About the Character
Character Personality: My, my, how to describe Mari...well, 'oblivious' is one of the first words to come to mind. She's often unaware of others' feelings and often doesn't know what the 'appropriate' emotional response to serious situations is. As such, she never seems to be in a serious state of mind, usually staying in an optimistic and cheerful state, although under certain circumstances she is known to frantically panic, and it is difficult to snap her out of this state once she shifts into it. Furthermore, thanks to her odd emotional habits or reactions to certain situations, people tend to find her annoying. Unfortunately, Mari never picks up on this until directly told. If you're around her, you'll likely need a lot of patience to tolerate her bizarre personality, including another odd/unfortunate (that is, for everyone around her, not herself) trait that she has developed...
The concepts of taboo or disgust are not ones that Mari's mind registers or can understand. Ergo, if something is taboo or something that others would find repulsive, she doesn't understand their disgust or refusal to do/go near the source of said reaction, or why it shouldn't be done. Furthermore, she cannot feel the concept of disgust herself, and oddly enough seems to enjoy most of the things you or I would find disgusting (for instance, something that would have an unpleasant stench to you or I would be appealing to Mari). Additionally, she has a habit of going into graphic and vivid detail when describing what we would view as repulsive situations that she has experienced, and unless told to stop, won't know to and will just keep talking. When others tell her of their disgust, this henceforth puzzles her, because she simply does not know what that means, not being able to feel it herself.
One final thing to note would be that when she fears something or knows something can harm her, it's never a minor thing...she will completely (however unnecessarily, depending on the situation) freak out over it. For instance, she is frightened of fire and of, in particular, snow, bizarrely (as such, she refuses to be outside during snowstorms, etc). She also hates being confined in small places for any length of time, and if unable to escape (which is unlikely) will immediately fly into a blind panic. It is extremely difficult to calm her down once in a panicked state...
...unless you give her something sweet. Mari has one heck of a sweet tooth and loves sugary food, her favourite foods being candy of any kind and (especially) pure honey; give her pure honey and she'll do anything for you. I know, it's weird, but that's what she's like. Unfortunately, this can be a weakness, as this can be used to lure her into potential traps.
Character Appearance: In human form Mari is a reasonably attractive young woman, with a height of 5'7'' and a slender, lightweight build. Her skin is quite pale, perhaps overly so, and her hair is orangey-brown in colouration, being somewhat untidy and kept at just above shoulder-length. Her eyes are quite distinct, in that the irises are a light blue-lilac in colour, shifting to a different shade of purple depending on the angle of light that hits them/the angle from which you look at them. In terms of her clothing, Mari likes wearing a short-sleeved cream-coloured t-shirt with an amber-coloured scarf, and a dark chocolate-brown skirt that ends about four inches above her knees. She doesn't like to wear shoes, so goes without.
In her Liquid Form, Mari is, quite simply, sentient slime. The slime itself is the same blue-lilac and has the same opalescent qualities of her eyes in human form. The slime, while able to think, move and speak, does not have any other features, looking simply like a viscous liquid. Oddly enough, when the transition to Liquid Form has been made, her clothes melt with her just like her body.
Battle Statistics
Character Position (Hero/Neutral/Villain): Neutral
Character Abilities:
Human Form abilities:-
Bursting Evasion: Mari simply bursts apart into liquid, literally scattering herself in all directions in order to evade an attack, and reforms immediately afterwards. Requires a four post cool-down and she cannot use any other ability in the same post that this ability takes place in. Cannot be used in extreme cold temperatures (e.g. in snowy climates).
Whipping Arms: Mari's arms form into whip-like appendages and she whips at an opponent with them to do damage. Has a range of about 6 metres all around her. Three post cool-down.
Slimeball Projectile: Mari hurls a ball of her own viscous slime at an opponent with force to deal damage. It also bursts apart on impact, dealing minor damage to those up to three feet away from the one who was first hit. Two post cool-down.
Stinging Touch: Mari touches an opponent's skin to deliver a painful sting, which deals damage. Two post cool-down. Must make direct contact with the opponent's bare skin.
All-Climber: Mari's hands and feet mutate into a partially liquid state, allowing her to walk and stick to walls/ceilings without trouble. While on a ceiling or wall, however, she can only use her Whipping Arms ability (in which case) and her Bursting Evasion ability; in this case, she will reform on the ground and not on the wall or ceiling where she was before. Passive.
Limb Regeneration: Mari can rapidly regenerate a lost limb over the course of three posts. She cannot use any other ability while this is happening, however, and is slower, leaving her open to attack. Passive. The regeneration of lost limbs takes four posts in extreme cold/in cold climates.
Acid Spitter: Mari can spit her own highly potent stomach acid, either to deal damage to a foe or to melt a stationary object (like a lock). Five post cool-down after use.
