It's showing fine for me.

 

[junebug]

It's showing fine for me.

I don't know what's going on. :( All it's showing is the "IMG" square thing when something's gone wrong. Iwaku has done this to me before with a whole bunch of avatars in one thread but idk.

Just a heads up for anyone on mobile...

You SHOULD be able to activate a desktop mode for your browser, in your phone settings that will effectively make the coding readable. There's no universal way, but generally you'll find it in your settings.. Something like 'request desktop mode/version'.

 

[Razilin]

started skimming everyone's powers now that people got 'em up:

@BearEnthusiast --> ink manipulation? that's a freaking cool visual in my head. making tats come to life, whipping people with ink, using ink as a grappling line....

@Elle Joyner --> invulnerability plus party buffing; we now have a Healadin tank on the cast =)

@IceQueen --> and here's our ranged DPS character =)

@Artorias --> this one's our "crowd controller"/"battlefield controller", what with being able to change the terrain

@Red Thunder --> he can make gates!? so what happens if he opens a gate to the inside of an active volcano? because that would be awesome. or, you know, opening the gate inside somebody to cut 'em in half. or opening a gate to the upper atmosphere and suck someone through it. this power's gonna be fun.

@espoir --> TASKMASTER! really one of this cast's only melee DPS chars

@Shizuochan --> another ranged DPSer! unless bloodbending eventually comes up, or the hydrokinesis involves crystallizing fluid...inside the human body. oh the ideas....



not gonna lie, transmutation and gate creation sound like the most tactically awesome powers out of the group, because of how creative that can get. manipulating ink just seems like the visually coolest power out of the lot. never heard of that one yet.

 

[Doctor Jax]

Hang Dao

San Antonio, Texas

general data

Full Name: Hang Bich Dao

Age: 18

Sex: Female

Date of Birth: February 23

Height: 5'3" | Weight: 120 lbs.

Hair Color|Style|Length: long, straight black hair, typically in a high ponytail or bun

Written Appearance: As slender as a willow, Hang has the build of a bird. She has delicate hands, feet, and face, but that is where her gentility ends. Her cheekbones could cut glass. Her eyes are almond-shaped and a deep brown, as dead as mud, and her skin is the color of green tea. Weekly facials by a licenses dermatologists keep her skin radiant. Her body is somewhat toned from going to the gym with a personal trainer, though she is by no means a bodybuilder. Oddly, her arms are quite bulky and buff from hours holding a shotgun, plying her sport at the shooting range. When she isn't wearing the latest style -- usually costing in the hundreds of dollars -- she's lounging around in a Juicy Couture sleep suit. She walks with grace, she talks with confidence, and she will cut you up if you don't watch what you say.

personality

There's no telling what she would have been like had her history not turned out as it did, but as it stands, there's not much else to say for it. Hang Dao is a massive, irredeemably angry itch with a capital B. Her demeanor is frosty, her delivery is stone cold, and she could peel paint off a house by glaring. If she smells even a whiff of weakness, she attacks it with the unrelenting cruelty of a cat. It's obvious that she enjoys putting other people down, but to what purpose is not known. Hang is used to getting her way, and when she doesn't, she usually reacts negatively -- which is putting it lightly.

That said, Hang can make nice if she's forced to. Usually, she just has to mention the money she's got in the bank and the amount of stuff she's willing to buy you, and the sycophants come rolling in. In reality, underneath the layers of anger, pettiness, and dumpster fire personality, Hang is actually very lonely, but she's not quite sure how to express this loneliness or make other people feel welcome.

Perhaps the only positive traits she possesses right now are her level-headedness and determination. When Hang sees something she wants, she goes after it with both hands and feet, bar money, lawsuit, or danger. She isn't afraid to dive in to get what she wants, or to get dirty either, and in a way that's almost admirable.

biography

Hang's life started fairly decently. More than decent, actually. Her parents were both doctors who emigrated to the US from Vietnam, taking her mother's two brothers with them. There, her parents began a clinic which quickly became quite lucrative in Houston, and before long the family was investing in other Asian businesses in the area, including Uncle Duc's grocery business in San Antonio. Hang's parents were attentive, if a little emotionally shut, and they ensured that she had the best education money had to offer, anything she could ever want, and more. For all intents and purpose, Hang was loved.

And then, the car crash. Both parents, coming back from a trip to see Uncle Bo, killed when an oncoming car crossed lanes in traffic in a head on collision. Hang was seven years old.

