Volcano Deity Physiology & description She becomes a physical manifestation or personification of the element lava/magma. As a result, she has limitless control over and immunity to it, she can take on the traits of a living volcano.
strengths
Magma, she can control magma and lava. If she is close enough to the earth she can pull it up and start multiplying it
Heat, she is all but fireproof and can manipulate heat and the tempurature of things around her. She has tried to remove heat from things but it doesnt really work that way
Metal,  if she raises the tempurature engugh she can control it, but not very well. It's more of a loose control, just kinda guides it
Earth, being underground is best because there is always some form of magma around and she can pull it to her

weaknesses
Ice, her body tempurature drops and she cant create heat any more
Water, lava and water does not combine very well. 
Cold
Barren surfaces, if there is nothing to burn she is basically powerless
Heights, being up away from the earth where she can't draw any magma up she is all but powerless again.
Physical weakness, she is not strong and she is slowly getting weaker and weaker as she spends more time at the facility

fighting style 
All range
She can fight people close or far, she is best at closer than further away because she can pull people with her into the heat. She is working on pulling up magma to specific locations, where someone would be standing. She doesnt know much hand to hand combat or anything, she just relys on her powers to fight people. If she came across someone who could actually fight she would be screwed. 

how do you feel about having a power/ability? I dont like it but I have to deal with it. I'm trying to make the best of it but I...I just hate myself now. I feel wrong, I'm not right any more. I'm loosing control of it, I feel like it's what they want too

goals/motivations I dont know, I just want to get through the day, I have no goals anymore. I guess its just survival any more. Long term I guess I'm going to have to find a way to live with this so I want to control it better. 

reasons for joining the program? I didn't, I was forced into it. This is no where near what I wanted with my life, I just wanted to be a fashion designer, marry my boyfriend and maybe get a few dogs but now I'm ed. 
life & trivia

Personality

traits + Loyal, decisive, encouraging, head strong
- Burned out, angry, miserable, untrusting

+ Nari is loyal to a fault, she will do anything possible to not turn her back on someone she cares for or needs help. It’s in her nature to help people so when she can she will. She is good at split second decisions, she relies on her gut feeling for most of her decisions, it hasn’t really led her astray so far so she’s going to keep relying on it. She can be the biggest cheerleader for those who are in her corner. She hates seeing young people not believe in themselves when she had so much support when she was little. She refuses to budge on her beliefs, there is a right and there is a wrong, there is grey in a few things but not very many. She doesn’t like being down for very long, life is too exciting to not experience it all and enjoy it while you can. She likes trying new things and she almost never says no to an adventure.


- Nari is just tired; tired of where she is, tired of being poked and prodded all the time, tired of not having anyone she can trust with her. She hates that she feels so alone, even when she was having a rough time with school she wasn’t alone, there really is no one she can turn to in her currant situation, she is alone. She hates how it is making her feel and how she is reacting to it. Sometimes she feels like she just has to explode and she can move on from it, she is getting more and more angry more and more of the time. She feels like there isn’t much more she can take, she is going to fall apart eventually if she doesn’t get a brake of some sort. She has been fighting with people over stupid things and has tried to hurt the staff a few times as well. She just cant control the anger. She hates where she is, she hates her life and she hates that she has little perspective now, what can she do with her life now except hide away. She sure cant become a fashion designer now, she’s a freak, who would want to live with a freak? She cant trust anyone there, people often throw others under the bus for almost anything. Hell, she’s thrown people under the bus for a leg up. If someone else is being punished then your not the one being punished.

background
+As a young girl Nari had a supportive family, a large apartment and friends around her all the time. She changed what she wanted to do almost every week but her parents were almost always willing to throw their support behind her. She would jump from dancing to karate to photography then to guitar lessons but her parents never told her to settle, they let her creativity flow. It ended up paying off because she started designing and making her own clothes when she was 15, she never could find just what she wanted when she went shopping so she thought to do it herself. She knew from then that that was what she wanted to do with her life and she started looking into colleges to find the perfect place to go to. She only applied to Seoul National University because that was the only place she wanted to go to. Thankfully she was accepted and started right after graduating from high school.

