## **Bio**

**Mikami Hibiki (Commonly: Hibi)**
Hibiki is an OC present in the Pangaea Roleplay Discord server. She is one of the weaker characters, being on-par with humans in terms of durability and strength. Her abilities; Wilting Rose, Thaum and Wither's Grace are a devastating set of abilities to wildlife and plant-based creatures. Hibi is currently an in-progress OC, and will be played by *@Plushie Puppy#2811* (once completed).

**Appearance**
Hibiki Mikami sports a white-ish long-sleeve shirt which is usually stained with food and other such condiments that one might desire to eat. On her lower half, she wears black. straight-legged trousers similar to those worn at work or school. These are usually accompanied with stains or rips, since she cannot see whether or not anything has happened to them. This is further made obvious by her parent's lack of help, which means she sometimes picks out the same clothes for several days in a row, until a friend comes round.

**Personality**
To most people, she is theorised to be a 'proper lady', due to her family's lineage. In reality, she's short-tempered, prideful, and has an improper attitude with some slight violent boyish tendencies (or masculine since she wears boxers and an undershirt) and insecurities, a fact few people know of. Despite this, she is friendly and easygoing, with most of her friends commenting on how they are shocked to find that, compared top the rest of her family, she doesn't boast and shove her wealth in other's faces.

She often shows an incredibly immature and selfish side and displays heavy tsundere tendencies when people she likes insults her. To add to this childishness, she is inclined towards cute things, such as wolves and dogs. When she realizes that a stuffed animal another person is carrying is something different, she immediately loses all of her interest in the stuffed animal. She has a very irrational and unexplained fear of bugs, similar to an anime character she watches: Saiki Kusuo. She can also be slightly hypocritical at times, getting angry at people for not calling her by her name. While generally amicable and humble, Hibi is highly individualistic. She often prefers to be solitary and dislikes the idea of being restricted by rules and duties such as those of the school and local authorities. She wishes to avoid endangering other people and relies on her powers to try to solve problems on her own, frequently despite her better judgment.

She has a keen sense of justice, and secretly likes cute things, especially wolves, and is easily embarrassed. Hibi is also good at playing the violin, despite her refusing to take lessons in music. Furthermore, she naturally acts as a leader and becomes the center of attention by everyone, yet she cannot mingle with those people regardless of being the center.

Hibiki is known for being very intelligent, shown when she answers questions deliberately made to throw her off correctly. One of her key focus points is in Physics and theories about how the universe works. These subjects make adults see her as an equal, despite her mental age being around the same as a 13 year old's.

## **History**

As a child, Hibi was constantly berated for her “curse”. Beaten almost constantly, she was rendered blind. Her early life was no better, when her powers were barely noticeable. In fact, at first, her family thought her blessed. Cleaning weeds and other such pestilent plants simply by walking over them made their material gains stand out even more.

It was on her 8th birthday when her “ability” became obvious to those around her. It wasn’t a blessing. Every step she took caused the life around her to wither and wilt away. The soles of her shoes dissolved away and fused with the stone, creating a viscous mixture of rubber and stone. Everyone had suspicions, but they didn’t expect the worst to come to bare. For the rest of her life, all she would see is darkness. Apparently this was a just method of stopping the spread of "evil" throughout the family tree.

The beatings she would receive rendered her blind later in life, at just 9 years old. Since then, she has had little support from her family, who hope that she will eventually leave them alone forever.

Now, at the age of 16, she has enrolled herself at Gilasev’s Institute.Unable to put on her uniform every day, she changes it once per week. She awaits to see what happens at her new school.

## **Power Overview**

Hibi's magic is rather petrifying when looked at from an outside perspective. Wither's Grace has been the forefront reason why she has received so much hate and bullying. After all, the ability to wither away anything you touch without wearing gloves would cause untold frustration to those around you, and more than enough hate to last a several lifetimes.

While the extent of this hasn't been explored fully due to the lack of interest from pharmaceutical companies and splinter government agencies, Hibi has done her own "tests", usually at local trash heaps, being seen as both the Devil and Angel for what she does. As she is testing her powers to see how strong they actually are, she inevitably withers away heaps of garbage in seconds, usually turning it into a caustic mist. This has led several companies to offer an agreement for her. Not to hire, but to buy as a tool.

Another one of Hibi's "abilities", is Hollowed Wake. One of the more personally troubling, this cannot be "turned off", per say. As a passive, all plants will wither and die, leaving any dirt covered area stained black with the scent of death. This ground is Hollowed, consisting of a thin layer of death debris over the bare earth. This effect is only in effect directly under the sole of Hibi, and doesn't have an effect through shoes with thick soles. It cannot harm people, but will slowly kill off cells and bacteria when held against someone. Earth cursed by this effect dies, and becomes toxic to both humans and animals alike when ingested. The reason? Hibi's bare feet produce an ungodly solution consisting of carborane.