Her life changed from that moment. She was immediately sent to live with her Uncle Duc, her mother's youngest brother, while he took care of the finances from her mother and father's estate. Duc had no wife or children of his own, and so Hang was somewhat lonely. Things perhaps would have been fine there if not for the fact that Duc took the opportunity to be a bit more friendly than he ought with his then-7-year-old niece. It quickly became the new norm for Hang, who had no one to run to. She had been uprooted from her school, her family, and her life.

Hang adapted. Duc gave her anything she wanted, anything at all, though often those things came with a price. Hang learned to pay that price, and pay it in full, and so she takes solace in her many, many, many things. People often only want what she has, and she's grown accustomed to assuming that people only want her for what she can bring them. Hang has embraced this fully, and she knows she has a captive audience willing to put up with her needling and cutting for the sake of her money, and in a way she considers it poetic justice.

powers

Biomanipulation-- this ability is somewhat two-fold. Her body now has chromatophores, which allow her skin to change color with her surroundings as well as generate colors that wouldn't normally be present in her skin,as well as germ line cells that act as "material" to work with in terms of manipulation. The other ability is complete control over the growth and movement of her flesh, from growing bones to manipulating her skin to forming fangs. However, this is not done lightly. The more she changes, the harder it is to revert back to a human form, as her biomanipulation does not have a "natural" state -- she is what she is unless she deliberately undoes her transformations. Generally,
the "deeper" into her body she changes, the harder it is to change. Her skin is the easiest to control and functions much like an octopus's skin, changing texture and color, though getting the right texture and color of course takes practice.

Take note -- she can only change what already exists. She can expand her lung capacity, but she cannot grow gills. She can lengthen her bones and grow thicker hair, but she cannot suddenly sprout wings (not unless she starts getting creative). The germline cells can only help so much.

However, her abilities are strongly connected with her emotions. Quite simply, her "insides" start to match her "outsides", and under a significant amount of stress or emotional turmoil (plus a heartbeat edging over 180 bpm) she begins a total transformation into a beastly creature, over which she has no control. Exhaustion seems to be the only way to get her attention after this point, and perhaps a good talking-to is in order -- if you can avoid the gorilla arms and long claws.

@Red Thunder --> he can make gates!? so what happens if he opens a gate to the inside of an active volcano? because that would be awesome. or, you know, opening the gate inside somebody to cut 'em in half. or opening a gate to the upper atmosphere and suck someone through it. this power's gonna be fun.

Think back to the bit about trying to open a Gate where he thought was empty space but in fact was now solid space, or at least partially. There's no such thing as "empty space": if nothing else, you'll always have atmospheric particles and air. It comes down to a directly proportional relationship to the density and complexity of a space; air is simple and sparse, but a human body is most certainly not. Lava could be considered simple, but depending on the heat, it could still be rather dense. It is, after all, melted rock. That said, this is all early on stuff. With decades of practice, loads of skills get developed. Up to and including moving said Gates. Which opens up all kinds of opportunities.

But the atmosphere thing, for the purpose of this RP? Feasible. He just needs a telescope and preferably an object against which to reference.

Fia Russo

Millennium City

general data

Full Name: Fiorella Dorian Russo

Age: 17

Sex: female

Date of Birth: October 17

Height: 5'6" | Weight: 145 lbs

Hair Color|Style|Length: Straight/wavy chestnut brown hair, usually kept down to her mid-back

Written Appearance:
At first glance, Fia seems timid, even docile. She has a lean frame and a soft face, punctuated by her wide green eyes that ooze curious innocence. She tends to dress casually and doesn't mess with her hair much, having little care for fashion. Most would venture to say she's rather average. By looks alone, she's not one to turn heads. At second glance, people realize they are quite wrong. She holds herself with confidence, rarely ever lowering her head and maintaining quite a posture. Instead of innocence, her eyes are full of spark. She quickly turns into a commanding woman of her own, independent and free. She doesn't take any shit, and she's proud of it.

personality

From a young age, Fia displayed a keen sense of intellect, able to think on a deeper and more philosophical level than most children. She's intuitive, relying on her own experience and wit to solve everyday problems. Like many others, she is also quite curious, happy to explore even the most outrageous of ideas for its own sake. She's gotten herself in quite a few binds because she decided to test the flammability of various objects. That being said, she is not without practicality. When faced with a true challenge, she can apply herself rather well, coming out with a solution that is usually doable and efficient. She has a hard streak of determination and ambition, having her eyes set towards the future and its possibilities. If she puts her mind to something, she won't stop until she's done.

