Vira A.K.A The Oncoming Storm

Powers:
Sand make up: Being made of sand comes with many advantages. The first of which is that in any normal situation physical attack have no effect on Vira. They simply will go through her most the time, or make dents in her body. The same goes for bullets, missiles, most explosions and blades. Heat isn't effective until it's incredibly hot. Cold is useless unless she's soaked. Disease, please. She also doesn't need to breath, eat, but does sleep and turns into a pile of sand while doing so. Her clothes do not turn with her. She can choose to make her body into flesh, but it requires a bit of time. It takes quite a bit of force to cut limbs off or bisect her. Blades make it easier, but physical attacks take  super strength to take her limbs off and around a single ton to bisect her, but it's pretty slow and hitting her at all will cause abrasions that can cause bleeding.

        Crushing:When she has direct contact with something, and has enough sand to make an inch or two of material around the object, she can crush it. This crush has about 10  tons of force to it, letting her bend steel poles and break arms and legs with it, though it usually just causes massive bruising. This takes time  however and constant movement of  someone or thing can make it impossible. But if she manages to get her full body around something, it may not matter.

        Strength[/i]: Though she cannot lift much, Vira can MOVE incredibly heavy objects like cars and SUV's by throwing her entire sand body into things, usually making full use of her shape shifting to flip objects as big as SUVs while only using her arms. if she merely needs to move a car. She can punch with about half ton of force, though thanks to the soft nature of sand It can simply carry people some times. She needs to convert her arm into a larger sand wave to do this though.
       

Shape shifting Being made of sand means being able to move your body around into  amazing shapes. This include her compressing herself to be as dense as tungsten to make herself have about 4 bodies worth of sand, about two bath tubs. She cannot make herself more than one body though. She needs that density if she wants a body at all. She can, however, make large fists, shields and even shoot sand blobs and arrow like speeds. These globs leave deep and painful bruises, being able to break ribs, but are only deadly with repeated head blows or a blow to the windpipe if she's lucky. They do, however, strip what they hit of clothing and then surface skin. These globs can't be controlled after impact and simply fall to the ground and return to Vira. Severed limbs are another game though, if it's anything more than a hand, she will retain control of the limb and even be able to summon it back to her quickly. She can willingly detatch entire limbs from herself, either as limbs or as floating spheres of sand that can attack with sand shots remotely. A hand will buy her 5 shots. Her forearm and hand will buy her 15. An entire arm will be 25 shots. The same logic goes with her legs but plus 5. Once placed these orbs cannot be moved except directly towards her. They can be stopped midway, but will only move towards her. Unless it's an entire limb, this only impedes her ability to become a sandstorm.

     Erosion: Vira can move her sand around quickly, when holding something, to erode through it  quickly. Flesh can be made completely raw in a few seconds. She can erode through an inch of steel in 10 seconds. It takes about as long for her to get down to the bone. When she uses direct holds to do this it can be surprisingly exact. She also uses this to make her hands into drills, but cannot make real blades. Using this technique she can get through anything but shields or impervious/magical materials in less than a minute, but only if it stays still
     
       Storm: In this form she has no main body and takes the shape of a large sand storm. It is ten feet in diameter but can be made smaller. When at 20 feet it is like a normal sandstorm usually, but if she focuses at any one spot it becomes as effective as her normal erosion. She can also use it to cause breathing problems for enemies, debilitating them, but she only can do so while in storm mode and can't do so if the person is running. She also can't choke more than one person, or keep it going long enough to kill someone. It requires too much concentration. When reforming from storm she either fully reforms or not at all. It is incredibly effective indoors. She needs her entire body to do this.

            -Partial storm: For travel purposes Vira can turn into part of a storm, where only her lower body turns to sand. She can move at about 30 miles per hour in this form for extended periods of time. Her hands also turn to sand. She can fly in this form but can't attack except for turning back then attacking, or turning into her storm.

Skills:
Back talking
Being a tormentor.
Making plans that will pay off within a minute, during fights.
Worming her way out of trouble.

Weaknesses:
Water: This will wash her off anything and submerging her will keep her from attacking. After being drenched it can take 30 seconds for her to squeeze the water out. During this time she's as solid as a human and can be physically hurt, though cutting her won't do anything but cause pain. It's more useful to use blunt force in this case. If she is made wet while certain body parts are not attached to her, they go limp and slowly  make their way towards her.

speed: When in the form of a sand cloud she can only move at jogging speed when being offensive.

Heat: when in an inclosed area or subject to extremely large amounts of heat she can melt. this requires sustained bouts of above 2,200 degrees temperature on all of her. She will reform if the heat goes back down, slowly.

Lasers: Light based lasers actually hurt. She isn't silicon so she can't refract them. They will permanently remove sand from her, until she can find some more at least.

Weight: Vira can't lift anything more than 30 pounds without her hands detaching

Shape:The more sand like Vira becomes the less coordinated she is with her body. When she turns into a storm she can't go easy on a friend if shes attacking a foe within 5 feet of them. When she makes her hands larger she can't do fine movements and even punches are difficult.

Wind: wind past 30 mph makes it impossible to use her storm ability all together. She can still do mild limb by limb shape shifting, but no storm.

