« Full transformation takes a post, but not much action can be taken until the second post. Harsh blows can cause her to be stunned, and force her to transform back into human form. »
« Subpower: Partial transformation» : Ida can form certain parts of her animal form, like her ears and tail. She can grow out get finger nails to be sharp like in her animal form.


«Subpower: Fire show[/b]: Ida can form orbs from the absorbed fire that let out brightly colored fire and smoke like fireworks when thrown. Ida forms the orb in her hand and can either hold the orb and wait to throw it at someone, or crush the orb in her hand and snap in the direction she wants the stream of colorful flames to go. If either the orb or the stream of fire is able to hit, the heat has the potential to leave a burn or skin discomfort, and will burst with flashing colorful light, and forceful hot air as well, like a mini bomb. This can travel up to 50 feet.

« Fire flicker»: Ida can expel the fire she absorbs by slashing or kicking at an opponent to send a crest of flames, or she can simply blow fire out of her mouth or palm. This fire can travel up to eight feet.


Mastery over Fire Dancing:
Fire Dancing is a mix of
Brazilian dance fighting (Capoeira), and a form of fire bending. Ida's kicks, punches and slashes are backed by fire.
«Subpower: Flaming two-step»: Ida does a kick-ball-change in a direction to send a trail of fire. It takes three seconds to reach it's full length of seven meters. The path of flames is one foot wide and it's flames are one foot tall.

«Flare pirouette»: Ida does a pirouette that surrounds her body in a fiery tornado. She can only spin for one post, and she can get dizzy if she used this move to much.

 
Skills:

Stealing: Ida is a theif, a hustler, a swindler, and even a con artist when she needs to be, however, she'll never steal money or jewelry or any other treasure. Ida will only steal things like video games, food, and possibly certain clothe items if she feels someone needs it, and she usually pays for it later. Ida pays for things she steals with money she steals from thugs and villains, and she'll anonymously leave the money in the establishment.

Outfoxing: This is the art of losing your opponent by ducking, weaving, and diving through a forest or crowded setting. If the tracker can smell scents, then this method will lead them on a wild goose chase by leaving a jumbled up trail of scents. Great for trying to escape someone.

Chipping away: Ida was taught not to deal out large blows unless needed, instead, she chips away at the foe, trying to get them to the point where they are at her mercy, thus she can actually decide if it's necessary to kill them or let them live. Whenever being taught this method, Zorro would tell her "Chew your food before you swallow, savor the flavor", Ida thinks he says this because he tends to be a sadist...

Hunting: Her animal form is a predator, so she sometimes goes out and hunts in the wilderness, her main prey are birds, small deer, and rabbits. Ida will only hunt if she's really needs food or she can't steal. Ida is able to track scents but it's harder in a crowded city setting.


Weaknesses:
Water: Of course, water would put out her flames.


People faster than her: Ida uses her speed to her advantage, but if someone is very speedy, it'll be harder for her to even make a hit.

Over heating: Surprisingly, absorbing too much fire can make Ida feverish, skittish, and more violent, she'd be itching to fight and release her flames, but she has the potential to turn on her friends and family when she's uncontrolled like this. Ida can usually absorb the amount of a bonfire or pickup truck and store it without much trouble, but if she keeps absorbing after that without releasing, over heating can happen.

Losing her temper: Getting extremely angry can make her over heat as well, and makes strategy plans nearly impossible to think up, she'll just go all out.

Equipment:
A white Kabuki mask with red/violet stripes. It has a wide crescent like slit for the mouth, and half circle shapes for the eyes, making it look like the mask is giving you a lazy smile. The mask has pointed fox ears at the top and the only way someone could see Ida's eyes is if they're glowing with anger.

Her disguise outfit is a silk short sleeved purple shirt that has a black band wrapping around the torso, black matching pants with lightweight fabric, and black tennis shoes. This is worn with the Kabuki mask.

A hunting knife

Black gloves

Whip




Personality:

Flirty: Not because she wants every guy she sees, but she was taught by her teacher Nékos that flirting is a good way to get people to do what you want sometimes. She'll flirt sparingly.

Considerate: While she can be a bit snippy, she'll try to think of the other person's perspective, and will try not to trigger people unless she really wants to annoy them

Ida will avoid killing (when not angry) as much as she can, she'd rather beat the living crap out of a thug, she would rather not kill them, the only reason she'd kill is
because the target is a threat to a large amount of people.

