Partial Tranformation (Hair, eyes)<br/>B. Partial Transformation (Hair, eyes, chest)<br/>C. Partial Tranformation (Hair, eyes, chest, arms and hands)<br/>D. Full Transformation (Hair, eyes, skin, hands, breath)<br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Hair:</strong> Changes color to a natural red, which is the first sign of an impending transformation. Then the ends of her hair come on fire, locks literally become licking flames. The fire covers about ten inches from the ends and up, so when her hair is longer than that it does not look like her whole head is on fire (as opposed to when her hair is shorter than 10 inches, and it does look like her whole head is on fire). The fire can be compared to when a candle is lit in terms of heat and what it affects (paper and other flammable materials, gasses and liquids will catch fire upon touch), and how it can be put out (dousing with water, exposing to gusts of wind or suffocating the fire will put it out). It will however re-ignite with ease (unless soaked). If she's in an environment that contains elements which put the fire out immedately (heavy rain, strong wind etc) the fire will ignite and then die, ignite and die, for the duration of the transformation. This does not apply when she's exposed to environment that hinders the entire transformation altogether (such as being submerged in ice water). The fire does not affect her skin, but it will affect whatever clothing she has and it touches. Note: Keeping her hair long, means she can braid it when it transforms and tuck the fire into the non-burning part, tie it and use that method to limit damage/avoid attention to some extent. It's not a perfect plan since the fire will still show a little, but it helps. <br/><br/></li><li><strong>Eyes:</strong> Change color, to the golden, amber, yellow, reds as in the picture, colors flickering and flowing subtly. No other effect, neither defensive nor offensive.<br/><br/></li><li><strong>Skin:</strong> Changes color and appearance, so that it looks like molten lava in yellows, oranges and dark, deep shadows. It will begin with her chest and spread over her shoulders and arms, then the rest of her body from there. The texture (upon touch) is like normal human skin, and the defensive effect is the same as normal human skin. It heats up gradually, starting at a considerably higher than normal (around 40°C/104F) and growing (eventually) to the point of being far too hot for lingering touch and fragile materials resting on it for more than a second or two will be damaged. (Silks, satins, nylons, wool, etc will be damaged. Denim, leather, heavy cotton, etc will be intact for several minutes of direct exposure and then gradually start to damage.) (around 130°C/270F, think ironing temperatures. ) It takes between 10-60 minutes for her skin to heat up to its maximum, depending on emotional intensity. (She has only reached this max temp once in her life so far -when she was born.) Most frequent maximum heat is around 60°C/140F.<br/><br/></li><li><strong>Hands:</strong> When almost fully (C) or fully transformed, her palms manifest <em>Igniting Touch</em>.<br/><br/></li><li><strong>Breath:</strong> When fully transformed, her breath manifests <em>Breath of Ash</em>.</li></ul></li><li><strong>Igniting touch.</strong> <br/>When she transforms completely, her palms and fingers become so hot they set fire to any flammable material, liquid or gas. <br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li><em>Fire-retardant substances</em> will not be affected (rock wool, brick, ect). </li><li><em>Durable substances</em> will take extended touch to catch fire (wood won't catch fire upon a single touch unless it's extremely dry, for example, but holding her hands on a wooden surface for long enough will set it on fire -the time it takes depending on how flammable the wood is). </li></ul>Comparable to holding a burning piece of wood to a surface. (Note: not comparable to a torch since a torch usually has ignition aiding substances on it which will transmit to what surface they touch and this is not the case for Glow.)  <br/></li><li><strong>Breath of Ash. </strong><br/>When she transforms completely her breath contains ash similar in substance to that of a volcanic eruption. Causes respiratory discomfort, and eye and skin irritation if a person is directly exposed but no long term effects. The tiny particles contained in her breath (the ash) are visible, but small enough to go easily undetected if not in your face (har har ::) ). Her breath remains normal in terms of force of exhaling or inhaling, so she can not use this as a weapon against someone who stands more than a couple of feet away. Mostly a defensive ability. <br/></li></ul><br/><strong>WEAKNESSES: </strong><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Cold. </strong><br/><br/>Any temperature below freezing will hinder/slow down transformation <em>unless she is extremely emotional.</em> <br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Temperature of -30°C/-22F will <em>slow down</em> tranformation when she is extremely emotional.</li><li>Temperature of -40°C/-40F will <em>hinder</em> tranformation when she is extremely emotional.</li></ul>This applies to air and/or exposure to any substances, but when the exposure is localized it has localized effect. (Something extremely cold wrapped around her hands will not hinder transformation of other bodyparts.)<br/><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>When partially transformed (A-C): Direct exposure to substances (solid, liquid, air) of -30°C/-22F will revert transformation on the part touched, including hands.<br/></li><li>When fully transformed (D): Direct exposure to substances (solid, liquid, air) of -30°C/-22F will revert transformation on the part touched, excluding hands.<br/></li><li>When fully transformed (D): Direct exposure to substances (solid, liquid, air) of -40°C/-40F will revert transformation on the part touched, including hands.</li></ul></li><li><strong>Post-transformation vulnerability.