Name: Fred Bell
Age: 20
Appearance I: Average height, thin runner's build, blue eyes and short curly brown hair, premature laugh-lines around his eyes, high cheekbones, likes to wear colourful jackets, wears (needs) plain wire frame glasses.
Personality: bubbly, free-flowing, just a bunch of water puns.
Fred typically is determined, finding a task or goal and fixating upon it, and is very loyal to his friends. He has great self control and is good at hiding his emotions, but generally feels a high degree of empathy and likes to share his thoughts and feelings if he can, rather than bottling them up. He tries to (and succeeds in) see(ing) the funny side in all things, but can generally tell when not to laugh, and won't let this get in the way of solving a problem. He can laugh at himself and be honest about his own flaws, but at the same time places strong importance on whether or not people respect him and the respect he has for them.
Occupation: Student
History: "It's all footnotes to getting this magic mask."
Semblance Type: UNFETTERED
Semblance Appearance: A simple oval shaped mask, made of a thin layer of water that holds its form until pressed onto a face; it will burst like a water balloon (minus the balloon, so... like water) when put on, followed by Fred's whole body and anything on him.
Semblance Abilities: the water type that fire is super effective against
Like the waters: Fred can dissolve his body into water (and reform it!). His clothes and possessions on his body come with him, there are limits to what can take, his wallet goes with him but a car would not, the bacteria in his stomach would but a dog would not, a stick would, but if that stick is the railing of a building, at some point it gets cut off and he doesn't take that with him too. In this form he is not an inanimate puddle, instead he can project his body with substantial speed and pressure. Mainly this grants him mobility and durability, but there are some offensive applications too.
Puddles can die: upon transforming he starts at just above freezing temperature and cannot drop below this, exposure to high temperatures (be that hot weather, a house fire or flamethrowers) will heat and eventually begin to evaporate his form as if he were normal water, he can counteract this by drawing water vapour in from the air but this by necessity becomes less effective the warmer he gets. Significant evaporation (beyond a certain threshold) will mean he can't turn back without sustaining random injury proportional to what is missing (chunks of his body missing so very likely to be crippling or fatal) so he will either need to find a body of water or risk it to turn back.
People are 80% water, water is 0% a person: there is no time limit on using his water form, but anything more than a couple minutes using it and he will begin to rapidly succumb to the Essence, losing track of what he was doing and who his friends and enemies are, his memories and personality, his ability to communicate with people and to see himself as one of them. This is reversible upon transforming back, reverting at the same rate that he is lost to the Essence.
Appearance II:
Fallen Information: an entity akin to an ocean spirit or water elemental, to a human it is fully alien in desires, goals, personality and way of thinking. The Essence lacks that personality, but when Fred is essentially taking on its form, his mind and his that body are so alien that his personality can become lost in the alien format and fall apart.

Water tension is magic; can scale most surfaces in his water form, any material that is not hydrophobic and is not hot enough to evaporate water on contact can be climbed at the same speed water would run down it
Can't keep this damp out!; can squeeze through gaps, valves, vents, etc with ease, anything that isn't waterproof and water impermeable, he can soak through a brick wall but not one with plaster too, a shirt but not skin
Hose free; can project his water form as if he was connected to (and being propelled by) a pressure washer, letting him move fast in hops and smash and abrade targets, identical in effect as if his form was literally being drawn upon by a high powered hose, maximum effort would be akin to a firetruck hose
I can turn into water...; Fred as a human, can't drown or fall below healthy levels of hydration or catch hypothermia
Ever tried to shoot a puddle?; bullets, blunt trauma, knives etc are utterly ineffective at harming him, except via pushing bits of him away from his control, so sustained machine gun fire would still pose a threat but generally normal methods of killing people will not work
Dripped from the same puddle; he doesn't need to be continuous, he can separate parts of himself, and in normal activities this will happen, i.e. splashes and bubbles breaking off in rapid movement, so long as his constituent parts are still liquid and still within say 30ft of the farthest part (15ft radius circle essentially)
