POWER DESCRIPTIONS

Mystical Shifting- The Leviathan is a primordial sea monster known as the mightiest creature in the ocean. With this ability Manami is able to transform into this monstrous creature taking the form of a two hundred meter long sea serpent adorned with two powerful horns a mouth lined with razor sharp teeth, and two seemingly glowing yellow eyes. Across her entire body are strong, dark blue, armor like scales equal in strength to the belt armor of a battleship. Her main offensive capability in this form is her fire breath, which can instantly boil water severe burns to those who come in direct contact with it. Manami is also able to do a partial transformation but it comes at the cost of her fire breath and weaker armor. In this partial form she keeps her humanoid form but two small horns grow out of her head, her teeth become pointed, and her skin turns into scales. These scales, unlike the ones in the full leviathan form, only have strength equal a bulletproof vest, however just like bulletproof vests she will still feel the impact of the bullet as such while it’s possible that it will save her body from being pierced she will still feel the pain from the force behind the bullet. Manami can only use the full transformation when she is in contact with a large body of water that is at the very least large enough to hold the leviathan form. She can transform partial at any time she desires.

This consequences of activating this ability is incredible hunger and an increase in violent tendencies. The changing of her biological material and her massive change in size when going into full leviathan form causes her body to use up energy rapidly increasing her metabolism significantly. After transforming or while transformed she will have to eat a large amount food to make up for the energy she lost. While transformed she will be more prone to act out violently instead of thinking rationally as if possessed by the monster she transformed into, this influence is proportional to how close she is to a full transformation.

Super Strength- This power is pretty self explanatory, using this ability Manami is able to accomplish feats of strength that would be impossible for most other humans. With this strength she is able to accomplish feats such as bend metal, break bones simply by crushing them in her grip, punch holes through brick walls, and throwing people through the air. This makes her incredible dangerous to most opponents at close range.

However, using this ability puts a large amount of strain on her body and wears her out quickly. While she is able to accomplish these feats using her super strength over and over again will leave her drained of energy, incredible sore, and could possibly tear multiple muscles. As such she usually only uses her super strength when a successful hit is guaranteed or as a last resort.

APPEARANCE

Manami has long silver hair that grows down all the way down past her waist. On top of this hair she wears a white or navy blue sailor’s cap with an anchor printed on the front that she never takes off unless it is necessary. Her body makes her look a few years younger than she actually is as a result of the malnutrition she suffered while a captive. Despite this she still can be seen constantly wearing a smile upon her face which now has a very healthy complexion. Upon this face peacefully rests two eyes as blue as the sky on a clear day.

While in school she is fine just wearing the uniform without any alterations, except for a white naval jacket that was given to her by one of the soldiers that saved her, but it is a very different story when she’s out of school. She likes to dress casually and will pick cloths based on what is most comfortable than what looks the best. As such it wouldn't be surprising to find her walking around without shoes or even in her pajamas. However, despite her casual dressing she will always be found wearing the naval jacket and only time she can be found without it is when she is swimming or planning to transform.

PERSONALITY

Manami’s personality was split into two separate pieces after the she was kidnapped by the pirates. The personality that is active most of the time contains the essence of who she was before the arrival of the pirates while the second personality only appears when she is threatened with serious injury, caused a good amount of harm, or loses control during her Leviathan transformation. Due to the fact that the second personality usually makes an appearance while she is transformed Manami has come to call this personality Leviathan. These two personality don't usually come into conflict as the second one is inactive most of the time and thus stays out of trouble, though when she does come out it never ends well for anyone involved.

Manami’s first personality is a social butterfly and truly enjoys interacting with others regardless of what their opinions of her are. However, she holds strong grudges against those who bring any harm to someone she considers her friend and has been known to actively seek retribution for such offenses. She also has a thing for anything cute, especially stuff animals, though she will act as if she doesn't in an attempt to look more mature. If you asked her if she wanted a stuffed animal she would say no but it isn't almost guaranteed that she would be found buying a ton of them if she was on her own. Manami also enjoys athletics, swimming in particular, and she can be founding trying to participate in as many of them as she can as well using any opportunity she has to go swimming be it in a pool, lake, pond, river, or ocean.

Manami is also natural curious and tends to ask questions about everything and when I say everything I mean everything. If she begins interested in a subject she can ask a seemly endless number of questions before she is satisfied. She loves learning new things and she becomes almost childishly happy when she gets the chance to learn something new. Sadly however, this great number of questions tend to eventually drive people crazy causing them not to like her very much. She is also bad at taking orders from others. She doesn't ignore orders out of malice or anger towards authorities, she just likes to deal with situation in her own way and reacting to things as they come instead of following a strict overall plan. Needless to say those in charge don't tend to take a liking to this quality of hers and it can get her in trouble sometimes. The Manami personality is also heterosexual.