That being said, every person has their flaws. While determination can be fantastic, she has a tendency to cloud her own judgment for the sake of her goals. While not inherently cruel or misguided, she has a habit of disregarding those who are not her friends, making her seem rather selfish to her acquaintances. She can also be rather impatient with people, making her a rather horrible listener at times. While she could easily conduct a tedious experiment, she does not handle such slow timing in people. All of these traits make her come off as somewhat arrogant, self-absorbed in her own success. It doesn't help that she has a rather fond appreciation for sarcasm and vulgarity.

However, one noticeably good trait about Fia is her sheer energy and self-confidence. She doesn't care much what others think, and she will gladly put down a good book to spend time with people. In this way, she's actually rather extroverted, able to feel at almost complete ease even in the most social situations. She's charismatic if nothing else, able to get others to listen to her even if they don't like what she has to say. She has a tendency to speak in rather flamboyant gestures, especially if she's particularly excited. To her friends, she is unfailingly loyal. While she doesn't give a damn what you say about her, she would gladly risk her own reputation for the sake of someone she cares about. If she were to have any other redeeming qualities, it's the fact that she doesn't particularly care what your reputation is. You just have to prove that you can keep up with her.

biography

Fia's life as an only child has always been a mixture of good and bad. Her parents, both wildly successful and hopelessly eccentric, named her after her paternal great-grandmother, who immigrated from northern Italy with her husband in the early 20th century. Her father never bothered much with Italian culture, much to the dismay of the rest of the family. As such, she is only about a quarter Italian and doesn't speak a bit of the language. Her mother, a hilarious mixture of European countries, never gave a damn either. Regardless of it all, it's easy to let go of what you never had.

From a young age, Fia was thrust into the politics of her father's Wall Street investment company, as well as her mother's obsession with the fashion world. They both expected her to carry on their separate legacies. She rejected them both when she was finally old enough to be considered somewhat independent, opting instead for her own style altogether. She found that she adored science, especially chemistry and engineering. While most kids played video games or sports, she was reading college level textbooks. Although disappointed, her parents quickly realized that her curiosity simply couldn't be sated by fashion or stocks. They did try to lock her in her room once, commanding her to be more "responsible." The punishment confounded her, as she was doing perfectly well in school and had greater aspirations than anyone else she knew. In response, she climbed out her window, down a nearby tree, and knocked on the front door. Her father laughed for damn near ten minutes; her mother scolded her. In the end, they relented and decided to assist her towards her true goals.

With their help, she was able to graduate high school at 16 (she might have graduated even earlier, if her parents hadn't forced her to slow down a bit). She left for MIT shortly before her 17th birthday, aiming to be a chemical engineer. Three months into school, her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. Despite her mother's protests, Fia left school (after discussing the situation with the dean, of course) and flew straight to Houston, where her mother was receiving the best cancer treatment that could be offered. After two weeks of fighting with her mother about staying, her father stepped in and took them both back to Millennium City. Due to the emotional strain, she's being allowed to start school again the next fall. Until then, she's stuck, worrying about her mother and becoming more difficult to deal with each day.

When the meteor shower came, Fia was absolutely enamored. She watched almost the entire thing, hating that she had to even blink. She has yet to fully realize what her powers are. So far, only a few accidents have occurred here and there that she brushes off as mere coincidence. But, as a wise turtle once said, "There are no accidents."

powers

Pyrokinesis
Put simply, Fia can create, shape, and manipulate fire. When creating fire, she effectively excites the atoms of various objects to the point where they quite literally burst into flame. This power can be used in a variety of ways, depending on the creativity of the user. Melting objects, creating flame "constructs," and even flame shields are all possibilities that would simply require control and thought. So far, Fia has been in denial about her powers, blaming the spontaneous combustion of her recent experiments on freak accidents. Hopefully she'll figure it out sooner rather than later.

STRENGTHS
The applications of this power all depend on creativity, and Fia has quite the mind for it. Furthermore, the temperature of the air can augment her powers for a short while, if it's hot enough. She's quite resistant to heat, able to withstand temperatures that would normally kill humans in an instance. This means that her own fire, or someone else's, won't kill her and likely won't harm her much either.

