[indent]< Polaris | Asia >[/indent][/b][/color]
[indent][color=darkgray]Better known by its Chinese name 「北斗七星」 - [i]Běidǒu Qīxīng[/i] - in China, or [i]Hokuto Shichisei[/i] in Japan, [b]Polaris[/b] is a secretive organization based in Asia, dating as far back as the Chinese Civil War period. Originated from Suilan, its influence has spread beyond China, with followers from all over Asia. The cult is headed by seven leaders, called Spirits: at the very top, Yin and Yang, followed by [i]Wu Xing[/i], or the Five Elements (Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth). While records about this shadowy group are scarce, there are numerous rumors about them, such as some of the top Chinese government officials may be descendants of the cult, suspected of performing 'rituals' or 'dark magic' (inhuman experiments) to create a powerful Metahuman army of their own, even having absolute control over the Asian underworld. They may also have some connections with the Founding Family...[/color]

[color=darkgray][b]BRIEF DESCRIPTION[/b][/color]
[indent]One of the seven Spirits of Polaris, representing the fire element. Xing Huo scrapped her original name upon joining the cult. Tall and lithe-limbed with curves in all the right places - the kind of killer body that is most desired by the people of the current era - except that her power has turned her skin and hair into a fiery-red color... into a living, walking flame torch. When she is in her human form she has a fair complexion with golden highlights, and her long, waist-length hair a silky black. She is obsessed with the meaning of colors, and her favorite color is red (well, it's [i]obvious[/i]). She has an eccentric personality, and is rumored to have a strange lust for young men.[/indent]
[color=darkgray][b]POWER[/b][/color]
[indent][b][i]"Inferno Meltdown" - Lava/Magma Physiology[/i] |[/b] Xing Huo's ability is an interesting form of pyrokinesis - her very body is the 'fire' that she manipulates with, and anything that touches her lava-hot self will be reduced to ash; she can also cause things with lower heat resistance to melt or vaporize when they are within her heat range. To a smaller extent she can recharge her inferno by absorbing external fire sources. She is able to shoot her [s]booty[/s] body fire outwards, though the distance is rather short, maximum about ten feet. Just like any fire benders, she is weak against ice types; water too, but only if you douse her with a retarded amount of icy-cold water. Each time she uses her power it will leave her stark-naked (yes, since her clothes are burned away by her own body flame).[/indent][/hider][/list]

[color=darkgray][b]BRIEF DESCRIPTION[/b][/color]
[indent]Like her older sister Xing Huo, Shui Xian has thrown away her original name upon joining Polaris; currently the Spirit of Water within the cult. She is shorter than the equally vain Xing Huo by half a head, and she's slimmer, with pale, bluish skin. Her dark, curly hair is kept at shoulder length with navy highlights for the fringe; she often wears push-up bras in attempt to make her sorry chest look less flat.[/indent]
[color=darkgray][b]POWER[/b][/color]
[indent][b][i]"Tempestas" - Weather Manipulation[/i] |[/b] Shui Xian considers herself as a 'demi-goddess' because of her very ability to control the weather - from common thunderstorms to freezing blizzards, even raging hurricanes - which makes her highly sought after by top Chinese agricultural companies (or rather, they have to [s]lick her feet[/s] [i]worship[/i] her in order to get her 'divine protection'). However, the bigger the feat, the longer time she will need to call in the clouds in order to build up a wide-area storm. Even if it's on a small scale, her power is still slower to execute compared to pure elemental benders (those who manipulate related elements such as air, water, ice or electricity). Also, being able to command the weather doesn't make her immune to the effects that come with the storm; for example, she still can get a nasty shock from her own lightning strike.[/indent][/hider][/list]

[indent]Jin-Chanzi
(金蝉子, [i]lit.[/i] Golden Cicada)[/indent]
[color=darkgray][b]OTHER NAMES[/b][/color]
[indent]Real name unknown[/indent]
[color=darkgray][b]AGE[/b][/color]
[indent]Undisclosed, but human form appears to be somewhere in the 40s[/indent]
[color=darkgray][b]BRIEF DESCRIPTION[/b][/color]
[indent]One of the seven Spirits of Polaris, representing the metal element. Jin-Chanzi's original appearance had "melted" away under the effect of his ability, turning him into a humanoid figure coated with a silvery, liquid metal-like substance (aka some toxic shit you won't want to get too close with, really). In human form, he appears to be a short and skinny man, with tan, wrinkled skin that made him appear much older than his actual age. Long bony face, dark beady eyes, small - almost flat - nose, and a wide mouth that is surrounded by a thick mane of black beard, with his long greasy hair is sleeked back into a simple ponytail behind his head. He is often seen in a pinstriped suit.[/indent]
[color=darkgray][b]POWER[/b][/color]
[indent][b][i]"Terracotta Warrior" - Mercury Physiology[/i] |[/b] The silvery substance is Jin-Chanzi's "natural" form, in which he can also bend and shape it to his will, such as shifting part of his limbs into sharp weaponry. He is resistant to most physical attacks - whether they are dents caused by repeated punching or being sprayed by machine guns, he can easily regenerate and close up those holes. Freezing him only slows him down and doesn't hurt him in any way. That isn't to say that he has no weaknesses - one, he is obviously susceptible to electrical attacks as he's a living conductor, which can effectively stun him from overcharging; two, at the cost of being resistant to cold, his control over his power (and body) will be reduced if the temperature is over 150°C (302°F) as he would become increasingly volatile. He is most certainly as good as dead if he gets too close to the boiling point (356°C/674°F).[/indent][/hider][/list]
