[COLOR=GRAY][indent]Mei was born in Melbourne, Australia to Japanese father and a Vietnamese mother. The couple owned a Japanese barbecue restaurant and while they were wealthy by any means, they were also not poor. They lived life as a middle class family and all was well especially when the young girl had doting parents who were only all too happy to indulge in the girl’s love for food and eating. As she grew old and big enough, Mei began helping out her parents in their restaurant after school, serving customers and even in the kitchen sometimes when they were short handed. She would spend the off peak hours resting up or doing her homework, and began working once the dinner time came around. Life was bliss for the three of them, and that was how the young Mei hoped her happy life would continue forever. 

Unfortunately, one day all of these would come to an end. It wasn’t long after her ninth birthday, when Mei was playing with her schoolmates in her school field trip in a nature park. After ascending a hill, standing near the edge of a cliff, one of her schoolmates who didn’t like her thought it would be funny if she fell down the cliff with everyone watching. 

Thrown off guard and grasping at air frantically as she fell, silk webbings spurted in a long line from both hands as the sticky web stream stuck itself onto the trunk of a large tree as soon as it made contact. Her fall halted, she found them web thick and strong enough to handle her bodyweight and by then her teacher had begun to help by pulling her up to safety. This changed everything. Everyone began to treat her differently after that, and somehow word began to spread around her family’s restaurant as well. 

The wary looks, curious stares and constant gossiping never stopped. After the restaurant closed one night, Mei heard her parents talking about enrolling her in a school for Hyperhumans. Her parents didn’t want to wait for something to happen, especially now that it was known to many that their daughter was a Hyperhuman. Her parents eventually told her about Pacific Royal Collegiate & University in Canada, and convinced her that it was in her best interest to join the special institution dedicated to helping Hyperhumans learn and control their abilities.

[COLOR=GRAY][INDENT]With a soft and gentle face accentuated by her distinctive facial features, Mei presents a rather comely and pleasing appearance. Just one of the many genes inherited from her parents, her expressive deep brown almond-shaped eyes are without a doubt her most recognisable facial features. 

They twinkle with delight and excitement whenever she finds interest in something, and the twin brown orbs emote expressively in times of happiness, anger or displeasure. Long black locks that reach down to her waist, she usually wears them naturally down, only placing it into a ponytail or a bun when she engages in exercises or any other activity that requires agility.

Comfort is key to her dressing style as she often engages in bouts of highly physical activities. The clothing she wears is often easy to move around in and not too restrictive. These can range from loose fitting t-shirts and oversized sweaters and pants/skirts to form-fitting exercise attire, depending on her mood and the circumstances.

[COLOR=GRAY][INDENT]Strong-willed, passionate and headstrong. These words sum up Mei well. A fun-loving and passionate soul, she loves having fun and works hard just as she plays hard. It is natural for her to devote all her attention to something once it catches her interest. Highly-devoted, she is committed to those she loves and befriends. Since young, she has always been the type to mingle and play around with the boys while still holding her own.

Highly passionate about what she believes in, and armed with an ironclad determination and fighting spirit, she can often prove to be a feisty challenge not everyone can handle. Possessing a whole lot of spunk, she is not one to turn down a challenge. Mei enjoys other people taking an interest in her activities and sometimes doesn't even mind them getting into her space. 

She enjoys lending a hand and sharing her experiences, especially with the people that she cares about. Intensely loyal, once her trust is gained, it is not taken lightly, and she'll always be there to back up her friends and trusted allies alike without hesitation. She is also known to be stubborn, and insisting on doing things her way once she has found a preferred way of doing things. 

She finds it difficult to admit that she has made a mistake and will often persevere and would rather suffer in silence than admit that she is wrong. In certain rare occasions where she would actually see the reason not to persist, she might relent, but these situations are few and far in between.

[INDENT]She can create, shape and manipulate her own silk, a natural protein fibre, some forms of which can be woven into textiles. The protein fibre of silk is composed mainly of fibroin and is produced by oversized spinnerets that are used to create different types of webbing. 

