Kenko blearily looked out from under her lilac bangs at the man she'd knocked across the room, her jade-azure eyes widening slightly as she tried to focus, before finally giving up and returning her attention to the forms that were sprawled out on the glass-top table in front of her. She briefly contemplated the idea of covering them with vomit, but quickly decided that it would not be an altogether pleasant experience filling out vomit-covered forms, so she stumbled into the ladies bathroom, and retched her guts up. Lovely. After what seemed like a few hours of vomiting, which was, in fact, a few hours of vomiting, Kenko emerged, wiping her mouth on her arm, feeling somewhat more sober, and quite hungry as she had emptied the majority of her stomach into the porcelain bowl. Pausing for a moment, she quickly went back and flushed the toilet, thinking that it wouldn't be too nice for someone to walk into a room with a smell... Well, a smell that defied definition.
Sitting back down, Kenko looked once more over the forms, reading them out loud to herself, chewing on the end of the borrowed pen as she did so.
"Number one. Name." Pausing briefly to think about this, Kenko jotted down 'Hino Kenko' before looking onto the next question. "Number two. Age." Again, she paused, counting out on her fingers, having to put the pen down for a moment so she could use both hands. '19.' Again, she moved on. "Number three. Gender." Raising her eyebrow, she nodded her head slightly, pleased by the fact that she knew the answer without having to check. 'Female'. So far, so good. Next question. "Sexual Preference." Narrowing her gaze, Kenko glanced around. What the hell kind of question was that? How the hell did it in anyway relate to her powers? Glancing down the questions further, she growled under her breath. How did any of these questions relate at all!? Her first childhood memory? If she'd ever danced with three monkeys on a saturday night whilst taking tequila shots out of her shoe? Curling her first up, small wafts of flame began to come up from the skin, before she gritted her teeth, and wrote her answer. "None of your FUCKING business."
Continuing on, she used this answer many time during the extent of the forms, before
finally reaching the section that related to her powers. Due to her own inability to coherently explain them, the author shall now give Kenko a touch of insight for a moment, so she can explain her abilities in full detail.
Quote:
An 'Alter' ability is unique to each person that is born with it, although the way the power is generated is basically the same in each individual. The Alter User takes other matter and reforms it for use in their own way, in the case of one Hino Kenko, as a manifestation of fire. An Alter is comprised of three stages, and the majority of Alter users never pass the first stage of their power, either being too weak to rise up, or not having enough drive to push themselves to the limit. Each also has a physical effect. It should also be stated, the the majority of Alter uses gain heightened strength and speed whilst using their power, and this is also so for Kenko
First Stage
Physical Effect: Kenko's arms become encased in a red-hard 'metal', almost gauntlet like devices that reach upto her shoulders. Each gauntlet has three gems on the forearm, in a triangle pattern, two of them dull whilst one glows a vibrant blue. Other than that, the 'gauntlets are rather plain.
Power: Basic manipulation of heat, and the ability to enforce that heat upon a singular in-animate object. In this case, she uses the giant sword that she always carries, super-heating it to the point that the metal should be dripping off it, although it mysteriously stays solid.
Second Stage:
Physical Effect: Another gem lights up on each gauntlet, and a few more details are added to them, such as larger spikes up on the shoulders, and steam vents form along her triceps. Also a small piece of 'red metal' forms under her right eye.
Power: Basically a suped up version of the first. Able to reach higher temperatures than before on an inaminate object, also able to weakly enforce this onto a living object easily. (Example of usage: In a battle against someone, they would be sweating from extreme heat, becoming exhausted faster). Also able to kick up a screen to steam after a fair amount of fighting, via the vents, obscuring everyone's view of her.
Third Stage:
Physical Effect: The final gem lights up, and the "red-metal" spreads, becoming a full body suit. The look is unknown, simply because Kenko has yet to reach this stage in her devolopment, or though most likely because the author is too lazy to think about it at the moment.
Power: No longer needs a inanimate object to guide the flame with, and is able to shape the flame into what one desires. (Read: Real Fire Sword/Absoloute control over flames and other forms of heat) Complete immunity to heat and the like... And as everything must have it's opposite, very easily overpowered by the cold.
Finally finished, Kenko grinned to herself, collecting the numerous amount of forms and stumbling upto the front desk, still slightly tipsy, though nowhere near as drunk as she was earlier. Noticing Jen, she arched an eyebrow.
"You were a guy earlier. How did you change?" Before the secretary could answer, Kenko continued on. "Nevermind that. I like it. You look good." Handing over the forms, she flashed a seductive grin, quickly scribbling down her number onto a scrap of paper, handing it over. "Give me a call, whenever you're feeling adventerous..." She purred out, winking, before she sauntered (well, it would've been a saunter if she wasn't stumbling every three steps) out of the building.
