Basic Physical Description: Sescie is a Eurasian. Her mother is English while her father is Japanese. Sescie always thought she looked more like her mother than father, although her Asian features are more overpowering.
Sescie’s skin is fair although she spends most of her time under the sun. Her face is oval shaped. Her eyebrows are forever knitted together as she is constantly frowning. Her eyes are almond shaped and dark brown in colour, though they will change to scarlet red when her emotions are high or unstable. Her nose is straight and high, something Sescie inherited from her mother. She has full lips that look pretty when she smiles, but she hardly does, and it usually a sarcastic smirk. Sescie’s chin is narrow and soft-looking, which gives her a delicate look about her face. This does not suit her personality at all, and she wishes she had a stronger chin. Sescie’s natural hair colour is black, but it is never that way for long. Her hair is straight and long. It is forever let down, for she hates to tie it up. There is a tattoo of a broken black heart enveloped in flames on her back.
Sescie is slim and muscular, for she works out whenever she can as she believes in keeping fit and healthy. Sescie usually wears light clothing on her upper body, usually a singlet, a pair of cargo pants or jeans and combat boots. When she goes out, she wears a pair of fingerless gloves and a trench coat. Sescie only wears black, as it is her favourite colour besides red, and also because black absorbs more heat than other colours.
Personality: On the surface, Sescie is usually cool and composed, and is often quite sarcastic. She believes it is every man for himself, and will not help anyone in trouble except when it benefits her or deems it her problem. Then she will go all the way to make sure everything she wants happens. Sescie is quite independent, and prides on the fact that she never needs to ask for help. When she comes across difficulty, Sescie will try her hardest to put it behind her, she is too proud to admit defeat. In this sense she is also quite stubborn. She is also outspoken and will speak her mind, without thinking of the consequences. Her tongue has often led her to trouble. She is rather impatient and hates slowpokes.
Sescie is a feminist and believes that women are just as good as men, if not better. She hates child abuse and will get into a fit of rage whenever she sees any parent hitting a child. Sescie herself was abused by her stepfather when she was younger, and all the love and trust she felt before vanished. She is afraid to commit in relationships, as she is scared she will be hurt again. Greg, her boyfriend in the orphanage tried to abuse her sexually when he found out she was a mutant, but she managed to fight back and run away.
Sescie hates humans, especially the ones who have hurt her in the past. She sees them as weaker beings, and hopes that she can help change the world. She believes mutants hold a higher rank in society as they are gifted; she no longer sees her powers as a curse but a gift, a special talent. Sescie has a fear of cars, as she was involved in one many years ago. It was in that accident that her father died. Sescie is also aquaphobic, she cannot swim.
Mutant Powers: Sescie has the ability to absorb heat. Her heat absorption factor allows her body to absorb heat naturally, but at a faster rate than most people. This heat will be stored in her body for further use. The heat can come in many forms, such as the sun, fire or even electrical appliances. If Sescie touches overheated electrical appliances, the heat will be transferred into her own body, as a result cooling down the equipment. She is able to transfer great amounts of heat into things, causing overheat or explosion. Because of her heat absorption factor and her mutation, Sescie’s body is able to withstand large amounts of heat. Her heat absorbing limit is 150 degree Celsius, four times the normal body temperature. After Sescie has absorbed her limit in heat, she will be exposed to burns and blisters.
Besides that, Sescie has the ability of disintegration. Sescie can disintegrate various kinds of matter into ash or liquid by using her hands, depending on her body temperature and the condition of the weather. Sescie calls this her Burning Touch. She uses the heat stored from her heat absorption ability to disintegrate matter, be it living or otherwise. To be able to use the Burning Touch, Sescie’s body temperature must first reach up to 40 degree Celsius. Since her heat absorbing limit is 150 degree Celsius, her Burning Touch’s temperature cannot go higher than that.