These spinnerets are mutated and enlarged from the ones found on the common spider to withstand the mass amounts of spider silk they excrete from the associated glands. Unlike spiders, these mutated spinnerets are located in her wrists with small orifices that can open and close at will. There are two different kinds of web spigots, with the major one being used for draglines and web spinning, while the minor web spigots are used for cocoons, swatting and netting. 

Her manipulation of silk webbing can range from simple forms like spinning a strand, or a more complex form like building webs and even creating items from it. There are two different types of webs used by spiders, the dragline silk and the flag line silk. The flag silk is weaker but far more elastic, great at absorbing the impacts of shock. The dragline silk is the stronger of the two and slightly stretchy, and is the main spider silk type used for the main support of its web. She is able to create both at will, although practice is required to do so.

It can come in many shapes, be stretchy or strong, it may be thick like cord or thin like wire. With enough practice, she may eventually be able to make it more or less sticky, controlling their density to make them razor-sharp or controlling the direction they fly in. A common spider’s silk is incredibly strong, and compared quantitatively weight for weight, silk webs are 5 times tougher than most steel of the same diameter, and while it may not be as strong as Kevlar, it is tougher than both the common steel and kevlar when compared at the same weight.

Apart from her organic web powers, her strength is also enhanced, allowing her to lift up to 2 tons unassisted with her silk webbing. Assisted with her silk webbing, she is able to withstand far heavier weights by strengthening its integrity to support the weight that is needed at that point of time.

[sub][b][color=ffc725]   L I M I T A T I O N S   ||    ENERGY/CALORIE DEPENDENT[/color][/b][/sub]

[INDENT]The effectiveness and amount of organic webbing depends on her health and nutrition.The organic webbing takes about a week to decompose on its own if there are no interferences. Despite its strength and durability, silk webs still have a weight limit and threshold, and those possessing a strong enough force should be able to break through and overcome it with ease.

The production of the silk webbing naturally also requires a large metabolism from her which means that she has to consume larger portions of food, more than the average amount of someone of her size, especially protein-rich diets to cater to the energy needed for the production of the silks. 

She is almost always hungry, and has to eat 5-6 meals a day, and most of these are not small meals at all. She needs to constantly make sure she is accompanied with snacks or eat a massive meal beforehand, or she will feel weak and dizzy. The distance of how far she can shoot her web is at an estimated 60 feet. It can reach significantly further distances if she shoots it in a ballistic parabolic arc.

[INDENT]Her silk webbing is not too different compared to its pure natural counterpart. It is vulnerable to sharp piercing and thrusting weapons/attacks, although depending on the thickness of the particular thread/rope it is trying to cut or pierce through, more force or time needs to be expended to do so. Another easier way to get rid of it is to expose it to high heat or extreme cold. Like any other pure silk, it is more difficult to set on fire and burn once ignited, therefore constant heat or fire needs to be applied to it for it to be burnt through. The amount of heat varies on the thickness and integrity of the silk. When exposed to constant heat/flame, silk burns faster than cotton, however due to its self-extinguishing properties, once the flame is removed, it will stop burning unlike cotton which will continue burning until extinguished externally.

Freezing it and shattering it at subzero temperatures is also another viable way to destroy it for those with access to cyrokinesis. Corrosive chemicals or powers can also eat through the silk webbing easily as other textile materials. Blunt force can also inflict serious damage if the force is bigger than current weight and tensile strength of the silk webbing in question can handle. Her silk webbing is definitely not invulnerable in any sense of the word, but can be reinforced at all. The biggest damage causer would definitely have to be constant exposure to extreme heat/flame and any forms of sharp piercing or thrusting element attacking it relentlessly.

[COLOR=GRAY][INDENT]Mei’s goals are centred around two main plot points. Living out an idealised romance, inspired by the long lasting love that her parents had shared to this day, and to help better the world for the treatment of all Hyperhumans. Experiencing first hand how hyperhumans are treated by the rest of the world, she yearns to improve this, and hopefully her efforts will be recognised and Hyperhumans will be able to live in society without any stigma that plagues the world of today.

Here in PRCU, you are with like minded mates and you don't have to worry about being judged for being a Hyperhuman. Treasure your time here and learn as much as you can. Utilise every opportunity given to learn and better yourself, for you may not have the chance to do so once you leave this sanctuary. See that activity that looks like fun? Give it a try.