Liquid Form abilities:-
Snake Strike: Mari arches up in a cobra-like way, striking at an opponent within 4 metres of her to deal damage. Two post cool-down.
Ally Shield: Mari semi-solidifies herself as a wall of slime in front of an ally, preventing damage done to them by an opponent's attack. As a consequence, Mari takes the damage her ally would have taken, and a cool-down of four posts is required. If a Fire or Ice ability was used on Mari, however, she will take extra damage due to her weakness to it, and the cool-down is upped to six posts.
Telepathy: In this form, Mari communicates telepathically. Passive.
Abilities used by both forms:-
Accelerated Healing: Flesh-wounds heal over and disappear within the course of two posts. However, the damage dealt to her by said injuries stays the same. Passive. Takes three posts in extreme heat or extreme cold.
Bioluminescence: In darkness, Mari can make her entire body glow brightly. This can be used to light up areas such as caves to allow herself and allies to see. Passive.
Character Weapons:
Dragon's Dagger: The hilt of this dagger appears to have been crafted from bone, while the blade is a dragon's tooth, about a foot in length. A simple weapon that Mari crafted herself from the remains of a dead dragon on her travels.
Character Summons:
OOZE Beta - With an experiment like Project OOZE, there were bound to be a few failed attempts along the way. OOZE Beta was one of them; this creature is made of a similar slime to Mari, which is obvious even when it's in a 'solid' form. Its figure is similar to that of a raptor (as in, the dinosaur) but the creature is actually transparent, with skin that glistens with moisture (oddly, no organs are visible inside it, however). The only part of it that isn't the colour of the slime (aka a similar colour to Mari's, if slightly darker) are its eyes, which are a piercing gold colour, and luminous.
OOZE Beta's abilities:-
Acid Spray: OOZE Beta sprays a beam of acid at an opponent. Three post cool-down.
Bursting Evasion: Same as Mari's ability of the same name (see her Abilities section).
Character Racial Ability:
Slime Body: Being, essentially, walking talking sentient slime, Mari is able to shift freely between liquid and human forms at will. This can enable her to squeeze through any gap of at least half a centimetre in width, making her extremely difficult to trap. However, this has also opened her up to some quite severe weaknesses. Refer to her weaknesses for more.
Character Strengths (1 required): Highly elusive, willing to do things that others would find repulsive in some way, rapid physical healing/regeneration of limbs
Character Weaknesses (1 required): If exposed to extreme heat for more than two posts, Mari will quickly revert into a liquid state until such time as she can escape the heat (i.e. be out of the heat for at least two posts). Also, in temperatures below freezing, Mari will (if in human form) become sluggish and unable to revert into a fully liquid state (also rendering her unable to use her Busting Evasion or All-Climber abilities), or if already in liquid form will freeze into a lump of solid matter (she can still communicate through telepathy if this becomes the case) until exposed to warmer temperatures for one post, in which case she can thaw and become fully responsive again. Either way, this would allow her to be trapped or more easily damaged. This intolerance of extreme temperature leads to her taking more damage from Fire or Ice abilities. Also, her addiction to sweet food (especially honey) can sometimes lead her into traps.
Character History (Minimum of 10 sentences required.):
Mari has never known her true parents, or any true family at all. Those responsible for her 'creation' had attempted to create Project OOZE more or less from scratch twice beforehand, with little success. The decision was made to use a human embryo to 'mould' into the project they so desired; they stole said human embryo from a medical facility in the dead of night and took it back to the labs, where the experiments began. Mari grew up in the labs all the years of her life thus far, undergoing countless processes of genetic modification and such like. Eventually, when she was about 15, she was finally deemed 'perfected'... At last, Project OOZE had come to a successful conclusion. Or had it...?
Mari knew the extent of her extraordinary abilities and was extremely resentful of her situation. Thus, she made near-countless escape attempts, and was very close to success on a number of occasions. The security around the facility was upped, and guards stationed to monitor her cell every day and night to ensure that she did not escape. Mari, however, refused to be contained, and persisted in her attempts at freedom, unwilling to give up.
One fateful day, Mari managed to give the security at the facility the slip (by what method this time, she refuses to tell). It was decided that OOZE Beta, a failed version of Project OOZE created before her - it was deemed a 'failed project' as it lacked a number of the key abilities they wanted the organism to have, such as the rapid limb regeneration or ability to stay in liquid form for long periods of time - would be sent out to track her down, as it had been observed by the scientists before that OOZE Beta was drawn to Mari's scent. Unfortunately for them, their plan was once again a failure; OOZE Beta found Mari, but had no interest in capturing or killing her, probably because of how similar her scent and the substance that made up her body was to its own. Essentially, when it looked at her, it saw itself. Thus, the two ran further, and 'disappeared' with no trace... They remain on the run, however, to this day.