WEAKNESSES
Fire is almost always limited by water, and Fia is no exception. If completely submerged in water, she cannot create fire and must use pre-existing sources (if she can find such a source). If not submerged but still completely soaked in water, she can still create fire, but it is less powerful and more difficult to control. Fire itself does not harm her unless she comes into direct contact for more than a few minutes, as it will then start to burn her. Although cold temperatures do not explicitly weaken the strength of her fire, she will find that it becomes more difficult to control.

INDIGO BLACKBURN

Millennium City, New York

general data

Full Name: Indigo Lilith Blackburn

Nickname: Indi

Age: Fifteen

Sex: Female

Date of Birth: October 31st, 2001

Height: 5'10" | Weight: 157lbs

Hair: Dark brown|Curly|Mid-back w/bangs

Eyes: Heterochromia | Left, silver | Right, Amber

Written Description: [spoili]Indigo Blackburn is a somewhat tall girl, standing at 5'9" and weighing around 130 pounds. She isn't quite as curvy as all of the other girls at her school; her shoulders are as broad as her hips are wide but her waist is barely two inches skinner than both. She's not exactly skinny, but she's not heavy, either. Athletic may be a better term to describe her, but she doesn't really play any sports.

Her face is round and heart-shaped, and her nose is rather unremarkable compared to her other features. Due to the fire that also scarred half of her face, one of her eyes lost its amber pigment, leaving it a metallic silvery-grey. Her lips are medium red even without lipstick, and her teeth are perfectly straight and bright white. Her mouth is always set in some sort of ghostly smirk, and her facial expressions are almost always unreadable.

Her hair is thick, wavy, and the rich color of dark chocolate. It falls to her mid-back when worn natural and falls nearly to her waist when straightened or wet. She has thick, eyebrow length bangs that she has to straighten, otherwise they would fluff up and stick out everywhere. She normally wears her hair down, but occasionally she will wear it up.

As for her clothing, she usually goes for a preppy tomboyish look, and although it's not unheard of to see her in a skirt or dress, she prefers pants or shorts.[/spoili]

personality

Attributes

- Selfish | Indigo could care less about other human beings when it comes to her "experimentation". She plays with people's minds for fun, while ignoring the consequences. She never offers to help others unless it benefits her directly.
- Secretive | She is very good at keeping secrets, as well as lying to cover them up. It's hard to get to know her well, since the only things she wants to talk about are her theories and predictions regarding her "experiments."
- Distrusting | As she is very reserved, Indigo finds it hard to place trust in other people, and in turn, others find it hard to place their trust in her.
- Violent | Due to her carelessness for other people, she can be very violent.

+ Intelligent | Indigo is extremely smart. Her grades in school are perfect, but she never boasts about them. Her older sister couldn't care less about her grades, so Indigo chooses to pretend she is average in intelligence around her.
+ Logical | She's also very logical, and she always is quick to think through up list of perfect strategies for everything she does. She enjoys playing chess, and has never lost a game.
+ Brave | Since she is very trusting of her strategic abilities, Indigo is very brave. She can and will do anything she sets her mind to.
+ Independent | Indigo doesn't enjoy hanging out or talking with other people unless it is required for one of her experiments. She only has one friend, Onyx Lear, but Indigo does 99.9% of the speaking in their relationship.

biography

Indigo Blackburn was born and raised in a small French village, where her parents had moved to from England just before she was born. Over the first eight years of her life, she was homeschooled with her older sister, Carnelian, and her younger brother and sister, Ross and Poppy.

She was born with chromesthesia, which was a type of synesthesia made her see sound as color. This made her a fairly artistic child, and her parents kept every single one of her paintings. It also made her older sister quite jealous, which in turn just seemed to make their parents favor Indigo more.

Besides Indigo and Carnelian's relationship, everything was great. But everything started going downhill when Indigo was six. She stopped painting, saying it was impractical and wasted her time. Carnelian got a scholarship for a college in the United States. Poppy, the youngest, was diagnosed with cancer. A year later, Carnelian was living in Millennium City and Indigo's parents spent almost all of their time at the hospital with Poppy.

When Indigo was eight, Poppy died. Indigo drew herself in, locking out her emotions. Carnelian flew back to the United States immediately after the funeral. Their parents grew careless, and one night that resulted in a terrible accident. They forgot to turn off the oven before going to bed, causing their home to go up in flames. Indigo was the only one to make it out, with a large burn on the left side of her face.