### (Passive) First Ability: Wither's Grace

Wither's Grace is a passive ability, similar to Wilting Rose. This "ability", or more commonly identified as a "Curse", wilts and starves any nearby animals and plant-life. This stems from the user's feet secreting an acid on par with Carborane. When this comes in contact with the ground, it will wilt and kill off nearby plant-life, turning it into a viscous, black substance. This can melt through rubber, usually fusing with rocks and stones, creating a substance similar to glue.

### (Passive) Second Ability: Wilting Rose

Hibi's second ability, Wilting Rose is yet another Passive ability. Unlike the first ability, this has a negative impact on Hibiki's physical well-being, causing bruises, headaches, migraines and even unconsciousness depending on the situation. Wilting Rose reacts when someone within 10 meters is being healed by some sort of healing magic. When this happens, Hibi recieves 1/4 the healing, and transforms the healing into a natural process, forcing the body's metabolism to greatly increase. Increasing beyond the natural limit causes symptoms, with the most extreme cases leaving the user comatose for several posts.

### (Active) Third Ability: Thaum

Thaum allows the user to wither and dissolve most plants, and certain materials based on plants, with a simple touch. Any natural-based material such as wool from sheep can be dissolved in seconds when touched with the bare hand. This has no effect on people, but can be used to create Carborane, which can kill someone just from the fumes alone, making it deadly to even people in Hazardous Material suits, or Hazmat for short. Although it is almost exclusively used to kill off plants such as weeds, it can also remove dead cells from a person, and heal scars over a span of a few days of treatment from this ability.

## Additional Information

**Abilities**
Hibi can use a form of echolocation, primarily when in a room or when in a quiet area. For this to happen, she needs to either use a cane, or some sort of solid object to create a sound close to her. This sound then bounces off the object, and Hibiki recieves it in the form of an image. She can't detect the colour of the object for obvious reasons, but can aproximate the consistency of the object, and how dense it is.

**Skills**
Despite her past, she is remarkably good at the Violin, despite not wanting to take any lessons on it. This stems from both natural skill, and from her early childhood when she used to play in the school band before the incident which left her completely blind.

**Weaknesses**
As one might think, Hibi isn't a particularly efficient fighter. She cannot use her echolocation when an area is loud, or when out in a completely empty environment. She is also slow, as she doesn't tend to run, wanting not to run into a wall or trip over something. This is further shown by her use of crutches, which also double as a short walking cane to help her feel around an area.

## **Extras (Stats and Examinations)**

### **Physical Examination**

```
**Power: 5**

```

```
 **Speed:** 0

```

*Most of her time is spent walking. Very slowly walking. Although she is capable of running, she is nothing special in terms of speed.*

```
**Toughness:** 10

```

*What might one expect? She's been beaten black and blue in the past. She's nearly developing an iron exoskeleton at this point.*

```
**Stamina:** 5

```

*Hibi hasn't been able to fully test how long nor far she can run, thus, she has not even been able to run around in recent years. Even more concerning, her arms are what makes up the majority of this stat, since Hibi can swing a cane so fast and for so long, it could potentially break the sound barrier. One day. Maybe not. Who knows?*

```
**Attractiveness:** 5

```

*Hibi, as one should know by now, cannot see. At all. However, this doesn't change the fact she sees herself as beautiful in every aspect. While not being blind from birth, she never had the mental capacity to properly comprehend beauty and attractiveness. Due to this, she keeps her spirits up by believing she is the best looking person in the world.*

### **Mental Examination**

```
**Perception:** 0

```

*I hope I don't have to explain why a literal blind person has a 0 in perception. (Check abilities for passives that may enhance this)*

```
**Intelligence:** 10

```

*In recent years, Hibi hasn't been able to read nor study due to her affliction. As a result, her intelligence has taken a giant hit.*

```
**Manipulation:** 5

```

*Caring for others, she harbours very little skills when it comes to manipulating others, although, she can be very convincing.*

```
**Precision:** 0

```

*It should be obvious why Hibi, a blind person, has a 0 in this particular skill. Only her natural Sonar-like echolocation raises this up to 15.*

```
**Fighting Skill:** 0

```

*Yes, people can fight when blind. But Hibi is only 16. The only fighting move she knows is where particular groin areas are in relation to a person's voice. AKA: She can punt people's groin areas with enough force to send them to the upper stratosphere.*

### **Magical Examination**

```
**Magic Control:** 5

```

*The only ability capable of being used accurately is directly influenced by her hands, which she can only feel, and not see. Due to this, her control in terms of accuracy has decreased exponentially.*

```
**Magic Power:** 400

```
