▼ | P H Y S I C A L D E S C R I P T I O N : | Jasmine is a very pronounced teenager in terms of appearance. It's because of her pronounced looks because of her Ethiopian heritage. She just has that distinct Ethiopian facial shape. That means that Jasmine here is African-American to her very bone. Afro-textured hair, brown-skin, thick lips, and of course the African facial-shape. She has a slightly nerdy vibe about her because she is utterly blind without her glasses, and hates the fact that she has to wear them. However, the girl is much more in line with urban girls. It's the way she dresses and acts, after all. Jasmine has the aura of a model, mostly because she loves to pose, and take pictures of herself. She's a girl that loves to be in tip-top shape, instead of being a slob. Because of this, the girl's body is pretty well-toned from exercise and the biz. She has the build of a runner because she's a track runner in school. The rest of her body is well-toned because of yoga-stretches, and body building.
All of this means that Jasmine is a tad muscular. Almost like she is aiming to become a model. She does have a bit of body-fat, and all it does is make the girl curvier. I'll go into that later. The girl isn't painfully tall at five-three, but her build more than makes up for it. She has a pear body-shape, instead of the famed hour-glass - but she makes it work. With her lower body being the wider part of Jasmine, her breasts aren't anything to write home about at 34B, but her hips and behind are wide. Her perfectly round behind is the butt of many jokes.
Jasmine walks with a swagger in her step, and sways her hips left and right. She definitely gives off the aura of a vain female with all the looks she gives people that tells them she's the queen bee. Though, she certainly has a playful side. It shows when she smiles - and that's only when she's around the people she trusts very much.
▼ | P E R S O N A L I T Y : | A tad abrasive. Jasmine is a girl that is very vain and haughty about her talents, and appreciates all the love and admiration for being her home town's finest child. She has a lot of confidence in herself, and the skills to back it up, of course. She's normally laid back until someone sets off that flaming temper of hers, then she turns into a screaming maniac that is blunt as hell. Like, she'll give people the most savage verbal beatdowns on the planet. Jasmine is blunt in general, but honestly, she mostly reserves that for the people who annoy her the most. She speaks in a casual and friendly manner, and uses the lingo and slang you'd expect a eighteen year old to use. Not overly energetic, but she puts enough passion into her interactions that leaves a good first impression. Usually putting on a confident smirk. Certainly playful and confident with other people, and tends to spout jokes, and the sorts. Jasmine is so confident in herself that, when she makes a mistake, she owns up to it, and takes full responsibility for it. Most importantly, looking down on people who don't.
The other main trait about Jasmine is that she's incredibly competitive. Like, she wants to be the very best in the world, and will go to insane lengths to achieve that. She doesn't like being number two, and instead, will fight tooth and nail, going to illegal ends to become the number one. Either by bettering herself, or sabotaging the opposition. It all stems from an innate inferiority complex.
▼ | B A C K S T O R Y : | Jasmine Nnamani was born in Germany to parents that were very important architects that made plenty of trips around the world. That made the money flow in for the young Jasmine, and gave her everything she ever wanted. She was always a ball of energy... like, she was a limitless supply of it. Which caused her to act out without any real outlet. It would be years before anyone would even think of putting Jasmine in a sport. She started by first joining the local soccer (or Football) team, which served her well, until she got into basketball where she did much better. Putting that energy towards winning above all else. Sure, she had the energy to do it, but Jasmine talented at sports that she was showered with praise at a young age... and that really filled her head with the idea that she needed victory above all else, and made her incredibly arrogant. It wasn't long until the girl had become obsessed with the idea of being the very best.
With the world showering her with praise, Jasmine felt unstoppable... that is, until her parents got a divorce after her mother found out that her father had an affair with an American woman a few years ago, and fathered a child with her. She didn't even want anything to do with Jasmine, so she was left in the care of her father as the two came to America to find new business. Moving to another country was hard, since she was leaving behind her life of fame... and then quickly found out that America had a big love of sports (even some large leagues just for women). The moment Jasmine touched down in Seattle, Washington, she spent her time practicing and training for the WNBA.
It wasn't long until Jasmine encountered her half-sister Phoebe Sarin. The two didn't get along that well... at all. Given that Jasmine thought that Phoebe was a loser, and not even worth her time. Which caused a noticeable schism between the two, but Jasmine didn't even waste time on Phoebe, and instead single-mindedly focused on becoming the best. It wasn't long until Jasmine became queen bee of her highschool merely by sports talent alone. Her name became known all over school... but, not all over Seattle! She tried her best to get noticed by sports agencies, but, just couldn't. That was such a blow to her pride that she went to some rather... seedy lengths to get to that level.
Then Jasmine graduated from highschool with rather average grades, school was for nerds anyway. Jasmine was just going to try a little harder. That's when she noticed a change in her biology. She felt much stronger and faster than ever before. Her wounds healed at an accelerated rate, and she didn't feel the need to eat anymore. When in sunlight, she felt so much stronger. It didn't take long for Jasmine to realize that she was a Metahuman. She heard about them... She hated the concept that she could become an outcast to her own people.
It wasn't long before she was outed as a Metahuman, and forced to go to fucking space. She was essentially dragged here kicking and screaming... but, she best get this over with.