Heartstone: When this is taken out of her her body turns to regular flesh. Killing her in this form doesn't do anything other than make her regenerate from the heartstone, which is about the diameter of a nickle ball, impossible to crush and is incredibly smooth so it can't be cut. Total body regen takes days. When in storm mode her clothes are left with this small ball no matter how far the storm travels away from the clothes. It is usually found right in the center of her chest at the same height her heart would be. Explosions typically can't separate her sand connection, unless they're placed onto the stone itself. To change position would require a conscious effort before an attack. It can be destroyed, but only with intense radiation or incredible heat. Hotter than half way through the sun. It can, however, be contained rather easily and doesn't have any defense if separated from all of Vira's sand by 20 or so feet.

Storm: While in this form Vira can't see. She can only feel what is inside the storm.

Concussive waves and sound: Sound still can confuse her and concussive waves make her lose focus unless shes in storm.

Food: Vira can be tricked into turning human if it means delicious looking food.

Smell:No sense of smell, none at all


Personality: Vira is a very bitter young girl who has a very sarcastic and playful demeanor most of the time, even in the midst of the battlefield. It isn't easy to make this girl lose her odd, sometimes unstable and almost always scary smile. Her tone is usually sweet and kind unless she gets really into what she's saying, in which case she becomes extremely expressive and can gain an absolutely evil expression. Nothing pleases Vira more than absolutely crushing someone's hope. She will usually gloat to her enemies and even her allies. Sometimes she'll even gloat while no ones around.

Her vengeful wrath is so intense that she can be observed with nothing but a body around and she will talk as though someone is listening, being violent towards the body and laughing at her own jokes. She has very little trust in anyone, even herself and often has a thousand yard stare when she isn't actively doing something. She's prone to 'check out' when she's bored, instead of thinking or planning her mind just sorta stops, like an extremely shallow sleep.

Mentioning the Zydon plague is a good way to get her riled up. Continued mention or a comment on her family can bring her to tears, sobbing and not being much of a soldier, though she usually won't attack when in such a state, Large sand walls will separate her from enemies if they get to close or attack. They will clench down if contact is continued. If she only has one enemy Vira can be very demeaning, especially if she doesn't think they can hurt her or are smart enough to figure out how to do so. She will go on with monologues, ask them to beg her to not hurt them, and usually do so slowly if she has the time.

Vira's arrogance even extends into her military duties. She commonly won't listen to orders when she doesn't like them. This is oddly valued by some of the higher ups while being strongly disliked by those in direct contact with her. This only makes the problem more obvious. She disregards threats to punish her or kick her out, they are all dismissed by her uncle or her direct superiors. She has an obsession with food, sensations and other things she can now only feel the minority of the time.

Strengths:
Defenses: her sand can chew through all but the most invincible of materials in minutes. Its tenacity mixed with focus can reduce steel to filings

Indoors: When indoors there is no escape from her corrosion, making it incredibly dangerous.

Mental state: When in storm or half storm it's incredibly difficult to attack her mind. Body switching is especially unadvised since you'd end up a pile of sand for several months.

Cunning: Surprisingly good at planning for her age.

Interests/Habits:
Killing humans
Being sarcastic
Letting some humans make deals, usually embarrassing ones.


Family Members: All close relative are deceased due to plague. Her 2nd uncle, however, is still alive and sees her as both close family and a huge asset to the Zydon army thanks to her powers.
Place of Origin: Zydon home planet.
History: Vira was left alone about a year ago, when her family was killed, indirectly, by the plague that shook her home world and directly by the hysteria caused by the wretched disease. Before then she had lived as a very wealthy member of the Zydon society. She was practically a princess in fact, or at least she felt like one. It wasn't as if her family was actually royalty, just rich enough to act like it.

When the disease came everything changed though. Riots became normal where she lived and the entire family began living in separate parts  of the house. It wasn't enough. Her parent's and siblings all caught the disease. Then the town caught wind of it. She was dragged out of her house crying as her neighbors and friends locked the building down and burnt it down with her family still inside, no one willing to go inside the house to do anything but retrieve the one last uninfected member of the family.

She was sent off to her nearest relative, which after the  high point of the plague, was her second uncle, one of the highest ranking members of the Zydon army, second in command of...something or another, Vira never paid attention. He immediately sent her to a medical research facility to receive one of many experimental vaccines. Hers was...more experimental than others. She ended up a heap of sand for several weeks, but eventually she was able to form a small ball to focus herself on and then focus herself with. Her entire form had been changed to be able to be inorganic.She found it difficult to hold an organic form for more than an hour which lead to her learning how to shape herself.

Soon afterwards, she was sent to Earth under the direct supervision of an extremely high ranking individual, her uncle: Leader of tactical destruction, directly under the commander in chief. Even more so than most of the other members, she was favored. She gained a reputation for directly disobeying direct orders, so much so that even her uncle had to think about withdrawing her...until she tore a small team of low level meta-humans, that had been defending the northern portion of Australia, into pieces live on earth's television. Nothing was left of the team afterwards except for small bits that had fallen out of Vira's wrath. She secured her place as one of the invaders of Jump city, in hopes that she would do the same to the stronger and much more organized metahumans there.  

Vira is quite well known among both Zydon and humans for her ruthless and cruel nature, not to mention slight instability. She's taken out groups of soldiers regularly and is a large threat to any attack on Zydon settlements. She can demolish vehicles and conventional weaponry has had little effect on her.