The first semester of college wasn’t the best for her. She didn’t get along with her roommates, her friends were always busy with their own classes and she hadn’t really connected to any of her classmates. She happen to bump into a guy at the library and hit it off, it was purely chance but once they started hanging out her other friends started finding more time to hang out with her. She moved apartments, started designing clothes for guys and things started to look up.
Over the next few years she started dating the guy, they got an apartment together, she was focused in a local magazine for her clothes and she even sold a few designs. Her parents were proud of her and she felt great about herself.
During one exam week Nari was studying late at a café just outside campus. She hadn’t realized how late it was getting, the café was a 24 hour one so she didn’t have to, but she packed up and started home. She didn’t see the hit coming, all she felt was a pain in her head and everything went dark
When she finally came to she was disorientated and couldn’t move. Her arms were tied tightly behind her and her ankles were bound together. There was heavy breathing around her so she knew she wasn’t alone but she couldn’t see anything. She heard voices but they were muffled, almost like they were behind a set of doors or something. The door was opened and the sounds of arguing poured in, something about a price to be paid and if they had enough people.
Nari had been kidnapped buy two men who owed a debtor a large amount of money. The man was looking for people no one would miss, homeless people or girls from the red district. He was angry about Nari, that much was obvious, she was going to be missed but it was too late to do anything about it now.
The van they were in started moving again but she couldn’t tell where they were or where they were going. It seemed to take hours, Nari guessed they back tracked to make sure they weren’t followed so they had to be going to a secret location.
The location they ended up at was a combination of a laboratory and a prison. There were bars on the windows but the doors inside were made of glass with sensors and monitors everywhere. Nari was given a awful jumpsuit, a bracelet with her information on it and a pair of thin slippers. She was freezing most of the time but that was all she had to wear.
Things started off simple, like a very in depth physical. They got vitamins every day, or what they were told were vitamins. They were never in the same group of people for very long, there were some people that Nari got to see once and never again. She had a small room with a bed, a end table and a desk plus two changes of the same set of clothes and she spent most of her time in her room.
One day she woke up with a head ache, a body ache, she felt like she was going to die she was so sick. The staff seemed overly excited about it but she just wanted to stay in bed. They made her do even more tests than before but they seemed rather annoyed with her results. One morning she awoke and her entire room was engulfed in flames. She crawled to the door and pounded on it but the door didn’t open. She ended up curling in a ball, waiting for the flames to burn her, but it didn’t happen. A burning chunk of her blanket floated to her and landed on her but it didn’t burn her. Her clothes burned off but her skin wasn’t even singed. She could feel the heat but it wasn’t bad, just a comforting warm.
Hours later, once all the heat from the ashes died down the door behind her swung open and she was pulled out of her room. She was hooked up to all kinds of monitors, given new clothes and had all kinds of samples taken; blood, hair, tissue and saliva. She was able to take a show, alone with good soap, and the water was actually hot this time.
Her new room was in a different wing and there were two beds in it. Her roommate was a sour guy a few years younger than her who had a thing for water. The two of them didn’t get along and hardly ever spoke to the other while they were in their room, when they did it was fighting. There were a few fights were Nari would burn things or he would try to flood the room. She asked to get a new roommate but it always fell on deaf ears.
For the longest time Nari did everything she could to fight them. She wouldn’t willingly have the tests done, they had to hold her down to get samples and she refused to use her powers at the beginning. She didn’t want to be a gunnie pig, unfortunately for her though they found leverage against her.
There was a staff member who had the power over frigid temperatures and once he found out how much it hurt Nari he would often seek her out to use it on her. If she spoke out of turn he would turn her skin blue or freeze the liquid in her lungs. If there was a fight and she was near by he would freeze her limbs to the point that she thought they were going to fall off. She had to go to the medical wing more than once for frost burn or hypothermia but he just loved doing it. He was her personal torture device so they used him to keep her in line and on track with their goals. Eventually she stopped fighting just so he would stop hurting her.
She started getting good with her powers, she was able to melt almost any metal and control most of the fires in the building. She has had to put out a few from the others so she gets plenty of opportunities to practice. Once she was able to pull magma from the ground, but she was in the sub basement and by the time it reached her it had cooled, but she still was able to do it.
One afternoon Nari wasn’t able to go back to her room. She spent the night in the medical wing before being reassigned a new partner. When she went to her new room she wasn’t expecting to recognize them, but she did. She felt like her entire body was frozen when she saw her boyfriend of three years sitting on a bed, staring at his hands. She couldn’t speak as the door slammed shut behind her and she couldn’t move as he looked up at her. When he went to touch her she pulled away, angry and ashamed about what she was now but he spent a long time explaining how he has been looking for her all this time and what he went though to get to her.
They rearranged their room, pushing the beds together and moving everything else out of the way. They spent that night together in what seemed like forever. It was the first time Nari felt any kind of hope, she actually had a glimmer of happiness when she woke up and saw Chunho. She felt like, no matter what happened now, he was with her so they could make it.

Hi there Krissy! Thank you again for being my first applier and for taking the time to revise your app. I appreciate your effort so much. Let me go ahead and get right to your review.

Let's start with your 'ability/power' section. I love the idea of Nari being the literal manifestation/personification of lava/magma. Like damn, that's crazy powerful but also has realistic limitations to create a good balance of pros and cons. Yes, in theory, it sounds like it would be an OP ability. I mean, your entire body pretty much turns to magma, right? But if you think about it realistically, there are just as many cons to having a lava body, lol. So I don't think it's too overpowered. However, I do have questions, if you don't mind! I'm assuming that her physiology turns to magma when her powers are activated? Is that right, or does she just control magma? Assuming that she IS and CAN CONTROL magma, you said that being closer to earth terrain or even underground is a huge advantage for her power because lava seems to flourish in this kind of environment. I think that's a brilliant train of thought. Lava does eat up the earth very quickly, so that would be a huge advantage for her. She would also more than likely be able to melt metal. What I'm wondering is just how this power of hers works exactly. Does she have to be in an environment where there is something to/can be burned? Does that mean that she generates the magma/heat to objects, or is her whole body just magma? I guess what I'm really trying to ask is: does she create her own lava, or does she have to have a source already? Like, does there need to be lava nearby or just scorching environments that she can draw from the heat?