▼ | P O W E R C L A S S I F I C A T I O N : | Super-System
▼ | P O W E R D E S C R I P T I O N : | Solar-Absorption.Jasmine has the ability to absorb solar energy through her skin to gain strength. Whenever she absorbs this sunlight, it is stored in her skin until it is needed later. What does she use solar radiation for? Well, I'll tell you. She can use this in two different ways. First, passively, Jasmine can substitute solar energy for sustenance. She won't need to eat as solar energy empowers her, and instead provides her with all the energy she needs without ever having to take a single bite (She only eats because she wants to). She'll need to drink water, though. Thus, it gives her to have much more energy during her activities, and holds off fatigue until lactic acids kick in like a bitch. Jasmine's body-heat is also a bit higher due to containing so much energy, but it varies depending on how much energy she has absorbed. The average human is around 98F. Jasmine on the other hand is a good 150F at her very max. Which is hot as a mug on touch. Naturally, she has a higher resistance to heat... not enough so that she's immune to fire, but enough so that she doesn't cook herself alive. Along with being fairly immune to the adverse effects of absorbing so much solar radiation. As for the other half of Jasmine's ability, well....
- Regeneration.
The solar energy in Jasmine's being has fueled her regenerative factor. By absorbing sunlight, she can heal from wounds at such an accelerated rate that it's insane. Her regeneration at it's maximum allows her to heal from broken bones in a few days, and severe flesh damage should be repaired in an hour. That would require her to constantly bathe in sunlight as she heals, but that is still something that shouldn't be taken lightly. At it's lowest, her regeneration is only a few notches above her regular healing. The horrible wounds won't heal at a noticeable rate, but tiny scrapes and burns will disappear a little faster. Now, her survivability is brought up. She won't be surviving shots to the head, but she can sure as hell survive gunshots elsewhere without having to worry about bleeding to death. Jasmine's ability also helps her recover from contaminants like poisons, toxins, and diseases. I wouldn't say that she's completely immune, but she's definitely a lot more resistant.
- Enhanced-Strength.
Jasmine uses the solar radiation to infuse her muscles with a newfound strength like no other. The more sunlight she has absorbed, the more strength she has access to. Unlike her regeneration, she actually has to activate this ability. Her body will undergo a transformation where her muscles will begin to puff up, and grow much, much, larger. She'll go from a fairly fit girl, to having the bulk of a body-builder. Though, I should say that her muscles were modified to exert much more force. So, even if she doesn't look like she has the muscles, she is strong af. Now, to get into the upper limits, I should start with the "floor" of her capabilities. Jasmine, when she hasn't activated her strength, has twice as much strength as she normally would. So, she would be able to lift around two-hundred plus pounds with ease. At the very most, she can lift up three-thousand pounds (But, that'll require hours of sunbathing to acquire). Which is a damn lot. Anyone who takes a full force blow from her is probably not getting back up. Now, I know what you're thinking; "Oh, Allen, how does she survive this?" And I'd say shut up. Obviously her body is reinforced to a degree that she doesn't tear herself to pieces, you dumbfuck. Once again, her durability scales with the amount of solar energy she has.
▼ | L I M I T S | W E A K N E S S E S : | Of course, you probably realized this by now, but sunlight is a fuel for her abilities. While she stores an abnormal amount of energy within her cells, she also uses it up fairly quickly when she regenerates, or accesses her super strength. Which means she, essentially, cannot keep using her powers long-term, or she'll run out of energy. Jasmine will have to be constantly absorbing solar radiation... and the only way to do that efficiently is less than ideal to say the least. Speaking of which, to access the upper limits of her powers, she's going to be needing a load of preparation. Meaning, hours of sunbathing in skimpy bikinis. Which means it is possible for her to be cut off from the strength she needs if necessary. Thus, Jasmine is much weaker indoors/at night.
Unless she throws something, Jasmine will be restricted to close ranged combat. While she's strong, she's still limited by her stamina. Excessively lifting objects places a strain onto Jasmine. Like average humans, her muscles will tire out after doing it a lot. It's rather for her to overexert herself, and feel burnt out. Fighting at full strength isn't exactly ideal. While Jasmine is tough as nails, she still feels pain. A punch can't hurt her normally. Her durability mostly prevents physical attacks from hurting her, elemental (Specifically Energy) attacks are effective against her. Getting set on fire isn't pleasant (Her blood might boil!), electricity would knock her out, and etc. And, you know, she still needs air. Jasmine's regeneration, while increasing her resilience by a large margin, is not completely unfailable. Shooting her in the head/heart will kill her like any other person.
Now, Jasmine is much stronger than she is tough. Even at her very best, her strength still outpaces her durability. Throwing full-strength punches like wild would tear up her hand, and while she can regenerate, that's still not something she likes doing. In fact, by going all-out, she impairs her own healing ability. By activating her power, Jasmine immediately packs on a lot more weight because muscle (especially superpowered muscle) is very heavy. Which, in turn, fucks with her balance by a great deal. Now, in order to accomplish her regeneration, Jasmine needs to get the biological materials from somewhere. Either from the food she eats, sunlight, or... her body can start cannibalizing biological materials. Such as, her muscles, or her organs. Which she won't be able to get back until she gets other materials to replace them.
Jasmine is the best gurrrl - the only girl!