Sweet: Ida can be very sweet to those she likes and loves, and will protect them fiercely.

Laid back: When she isn't fighting, getting angry, or feeling mischievous, Ida will mostly be casual and will play around a bit.

Neutral: Even though she'll mostly try to stay on the good side, she'll swing whatever way depending on the situation, if she has to rob a bank or kidnap someone to keep her friends and family safe, she sure will.

Weasel: If she has to, Ida will try to weasel her way out of certain undesirable situations, even if she has to act all innocent and confused.

Jokester: Ida likes to joke around and mostly keep the mood casual if she can, though sometimes people don't appreciate her sense of humor.

Stubborn: Ida can be very feisty in certain situations, especially towards someone she doesn't like, she'll shoot sassy remarks at the person or just plain not talk to them. She'll defend her beliefs as well as her family and friends.

Dangerous: When she gets absolutely furious her eyes start glowing brightly, and she'll try to severely harm whoever or whatever is in the center of her rage, in this state she'll also fiercely protect those she's close to.

Strengths:
Dominion over fire

Strong against ice



Interests/Habits:
Nature: Ida likes wildlife, and likes being in the woods and the smell of nature. Ida also likes animals and wants to figure out a way to help them regain lost habitat.

Reading: Ida likes to read, especially about adventure and supernatural.

Drawing: Ida loves to draw, especially animals.


Thinking too deeply: Ida sometimes thinks too deeply about things, or comes up with paranoid sounding thoughts about someone or something, and while it can be useful sometimes, it's usually just weirdo thinking.

Anime/manga: She's an anime and manga fan, she especially likes Black Henchman, Spirit Eater, and Full Iron Alchemists (Let me know if you know which ones are which)

Hunting down thugs and stealing their stuff, memorable pass time, eh?

Family Members:
Zorro : Adopted family member, Ida doesn't see him as a dad though, more of a close friend/guardian, he's very protective of her. A man of average height with a very intimidating aura. He loves combat and is a Capoeira master, he's very protective of Ida and is usually deathly silent. Zorro has tan skin and black hair, his face is usually covered with a Kabuki mask that has a wide toothy gin carved into it. Zorro will only show his face to those he trusts, and those two people are Ida and Nékos. He has bright orange-red eyes that always seem to glow, especially when he's furious.

Nékos: Adopted family member, acts more like a dad to Ida, he's the one who taught her more than fighting. A tall handsome Nan with snowy white hair, blue eyes, and pale skin, he's into studying other cultures and other languages. Nékos is a flirt and likes being around people, and even though he tries to avoid it, he'll go full out in battle.

Place of Origin:Mostly Unknown, but she descends from a tribe that also had her animal form, but were supposedly lost, destroyed by more aggressive tribes.

History:  Ida was an orphan with unknown parents, she lived at the edge of a northern town, close to the woods yet not too far from civilization. One day Ida was chased off by a dog who was guarding it's owner's trash bin, making her run into the woods, Ida got lost there, desperately trying to find her way out but only running in circles. Ida was young, and had never been so deep in the forest, so when the cold night descended upon her, she was obviously scared, cold and hungry. She wouldn't survive...If it weren't for the help of two wood dwelling strangers. Ida was found by these two, shivering and barely alive lying under a tree. When she woke up, she was in a warm bed inside of a dark room, she didn't know how she got there, but it definitely didn't tickle her fancy, she was in fact horribly frightened. One minute she was dying in the woods, and the next minute she's in a stranger's house, pretty scary, huh? The little girl quickly sat up in the bed, looking around frantically. At first it seemed vacant, until suddenly a hand clasped over her forehead,  causing Ida to scream in surprise. She looked over to see a tall man with snow white hair and pale skin standing next to the bed. Said man immediately apologized for startling the girl. Ida found out that the man's name was Nékos, and that he and his friend Zorro had rescued her from the cold. After questioning the confused girl, Nékos sadly learned that she had no home, so he decided that she could live at his place.

It took a while for Ida to warm up to the two, especially the intimidating Zorro, but she became used to being around them. Over the years, Zorro and Nékos added her to their training camp roster so she could learn some fighting moves (though Nékos didn't really want her to be a fighter). The training plan for the camp was usually started at the individual's 14th or15th year of age to their 18th year of age, but Zorro decided to start her off in training when Ida was 11 (Which again, Nékos was originally against). Nékos suggested that she should learn Capoeira, mostly for defensive purposes. Ida trained alongside the older students, and was taught most of her educational things from Nékos, and when she wasn't training or being taught, she was encouraged to read, to learn new things on her own. In addition of learning new things on her own, she wanted to have new experiences in life, possibly on her own. But Ida had already explored the small town, there wasn't any nearby cities, and Nékos and Zorro would definitely be against her traveling on her own, it seemed as if there was no way for the (in the point of time) pre-teen to see new sights.

