First Name: Candice
Last Name: Rease
Alias or Nick-name: Jawbreaker
Age: 16
Height/Weight: 5'0"/98lbs
Eyes: maroon (variable)
Hair: Brown (variable)
Persuasion: Bad- While not evil, Jawbreaker is a vicious and selfish individual whom acts in her own intrest with little intrest in the reprecusssions that her actions bring on others.
Powers/Weapons:
Glucose Biology: Jawbreakers body composition has been altered, replacing her carbon based cellular makeup with a homogenious glucose intermixed with Complex sugars, preservatives, dyes and sweeteners. She is essentially made of a thick candy syrup with a hardened outer shell. This structure allows her numerious advantages over the typical fleash and blood biology. These benefits are listed below.
Shapeshifting: By manipulating her body shape and coloration, Jawbreaker can assume a plethora of forms. At its most basic level, it allows her to assume any humanoid form she chooses, complete with clothing. She can also change into animal forms, or inanimate objects of various sizes. Though she can assume larger forms, she cannot decrease her mass to allow her to assume smaller ones. Regardless of her shape, she lacks the ability to form complex intermoving parts, and any shape involving these will be non functional. She could take the shape of a car, but it'd simply be a solid mass of her candy like body, incapable of being operated, though she could make her own body move enough to recreate the motion of wheels. Regardless of the level of detail she can recreate, her form is recognizable by the glossyness of the surface, and the unnaturally smooth, hard outer layer.
Sugar Chemical configuration: Changing the arrangment and ratios of the sugars in her body allows Jawbreaker to change the chemical configuration of her body. She can melt into a thick syrup, harden herself into a solid mass similar to her namesake becoming inpenetrable to small arms fire and increased strength, became a sticky, elastic semi fluid similar to taffy or bubble gum. She can change her body with enough control that she can finely control the chemical composition of individual parts of her body, leaving some fluid while others are hardened or elastic. Essentially, she can become any candy which she chooses, or any combination there of.
Candy generation-Using means not yet fully understod, Jawbreakers body can generate additional mass in the form of the same candy that she can become, and project it outwords. This allows a wide variaty of options for her. Blasts of sticky gum, licorice ropes, bullet like hard candies, walls of hardened rock candies, and many other options.
Regenerative powers- Jawbreakers body is naturally drawn to itself, and parts seperated from the whole will attempt to rejoin with the rest of her body unless directed otherwise. It takes a significant scattering of her component mass to render her inert.
Candy conglomeration- Jawbreaker can add additional mass to her body by absorbing other objects with similar composition. It is not know what the upper limit of her ability to grow in size is though this method, but it is known that beyond two stories in size, there is an inverse relationship between her size and her level of control over her bodymass.
Candy animation- While not capable of directly controling candy that is not a part of herself, she can create bodies out of her own and exert control over their motions at a distance. The smaller the body is, the more of them she can control at a time. Chocolate Bunnies are a favorite, though killer gummi bears are also a common choice.
Sweet goodbye- Kissing the target, Jawbreaker floods their body with enough concentrated sugar to overload their bodys ability to function. Symptoms begin almost immeaditly as one of the strongest sugar rushes of the victems life. The trembling becomes more sevear to the point where death by cardiac failure takes place within less than ten minutes unless medical attention can be reached.
Biological needs- Jawbreakers body no longer requires rest, her mind still does need sleep to remain alert and focused. She does not need to drink or breath, but she does need to occationally supplement her body with additional sugars to replace the small amounts which are lost over time. Since she typically enjoys snacking on sweets, this is seldom a problem.
Weaknesses
Heat- Regardless of the form she takes, both herself and sugary creations that she makes are still composed of glucose. When heated, they begin to weaken and melt into an inert paste. Her will provides a buffer against melting, making her creations more resistant than normal candies, but even normal flames is enough to begin melting, with the size and heat influencing how quickly the melting takes place. This is very painful for Jawbreaker, and usually causes her to lose conciousness once her ody begins to liquify. Even if she dosnt, she becomes almost completly harmless, simply a puddle on the ground. oce cooled, she'll begin to reform again.
Water- Water is less a danger to her than heat, but large amounts can disolve her sugary body and her creations, eroding them away and rendering them inert. A slower method than heat, this can still prove effective. As she breaks down the color drains from her body and loses its structral integratity
History:
Other attributes
Intellect- Candice is an exceptionally intlligent girl, gifted with near perfect memory, allowing her to recall nearly anything that she's observed, even if only breifly. Her intellect allows her to coordinate complex schemes, but are often flawed to to her immature personality.