When Sescie touches solid matter, the heat waves from her body will vibrate from her hands into the object and melt the particles, thus reducing them to ash or liquid. The object will turn into a liquid form if her body temperature doesn’t reach above 100 degree Celsius. But if her body temperature passes 100 degree Celsius, the matter will turn directly into ash. If a small object like an apple takes 30 seconds to disintegrate at a temperature of 150 degree Celsius, larger objects such as a bicycle would take around 8-10 minutes. A car would take approximately 20-30 minutes. Because of the long time span, Sescie avoids larger objects unless necessary. Sescie is immune to her Burning Touch, because her heat absorption ability allows her body to withstand up to 150 degree Celsius of heat, which is the maximum temperature of her Burning Touch.
Weaknesses: As Sescie only got her powers for a few years, she is still unfamiliar with them. She cannot use her powers for long without becoming exhausted or dehydrated. Sescie’s heat absorption factor allows her body to absorb heat naturally, but at a faster rate than most people. When Sescie’s body starts to overheat, she needs to release the heat by using her powers. She cannot pass her temperature limit of 150 degree Celsius or her body will overheat and can cause internal damage to her organs and brain, or even render her in comatose. One of the signs of overheating in Sescie is that her eyes will start to glow red. The longest Sescie went without releasing her heat and went without overheating is fifteen minutes; though the time span will become longer the more she trains herself.
The weather plays a big factor in Sescie’s powers. Whenever it rains, Sescie will become weak, sometimes even causing her powers to fade for a few hours. When Sescie is absorbing heat or using her Burning Touch, she cannot come into contact with cold or water. This will cause a dangerous reaction to her body. The heat from her body will be completely quenched and steam will rise from her, draining her of all her powers. Her powers will return after a couple of hours, but it will affect her in the long term basis, her powers will slowly start to deteriorate.
Before learning to control her powers, Sescie couldn’t touch anything or anyone without disintegrating it. If she wasn’t careful, she could have burned down the orphanage while she was sleeping. People were afraid of her, even long after she gained control of her powers.
Other Abilities/ talents: After running away from the orphanage, Sescie lived on the streets for a year before joining the Brotherhood. During this short period of time, Sescie learned to pickpockets and steal for her own survival. She quickly became adapt in this stealthy skill. Sescie is trained in the art of kenjutsu and Kalari Payat. She speaks fluent Japanese and Chinese besides English.
Basic History: Sescie Tanaka was born to Yoshihiro Tanaka, the only son of a rich businessman who owned several shipping companies, and Joan Edwards, a beautiful Englishwoman traveling the globe to seek herself. When he met Sescie’s mother and decided to marry her, Yoshihiro’s family objected. But he ignored his family’s advice and married the beautiful Joan Edwards. His relatives heard of the marriage and broke off connections, vowing never to speak to him again. Yoshihiro and his wife worked hard to secure money for their future, for he had lived on his father’s money all his life.
In time, Yoshihiro and Joan conceived a daughter, named Sescie. By the time Sescie was six, Yoshihiro owned a small company of his own that was prospering. Joan worked along with him, but after awhile stopped to become a fulltime housewife because she was always feeling tired. However, Joan had frequent complaints of body pains. After close inspection by the doctors, Joan discovered she had bone cancer. A few months later, while Yoshihiro driving his wife to the hospital for a routine checkup, they had an accident. Yoshihiro died instantly, and his wife was in a critical condition. Sescie, who was also in the car, received only small wounds and cuts, as her mother shielded her with her own body.
Joan realized that she had no support in Japan, and she was getting weaker every year to be able to manage Yoshihiro’s company. So after she and Sescie recovered from the wound and shocks, she packed their belongings and moved back to her native country, England, where at least she had friends. Fortunately, she met a man named Carl Houston. Carl was a good man and fell in love with Joan, and he decided to take care of her and Sescie. He was a father figure and friend to the seven year old. Joan battled cancer for three more years until her body gave up. Carl, devastated, made up his mind to adopted Sescie, as a loving gesture to Joan. They lived two happy years together.
