Deepheat (Tobihi Ketsjuin) [VILLAIN]

THE BASICS

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE

She is thin, pale, and rather easy on the eyes on a first glance. Always one for the dramatic, Deepheat likes to wear clothing that matches her hair and reveal quite a bit of her form. The more people look, the better, and that means that attention-grabbing is a skill she excels at.

The easiest thing to notice about this darkhearted queen of crime is that she bears a chest tattoo that is rather hard to not notice - especially with how her clothing is designed to draw attention there.

PERSONALITY

Tobihi finds herself drawn to heat and its sources, this is why she was often found in saunas and places of their like around the nation - especially during winter months. More importantly, Tobihi is a charismatic, manipulative type. She isn't one to get into direct violence, but when she makes a move it is always fantastically on display. Her choices when it comes to resolving problems tend to be to wait for the right moment then to set them a funeral pyre while they're still alive and spread their ashes in the shape of her name or launch them into the sky riding on some fireworks. She's smart and prefers talking her way through things.

On the other end, she's hot headed. When threats are thrown, she's the quickest to act on them. She's not one for a slow burn situation. She's also very impulsive, this has lead her down a path with many lovers and sometimes multiple at once. In addition to this, she has a deep seated need for attention - failing to be the center of attention for too long just results in her behaving quiet childishly.

BACKGROUND HISTORY

Surprisingly, there isn't some great story of pain and tragedy in the background of Deepheat - no horrible past for miss Ketsujin. Instead, she is just a girl that struggled a lot with an absentee father caught up in his work and a mother that let her do whatever she wanted. This meant overall she had run of the house, easy access to whatever she want, everything she could ask for and more. There was no stopping her inevitable path that came from lack of supervision.

Tobihi didn't really hate anyone, she still doesn't. She wanted to be a hero growing up but her temper and need for constant attention and spotlight didn't mesh well with her classmates. Inevitably, in a bid for more attention she turned to crime. Small crimes led to larger ones and the eyes of organized groups. She found herself enjoying the attention enough this spurred her to continue to her work. She wasn't in need of anything greater, no group or subordinates. She simply wanted the attention to keep coming - more and more eyes on here. There was no such thing as bad publicity and she wasn't going to let even one negative word hurt her view of herself.

Inevitably, Tobihi found herself moving upwards in criminal society - a villainous femme fatale with a serious need for attention serving as her motivation. Sure, mom and dad don't talk to her anymore - as far as she knew they may be dead. That didn't really matter anymore, the eyes and lenses of the world were focused on her.

THE ARMORY

Her armory is short and simple

Fashionably Heat Resistant: Deepheat has a few outfits available to her, but all are made to be incredibly resistant to heat. No clothes melting on her watch.

Cell Phone, Not Melted Plastic: Good science friends have helped with a cellular phone equipped with a case that (actually manages) to maintain protecting it from her incredible heat.

QUIRK & SKILLS

---

FEVER

TYPE: Transformation

RANK/LEVEL: B-

SUMMARY:

Deepheat's quirk has two primary aspects: Her Internal Body Temperature and Temperature Resistance, both in a positive means and a negative one.

For simplicity, Deepheat sets her limits in Tiers for reference in her head. For ease of understanding, she does have the ability to utilize her quirk in portions of her body.

TIER I: At this point, this one is relatively easy. Her body is warm enough to ignite small papers and wood on contact. She can walk through most house fires without feeling it. She can maintain this the longest and contact with human flesh can cause third degree burns after three to five minutes.

TIER 2: This is the most common in a legitimate combat situation, Deepheat's body can bend and melt most metals including steel. At this level of heat, she can be a deadly threat and her body can resist infernos two times that of her own natural heat. Meaning in some rare cases, she can walk through flames upwards of 3000C. Contact to human flesh can burn off small limbs after just two full posts of consistent exposure.

At this level she can melt the concrete and manipulate her heat in such a way to heat and then cool it to create tar traps as well.

TIER 3: This is the last threat option; the burn it to the ground option. She hits heats that can be deadly to some, though with major downsides on her end too. This level of heat allows her to instantly sear through a few layers of steel - but she can only hold it up for about 4 seconds before her body cools down on its own.

WEAKNESSES/LIMITATIONS:

The first and foremost important detail, less of a weakness but important to know is that there is a visual tell for Deepheat's quirk. The warmer she is, the brighter her hair and eyes glow. This means that one can easily tell on a glance where she is in her quirk.

TIER 1: At this level of temperature, she can instantly cooldown without any danger to her body and even evaporate most waters. She can uphold it for nearly any length of time, this is just a comfort level for her. Though, at this point she can be caught experiencing chills and needing things like a coat in temperatures below 60F or 15.5C. She can begin experiencing hypothermia level symptoms in this Tier at as low as 5F or -15 C within two posts.

TIER 2: This is the actual combat level, she can hold it easily for about 6 posts of time without issue. She can, in need, extend her transformation time beyond 6 posts, to a total of 8. However, she will experience instant cooling afterwards, as her body goes into a state of physical shock: this is a threat we'll discuss after the other tiers. At this level of heat, while she is adept at ignoring it, if she didn't have the effects of adrenaline running through her, she would begin shivering at around 80F or 26.7C. After two posts in temperatures below 32F or 0C, she would begin experiencing symptoms akin to hypothermia. It takes 2 posts of not utilizing this quirk to safely cooldown from this level.

Tier 3: This is only capable of being utilized for one turn, and cannot be used if Tier 2 is below 3 posts remaining before the additional drawback. Once used, it will result in rapid cooling.

RAPID COOLING: If Deepheat cools down too quickly, dangerous things can happen. Her natural heat resistance scales with her internal body temperature, so failing to cool can result in burns to her own skin. Things that are incredibly cold can result in this even if her quirk is active, such as an ice or water ability on the same rank as her own. 

If she instantly cools at Tier 2, this results in damage to her body that can take multiple threads to recover from. This can include wounds include 3rd or 4th degree burns, lacerations, scarring and damage to her internal organs. So its not something she'd really want to really happen.

She can utilize Tiers 1 or 2 of her heat in her limbs with relative ease, only taking up half a post of use, but she cannot use half a post of use to avoid negatives, so this means she must split this among her limbs logically.

She is a massive threat to fire or heat users of a similar rank, simply due to her insane levels of heat durability. She is incredibly weak to cold and water users that can rapidly cool her. Though, her natural heat could evaporate most small water blasts without her touching them, a C+ or higher water quirk could begin to force rapid cooling after just three successful hits and a B- after two.

And of course, she has no benefits such as speed or strength coming with this, just heat and heat resistance, meaning without her quirk she is effectively human.

RANK/LEVEL: B+

SUMMARY: Having no superhuman strength or durability, she needs to be able to defend herself somehow. She is capable of a mostly defensive method of mixed martial arts allowing her to quickly disable and conquer lesser foes.

RANK/LEVEL: C+

SUMMARY: She has connections, this allows for ease of information gathering. Public knowledge information that is within a reasonable means for her to have, such as a hero's quirk and some of their super moves they've used before in a big fight, she'd know with relative ease.  This does not let her learn of player's unique, hidden information, but is mostly a plot flavor thing

RANK/LEVEL: B

SUMMARY: She is incredibly flexible allowing her to dodge attacks from lesser combatants more easily and be safer in combative situations. Also useful in private!
