### Languages

**Hyperthermia**, called **Mer** for short, is the one who is responsible for raising humans' body temperatures. She is a 4-dimensional entity. She is a temperature entity with the highest body count.

## Appearance

Hyperthermia has dark skin similar to sun tan; this is not caused by any sun exposure and this is her natural skin colour. Her hair appears to be black, brown and blond. She is taller than Mia. Mer has purple eyes that can appear slightly greenish/greyish. She wore her hair in dreadlocks for years.

Hyperthermia appears to her victims in a look that they can get easily manipulated by; this could include revealing clothes. Her mostly seen reflection forms are a beautiful young woman, an old hag and a little girl.

### Style

Mer wears covering, red, orange, brown and black clothes with different sun symbols. Since she does not have a fixed body temperature (poikilothermic), the outside temperature can affect her body temperature but does not have any negative effects like on human bodies. Despite being almost two metres tall, Mer wears long heels.

## Abilities

Mer can raise a human's body temperature from outside while not affecting the hypothalamus, meaning she can't make fevers but cause *heat strokes*. Hyperthermia has both body and mind control whereas Pyrexia only has strong mind control. While her mind control power isn't as strong as Mia's, Mer still can cause hallucinations and can appear as a "reflection" to her victims.

Hyperthermia can make her victims sick by destroying their proteins and even causing brain damage. She is harsh; can cause permanent damage to her victims. Her abilities do not provide any benefit.

## Personality

She wants people to know her better and respect her. She can be considered as a narcissist in human terms. Mer does not like being compared to or mixed up with fever.

Mer's favourite activity is hanging around in deserts and mountains.

### Relationships

#### With humans

Hyperthermia is not liked by humans because she is too harsh to them. She kills nearly hundreds of thousands of humans every year. Mer does not speak to her victims during encounters. Encounters with her are usually short and followed by unconsciousness.

#### With Pyrexia

Pyrexia is fever herself and Mer does not like her. Dislike, not hate; Hyperthermia thinks hate is a strong emotion and Pyrexia is not worth hating. Mer met with her after human interaction, before then, she was unaware of fever. Mer *has never heard of fever before humans* and thinks *fever is human-made*.

## Encounters

People suffering from heat strokes may see a hallucination of Mer before passing out and most victims forget her appearance. The ones who could remember her, think of her as a dream. Unlike Mia, Hyperthermia does not speak to her victims or warn them.

## History

Hyperthermia is originally from Mesopotamia. She travelled through Africa and Asia for her whole life to find someone who was like her. She used the name *Zora Ada* to refer to herself.
Mer met with Mia in much later centuries. They did not need to speak to each other, they understood each other at first glance.

Mer had her voice recorded back in the 1960s on a tape.

* She can also be called "Mia" but does not want to

* The name "Mer" comes from how she pronounces her name, "he-pehr-tem-mehr"
