[color=#6e66c4]FULL NAME:[/color] Jana Reid

[color=#6e66c4]NICKNAMES:[/color] Pigeon girl, Jana✰Star, mudblood

[color=#6e66c4]GENDER:[/color] Female

[color=#6e66c4]AGE:[/color] 17

[color=#6e66c4]BIRTHDAY:[/color] 26/01

[color=#6e66c4]AFFILIATION:[/color] Akechi Family

[color=#6e66c4]WRITTEN APPEARANCE:[/color] Though only 5'4 tall, red goggles on top of green hair make Jana easy to pick out of a crowd. She usually wears skirts and on occasion shorts, as she does not feel comfortable in jeans or long dresses. On the other hand, her tops vary from sweater vests to summer dresses. She prefers her colours soft over flashy and has a thing for plaid patterns.

Jana has a number of blemishes thanks to her reckless parkour hobby. Most are just small scratches on her hands and elbows, but one in particular is a scar that runs across the side of her thigh up to her hip.

Strips of her skin can light up as neon. This happens when she uses her powers, but the patterns also light up when she is blushing from embarrassment, exercise or intoxication. Jana is not in control of this trait.

[color=#6e66c4]PERSONALITY:[/color] Jana’s kind but needy, a people-pleaser and a thrillseeker at the same time. She comes off a lot more reserved than her flashy appearance would suggest, up until there’s something she wants to climb or tag, that is. Her shy demeanor then makes place for a bashful grin… But you’d have to be a good friend of hers to catch a glimpse of that. Or a Zero Time-dweller. That’s where things get crazy!

Within the Akechi, Jana’s a contradiction. She frets about the strict values and commonly cold interactions, her own feelings and values being the complete opposite. Knowledge and tradition is fly and all but… You could also not spit on people outside the family. Still, Jana (mostly) abides by their rules because the Akechi are the closest thing to a family she so desperately longs for. As well as them being the link to her long lost father. 

[color=#6e66c4]LIKES:[/color]
[indent][color=#729EA1]Dancing with Myself:[/color] Jana has a need for physical expression. Doors shut, headphones on, now playing: her personal contemporary heaven.
[color=#729EA1]Friendship(!):[/color] She may or may not be slightly (read: very) clingy but a friend means the world to Jana.
[color=#729EA1]Royalties:[/color] There's certain... Perks, to belonging to powerful family.
[color=#729EA1]Watch This:[/color] Coy as she may act about it, Jana loves to impress. "It's no big deal." She may brush off a compliment, but that ear-to-ear grin tells a different story.
[color=#729EA1]Graffiti Art:[/color] Jana spends way too long in subways. The way these urban messages are delivered really resonates with her.[/indent]

[color=#6e66c4]DISLIKES:[/color]
[indent][color=#729EA1]Throwaway Feelings:[/color] Despite being at odds with their hierarchical and exclusive attitudes, Jana knows she really needs the Akechi family. She is ashamed of this shallow emotional dependence.
[color=#729EA1]Picking Sides:[/color] Whenever a friend or authority asks if she's with or against them, the Jana-train reaches nightmare-station.
[color=#729EA1]Ice Cream:[/color] That cold sensation feels invasive and wrong to a girl who uses her body to generate extreme heat.
[color=#729EA1]Confinement:[/color] Jana gets uncomfortable in tight spaces. She’ll take the stairs over the elevator any day. Crowds are smothering to Jana also. If you ever want to torture her; take Jana clubbing.[/indent]

[color=#6e66c4]STRENGTHS:[/color]
[indent][color=#729EA1]Breakneck Parkour:[/color] While most may not pay their environment much mind, there are two questions always prevalent in Jana's head; "Can I climb it?" and "How fast?"
[color=#729EA1]Tuning In On You:[/color] Jana’s the sensitive type. She can often tell the way those around her are feeling.
[color=#729EA1]Built-In Compass:[/color] Jana has a great sense of direction. Especially when the stars are out.[/indent]

[color=#6e66c4]WEAKNESSES:[/color]
[indent][color=#729EA1]Handwriting:[/color] "No, I'm not fluent in ancient Egyptian, why do you ask?"
[color=#729EA1]Bleeding Heart:[/color] If Jana’s heartstrings were an instrument, there’d be a lot more musicians in this world.
[color=#729EA1]Rats:[/color] Jana was bitten by a rat at a young age, she’s anxious around mere signs of them.[/indent]

[color=#6e66c4]RELATIONSHIPS:[/color]
[indent][color=#729EA1]Arthur Reid:[/color] Jana’s father and last living relative, or so she believes. Arthur Reid is a widower with a background in medical science and an aptitude for psychometry. He’s gone missing during a mission he was on for the Akechi family.
[color=#729EA1]Aohara Mikune:[/color] A rude and headstrong girl who smoked herself out of her shot at competing in track and into sounding like a forty-year old soul singer. Jana’s best friend.
[color=#729EA1]Hector Johnson:[/color] Jana’s squad leader may be a bit stiff, but he’s the closest thing to a big brother she’s got. Hector comes across as a highly competent detective these days, but Jana remembers the time his methods were… Less refined. She reminds him sometimes.
[color=#729EA1]Akechi Touma:[/color] The current family head may or may not harbour resentment towards Jana. Touma’s conduct, frankly, scares Jana. Still, within the Akechi’s hierarchy it is impossible not to respect him. 
[color=#729EA1]Enishi Kizuna:[/color] Jana long admired Kizuna's assertiveness, her posture and her elegance. Jana didn't quite intend to get acknowledged as the rival of the Enichi heir, but as Kizuna and she became close friends, Jana wouldn't have it any other way.
[color=#729EA1]Ruru Gamelat:[/color] Possibly the strangest errand Touma ever sent Jana on was buying the freelancer Ruru a Nintendo Switch as payment for her services. When presented with a Mario Kart bundle, Jana asked if she could come in and play as Bowser. The rest is history.
[color=#729EA1]Akechi Fujino:[/color] Though Fujino is a powerful mage in her own right, Jana can't help but feel sorry for the girl. Pitying a pure-blooded Akechi is a grave insult to Fujino's elders, therefore Jana is unsure how to approach her.
[color=#729EA1]Kurokami Takuto:[/color] Being in a similar position as Jana as far as Touma's retainers go, Jana understands Takuto's feelings about his place in the Akechi. She really hopes he'll keep his chin up and tries to push him in subtle ways.