But one day after a small row, everything changed. Carl stumbled onto some financial problems and that meant Sescie had to stop her martial arts classes. Sescie, angry that her foster father forbade her to go, picked up a vase to throw at him. She felt her body temperature rise, her heartbeat quicken and her eyes felt funny. But before she could throw it, the vase disintegrated to a mound of ash. Carl was scared, for he saw her eyes glow scarlet red. He discovered she was one of the much hated mutants. He took up a poker and started to beat her. Sescie was scared, for she did not know what was happening to her. She believed Carl when he called her a freak.
All of Carl’s love for his twelve year old foster daughter disappeared in a flash. He threw her into the basement and locked her up. His temper grew everyday as his business kept failing, and he took out his anger on Sescie. Sescie dreaded the nights when Carl would come home, take the poker and start beating her. She cowered in a corner, not even resisting one bit. She saw her powers as a curse and cried herself to sleep at night, thinking why me?
One night, Carl came home drunk. He heard Sescie calling as he had not fed her all day. He lost his temper. How dare that little freak demand food?! He grabbed the poker from the fireplace and lurched down the dark basement. He raised the poker, ready to swing it down on her shoulder. Again and again the poker crashed down on Sescie, until she could take it no more. With a yell, she pushed Carl back with all her might. Her body felt burning and for a moment the stinging of her wounds were forgotten. Carl fell onto the floor with a shout, as he did not see it coming. He felt a burning sensation all over, for Sescie had used her powers on him. Sescie stood and watched as her foster father was reduced into a pile of ash. Sescie felt frightened, but her anger overcame all her other emotions. As she did not have any control over her powers, she soon fainted from overheating.
When she woke up, she was lying in a hospital bed. Two policemen and a doctor stood near her bed. The policemen explained to Sescie that they were currently searching for Carl who had been abusing her. They said he fled after the policemen came around to the house after a noise complaint from the neighbours. He was scared he would be charged and sent to jail, so he ran away. But Sescie knew better, although she didn’t try to explain, it would only make her situation worse.
Sescie moved to her new home a month later, on her thirteenth birthday. It was an orphanage. She spent three years there. During that time, her powers showed more frequently. Sescie tried to keep her powers a secret, although she found it hard to control. She started to wear gloves all the time. But she kept burning holes through them and so she constantly had to change new ones, much to the bewilderment of her friends. She had her first boyfriend when she was sixteen, a boy called Greg in the orphanage who was just a year older than her. By now she learned how to control her powers sufficiently. But it was Greg who found out she was a mutant. She was playing around with her powers in her room when he burst into the room, for he was suspicious and had been spying on her. He was disgusted for he hated mutants, and he tried to force himself on her. Sescie fought back and managed to escape. She told the principal of the orphanage, but she didn’t believe Sescie. Greg told everyone in the orphanage and at school, and soon Sescie was shunned by all. No matter how hard she tried to explain, no one listened to her. The principal tried to put her up for adoption, for she did not want a mutant freak in her orphanage. No one was willing to adopt her.
After two torturous months, Sescie finally ran away from the orphanage. She took refuge in a shelter, but they heard rumours and they too rejected her and threw her out. She resorted to the streets, pick pocketing and stealing to survive. She grew to hate humans, those who shunned mutants, who cowered at the sight of them. She was recruited by Magneto on her seventeenth birthday.

Sample RP: Sescie found herself in the middle of a busy New York City. It was late afternoon and she arrived ages ago, mid morning. She walked around the city, admiring the tall buildings. But behind all the excitement and awe, Sescie was worried. It might be ages before she found anybody from the Brotherhood. She felt something hit her head. It was starting to rain. She frowned and mentally cursed herself. It would be best to start looking for a shelter for tonight.