I really love that you emphasized that she isn't trained at hand-to-hand combat, so that's a weakness for her when fighting someone who knows HOW to fight. I don't think enough people think about the importance of knowing just what you're doing versus moving recklessly and hoping to win. If someone does know techniques, then they're most likely to win, though Nari has an advantage with her magma. If she could keep people away from her body, then she would have a higher chance of winning. I also really enjoyed reading Nari's responses to the interview questions in her own POV. Poor baby!! She's trying to make the best of it, but she doesn't feel like herself very much anymore... Awww, I'm getting in my feels over this xD I also found it very interesting that she has literally no goals except for surviving at this point. I don't think I've ever seen anyone who doesn't have some sort of motivation beyond staying alive, but Nari is the exception, and this is such a human way of thinking. I liked the new angle. The realism here is terrific. Nari had all of these plans for marrying her boyfriend, becoming a fashion designer, and so on, and yet she's just coming to terms with the harsh reality that's probably not going to happen. Bless her poor heart. I REALLY need to cuddle Nari!! :ccc It honestly breaks my heart a little to see what kind of person she was before the program and all the changes she went through. I mean, it really affected her mental state more than she lets on, and now she's paranoid that her slow loss of control is planned.

Life & trivia all look great! I loved the added touch of what she specifically 'dislikes now' versus what she used to dislike. I appreciate that so much! I think anyone who knows me is aware of my pension for realism and the not-so-perfect existence, and you really went the extra mile for me with all of these thoughtful little details of her current situation. Adding in details like 'she doesn't just open her eyes when she first wakes up...she's been wearing the same pair of earrings for 18 months' things like this make a character so much more profound and add that level of dimension that every author looks for in an app. I really can't thank you enough for this. Yes, the tidbits of facts and trivia might seem insignificant to some, but to me, they are EVERYTHING, and I actually look for them. Nothing tells me more of how well you truly know your oc and their situation when you include small details like this—wonderfully done!


Your basics look great, I don't see any issue. I also love the nickname of 'chuga' based on the Korean volcano. That was an excellent addition! Lmao, of course, hot-head is what the staff call her hahaha. I was a massive fan of Nari's FC back in the Pristin days as Rena, so YAS QUEEN I'M SO HYPED TO SEE HER HERE!!!! (Excuse me for being bitter towards what happened with Pristin's disbandment..) I am LIVING for your background section and even the love interest section. The amount of description here took me on a crazy ride, and I loved every bit of it. Don't change a thing! (and ooh is her love interest another app??) You truly captured the essence of the fic by including even Nari's abduction. It was terrifying and traumatic and left me stunned. I appreciate that you didn't shy away from anything. I could really imagine everything Nari was going through like we were all experiencing it with her, and I liked it. You did such an excellent job!!

Onto Nari's personality section, I love your chosen traits. Nari, to me, seems like an ideal hero. She is loyal to the point she would never turn her back on someone in need or that she cares for. Regardless of if she thinks so or not, she has quite a lot of empathy that she might've had before her experiences at the facility but has only grown after all of her suffering. Her split-second decision-making and overall decisiveness are very refreshing and will really be helpful in this type of setting. I also love how encouraging Nari is towards others. She hates seeing people look and feel defeated, and she tries her very best to ensure everyone's confidence in themselves. Her stubbornness is as adorable as it is annoying lmao.
I love that she's this way, though, that she holds onto her gut feeling and has a hard time being swayed. It takes a tough person to stick to their guns and not compromise her own morals. My issue is that 'stubborn' is not really a positive trait, so if you could change that to her negative section and add something else to her positive traits, then I'd appreciate it. You mention that she doesn't like staying down and has more of an adventurous side, whereas she enjoys trying new things. Maybe elaborate a bit more on this and add it to her positive traits - Like adventurous, daring, bold, audacious? You can have more than just four negative and four positive traits. Your personality section is a little short compared to what I usually accept, but I think you explained everything well, so if you don't want to expand on it, then you don't have to. However, I do have some concerns about her negative traits. I completely understand that she's tired of everything and hates where she is. But would you consider changing 'tired' to something else? That's not typically a personality trait, more like a feeling we experience than an actual characterist. Her negative traits are mainly just what emotions she's feeling right now in the facility rather than traits (except for distrusting, that can stay or easily angered/short-tempered?). So if you could revise those and choose personality traits, I would be more than happy to accept Nari. Yes, she's angry, miserable, and tired of the facility, but what are traits as a person?


I'm so sorry for all of my questions and the concerns with the personality section. I'm sure this review was a trip to read, and I hope I didn't come off as hostile or anything. I really enjoyed reading Nari's app. She's a lovely character, and If you could just edit the personality section, then I would be elated to accept her! Thank you again for sending her in. Nari is so lovely and really screams heroine queen. She's realistic and relatable, and I think we can all appreciate that. I already have so many ideas for scenes with her lol. Please let me know if you have any questions or need assistance. I'm always here! Thanks again :3