</strong> <br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>'Natural' reversion: When she reverts from transformation on her own her skin is very sensitive and she is exhausted. It takes about an hour to get back to normal after a full transformation. It takes anywhere from ten minutes to half an hour for her to recover from a partial transformation, depending on how extensive it was. (More transformation = longer recovery time.)<br/><br/></li><li>Forced reversion from a partial transformation: When she's shocked out of a partial transformation by external efforts her skin is very sensitive and she's exhausted. It takes anywhere from ten minutes to half an hour for her to recover, depending on how extensive the transformation was. (More transformation = longer recovery time.)<br/><br/></li><li>Forced reversion from a full transformation: When she's shocked out of a <em>full</em> transformation by external efforts it causes stress to her heart which takes about five minutes to recover. Her skin will be sensitive and she'll be exhausted. It takes about an hour to get back to normal. </li></ul><br/>Note: After partial transformation A (only hair and eyes) she will<em> not </em>experience exhaustion, but will experience skin sensitivity. Her skin will be sensitive after she reverts to normal even if it did not transform.<br/></li><li><strong>Emotions. </strong><br/>All and any strong emotional outburst <em>will </em>trigger transformation, be it positive or negative. <br/>Negative emotional outbursts (anger, fear, etc) will trigger a quicker transformation and more frequently a full one than positive ones (joy, lust, etc). <br/>Mild negative emotional outbursts (annoyance, frustration, etc) will trigger partial transformation.<br/></li></ul><br/><strong>Notes:</strong><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>She has currently limited control of her powers and instinctively reverts to normal.</li><li>Reverting from transformed state to normal happens gradually from one stage to the next, variously quickly depending on how/why and the faster it happens the worse shape she's in afterwards.</li><li>Reverting from full transformation to a partial one will remove the manifestation of Breath of Ash.</li><li>She is unable to trigger her own transformation save for trying to rile up emotions, which isn't very effective for her as of yet.</li><li>Because of this, she's unable to defend against actions such as being submerged in ice water or encased in a block of ice, but will revert to normal and the cold will have the same effect on her then as any normal human.</li><li>Development ideas include control of her powers which would aid her defences in such situations (such as hold on to transformation by constantly triggering it to fend against the cold).</li><li>When fully transformed (and unless she's wearing fire-proof shoes or something) she will leave scorched footprints on surfaces where such applies when her body temperature considered.</li></ul><br/><strong>HISTORY:</strong><br/>On a dark November night in a small town in North Dakota, a young girl gave birth to a child on the steps of the town health care clinic. The frosted ground melted under her body as the child pushed its way into the world, screaming and blazing. The mother lay helpless, long exhausted from twelve hours of unassisted labour and her only thought was to get to the doctor to save the child. Her body tore with the flaming heat of a life not ready to calm down, a tiny but furious person who stayed alive only because of her smouldering hot skin when the mother faded and died. The next morning, people found the terrifying sight of the young woman, alone on the steps. The child was nowhere to be seen.<br/><br/>She had been taken by a couple who witnessed the tragedy and decided to 'take care' of her. They were convinced she was a manifestation of sin, and that they were obliged to take her in, this message from the Lord. And these not-your-average- Jane and John Doe raised her, then by the name Red, with brutal discipline alone till the age of three when their abusive behaviour finally got attention and she was taken away. Little Red got placed with a middle aged woman named Melody, a lovely, caring woman with the remarkable ability to produce music from any biological object, but she didn't tell child protection services<em>that</em>. She had taken in foster kids for years, and this time she had special interest since the child was... Unique. She named the child Emily and gave her the last name Turner, her own name. Aunt Melody taught and trained Em to control her power as much as she could. She believed strongly that their powers are a gift which shall not be wasted or taken for granted.<br/><br/>Fifteen years later, Em has gained some minimal control of her power but the element of it makes it difficult and when emotional or upset she shifts without being able to stop it properly. Sometimes she manages to almost stop it and then only her hands or hair begins to shift. Melody has tried her best to keep up and offer guidance, but being contacted to have Em part of A.C.E is a small heaven. Em's powers are simply too flammable (har har) for her to be able to help anymore. What used to be heating of her skin and minor bursts of heat when angered, has now developed into her described powers. Em's mood has too much affect on the outbursts and the force of them is growing with every passing month. Both Melody and Em are hoping A.C.E can provide the means for Em to control herself...<br/><br/><br/><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong>Kind, flirty, playful, reckless, doesn't let people in easily but loyal to a fault when she does.<br/><br/><br/><strong>EQUIPMENT:</strong>Gloves, boots, fitted pants and jacket homemade out of/lined on the inside with fire-repellant fabrics. Passes as biker wear. Two S.H.I.E.L.D. provided uniforms. Rides a black and yellow Honda Twister bike.<br/><strong>CHARACTER O/O's:</strong>Player's, but she has little experience with anything past some making out because... well... fire.<br/><strong>PLAYER O/O's:</strong>Here (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=76346.0)
