[sub][b]//Abiliites:[/b]
	[COLOR=BLACK]• [b]Hyperhuman Ability[/b] | [i]Pyrokinesis, also known as the fire manipulation. Mei has the power to manipulate fire with a touch of her fingertips. So long as there is a source of fire within her vicinity, whether it'd be a mere barrel fire or a full on inferno, she is able to bend it to her will and have do anything she wishes, up to but not limited to incinerating everything in her path. The fire that she manipulates is able to take on many forms, shapes, and sizes, however she is not as adept with certain forms as she is with others. [/i][/COLOR]
	
	[COLOR=BLACK]• [b]Limitation(s)[/b] | [i]As previously stated, Mei requires some sort of fire near her of adequate size to do something effective. A measly match may not be able to help her take out a target. However, even with a sufficient source, accuracy and control is also not guaranteed. There is a chance that she may lose control of the fire and be unable to have it do what she wants to do. The bigger the source, the higher her chances of losing control there is. 

Additionally, she cannot uphold her pyrokinesis for too long. It doesn't take long for her to tire. Luckily, her stamina and endurance have been steadily increasing as she gets used to her skills and more adept to it. Whether she is ready for an rigorous engagement, however, is yet to be tested.[/i][/COLOR]

	[COLOR=BLACK]• [b]Weakness(es)[/b] | [i]As per the laws of nature, water is Mei's biggest weakness. Drenching her in water is the fastest way to neutralize her and render her useless until she dries off. She has to be perfectly dried out in order to use her abilities to their highest potential. Using her fire skill also leaves her incredibly vulnerable from the rear. She needs someone to watch her back otherwise it is very easy to take her out when isolated.[/i][/COLOR]
[b]//Skills: [/b]
	[COLOR=BLACK]• [b]Wing Chun[/b] | [i]Growing up in Hong Kong, martial arts were incredibly common no matter where you looked. Whether it'd be the television and film industry or random gangsters getting into fights on the streets. Hand to hand combat was the norm where she grew up. As a result, her parents put her into Wing Chun knowing that it would help her out, as well as be a way to dump her for a few hours while her parents spent some time alone. She has not practiced the martial art for a while, but rest assured that she still remembers a thing or two.[/i][/COLOR]

	[COLOR=BLACK]• [b]Computers[/b] | [i]Mei has quite the ability with computers. It isn't on the level where she can hack anything and everything she wishes, but she is able to maneuver her way through various interfaces and figure out what it is she needs to press to get something to work. Mei also has a knack for fixing them, so long as the issue is software-based and not hardware-based. [/i][/COLOR]
[b]//Paraphenalia:[/b]
	[COLOR=BLACK]• [b]iPhone XS Max[/b] | [i]Don't judge. The later the better.[/i][/COLOR]
	[COLOR=BLACK]• [b]Backpack[/b] | [i]Mei typically carries things like her laptop (a 2017 Space Gray MacBook Pro) and a few items that may or may not be related to personal upkeep and hygiene.[/i][/COLOR][/sub][/hider]

[/cell][cell][sub][b][color=gray] Appearance Details[/color][/b][/sub]
[sub][sup][color=black]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/color][/sup][/sub]
[color=black][indent]Mei's most iconic feature is her lithe figure. It is stemmed from the rather harsh beauty standards she was upheld to as a child, where she was berated for being fat despite being a healthy weight. Additionally, much like her fellow exchange students, she often wears the most expensive streetwear brands. Colors and material don't matter as much as the brand and style do. She owns a few shirts that have a phrase that she does not know the meaning of, sometimes they end up being quite vulgar. it plays well into her general attitude and demeanor, making it easier for her to play off the fact that she just straight up doesn't know what it means.[/indent][/color]
[sub][b] Character Synopsis[/b][/sub]
[sub][sup][color=black]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/color][/sup][/sub]
[color=black][indent]Born and raised in Kowloon, Hong Kong, Mei was the child of a government executive and a member of the Hong Kong Independent Commission Against Corruption. The immediate conflict between her parents' occupations meant that relations at home weren't really that good. Fighting was the norm back then as her parents tried to word things in a way that would not incriminate themselves or anyone else. The tension had been so bad that if her parents weren't fighting then there was nothing but silence and other forms of emotional abuse going on. It was hard for Mei to get the attention of her parents as they were more focused on not tipping off each other rather than tending to the needs of their daughter.

That was why as Mei grew up, they usually dumped her off at whatever activity they could. Camps, extra classes, martial arts, whatever to get her out of the house and out of the noxious environment her parents had created. But as she had gotten older, it had become harder to find things to put her in, compounded with her growing rebellious attitude, she had become yet another thorn in her parents' side as they still snaked around and made sure nothing that they didn't need to know slip out of their mouths. It was starting to become dangerous as the majority of Mei's peers had caught wind of her parents' relationship due to the overzealous Hong Kong paparazzi industry.

To make things worse, Mei's pyrokinesis powers were discovered sometime during primary education after an accident involving a bunsen burner and a marshmallow. The paparazzi was soon on the Chan family, and more pressure was created on the family, creating more and more cracks within their already weak foundation as tensions got worse between her parents. It was soon decided that it was better for the whole family to ship Mei off somewhere else, which was what landed her in the hyperhuman program as that was the best course of action for her.

[sub][b] Personality[/b][/sub]
[sub][sup][color=black]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/color][/sup][/sub]
[INDENT][color=black]Mei has one of the worst cases of resting bitch face anyone has ever seen. Rightfully so, since she is most known for her rather cattish disposition. It mostly comes from her disdain for the rather artificial environment that is most prevalent in places such as this. Needless to say, Mei doesn't mesh well with how fake everyone tends to be. She keeps it real, and she makes it clear she doesn't like you. You can count the people she is actually fond of on one hand, mostly consisting of people in her "clique" as that is where she is most comfortable.

Her demeanor knows no bounds, either. Whether it'd be the school administration, her teachers, or even her peers. If she doesn't like what you're doing, she'll call you out on it. This has created a rather unsavory reputation among the school staff, considering her to be one of the biggest delinquents around, despite her not actually stirring much trouble outside of class.
