Rowan began home-schooling through kindergarten when her Quirk came to be.

And she turned into an immobile blue blob.  For the next three years, she was in the equivalent of a Coma, unconscious as her body changed and adapted, grew.  Hasina protected her, even kept her fed by pushing bits of food into her body, which rapidly dissolved as it was consumed, but never harmed Hasina herself.  When she woke up, Hasina had grown quite a bit, and developmentally, even though Rowan was older, they were developmentally about the same, and began to take classes together.  A new dynamic had entered the fray while she was asleep as well, another boy who had grown fond of the pair and wanted to be their friend.  He wasn't well liked by others, constantly plagued with depression because of it, and Rowan and Hasina took him under their wing so that he wouldn't have to be alone.

The next five years passed as the girls cracked down on their studies, but also grew.  Both Rowan and Hasina were early bloomers, developing into their bodies much more rapidly; for Hasina, it was more in the traditional sense from the waste up, and for Rowan, she discovered she was able to manipulate what her body looked like almost any way she wanted.  The boy, however, began to guilt the girls into letting him touch them or sleep in the same bed with them, forcing them not to tell by stating he would hurt himself or others if they did.  Rowan was extremely protective of Hasina, and while the damage had likely already been done, she cut a deal with the guy; leave Hasina alone, and she would keep him company... no fuss.

This continued until the girls were fifteen years old when Hasina discovered the deal that had been made, and Rowan discovered that Hasina was just as protective of her as she was of the snake-woman.  Her Quirk was based on a constrictor snake, and she found Hasina crushing him in rage, and it took every trick in the book to get her to let him go before she killed him.  Pooling together some money they earned, the girls left Okinawa entirely, reporting the mostly broken boy to the staff, and leaving that life behind them.

It wasn't hard for Rowan to impersonate someone far older than she was under the guise of Aurora and get some work, a nice side effect of not needing sleep being that she could work a couple of jobs without a problem while Hasina worked on the chores and such at their home.  At first, it was touch and go; Rowan had to learn a lot of different skills as she switched from job to job, learning as she went, trying to make ends meet.  It wasn't until she was 17, going to school online with Hasina still, that she discovered her passion for playing video games.  As it turned out, thanks to literally every cell in her body being able to be used as a nervous and brain cell simultaneously, she was extremely good at these video games, and began to stream them, earning quite a following.

Several years later, Hasina and Rowan are living quite comfortably on the outskirts of Tokyo; just far enough away to avoid most of the drama of the big city, but close enough to get anything they needed if they wanted it, and they had a nice little home.  And this is where their story begins.

CHANGELING

TYPE: MUTATION
RANK/LEVEL: C+
SUMMARY:
The user is able to seamlessly alter their body's color, shape, texture, opacity, density, size and physical state (Liquid to Solid Ratio) at will with extreme precision (speed of transition is based on control). This allows them to seamlessly alter their physical appearance any way they wish, however the limit to the size that they can extend themselves varies based on the user's biological mass. Combat-Oriented Shapeshifting of any sort will cause fatigue at normal levels, but this is less the traditional 'getting tired' that a human body would undergo via fatigue toxins being generated by muscle tissue and more of a simplified biological energy. The users maximum size is 12' and well muscled, and the minimum is 3 feet and skinny when in humanoid form, or a bowling ball sized when in blob form.. 

The user's body is now a composition of identical cells. Every cell can serve as a brain cell, nerve cell, and muscle cell at the same time, as they are universal stem-cells. Thus, as the thought process is undertaken by different cells at different times, sleep is unnecessary and Eidetic Memory is also a side-effect. This also makes it difficult for the user to receive damage from physical attacks in the traditional sense (80% reduction to concussive physical, immune to piercing physical), the equivalent of punching or cutting a mass of Jello. The users default mass is 300 pounds.

The user is immune to poisons and toxins, lacks the need to breathe or a circulatory system, and when rendered unconscious the users body will deteriorate into a jelly-like consistency and puddle together. If damage blows away chunks of the users body or cuts off chunks, etc, the cells turn to transparent liquid and move towards the primary mass, even eating their way through materials if necessary, although slowly. The user will passively regenerate lost mass at 10 lbs every post to reach the users default mass of 300lbs, or more rapidly if fed biological matter or food of any kind equivalent to the mass they consume.  They can also consume literally anything physical up to steel strength (no eating fire or laser beams) without any harmful effects to their body, but the only thing that allows them to regenerate bio-energy or mass is food and biological material. In regards to biological things, it must not be alive for it to be consumed (don't worry, your pets are safe!).


WEAKNESSES/LIMITATIONS:
In order to become copies of other people (PCs/Important NPCs) they must make skin-to-skin physical contact in order to look like and sound like the target, but in order to have the proper biometric signature (fingerprints, pulse, retina, etc) they must consume a bit of the target's DNA (Blood, saliva, etc).  Any attacks based on fire or acid will cause extreme damage (2x Normal), however, as extreme heat and acidic cell destruction are a couple of the ways that the cells can and will perish. Any techniques based on electricity equal to a tazer or greater will hurt very badly, as the nerve-endings are contacted directly.  Extreme Cold can also freeze the cells solid, and while they will not cause damage, it is an effective method of capture.  Any parts that are beyond 100m from the users core mass will turn to ash rapidly and be lost, and if the users mass falls below two pounds and continues to be destroyed, they will die. Currently, no changes in form allows for an increase in strength or other stats beyond normal human capabilities physically for now.

RANK/LEVEL: C+
SUMMARY:
In possession of many skills, and they are the ones that Rowan has used to survive over the years, the first of which being Acting.  She can fill almost any role she sets her mind to, and with a precision to emulate people she has observed only for a short time once stealing their form.  


RANK/LEVEL: C
SUMMARY:
When the façade falls, however, she has two more skills that come in extreme handy, the first of these being Parkour. Pinning her down is extremely difficult as she will maneuver through crowds and obstacles like a breeze, weaving through them while barely disturbing anything she passed by or touches.


RANK/LEVEL: C
SUMMARY:
Aside that, she is quite handy with a variety of basic trade skills like mechanics, woodworking and other such things, the most notable being her technological expertise; she is capable of troubleshooting and fixing most normal electronics like computers and such, but not a super-hacker or anything crazy.