Sescie pulled the hood of her windbreaker over her head and hurried down the street. Already she felt her steps getting heavier and her body getting weaker. She growled, her eyes darting around, searching for a place for shelter. There was a time when she loved the rain, absolutely loved it. But that was a long time ago, those times were gone. Sescie quickly decided on a small deserted looking grocery store. She pushed the door open and a bell rung.
The shopkeeper at the counter made no response whatsoever at Sescie. She breathed a sigh of relief and walked straight to the last aisle. Now, she waited. There was nothing else she could do. She did not want her powers to be drained, not in a new and unfamiliar foreign country. Sescie wandered around the store, keeping out of sight from the shopkeeper as much as possibly. Occasionally, when she came to a shelf with something she liked, she popped it in her bag or pocket. By the time the rain stopped, her bag was noticeably heavier. Sescie continued to walk around a little longer, staying calm and composed. When the shopkeeper’s attention was finally turned to an unsure customer, Sescie slipped out of the store.
The ground was now thoroughly wet and there was the lingering smell of rain in the air, mingled with the smell of rubbish and odors from the different food stalls along the side of the road. Sescie felt her stomach gnawing but she ignored it. Time enough to crow over the contents of her bag later. She found a temporary sleeping space at a shelter soon after. She looked around the crowded place and sighed. This was home. This was home. For now.

Hello Jessie. I'm sorry but before I even start reading your application, could you first change the app. to fit the formating so not everything's in bold? It's extremely distracting and hard on the eyes. I'll get started your application after you've changed it.
Avalanche - February 10, 2008 09:16 AM (GMT)
Thank you for changing the format. Unfortunately, now that I've read the application, this bio falls significantly short of minimum levels required at Mere Mortals. Every section needs a lot more expansion, as they do not even hit our minimum requirements (or even a paragraph as defined by our standards of six sentences or more) as laid out by the application template.
Also, considering your character's history, it seems highly unlikely that she would be an assassin by profession, and even so, adamantium is not commonly accessible, and as such the 'nen chain' cannot be laced with it.
Lastly, for the sample rp, I'd like to see something that does not have the lines of an NPC so we can see how you'd actually rp with other characters. We'd like a sample with just your character to get an accurate sample of your rping skills.

I hope it is okay now. :) :lol:

First, a reminder: ALL accounts MUST have an avatar exactly 150X150pixels in size. ALL signatures must be no larger than 500X200pixels (widthXheight).
Secondly, the Powers section still falls a bit short of our requirements, so it needs more expansion. Also, it needs more limits to the powers. For example, she would need to have a certain limit to the amount of heat she can absorb or the level of intensity she can handle. You state, "Because of her ability, she cannot be burned in whatsoever way, unless her powers stop working." but obviously her powers cannot be limitless so as to prevent harm from extreme substances such as lava and the likes.
You also state, "The extent of her powers is yet to be discovered, but the bigger the matter is the longer it takes to disintegrate," but a more precise limit of her current level of skill would be good. For example, she would have no issues with an apple and would certainly be able to 'burn' the apple with a minute or so, but what about a chair or a desk? Of course, she could not disintegrate something as large as a car without more time, and nothing as large as a house, though I'm sure if she started with one side of the house well enough she could cause it to potentially collapse strategically.
Under weaknesses, you have, "Her powers will return after resting, but it will affect her in the long term basis" and it'd be nice to state a general length of time required for rest until she would be able to fully function with her powers once more.
Lastly, in the history you have, "It was then when she heard about a group called the Brotherhood of Mutants during this time and resolved to join them. She stole enough money to buy herself a ticket to the U.S. and hoped that she would meet one of the BOM’s members. She joined the group on her seventeenth birthday," which can be altered to have Magneto have recruited her, since it's unlikely that she would be able to find the B-Hood on her own due to their currently secretive location.
Secondly, the Powers section still falls a bit short of our requirements, so it needs more expansion. Also, it needs more limits to the powers. For example, she would need to have a certain limit to the amount of heat she can absorb or the level of intensity she can handle.