Leviathan, the second personality that inhabits Manami’s body is the darkest to the light that is Manami. This personality took on all the memories of the abduction and abuses caused by the pirates, resulting in it being twisted by her hatred. This personality is cruel, harsh, strict, and possibly even sadistic. Leviathan would break someone's arm even beat someone close to death if she felt it would improve her odds in a situation. She is also incredible rude and abrasive with very little care for how her words affect others. Despite all these bad qualities Leviathan’s main goal is to defend Manami’s main personality and treats this personality like a younger sister. The fastest way to get on her bad side would be to mess with the primary personality and her wrath is not something you want to experience. Unlike the Manami persona the Levi persona is pansexual

BIOGRAPHY

Manami was adopted by a wealthy family in northern regions of Japan and never knew her biological parents. She was the only child of the wealthy couple, as such was spoiled constantly by her parents and she lived a very happy life like one would expect from someone in her situation. She went to school, got good grades, participated in multiple sports, and hung out with her friends constantly. This all changed, however, shortly after her twelfth birthday during a trip on a cruise ship passing through the South China Sea.

The cruise has gone flawlessly until the ship had made it halfway through the sea at which point it came under the siege of a large group of pirates. The pirates had pulled up along the cruise ship in a large tanker they had commandeered earlier that year. Despite the crew’s best effort it didn't take long for the pirates to overwhelm them and take control of the ship. Manami noticed her parents were acting odd but didn't have any idea that the ship had been taken over a group of three pirates began banging on the door of her parents’ room. She watched as her father quickly scrambled to grab anything in the room that could serve as a weapon before they broke through the door.

A moment later the door shattered and Manami watched as three bandana wearing men armed with large machine guns entered. Her father’s attempt to keep them at bay was unsuccessful as the man in the front took him down with one quick swing of his gun knocked the father out. Leaving him unconscious on the floor of the room the three men dragged Manami and her mother out of the room up to the upper deck. On the upper deck the pirates separate their captives into different groups as they moved them from the cruise ship to the tanker, resulting in Manami being separated from her mother. She would not see her mother or father again for three years after this point.

The pirates allowed the cruise ship to leave after robbing the people of their valuables and taking a few select captives. The reasoning for this was simply, they had taken members from families in the wealthier rooms but left one of them behind so that they could ransom their captives for large sums of money. Manami’s father managed to get his wife back but the pirates took the money he paid for Manami and ran without returning her. Sadly, before he had the opportunity to attempt to buy he back again the government decided to cut of any communication with the pirates as they began a manhunt for them. Manami suffered many abused at the hands of the pirate, she was malnourished, dehydrated, and given injuries that have left scars that today she hides beneath her clothing. These abused continued until the end of her first year in captivity.

At the end of her first year, the crew decided to cut their loses and were going to execute Manami as they weren't expecting to get any money out of her. However, when a crewmember came to take her to the spot where they were going to execute her first ability appeared. She knew what the pirates were planning to do and violently fought as the one of crew members grabbed her. Just as he was about to get a grip on her she landed a punch directly into his chest. A large cracking sound echoed out from his chest and he flew backwards into the wall as if he was hit by a car. He was knocked out instantly but the sound of the impact alerted the nearby pirates. They entered the cell only to find their crew mate unconscious with a broken rib, a majority of the crew wanted retribution but after hearing the news the captain made a different call.

In the following two years Manami was made a official member of the pirate crew, where her super strength became an asset to their crimes. The crew’s malicious intent towards her decreased over time as she proved herself useful. Her strength and a persona she created herself protected her from anymore abuse and by the end of the second year she was a respected member of the pirates. However, while the crew no longer wanted to kill her, she never forgave them and was just waiting for the opportunity get her revenge.

This opportunity finally came when the pirates found themselves surrounded by a Japanese naval fleet that had been hunting them. As the pirates were overpowered Manami made her way to the captain’s location to confront him. She found him at the front of the ship giving orders, she was prepared to take him down but he drew his gun faster than she could get to him. As the bullets flew towards her, she felt a strange feeling rushed across her skin just before the bullets hit. One of the bullets hit her in the head, another in the arm, and a third in her stomach sending her over the rail of the ship into the ocean below. As she fell her consciousness faded but for some reason she didn't feel any blood coming out of where she was hit. Just before she crashed into the water she lost consciousness.

Almost instantaneously a great shadow appeared in the water below the ship and in the next moment the water began to boil. In the Japanese ships the sonar picked up in a massive mass below the pirate ship that seemed to appear out of nowhere. Out of the boilings water depths the horned head of what appeared to be a massive serpent rose out of the water and rose twenty feet above the upper deck of the tanker. Two glowing yellow eyes glared over the crew and the monster bared its razor sharp teeth at them. In the next moment the boat was a blaze as the serpent upon its mouth releasing a blanket of flaming breath over the ship. Bullets bounced off the monsters scales leaving the pirates defenseless against the monsters attack. The naval ships were frozen by the scene before them and the monster had already destroyed the tanker and dived back into the ocean below before they took any action.

The monster vanished from the sonar and upon investigation of the scene they found a naked 15 year old floating in the water unconscious. After rescuing and clothing the girl, they discovered her identity and brought her back home where she was reunited with her family. However, she couldn't full control her powers and when they received a letter inviting her to a school where she could be around others like her the parents agreed that this was the best way to ensure their daughter’s future.
