Full Name: Mika Sasaki
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Dorm: Pyxis
Power(s): Mika's powers are based on elemental creation and manipulation, specifically Shadow and flame. She was born with natural talent, but these were enhanced (see family section). She can create and manipulate fire generally in an offensive manner. For example she can create flame attacks and flame shields with some level of control, but she would have difficulty with something mundane such as lighting a candle. In terms of shadows she also uses them offensively, using it like dark energy. The most common form her shadow powers take is that of shadow tendrils. If she is cornered these will appear on instinct like a protective cocoon of sorts. Her shadows hold no physical form and she cannot currently manipulate existing shadows. She also can use shadows as a form of transportation, traveling between them.
Her control over both is shaky. Over the last 8 years she has barely used them without it being unintentional, but she still remains a basic understanding of her abilities. When she is flustered or begins losing control the two elements merge into a dark flame. These have the same basic mechanic but are more destructive.
She also has the ability of flight from her wings.
Appearance:
Mika has a slender build. She stands at 5 feet 3 inches tall, weighing all of 120 when soaking wet. She has long straight silver hair that falls to her waist. Her complexion is that of porcelain, which suits the delicate features of her face well. Her eyes stand out normally as a stormy grey, but they shift to an ice blue with her personality shift. She has several scars on her abdomen, her arms, and her wrists from her past that she generally hides with her clothing. Finally she has a pair of large black feather wings. Her style of clothing tends to have a Gothic edge, most of which is made herself in order to accommodate her most defining feature. She always wears a black metal choker with a star Ruby set in it.
although the artist of this exact image is impossible to find, picture is of Suigintou from Rozen Maiden.
Personality:
As a coping method, Mika has repressed most of the memories of her early life. At the orphanage, she was an outcast. None of the other children had any abilities like her, and wings often cause one to stand out. Due to this Mika is very reserved and quiet. She has a hard time opening up to people and trusting them. However if you can get through the walls she puts up, she is fiercely loyal, caring, and kind-hearted.
Mika spends most of her time alone, and can often be found in a place such as a library. She loves to read and learn about the world around her, mythos of old, and practically anything she can get her hands on. When fully engrossed in her books or studies she chews on her thumb or at the corner of her lip. Despite being used to being alone she does sometimes wonder what it is like to have anyone she could be close too.
Her violin is her most prized possession and she plays it religiously. She plays most days, but she is especially drawn to it when she needs to calm or collect her mind. When she is playing she is practically lost in the music, often not noticing if anyone else is around, though she likely wouldn't start playing if she knew someone was watching. Her last hobby came as somewhat a necessity, but she has found love for it over the years.....sewing. It's was hard to find clothes suitable to handle her wings at the orphanage, so she began to make her own over the years.
Mika hates crowded places, generally feeling out of place. Not only does she not have the most outgoing personality to begin with, she hates to draw attention to herself. That being said, until now she has never know a place she could go somewhere and not draw gazes simply due to her wings. If she must be around large numbers of people she is likely to be found in the shadows or a corner, trying to blend with the wall. Like any good introvert she ends up needing time to herself after being around people for extended periods of time. When she is nervous she has a tenancy to bite at her lower lip, and her wings twitch.
Not a lot makes her truly mad, but if someone is hurting a friend (if she were to make any) that would be the quickest way. She is likely to take abuse to herself, but is much more likely to fly off the handles for others. She also despises being lied too.
Due to the aggressive experimentation and training her father put her trough she developed a split personality, in order to keep her mind from completely shattering at the time. Her kind natures had directly opposed to her fathers wishes. So in order to cope with the things that his mental condition put her through, the personality Miyako was born. Mika's polar opposite in almost every way, Miyako is aggressive, hot-tempered and icy. Miyako tends to appear under certain conditions. If Mika is upset, stressed, or angry she is more likely to retreat and allow Miyako to surface. This is not a conscious decision however, as Mika is not aware of Miyako. Also is a situation were to appear that mimicked her fathers conditioning or trigger words, Miyako would take over as a coping method.
