Nadeshiko is quite average for somebody of her age and ethnicity, standing at five foot four inches in height. Her body is comprised entirely of a semitransparent pink gel that forms itself into the shape of an averagely proportioned female of her age, not particularly muscular in appearance nor overly skinny. As such, her 'skin' is an entirely unblemished membrane of glossy goo that remains soft and supple to the touch unless she wills it otherwise. Her 'hair', styled largely by choice, hangs neatly around shoulder level in strands of ropey goo that mimic whatever cut is particularly popular at the time, so long as it does not interfere with her work. Large, lighter than normal eyes peer shyly from beneath these tendrils of slime, often avoiding the gazes of others. Her hair frames a face that, either by her own machinations or simple luck, remains explicitly ‘cute’, with soft, delicate lines, a small button like nose and pouty lips.

Mutation

_{Q U I R K D E S C R I P T I O N}

Nadeshiko’s quirk, aptly named Gelatinany is a Mutation that has converted her entire body into a malleable, semi-elastic gel. Though she retains human characteristics in her normal everyday life, she is capable of manipulating the shape of her body at will to conform to whatever task she needs. For instance, she may sink down into a puddle to slide under a door, or stretch herself into a large circular sheet to act as a safety net. Though still amateurish at it, she is also capable of manipulating the properties of her jelly like form, making herself more or less solid, increasing or decreasing her elasticity, causing herself to become sticky or very slick, and various other unexplored effects.

Her goo is a very insulative substance, especially effective at deadening electricity. This gives her an advantage against quirks utilizing it. Conversely, this also weakens her against quirks involving high quantities of heat, as her body traps the energy in and it, for lack of s better term, causes her to “melt” and have difficulty keeping herself solidified. As she lacks any traditional organs, she is highly resistant to conventional damage. Indeed, the only way to truly ‘injure’ her as far as she knows, is to either remove portions of her gel like body or otherwise destroy them, causing her to shrink down in size and strength more and more until she is incapacitated or otherwise entirely dispersed. Traditional medicine is also ineffective in treating her, as only reintroducing separated sections, or introducing her to fluids to absorb allow her to regenerate her body. Orange juice is especially effective at this.

As an introverted individual, Nadeshiko is an avid reader with a strong memory. She is a veritable encyclopedia of trivial knowledge and mundane facts on a variety of topics, including an uncomfortable number of romance novella.

She is a very strong swimmer, both because of her physiology and from many a summer spent at Lake Biwa. She was the best member of the swim team at her Junior High and takes great joy in the hobby.

Nadeshiko is much like her quirk would lead one to believe; malleable. The child of a would-be hero scorned in the days of academia and consigned to the 'shameful' fate of mundane police work, she has been groomed from early on as a vicarious second chance at life. Given little autonomy or say in how her life has gone, Nadeshiko is a reluctant character who is merely pursuing heroism at the behest of an overbearing parent. It is there that her primary arc focus lay; becoming her own person and evolving from a silent wallflower to somebody with more backbone... Despite actually lacking a literal spine.

Sub-developments include earning a newfound respect for the idea of heroics. Rather than merely chasing the glory of a big bust, or being a renown hero of great wealth as she has been shepherded to crave, her more kindly side seeks to take joy in merely helping those in need. Her character archetype is more supportive than anything else, leading her to focus more upon rescuing the victims of a burning building over combating the villain who started it.

That supportive nature should ideally extend to her peers. Achieving friendships with students willing to break her from her shell and give her the shove out of her complacent ways is another goal, with her providing emotional support for their endeavors in return due to her empathetic and non judgemental traits.

Occupation
Journeyman blacksmith at Hao Ling's Hammer.

Place of Origin
Zuipeng, a medium sized town in the southeastern Fire Nation.

Residence
A small row home in the Lower Ring.

Appearance
This section should supplement the character art used, since we all know that it's never going to be dead-on. Other than the basics, think about posture, voice, tattoos, scars. It is mandatory to describe clothing style, especially for Fire Nation/firebender characters, because character art is unlikely to show them wearing Earth Kingdom get-up.

Personality
At least two full paragraphs about your character's personality. What are their main traits? Make sure that they are well-balanced with both good and bad characteristics, but also include one fatal flaw. What is the worst thing about them? Other things to include might be their greatest fears, how they perceive those either above or below them in status, their opinions of the Dai Li - are they in the right?

Likes and Dislikes
At least three of each. Consider more than just likes 'good things' and dislikes 'bad things'.

Skills
Talented Firebender: Wei has always had a talent for bending. Far from a prodigy, he was no less a very capable fighter during his tenure with the army, and maintains a certain knack for the art form. It has been three years since he's used his bending in any meaningful capacity, however, leaving him quite rusty and out of practice.
Trained Combatant:
Leader of Men:
Blacksmith:

History
Wei was born in the picturesque countryside of the Fire Nation some twenty four years ago. Hailing from sizeable town of Zuipeng, an agricultural settlement among the balmy southeastern crescent of the main island, he never wanted much for the necessities of life. Indeed, his father served as the mayor of the bustling hamlet, providing Wei with all the opportunity one could wish for among the plantations and fisheries that made up the surrounding province. His early days were spent chumming around with the sons of merchants and craftsmen, exuding the charisma expected of one of his station, and practicing his firebending at the finest of the few institutions that dotted the town. A talented bender in his own right, the lad flourished in his teen years, boasting himself the greatest fire slinger Zuipeng had to offer.

These confident brags would come to haunt him later in life. It was no secret that the Fire Nation was at war, having begun their march on conquest to "spread the greatness" of their nation across the world, by sword and by flame. The armies of the Firelord swelled with proud men of the islands, yet the folk farther out on the fringes of the nation lived on without the yolk of conscription upon their citizens. Until, that is, the sixteenth year of Wei's life. Months shy of his birthday, recruiters for the army rode forth into humble Zuipeng. The war to herald prosperity required more than the grain and livestock, ceramic and silk the town produced. It required steel and sons. Many flocked to the call, peasant boys looking for glory over the plows of their ancestors, or cocksure children of tradesmen eager to test the metal of their father's forges on the Firelord's enemies.

Wei was among them. He had a fine life in Zuipeng, that much was true. All the young men of his generation, coerced by honeyed words of propaganda, wished to aid in Lord Sozin's plight. How could he deny the call to march? Wei was his only boy, and popular among the townsfolk. The confident youth had a good chance of succeeding him as mayor, administering where it was safe, rather than dying on the fields of battle halfway across the world. The recruiters did not feel the same. How could they ignore the praises of his tutors, who spoke of their star pupil? Or the cocky swagger the boy had as he strode to their booths looking to enlist? Furthermore, what kind of leader would with hold his blood from participating in the worthiest of causes? His hands were tied; Wei would become a soldier, and a sergeant no less, a rank bestowed upon him for both prowess and station. Sixteen and arrogantly naive, Wei marched in line with two hundred others from Zuipeng, the last time he'd see his homeland.

Ambitions
What is the motivating force in your character's life? What do they most want to achieve, both in the short-term and the long-term? How do they intend to set about doing so?

Other
Anything else. No, there is no secret code-word hidden in the rules section, but read it anyway. Here you can put down any key locations you deem important to your character's plotline that you would like to be added to the OOC.