[/list][/hider]
“There was something he had to take care of, my dad told me when he and I moved to Mahoukyo. An important favour to an important friend, that’s how he broke it down. I didn’t know anyone as committed to favours as dad was. He came home in the early hours and slept most of the day. The neighbours called him a vampire. My classmates dubbed our house Transylvania. 

I was the new kid in town. I was different and it showed. My hair was blonde, theirs was black. My eyes were lime, theirs were brown. I didn’t do well in or after class. In my first month here, the only friends I made were the pigeons in the parking lot. The class knew me as the pigeon girl. One time a girl, Mikune, opened a window on the third floor and told me to fly away. I really wanted to, too.

Mikune, later that year, came up to me to ask me where I got my cigarettes. I told her I didn’t have a smoke, Mikune said I sure smelled like I did. She wasn’t wrong, but it wasn’t because of any cigarettes. I’d been flying, if only just a little. What used to be a parlor trick, turning on the stove with a spark from my fingers, I had pushed to a plasma thruster. Oh, I didn’t mention? I’m a mage and I um… Blast off to places.

That’s when Mikune started following me around. She was on the track team at the time, I bet that’s why she could keep up. One time, when I thought I had shook her, Mikune saw me climbing the vacant houses. The next day she told me to forget about the cigarettes and to tell her if I was part cyborg. She thought it was banging. We have been friends since.

Miku introduced me to her clique. We were… A little troublesome together. That all started with cans of spray paint. If you’ve ever seen the Jana✰Star tag atop the water tower… Or on the metro. Any busway stop. The old factory district down south... That was me, um. Hi? Please don’t judge my early work too harshly.

While I was out causing trouble, dad stopped coming home. At first I thought his favour had him work overtime but I couldn’t keep telling that to myself or the neighbours. I reported him as a missing person, but my dad wouldn’t just ghost me. You and I, we live in the same city. You know how people can sometimes just go poof and disappear? Then nobody knows nothing about it. Well, I was about to make nobody my middle name.
 
I tried to find out what dad’s hustle had been all these years. I, um, kinda burned open his file cabinet. There were pictures of places in the city, strange beasts like the kind I’d never seen before and a mad amount of documents written in some kinda code. And that’s not just me disrespecting his handwriting. These were words Google doesn’t know about. The only clue I found was an envelope addressed to Akechi Yuri… And word on the street is the Akechi don’t deal in favours. My dad owed that family a debt. 

I started asking questions, but that’s how they find you. They going by the name Hector Johnson. He followed me with a cut-up newspaper at the time, it was second-hand embarrassing. His spying skills have come a ways since. Anyway. I might’ve outran him, but soon enough he found my home. Hector, um, encouraged me to join him. He said the big man insisted and Akechi Yuri wouldn’t take no for an answer. So I did.

Before Touma took the reigns, the Akechi were more about family values than they are now. Akechi Yuri knew my dad went missing in Zero Time, but they never found a trace of his body or soul. It was part of the favour he owed. The big man commanded the Akechi took me in. A friend’s daughter was like his own, he said. Touma chose to interpret me as a substitute to pay off my dad’s debt. Either way… Nobody was paying the bills around casa Transylvania.

Akechi Yuri’s health declined rapidly shortly after I joined. Hector would put me through a crash course magic at day and have me go through dad’s research at night. My dad had been hunting for an antidote for Akechi Yuri’s mysterious illness. He’d found enough to stave off the worst, but when he stopped getting back... I think that’s part of the reason Touma hates failure so much. 

When Touma took over, the new head honcho told me a mudblood’s only use was to be Hector’s errand girl. I never took him for a J.K. Rowling fan. Anyway, I stayed on the squad and been a Akechi ever since but… Even more than a family and a place to stay, the Akechi are the only link I have to whatever happened to my dad.“

[center][color=#6e66c4]HIGH/INTERMEDIATE/COMPETENT[/color][/center]
Jana's body emits gases through her pores. These gases can conduct electricity, changing their state of matter into plasma. Igniting these gases may generate immense force; functioning as thrusters that can propel Jana in any direction at high speeds. Additionally, she can emit a more condensed gas to ionise and create a plasma cutter. The length of the plasma cutter depends on the length of her body she uses to create it. A finger would generate a stream the length and width of a toothpick, whereas T-posing could give it the size of a medieval lance. Finally, she possesses great heat resistance because otherwise she'd be a smouldering pile of ash.

Unfortunately, plasma sticks out like a neon-sign. This gives Jana a lot of trouble when it comes to stealth. In the same vein, plasma tends to burn whatever it comes in contact with, which means that most of the time people can smell and track Jana easily when she uses her powers. While she can punch like a freight train by accelerating her arm, this doesn't mean her arm can withstand that impact. When charging her gases, it is also possible for that spark to jump, flaring up more than Jana bargained for.
