Mari Amagi [APPROVED 4-1]

Basic Information
_____________________________

• Name: Mari Amagi
• Titles: Ma-chan
• Age: 15
• Gender: Female
• Affiliation/Rank: Karakura City High Freshman

• Appearance Description:
Mari is a fairly short young girl. She stands at four foot ten, making her one of the shortest people in her grade level. Her body is very thin, and any curves she may have are hidden under jackets and skirts. The girl has fair colored skin that blushes easily and signifies that she rarely goes outside. There is little to no muscle tone on her body, further proving how unfit she is. Over all, Mari appears to be a normal teenage girl. Her posture is often somewhat hunched over in a shy or timid manner.

Her hair is a bright red that somewhat stands out in a crowd. The red locks of hair reach down to her waist and are usually kept tied into two low hanging twin tails. Her bangs are somewhat messily cut and frame her face sloppily. Both of her eyes are a strange shade of brown that appear to be red with long thick lashes hanging over them. Mari's face is fairly small and child like.

• Personality:
Mari is a creature of solitude. She dislikes loud crowds with people who enjoy hugging or touching each other. The girl has always been repulsed by the attention of others ever since she was a child. As a result, she comes across as being quite shy and timid. Mari has difficulties in dealing with large groups of individuals. When more individuals gather around her, she sees them as more problems waiting to happen. Having been the child of an influential politican, Mari was raised in solitude for the most part- which explains a large portion of her shy personality.

Not only is she shy, but she's also fairly awkward socially. Mari has zero social skills. Her parents never taught her how to act properly in front of others, and what she could or could not say to others. So, it's very common that when Mari does find the courage to say something, she'll often accidentally offend others and put her foot in her mouth. Still, Mari rarely says anything with negative feelings in mind. The girl mean's well, but she's kind of stupid when it comes to socializing. She can envision the perfect things to say in her mind, but when it comes to actually speaking, the words get jumbled up and come out wrong. Then, she goes to go throw a mini tantrum alone at how stupid she can be. All in all, Mari is not the person you want in your debate team- especially because she often ends up crying in stressful social situations.

Mari is also a very secretive young girl. While she's often failing at times to be sincere and tripping over her words, the one thing she's good at is hiding her true strength. Mari possesses some strange powers that would surely get her drafted into the Spiritual Wars should she get found out. Mari dislikes the very notion of war. From the possibility of death to the possibility of maybe having to kill someone, she's determined to stay away from it. The girl may be a social pariah, but she's also a very rational person. If there's anything Mari's good at, it's being calm in a life or death situation. She's capable of making important choices. It's just the little choices that come with socializing that confuse her.

Mari just wants to be able to grow up in a normal simple life. Heck, she even pretends not to be able to see spirits most of the time when around friends, family or at school. The girl is set on trying to be as normal as possible for some reason. Mari hops she can grow up to be a teacher or housewife with a loving husband and adorable children. Still, as stated earlier, Mari is very rational. She's not one to endanger her life in pursuit of her dream. So, she will fight if needed as a last resort or attacked. One of the best ways to make Mari fight is to endanger civilians without powers around her.

• Natural Attributes:

• Mari has a fairly good memory. She's able to recall small details in situations around her. While she's by no means eidetic, the girl is very good at remembering important information.
  
• Her study skills are also very good. While she isn't the brightest person, Mari is very good at putting together systems needed to retain information. Because of this, she can learn about things quickly and remember them for a long time.
  
• Mari's mother taught her how to cook from a young age. Some of Mari's best memories are of being in the kitchen with her mother. As a result, Mari is a very good cook.
  
• Mari can see spirits and other supernatural occurrences like half of the population. However, she often acts as if she cannot.
  
• The girl possesses an unnaturally good sense of direction. She always knows which way is North.
  
• Perhaps as a side effect of her power, Mari is extremely healthy. She has high energy levels and can actually take a fair amount of damage without too much issue. She's been hit by a bus before without so much as a scratch. The girl also doesn't get motion sickness or experience vertigo.

• Powers:
Repulsion and Attraction: Mari has the ability to attract or repulse people or items from each other. The power essentially allows for her to make things move towards or away from other things. There are different levels of attraction and repulsion that let her move things at higher or slower speeds. She appears to be able to effect certain metaphysical concepts as well- such as “attention” or “pain.” An odd trait of her power is that while she can effect nonliving items without touching them so long as she can see them, but to effect a living person physically, she must touch them. Items effected by her power also generally only move in a straight line towards or away from the item of repulsion or attraction. Mari can alter their path by changing the levels of her power or by altering it from repulsion or attraction- or even changing the target.

A basic explanation would be that she can make things magnetic to one another in various ways. Although, her power doesn't effect magnetic fields. In fact, her power ignores magnetic fields. It appears she effects the Reiatsu or chi energy within everything to move items. Because Mari has refused testing or studying of her powers, their origin and how they work are widely unknown. It could very well be that she's simply making Chi or Reiatsu want to merge together or it could even be an aspect of reality manipulation.

• Pure Abilities:

• The most often used ability Mari has is her ability to fly. She does this by constantly repulsing herself from the ground at various levels. She can also launch and throw herself and others over large areas. She can increase her speed and change directions by attracting and repulsing herself to different things in her area, say a building or tree, allowing for extreme maneuvering.
  