Or so she thought.

One day, Zorro was hunting for the three, when a town's person saw him while he was in fox form. One would be thinking of a normal fox, but that wasn't the case, both Zorro and Nékos were Kitsunes and had pretty big fox forms, being nom-human was the reason why they lived deep in the woods in the first place. Zorro just happened to go hunting bin fox form during hunting season, the deer were usually closer to the base, but for some reason the herds spread out more. Anyway, the town's person saw Zorro, and thought he was a demon, but who could blame him? Zorro was an  fox with six tails, glowing red eyes, and had a  muzzle covered in fresh deer blood. The person ran to his camp, going to get the others hunters. Zorro knew this would be nothing but trouble, so he decided to go back home to warn Nékos and Ida. Once warmed, they had to decide to move from their base, or stay and risk being hunted? Neither Nékos nor Zorro wanted to risk Ida's life, so they packed up the important things and moved. They knew that they couldn't stay near the town, or the woods in the areas near the town, unless they wanted to risk hunters or trappers. While on their journey, they encountered hunters, one even got close to killing Ida, and Zorro went ballistic on them, nearly killing the hunter. They definitely couldn't stay now.  Nékos decided that they could try hiding in a city (Which Zorro was against). They traveled for five days, hunting or stealing food to survive, until they finally reached the nearest city: Jump City. Since Zorro didn't like being in towns unless he was trying to steal something, Nékos was the one responsible for getting a job and buying a place to live, which he didn't mind, being a charismatic guy allowed him to be a people person. It took a few months for them to get stable, but ever since, Nékos, Ida, and Zorro have Bern doing pretty good.

Currently, Zorro rarely stays at the house, he's usually out robbing some low level crime doers, or going to underground fighting matches to earn money. Nékos works as an assistant manager at the popular clothing store Stacy's(get it?). Ida babysits pets and children during the day, but goes out theiving with Zorro at night, and enjoys it, "Remember kids, you're only in trouble if you get caught!".

Sample rp:
Ida was running as fast as she could behind her too teachers, they were really in trouble this time. The brown eyed teen geared the shouts of their pursuers behind them, and cocking of guns. Why can't they just leave us alone, the teen thought to herself. The  girl looked behind her, and instantly regretted her decision, for as soon as she turned her head, she tripped over a tree branch. Ida rolled onto the ground, hissing in pain, she looked down at her ankle which was scraped badly, she possibly sprained it. Ida was so busy examining her injured ankle that she almost failed to notice the hunter and his dog creeping up on her. Suddenly, the hunter snatched Ida by the hair, Ida squirmed in the grip and cried out for help, but she couldn't seem to escape. The hunter scowled "Aw, darn it, you don't look like a demon...." He complained, hoping to get a pelt or tail to prove that he'd killed a demon "But you might be one , since you live with them!" The man exclaimed, then he drew a hunting knife from his boot with his free hand. Ida froze in horror, he wasn't really thinking about killing her, right? Sadly for Ida it was exactly what he was planning on doing. The hunter raised his knife, everything started to go in slow motion for Ida, Am...Am I really going to die, right now, like this?, she thought , she hated how it seemed like everything was going painfully slow, but there wasn't really anything she could do about it. This is it, Ida concluded, she was going to die and the hunter was going to take credit for supposedly killing a demon.

Or at least that's what he thought he was going to do.