She went to live with Carnelian, her older sister, in her apartment in Millennium City. Since Carnelian was still in university, Indigo attended a boarding school upstate during the school year. During the Summer, she spent most of her time away from the apartment, where her sister would usually have a different annoying boyfriend or girlfriend each week.

Currently, her only 'friend' is a thin, ghostly pale girl with jet black hair named Onyx Lear. They met when they were both twelve and have been what some would call friends ever since. They don't really communicate during the Summer, when they aren't at school, and they don't know much about each other as both are very secretive, but they always manage to start hanging out as soon as they return to school.

powers

S H A P E S H I F T I N G​

Essentially, Indigo could change into anything she wanted. It's not really clear how she does it, but she assumes it's by altering her cellular, genetic, or possibly even atomic structure. If she wanted, she could transform into anything from a tiny ant to a huge blue whale, or something like a glass of water or a tree. But we're talking about Indigo Blackburn, the creepy girl that likes to mess with people for fun. With her personality, she's bound to be a whole lot more creative than simply turning into an animal or some water.

L I M I T S​

Specification | To shape shift, Indigo must have a clear, specific image in mind of what she is turning into. If she just thinks of a generalized object/animal, such as a "dog" or "chair", it will not work. (<<or maybe the transformation goes wrong? unsure on this part)

Unconsciousness | If she is knocked unconscious or falls asleep while in another form, she will automatically revert back to her normal state.

Energy Use | Some things, like making herself look like another person or turning into something else similar to her size or shape, will not take much energy. But if she were to turn into something much larger or smaller than herself, such as an ant or a dragon, she would expend much more energy. Therefore, she can only transform a limited amount of times in one day without exhausting herself. The number depends on the difficulty of the transformations.

Sensory deprivation | When taking the form of non-living objects such as a chair or a piece of paper, there is no way to sense the outside world. The process of turning into a non-living object is also quite painful.

KHALISAH KHOURY-SMITH

San Antonio, Texas

general data

Full Name: Khalisah Khoury-Smith

Nickname: Lisah

Age: 20

Sex: Female

Date of Birth: 08/03/1996

Height: | Weight: 5'7 | 244lbs

Hair Color|Style|Length: Dark Brown | Wavey | Long

Eye Color: Brown

Written Appearance: [spoili]The first thing anyone would notice about Lisah is her love for colors and outlandish wardrobe. Patterns, cut outs, things with not enough fabric, things with too much, anything is feasible in her mind's eye. Retro or modern, whatever's swinging in trend, she's wearing it. Well, more so, she's making it. She's a curvy girl, more so hippy than anything else, and she's not coy about it. This is her body, and she's owning it. Her long, brown hair is sometimes left down or fixed up, just matters on the weather and if her earrings are big enough. She has a strong face with prominent cheekbones and shapely brows. Her skin is naturally darker, and her eyes a glittering dark brown--nearly black.

She usually stands, hands on hips, with a wild smirk on her lips and a devious twinkle in her eye. Lisah will not back down from a conversation, a timely joke, sarcasm, a very dated reference, gushing about nerd pop culture, or just generally telling you when you need to hop back in your time machine and stop yourself from looking like more-amped-up-Guy-Ferrari. After that she winks.[/spoili]

personality

Let's begin, Lisah is a hot mess. Ta-da. The end, close the curtain, move off stage, and continue on with your sad little life. Alright, fine.

She's the sort of girl from high school that would smoke behind the building but never intensely. It was to flirt with a cute boy she liked, or to get the deets from a friend about another friend. There were always motivations and machinations with her plans. She was in the drama club. While she only ever had a short stint as Anita from West Side Story, even if she did keep reminding them that she was not Latina, she was fully invested. She'd design all the costumes. She had an eye for this sort of things. Colors, patterns, jewelry, symmetry were her religion. While other people saw things and enjoyed them for reasons that their brain just vomited out, Lisah understood it. And following that, was her understanding of the larger picture of things. Which, is not as good as it sounds.

She takes most everything at face value. She judges vehemently, gives that judgment easily, and then moves on with her life. She's most comfortable in a social scene, and even more-so if there's alcohol. Not one for hard drugs, as she says it "dampens her style." She's a fluid more than a solid. She's smart, but that's sometimes dwarfed by the words that come out her mouth. And those few that hold onto her as a friend, well, they're of the strong sort, and she is the lucky one. Her soul as transient as any folk song.