Physcial strength- While slightly below average in terms of physcial abilities, her abilities allow her to lift and move objects of up to 10 tons.
History: Candice Rease was simply to smart for her own good. Her appatite for knowledge even from a young age was insatiable, and her memory was flawless. They also gave her a far to high opponion of herself, belaving that she was 'the best' at anything she applied herself to. And for a while, when dealing with her young peers, this was true. She was a top graded student, even after skipping grades. Unable to keep her intrest in education alone, her guidence counseler recomended joining a club in her free time. She disliked stoprts, finding them below her, but found her place in the game club, especially with games of intellect.
Unfortunatly, her brainyness made it far to easy for her to win against her peers and even adults. This only fed into her own prideful nature and lead her to boast widely upon her inability to be bested. Angry at her actions, but also hoping to teach her a lesson in humility, one of the teachers, himself a former reagional chess champion, sought to humble Candice in a game. Part way through, the gentleman was astonished to find his best attempts we're still not enough and he was losing. Out of options, he cheated, altering the board while Candice wasnt looking. When he won, Candice was furious, screaming at the top of her lungs that he'd cheated her, even attacking the teacher.
Suspended from school and given a psychiatric examination, it was recomended that Candice'streatment be two fold. The first was that she needed to be challenged academically, while the second was that she needed to placed in less competitive situations where work could be done to curb her overly high sense of self.
The first part was a complete success. She was given higher level acadmeic work aide from normal school work, providing the stimulating mental work that she desperatly needed. And for a time, it was thought that the second aspect was likewise working. She was slowly introduced to low competitive games and activites and taught to be a good sport regardless of the outcome of such games.
Outside of therepy more than a year later, Candice submittied an application to partake in a childrens game show. Believing that she'd overcome her competitive nature, her parents allowed it. The show was constructed to test the knowledge of the contestents in various feilds. Candice excelled, winning week after week, racking up various prizes. However, her old habits began to reassert itself. She became obnoxiously confident and held herself as the undefeatable champion of the show. Such a smug nature did not boad well with audiences and rating began to drop.
Hoping to be rid of Candice, she was placed into a compition for grand champion with other child prodigies. It was one of the first legimitatly challenging exercises she'd ever faced against children her own age. In the end, Candice took second, with a consolation prize of a years worth of sweet candies. She had lost fair and square, but her own pride refused to believe such an outcome had taken place.
Secluding herself at home, she spent her time enjoying her reward as best she could, eating to fill the void she felt. She poured over books, though the action was listless and without any joy. Her delusion had her convinced that she'd been cheated, and that such unfair play needed punishment.
It wasby chance coincidence that circumstances conspired to give her the revenge she wanted. Unbeknowns to herself or anyone else, the candy she'd recieved as her consolation prize was contaminated. The sugar cane that the manufacturer used was grown on a feild which had been the site of a meteor crash thousands of years prior. The soil was infused with trace particles of the asteroid. These same particles were present in all the sweets that they produced. However, the concentration was so slight that it had gone unnoticed, and it was only Candice, eating so much of the tainted sugar in such a small period of time that allowed it to build up in her body until a critical mass was reached.
The mutagenic reaction fused her body with the same chemical components which she'd been ingesting, transforming her tissue into a candy like material. Her new form, innitially disorinting, even terrifying, was difficult for her to control. But with practice, she learned control over her sweetened form.
Using her power with the kind of cruelty that only a childs mind can dream up, she attacked the studio which she believed had wronged her. Her power gave her the means to send the studio into chaos. While she wanted to recieve an apology on broadcasted television, she insted accidently ended up starting a fire. The heat caused her body to begin melting, and in her semiliquid state, she fled into the sewers. But it was not an entirly wasted effort. The studio burned to the ground, and left Candice feeling exillirated. In her mind, it was a victory.
Regrouping after this first act of crime, Jawbreaker has mad several small time capers, including a few bank robberies aswell as crimes against persons or orginizations whom she feels have wronged her in some way. Her own sense of superiority, as well as her desire for 'fair play' leads her to toy with victems, setting them in situations where she can prove to herself her own superiority. Such activities are as childish as they are violent, with the 'fair play' all but guarenteeing her victems demise. Of course, any who happen to pass her tests are immeaditly accused of cheating and delt with accordingly.