Before the hunter could kill Ida, his wrist was grabbed by unknown hand. Ida looked up to see the unforgiving bright orange eyes of Zorro glaring at the hunter with murderous intent. The hunter stood there in stunned silence for a second before starting to stutter "Hey, l-let-" but before the man could finish, Zorro slashed the man's face with his clawed free hand. The man exclaimed in pain and Zorro let him fall to the ground, only to start beating him mercilessly, causing  blood to splatter in various places. Ida stared with wide eyes horror as more and more blood soaked the forest floor, but despite the man's cries for mercy, Zorro didn't let up. The hunter was going to die. Zorro took the knife from the victim's now limp hand, and was about to go for the kill, Ida decided then that enough was enough. "Zorro don't, please!" She cried, causing the kitsune to pause his actions and look at the teen, Ida could see the crazed look in his eyes from the slits of his blood covered masked. Zorro stared at her hard before Ida responded "Please Zorro...No more blood...Please" she said, a whimper daring to creep into her voice. Zorro looked around, noticing now how the crimson liquid covered almost everything, especially his clothing. The kitsune looked at Ida, his gaze soften, he didn't mean to lose himself in front of her, so after a moment of guilt filled silence, Zorro murmured "Ok....". Ida heard disappointment in his voice, she did mean for him to feel guilty, he was protecting her after all, but before she could say anything, the sounds of approaching hunters caught both of their attention. Zorro knew they couldn't delay anymore, so he suddenly scooped up Ida and rushed into the shadows, leaving the beaten hunter alone on the ground.

Later that evening, Zorro Nékos and Ida took refuge in question cave, waiting out the hunters. Nékos was busy kindling a small fire he'd started, Zorro was keeping watch, and Ida sat in the corner of the cave, trying to get the image of the bloodied man out of her mind. I hated seeing that..But I hope Zorro doesn't feel too bad about what he did.., she thought before looking over to the mask wearing Kitsune. Zorro had his back towards Ida, but he probably felt her staring, because he looked over his shoulder at her. Ida quickly looked away from his gaze, causing Zorro to flinch a bit. Nékos felt the tension in the cave, and decided to start a conversation "Well, I don't want to sound grave, but we can't stay here any longer, anyone have suggestions?" He asked, Zorro was silent, and so was Ida, nevertheless, Nékos continued. "I think we should head to the nearest city, and start anew" instantly when hearing this idea, both Zorro and Ida looked up at the white haired kitsune. "We can actually go live in a city?" The teen girl asked excitedly, Zorro answered with a gruff "No...", both Ida and Nékos looked at him in surprise. "Come on Zorro, we can't stay in the woods forever..." Nékos said, Zorro was silent, Nékos frowned "Think about Ida..." He said with a bit more edge in his voice. Zorro became tense. Ida didn't want Zorro to feel conflicted on the count of her, "We..We could always live in another forest..." Ida murmured  somewhat crestfallen, Zorro looked at her again, he hated the city, but he didn't want to discourage Ida, so the kitsune sighed "If it's best....". Ida beamed "Really, y-you mean it?" She asked with a small smile, Nékos nodded but then glanced at the mask wearing Kitsune, waiting for his reaction. Zorro was looking out into the night sky for a bit, in deep thought. He knew Ida wanted to go to the city, she was a growing girl that wanted to experience new things, but..He was afraid the city might change her. But looking at her again, seeing the hopeful look in her large brown eyes, it hurt Zorro to even consider saying no. So, even though he was mostly against it, Zorro nodded slowly. Ida suddenly let out a small squeal of joy, rushed over to Zorro, and embraced him. Zorro seemed shocked at first, but then hugged her back, and smiled under his mask.
~~~~~~~~~

The next morning, Nékos, Ida and Zorro were on their way to the nearest city, and Ida could hardly wait, Hopefully there's some type of forest or park there, so Zorro can have a place to get reconnected with nature, she thought, she didn't know what was to expect, and she didn't know how long they had to stay, but she was going to make the most out of it...

(Please forgive me for any bad choice in diction, I tend to make better posts when interacted with others)[/b][/color][/color]

I have completed this application, hopefully it is up to standards.

Claimed by the Man of Science!

Bump.

My apologies. I've been rather busy the past couple days. Hopefully i can finish all my apps today.

Embodiment of fire is ok. However, I do need a couple more things added on. How long does it take for her to transform. How long can she hold this form. When re turning to human form, how long does she have to wait before going back to being the embodiment of fire?

So what's the range on her fire blasts? I'm assuming that any "bursts" should have at most half the radius. How hot is this flame, and how long can she sustain it. What kind of damage does the hellfire scream do?

Now here's the interesting one. I need you to be more specific about how much fire she needs to absorb to attain any given heat. Also, does she have to touch fire to absorb it, or can she will the fire to come to her. If she can will fire to come to her, what's the range on this ability?

Edited, hopefully I didn't leave anything out.

Given the time frame of posts, I'll accept those transformation times. I still need to know how long she can sustain both partial and full forms. Considering just how much flame she needs to absorb for this, I think I can accept those as they are.

So just add those last bits of time information and we should be good.

Edited.

Reevaluation bump.
