Alkaline

18

Gender
Female

Precautions
Displays no need for precautions.

Personality
Jane can be described as energetic, hyperactive, and extremely single-minded towards one thing - Justice! More specifically, protecting and saving people! Nothing gets her slime boiling more than the thought of going out and putting smiles on people's faces. Jane finds the thought of even trying to leave a person in need behind deplorable, and no matter how minor their need, she will aid them. Such dedication has made it very easy to integrate her into the hero program.

This dedication has also made her incredibly easy to manipulate - she will do nearly anything as long as someone says please and it doesn't hurt anyone. Dumping work on her is simple, and getting information is as easy as asking her.

This almost obsessive need to please others arose from her harsh upbringing, where she was abused heavily whenever she didn't pull her own weight - both physically and mentally. She even dropped out of high school in order to take a job and help her family pay the rent - which was also how she got transformed into what she is now. While she tries not to let anyone know, she holds her father responsible, and despises him for it.

While most are probably appreciative for their powers, Jane only enjoys that it allows her to help people far easier. In nearly every other way, it has restricted her and made her life more difficult - she is barely able to do things a normal person can do blindfolded in terms of dexterity, and she is not very strong. At the very least, it makes rescue missions easy!

Jane typically acts with a bombastic and loud-mouthed persona - she shouts about how "real men never give in to adversity!" and usually laughs when people point out she isn't a man. While she acts like this whenever around many people, she quickly becomes quiet and docile when alone. The hero attitude is merely an act that she uses in order to make people feel at ease - she adopted this from her favorite hero, Phoenix Dawn, doing her best to emulate his mannerisms.

For fun, Jane mostly tries to help out the New Horizon staff with things like cleaning, which she prides herself as being one of the best at. Other than that, she enjoys watching movies, playing tabletop and board games, and watching other people play video games (she can't use a controller).

She used to love cooking, but is no longer able to cook due to her lack of dexterity.

Powers/Abilities

Liquid Physiology

Due to a freak chemical accident, Jane's body is a liquid which is bright yellow in color, and possesses little, if any solids. Despite lacking any major organs, Jane is still capable of all major senses and can move without muscles - essentially, she is a blob with all normal human abilities. She can move and store objects in her body, but lacks any semblance of dexterity, making actions like typing or using a key impossible.

If she is cut in half, or otherwise split into multiple bodies of liquid, she is only in control of the larger half - the other pool retains any properties that the body had before splitting.

Property manipulation

Jane is capable of manipulating the properties of her body - from the viscosity to the pH. Actually, these and the shape her body takes are pretty much the only thing this power is capable of. Jane is capable of becoming an acid which can melt through a foot of stone with a minute or two of effort, but steel and most metals require far longer - if they are even able to be dissolved in the first place. She can change her viscosity anywhere from pitch to half of that of water. Finally, with effort, Jane can shift the shape of her body - the detail is very poor, however. At most, she could form a hand and wave, or flatten/raise the size of her body.

Changes of properties can affect either the whole body, or just a certain part.

Other than these three characteristics, Jane is unable to change anything about her body.

Strengths
Can melt/squeeze through most obstacles
Strong physical durability - can be slashed in half and simply reform
Manipulation of Viscosity allows a very strong restraint of enemies.
No "weak points" (throat, head, etc.)

Weaknesses
Extreme weakness to elemental damages (boiling/freezing point of water, electricity knocks her out very easily due to conductivity, soluble in water, etc.)
Personality makes dissolving an intelligent/ human enemy impossible, forced to restrain them instead.
Dies if controlled mass cannot fill a cup - powerful blunt attacks could send small chunks too far to reform.
Slower than most normal people, both physically and mentally.
Ledges are very difficult to circumvent. Anything taller than her is pretty much unassailable.

Appearance
A blob of liquid that can be roughly 8 feet in diameter at it's largest, and a cup of water in size at it's smallest, Jane is one of the most distinctive heroes in the entirety of New Horizon due to her completely inhuman appearance. Normally, she is neon yellow in color, and possesses a thick and gelatinous texture - similar to jello or slime. Upon consuming any object or substance, her body adopts the same coloration as the substance, which usually lasts for a few minutes.

With concentrated effort, she can make very simple shapes from parts of her body - these include things like a simple hand, Text, or shapes. This is fairly tiring to do, and is purely cosmetic, however.

History
Born to a rather poor family in New York City, Jane had always lived her life for the sake of other people. Her family consisted of her father and her younger sister - Jane's mother died from Lung Cancer caused by asbestos exposure. Ever since her mother's death when Jane was only 8 years old, she had taken care of the domestic chores around the house, including cleaning, cooking, and taking care of her younger sister. Her father, a demolitionist, regularly complained about how his children weren't pulling their weights.

On Fridays, Jane's father typically drank heavily due to the fresh paycheck. Most of the time, he would simply pass out, but on more than one occasion he had physically assaulted Jane for "not doing any damn work." Jane, fearful that her father would one day raise a hand at her younger sister, simply accepted the occasional beating as a part of life. Jane's life passed by like this for a few years - helping her younger sister with school work, taking care of the house, and doing her best to hide her home life from friends at school.

At the age of 14, Jane had finally decided to do more. She knew that she would never enter college - she was a C student, and there was no way her father would pay for tuition. Instead, she decided to get some experience - she began to volunteer at several charity groups, appreciating the fact that she could change someone's life for the better. She always looked up to heroes that helped others, the saviors of the world like Phoenix Dawn or Victory. She wanted to be like them, even if she was only some kid from the Bronx without any powers. This became a dominating part of her life, and her main use of free time. At the very least, it would help land her a job in the future.

Jane dropped out of high school at 17. Or, more specifically, her father dropped her out. He had recently gotten laid off, and with a new job and severely reduced salary, the Martin family needed another income in order to make the rent. The charity worker that she worked with the most, Jackie, managed to land her an under-the-table job at a chemical processing plant. The pay was decent considering she didn't even need a high school education, and the people were nice. For the 6 months, she worked hard to make ends meet while keeping up with the housework at the same time.

She hadn't slept the last 2 days when the accident happened. She was working overtime, and only her and several other workers were still present. It only took an instant, a slight drowsiness as she was checking the large pool of waste below her. Next thing she knew, the air was rushing past her face, and she hit a thick and gelatinous slime. She passed out as her flesh melted from her bones.

Next thing she knew, she was in her new form, inside a drainage pipe that led to the Hudson river. She spent the next 3 months in hiding - eating (dissolving?) random animals and garbage she found. It wasn't until she saved a hiker that broke his leg in the forest that Jane was hiding in that she realized her purpose. She had already learned a decent amount about the abilities of her body - and knew that she could use them for justice. Jane turned herself into New Horizon voluntarily, knowing the risks that vigilantism presented. She had only been in the organization for a month, but if she was lucky, she might be able to actually make a difference.

Other
Jane is unable to dissolve humans and sapient life in her acid - animals and dangerous creatures without intelligence can be dissolved, but due to emotional and psychological restrictions, Jane refuses to ever dissolve a person.

Jane adopts the color of whatever she has most recently eaten, usually for 10-30 minutes. When she has not eaten anything in that time frame, she adopts a bright yellow color.

@ShwiggityShwah Yeah, I could see him being pretty useful for that. If the enemy makes the mistake of daydreaming about their victory, he'll be able to scope around.