Weaknesses:
Mika's psyche is incredibly fragile after the years she spent with her father. She is quick to breakdowns, and her powers often become more uncontrollable as she loses control of her emotions. After a loss of control Mika will grow wary of her own abilities, and resist using them at all. Also as she was created specifically to be a weapon, under the right triggers she is at anyone's beck and call. Her father may have been the one to condition her, but if someone were to replicate the triggers Mika would fall right back into her conditioning. Cold also stunts her powers, especially her control of flame. If she herself gets too cold, she cannot hope to have any ability to control flame at all. Likewise, the more light is in a given location the harder it is to generate her shadows.
Strengths:
Despite her upbringing Mika still has several strengths, not that she herself would be likely to tell you they were strengths. She has spent years teaching herself the violin and is quite good at it. She often plays to soothe her own nerves. She is also quick witted and smart, having a passion to learn most anything she can get her hands onto.
Also despite her general distaste for it, when push comes to shove, she can hold her own in a fight. Having essentially been created for such a purpose, she can protect herself or those she cares for.
History & Family:
Mika's father had always been fascinated with the supernatural. Having been born with no special abilities of his own, he started looking into the darkness, desperate to wrap his hands around any power he could grasp. As he found his first taste of power he fell further and further away from what would be considered socially acceptable. He amassed power by experimenting on himself, forcibly implanting it at the cost of others. In time he began to experiment on his wife as well.
After several years Mika's mother conceived a child. During the pregnancy her father kept a close watch on the unborn child who showed signs of possessing her own natural powers. The child's developing powers however seemed to take a toll on the health of her mother, causing her health to begin to deteriorate. When the child was born, she was morn with what most would have deemed a terrible birth defect or mutation.....jet black wings. Otherwise the child was healthy. Her mother however, only lasted long enough to give the child a name and a loving smile.
With the gift of life her mother left her, paid for with her own, Mika's father saw his golden opportunity. He now had the chance to make his perfect weapon of chaos and destruction. He had his own test subject who had their own natural ability and the supernatural. His daughter.
The girl immediately became more science experiment than daughter. He put her though years of treatments to strengthen her powers and push them to their limits. Years of being forced through scenarios and tests to use her powers to harm and destroy. All the while her father worked her through mental conditioning to be able to turn her destructive nature on at his whim.
However in the end her mentality was too fragile for her fathers liking. After one too many times of her coming out of one of his tests in a sobbing or catatonic state he abandoned the 8 year old girl at a remote orphanage where she has lived.....until now.
In Character sample:
"No stop!"
In the darkness of the silent room Mika bolted up right from her bed. Her face was drenched in a cold sweat and drained of any color while her hand clutched at her chest. For a long moment the only sound in the room was her own breathing and the soft wind outside the window. Finally calming herself to the point where she could once again collect her thoughts she sighed and leaned her head against the wall. "Another nightmare...." She murmured under her breath.
Knowing she would not soon fall back asleep if at all, she pushed the thin beige sheets off herself and walked to the window. Her footsteps echoed through the room as she walked. The room itself was practically bare, expect for a single bed shoved against the north wall, as small 2 drawer dresser, and a worn desk. The only proof that someone inhabited the room usually was packed away in a few small bags and an old violin case.
When she made it to the window she pushed it open with a creak that showed the buildings age. Immediately the brisk wind outside filled the small room with the scent of the pines that surrounded the orphanage. Her ebony wings twitched behind her softly as the chill began to settle onto her skin. With a half smile Mika leaned out the window. "There won't be much that I will miss from this place......but I will miss this smell." She shook her head with a small smile as she looked back to the small pile of belongings. Tomorrow she was off to a new school, maybe somewhere she would actually fit in.
She had spent most of the life she could remember in this room. She had been at the orphanage since she was 8, and no one was ever going to adopt the likes of her. She never really interacted much with the other children, nor the caretakers, as she knew she made them uncomfortable. The few times she had tried to play with the other children when she had first arrived had only resulted in her being pelted with rocks, and every time prospective parents had come to visit she had been locked in the room with no meals. A frown began to settle over her lips, as the first rays of daybreak began to crest the . "Like I said....not much that I will miss."
With that she closed the window and pushed her hair away from her face. She walked over to the pile of bags and rifled through them to grab a change of clothes. She laughed softly to herself. "I might as well head out now. Its not like anyone is going to be lining up to say goodbye."
