So I wanted to make a powered up form for my character Asha. The first slide is what I started with, but I feel like it’s just not giving a powerful vibe. I wanted her hair to be like fire, but still in that Afro type form. She looks kinda goofy right now. I like her base form fine (which is how she looks on all the other slides) but the super form isn’t giving super…it’s just kinda…lacking. I might keep the idea of a jacket made of flames but the hair definitely has to change. Any suggestions?

​Hazel, despite being an absolutely evil woman. Is…deeply traumatized. A woman lost and deluding herself into a path she thinks is the only way.

when she was younger, her parents died early. Or more like her dad left her with her mom who was sick and died. And her dad was in debt. So naturally the loan sharks came to collect. Since the dad ran off, they only found Hazel and her dead mother…so they took her as collateral. To repay her father’s debt, she was going to be made to work for it. Eventually, a scientist came along and bought her off the gang’s hands, paying her debt in full and seeming to be her savior…but he was the farthest thing from it.

She was taken to a lab where she was experimented on. Her pain tolerance was tested to the max, she was ripped apart and put back together again over and over, electrocuted, locked in rooms with dangerous animals, all to see how well she’d survive it all. And determine her capability of being merged with [FILE REDACTED.]. She gained abilities from the experiment, manipulating soundwaves is her main go-to…and she can release paralyzing mist from her body among other things. Her rabbit ears and tail are also a byproduct of his. But she wasn’t the only experiment…there were thousands of subjects, and she got to meet them all in due time…

Only to have to later fight them all in a bloody slaughter fest for survival.

The scientist took joy in watching these experiments fight and struggle to survive, and he put them against each other to weed out weaklings from the most capable. Mere children forced to fight to the death for the chance to see another day. Only four of them ended up surviving out of the thousands once present, Hazel included. Hazel was mentally broken, she was so willing to give up…but those children were her friends. She suffered. They suffered…all because one man wanted to play god. So she bided her time, took note of all his habits…and eventually, when he let his guard down for just a second…she took her chance. But he didn’t die right away…he begged. He pleaded with her. He cried for mercy. And Hazel, despite all the other things she felt? She felt good. It was almost euphoric to see someone finally groveling at her feet. To finally be in control for once. After being at people’s mercy for so long, constantly a victim of circumstance and being weak and powerless, now she had the power to decide what happened to someone else, and it was thrilling. So…even after she let the others out of containment, she went on to begin doing heinous things of her own.

It started with common criminals. The worst of the worst. The people who’d commit the worst crimes known to man. She’d make a message out of them and leave the mess for other people to find. She was the closest thing to “justice”…retribution. But over time that darker part started to come back. That desire to see people suffer. It didn’t stop at just criminals. She’d take people, kidnap them, torture them for days on end. Using everything at her disposal. Things they loved, things they valued. Objects. Secrets…family. She loved watching someone break under her heel. It was exhilarating.

Torturing people, making them suffer, manipulating anyone and everyone to get whatever she wants and to watch the despair sink in as they realize it was all part of her plan in the end. It was a euphoric feeling unlike any other. After all…

“There’s only two kinds of people in the world. The ones who are in control…and everyone else. And if you’re not in control? Then you’re not me.” — Hazel.

I don’t mean in a mama bear and baby cub way. I mean more like a….they started sharing the same brain cell over time. They couldn’t have been more different, but now they’re on the same wavelength. Whether that be absolutely goofy or dead serious, or anything else in between

Also…add some bread to your comment. Not because it’s relevant, I just think it’d be funny. You don’t have to, but I’ll think you’re cool if you do. 🍞
