Meld

"Some people are just better at being moles than humans. I don't think there's anything wrong with that." ~ Meld to Evelynn Boucher.Meld is the codename for a high-ranking Super of Resurgent, a powerful group of criminals who arose in the wake of the Four Kings. She works directly under The Revenant, and acts as a spy for Resurgent.
== Appearance ==
Meld is a young woman of average height and around 16 years of age. She has light brown hair, fair skin and hazel-green eyes. 
Meld's attire will always consist of casual clothing, her most common choice being a white sweater, baggy blue jeans, white joggers and a stylized cap. This choice of clothing helps her to blend in with the crowds of New York City, allowing her to seamlessly escape from the scene of a crime and spy on targets unnoticed. 
== Personality ==
Meld can be described as almost disconnected from society, her view of it almost entirely sardonic and cynical. She believes she has very little social skills, and often spends time by herself on rooftops overlooking the vast city of New York. The only time she is seen around other people is either when talking business, or blending in with a street crowd. 
She believes that she is better suited to a life of serving as a "mole" for Evelynn as opposed to a normal human life. This stems from the fact that she views Evelynn as a mother figure, having lacked any parental guidance during her early childhood. Due to this fact, Meld is very effective at doing her job, and will not hesitate to kill if it means pleasing the Revenant. 
She is very protective of Evelynn due to her crippled state, and fights to maintain her secrecy to the outside world. 
== Backstory ==
Meld was born as the result of an accidental impregnation. Because of this, her parents immediately put her up for adoption, but unfortunately she was never taken into foster care, so instead she spent her life growing up in an orphanage. 
Meld's life was mostly normal, until the age of 13, approximately a year after the Spellplague, she discovered her powers when she accidentally sank an empty car six feet into the ground. The orphanage, being made up of mostly normal humans during a time where Super discrimination was at its worst, began to turn on Meld due to this. She suffered bullying at the hands of her fellow orphans, her friends stopped communicating with her, and orphanage staff began abusing her. Eventually this came to a breaking point, and Meld snapped. 
Meld sneaked out at night, and, using her powers, caused several major support pillars holding the building up to sink into the ground. This caused the building to collapse, either crushing or suffocating all the orphans and staff inside. Satisfied with her revenge, Meld began trekking around the city, wondering aimlessly as she had nowhere to go. 
The next day, Meld was tracked down by police, and questioned on collapse of the orphanage. She admitted to the crime and was arrested without incident. During the trials, as Meld had no money to hire a lawyer, she was provided with a public defender. Meld plead that the orphanage abused her for a year in hopes of getting a reduced sentence on the grounds of mental insanity. At the end of the three year long trial, the jury decided that this was enough to not warrant a life sentence, especially considering she was still a minor, but Meld still faced decades of imprisonment on the grounds of mass murder. Soon after, she was sent to the Blackfield Supermax Facility on the outskirts of NYC - a prison designed specifically to house dangerous Supers. However, months later, she would meet Evelynn Boucher, an ex-Black Watch operative who had been imprisoned on the grounds of mass murder. Together with Evelynn and the rest of the newly formed Resurgent, she made her escape from the facility, and now acts as a spy and a scout for the criminal gang, adopting the nickname "Meld" due to her ability.
== Powers and Abilities ==
=== Liquefying Barrier ===
Meld's ability allows her project an invisible barrier, 20 feet in radius, around herself. Within this barrier, she can liquefy any non-organic substance and shape it freely, as well as instantly harden it again. Her main use of this ability is using it to dig underground and move throughout the city of New York undetected by shaping liquid ground around herself. This makes her optimal in spy, hit-and-run, sabotage and ambush missions as it allows her to essentially always have the element of surprise on her opponent and allows her to escape easily. She can also create constructs by liquefying a material, shaping it, and hardening it again. These constructs can range from walls, pillars, and spikes. 
Meld can also liquefy projectiles such as spears and throwing knives, as well as any handheld weapons an enemy close to her happens to be wielding, so long as they're made up of inorganic materials. She is still, however, entirely susceptible to bullets, as liquefying something is a fully manual process - hence, she can only liquefy what she can physically react to. 
Additionally, she can coat her arms and legs in liquefied ground and instantly harden it, giving her strikes additional impact. The drawback is that she must have at least one open hand touching the ground in order to liquefy it. She can also directly liquefy any objects she's touching, such as pillars, steel beams, etc. 
=== Innate Abilities/Significant Traits ===
* Mole: Meld is a very quick thinker when it comes to sticky situations, and can make an easy escape either by using her ability or blending into a crowd.
* Adept Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Meld is very skilled in hand-to-hand combat despite never receiving any formal training. Her fighting style consists of a variety of moves, both simple and advanced, including swift punches, elbow-strikes and spin-kicks. Combined with her power, she is a very slippery and dangerous opponent.