So, it's unfortunate that Lisah can't see her own big picture for all the colors, shapes, and patterns that distract her from it.

biography

What story do you wish to hear? Definitely one more interesting that the life of Khalisah Khoury-Smith. Sure, it gets interesting, eventually, but it sure takes its prescious time getting there.

Lisah was born to a first-generation Lebanese immigrant mother and a millionth-generation American father. It may not have been a match made from love, in the beginning, but it sure blossomed into it. They had two children. Khalisah, per her mother's naming conventions, and Gil, per her father's. They grew up in a small town outside of San Antonio. And unlike popular belief, there were no ranches, horses, or yee-hawing to be found. Her father worked in the advertising branch of an unremarkable sales company, and her mother had a part time job providing hospice care for those needed a stricter hand than the usual kind. And in all of that, Lisah and Gil fought like two children usually do.

And much like siblings, that spent way too much time together, they went entirely opposite directions when it came academics and interests. Lisah was everything art, drama, stupid foreign French Films, obscure sculptures, and smoking because it was cool. Gil was football. Hm. Maybe a bit more than that, but it did consume most of his high school years. Many people didn't even think they were siblings because they were so diametrically opposed. It also didn't help that their names were worlds different, and Gil had inherited his father's paler hair and skin tone. They may not have looked the part, or had the same interests, but they sure did act the part. They always had each other's back, and Lisah knew exactly who to ruin when someone talked shit about her brother.

Yet, their time together was quickly disrupted as Gil got a football scholarship to Texas A&M and moved away. Sure, the family still heard from him, but he was practically in another universe than Lisah. When it was her turn to graduate high school, she put all her effort into art schools and winning scholarships based on her fashion design and makeup effects. Unfortunately, the rest of Texas also wanted in these sorts of schools, and Lisah didn't have the money to buy her way in or the emotional torment to staple a tampon on a white board and call it expressionism. That kid got in.

So, Lisah did what she does best, she just decided to be transient. Which led to a month long bender, which she failed to follow up on any of her other, more stable, colleges, and so she didn't get in. Her parents, livid with her actions, forced her to get a job and move out when she'd made enough money to support herself. Lisah found a job a comic book shop in San Antonio, and shortly there after a roommate and a cramped two-bedroom apartment to split. It wasn't ideal, but it was something. And, bonus points, she got really good dealing with neck beards.

powers

In simple, Lisah has turned into the embodiment of gold, which is not to say that she controls it til the end of eternity and rules over it with an iron--cough, gold--fist. No. She's just able to wield it in many interesting fashions.

Gold Manipulation: Gold a is a malleable metal that is capable of being twisted and bent easily into shapes that other desire. So, it's not without saying that Lisah can control the gold around her to take certain forms, densities, and to move without the rigidity of a stiffer metal.
➥ Limits: She can only use her power within a 20ft radius. After that, the gold becomes inanimate and falls to the ground. Gold is also sensitive to extreme heat and fire, melting and becoming brittle respectively. It is also a conductive metal which can work for or against her favor. She can shock an opponent if she has the means for electricity, or an opponent can shock her.

Chrysopoeia: Basically the "Midas Touch." Lisah can turn whatever she touches into gold, pure gold, and not discernable from the actual metal found in mines.
➥ Limits: Can only use on inanimate objects. Also, the amount of what she is able to turn into gold is based on how long she touches something. Obviously, the longer she does, the larger, or deeper, the area. Currently, this is about an inch a second.

Gold Form: Lisah can turn herself gold, more or less. From there she becomes more resistant to attack, staving off both close ranged and far ranged attacks. And even if there is enough punch behind them, they may go through her given the malleability of the metal. This also allows for her to distort her body to get into hard to reach places, shield others, or generally try to take advantage in a fight. She can also add more gold to her form, but when she reverts back it'll just slough off of her. And yes, all of her is gold, even her membranes, and insides.
➥ Limits: As mentioned before, gold is weak to extreme temperature fluctuations and conducive to electricity. This would damage her further that just manipulating the gold, as it would affect her insides as well. Also, Lisah cannot revert back unless she is in her original shape. Meaning she can be captured in different forms and stuck like that until she can become human-shaped Lisah, again.

* This is a list based on her powers in prime form. Since only receiving them two weeks ago, take what she can do above by apply beginner style points.