  
• Using the Attraction aspect of her power, Mari can make things get stuck together. When Attraction is initiated, the items will suddenly fly towards each other and appear to be glued together. Depending on the level, it lasts longer. However, the longer it lasts, the longer it is until Mari can effect the same items again. A level 1 Attraction is easily broken in 1 post and has a 1 post cool down after the effect wears off. A level 2 Attraction is broken in 2 posts and has a 2 post cool down after the effect wears off. This goes all the way up to a level 10 Attraction. Mari can cancel the Attractions before they break naturally as well. When she uses Attractions above level 5's, Mari cannot use any abilities for half of the duration of the ability due to the strain of such a powerful level.
  
  
• Using the Repulsion aspect of her power, Mari can make things fly apart from each other. When Repulsion is initiated, the items will constantly fly apart from each other whenever they get within a certain range- like the polar ends of magnets. Depending on the level, it lasts longer. However, the longer it lasts, the longer it is until Mari can effect the same items again. A level 1 Repulsion keeps items apart at a range of five feet with the Repulsion lasting for one post and having a cool down of one post after the effect wears off. A level 2 Repulsion keeps items apart at a range of ten feet with the Repulsion lasting for two posts and having a cool down of two posts after the effect wears off. This goes all the way up to a level 10 Repulsion. Mari can cancel the Repulsions before they break naturally as well. When she uses Repulsions above level 5's, Mari cannot use any abilities for half of the duration of the ability due to the strain of such a powerful level.
  
  
• Using the Attraction aspect of her power, Mari can turns ordinary items around her into bullet like projectiles. At level 1 Attraction, Mari can launch one item at 1/5th the speed of a bullet with a one post cool down. At level 2 Attraction, Mari can launch up to two items at 2/5th the speed of a bullet with a one post cool down. This goes until level 5 where Mari can launch up to five items at the speed of a bullet with a two post cool down. At level 6 Attraction, her projectiles become steadily faster than a bullet with more items being added per level, but the cool down remains at 2 posts. At level 10, the cool down increases to 3 posts. At level 10 Attraction, Mari can launch up to ten items at twice the speed of a bullet.
  
  
• Using the Repulsion aspect of her power, Mari can become something akin to a ghost. One of the few metaphysical things she can effect is 'attention'. When being used, the attention of others is naturally simply diverted away from her. The effect shows up on cameras as well. This effects her Chi and Reiatsu ratings as well- thus making her difficult to track. She can use this ability to enter sealed areas by making the barrier Repulse around her body. Of course, if Mari touches someone, they notice her suddenly. If Mari speaks loudly while using this, she will be noticed suddenly. Obviously, if Mari is directly in front of a person, they will most likely notice her if not distracted.
  
  
• On the flip side, Mari can also use her Attraction to make others the center of attention. She can use this to make people flock to them and slow them down for a distraction. Mari can only make others suddenly interested and move towards the person. They will process it as seeing someone they think they know- whether it's a relative, a friend or a celebrity- and try to get a closer look.

• Background:
Mari was born in Karakura Central to a prominent politician. As a result, she's always lived a fairly lavished and good life. Her father worked a lot, but her mother was always home to raise Mari and her older brother. So, growing up Mari was practically spoiled. Of course, because of her father's popularity and politician career, Mari's family would often be harassed by paparazzi. This would terrify Mari to no ends growing up as people constantly stooped outside of their house waiting to take pictures or barrage them with interview questions. This is what most likely lead to her dislike of attention.

Despite the difficulties of growing up almost completely monitored 24/7, Mari still found time to get into trouble. She discovered her powers at a fairly young age. In a time where spiritual battles were common place in the city, Mari equaled this to having been chosen to be a super hero when she got older. At first her powers were fairly weak, but as she got older, they began to grow. All throughout her elementary school years, Mari enjoyed playing hero around her house and backyard. She was untouchable!

When Mari got to middle school, she realized just how dangerous being involved in spiritual battles could be. Her brother got caught up in one on his way home from school. He had just been an innocent bystander, but he got hurt anyway as collateral damage. While he managed to recover just fine, there was a point where the doctors thought he could die. After this, Mari stopped showing off her powers to her family and told them that they had simply vanished. When her father offered to have some friends of his research more into her powers, she declined. Her bother had gotten hurt because of power users. Mari didn't want to be one of them.

So, Mari fell into the background during middle school and became fairly shy. Despite her best efforts to stop using her power, the abilities kept growing and growing as she got older. By the time she entered ninth grade, Mari was fairly powerful- and constantly attracting attention from the spiritually sensitive. She spent most of her time running or hiding from scouters for various organizations before they could get a decent look at her face. Finally, she discovered a way to hide herself from the attention of others and has been living a peaceful life since then. Or, as peaceful a life as one can live in a city like this.

• Roleplay Sample:
[[RP sample from PHS #552 where I play Zoe~]]
Zoe eyed Luca as she stood on the stage. He wanted them to attack him? The girl ignored all the common deranged comments made by the other students as her eyes narrowed in his direction. The crowd was quickly growing restless as people seemed to be on the verge of riot. He would be able to see the intelligent spark behind her eyes as she quickly connected the dots. He was picking and choosing whom to make an example out of, wasn't he? He wanted to find someone to put down in order to make an example out of her.

That bastard. He chose her because he knew she couldn't go all out without putting other students at risk. Her powers were too explosive- too volatile to be used in an enclosed space like a gym. The danger was doubled with the entire student body gathered there for an assembly. It was either forfeit or risk injuring a student. If she forfeited, then who knew what Luca had in mind. However, if she injured a student, he'd have the perfect chance to attack her image or even her life. She was caught between a rock and a bullet to the back of her head.

The girl simply sighed and crossed her arms before speaking plainly while staring directly at Luca. "I can't. If I did all the students here would be put at risk, but I think you already know that."
