Nimue's Progression Thread

Nimue Nakahara

QUIRK INFORMATION

Quirk
(Seidhkona)

Type: Transformation
Rank: A-rank
Description: Nimue can invoke spirits that she had met on her journey through life. Those spirits are a part of nature, they have never been human beings on the Earth but they have come from other places and parts of the Earth that Nimue her tribe believes in. There is a maximum of spirits that she can carry thanks to her quirk and the maximum for in her mind are three, she can, however, summon a fourth which is Lindiwe. The spirits all have a different persona and form but are the same in the transformation when it comes to Nimue channelling them. The only thing that changes is the colour of her eyes, which change according to the spirit whose power she is using at that point. Apart from that she channels her power together with a skull of a centaur from the ancient lands within her home country South Africa.

Benefits:

1. Iwayo: her eyes turn into a blue colour and she gets the power of better defending. Her body changes into a structure that is like a tank armour, able to withstand quite some more than her normal body would be able to do. Nimue is still able to move normally because only the top layer of her skins is hardened. It is simply something that does not bother when it comes to how she feels about it, it feels normal to her, only when you touch it, does her skin feel slightly different.

2.Nkosi: her eyes turn into a green colour and the power is only channelled into her hands. Nkosi gives her a warm soft feeling in her hands that form a sort of bacteria that is able to clean out a wound. She has to either touch the person or have touched the person before (in the thread). In case of the latter and she is not standing directly next to the person, she would have to focus with her green eyes on the person and focus on the healing process, imagining cleaning the tissue and healing. With this Nimue can heal smaller wounds in the blink of an eye and the life-threatening wounds take slightly more time (2 posts) and she has the ability to heal bones (4 posts) or even reattach limbs (6 posts).

3.Uphondu: her eyes turn into a red colour and the power is channelled into her hands and feet mostly, but in general, her whole body can take the power. The spirit increases the physical strength/damage allowing her to punch and kick much harder than normal, as well as being able to lift greater weights, such as the four giraffes, which is something she likes. Uphondo makes her change her personality into more that of a warrior and she will be stronger thanks to him. Her body is able to break a tank armour with the power that she is able to channel.

Drawback and Weaknesses: With her fix training Nimue has overcome one of her weaknesses and yet it is still not optimal, she is now able to channel two spirits at the same time, making her eyes two different colours. It, however, takes a lot of stamina to channel two at the same time.
Her usual problems of overusing the quirk can come about 30% faster when she uses two spirits at the same time. Next to nausea and fatigue, Nimue her skin will crack if she goes overboard and uses one of the spirits for too long a time. She creates small wounds like that, these wounds cannot be healed by Nkosi or Lindiwe. Next, to that, there is a possibility that she won't get back at all for the full hundred per cent. That she will be a combination of the spirit and herself or in the end disappear at all. The spirits are in her subconscious but not active until evoked, that can change. Meaning that their personalities (not their powers) are different from Nimue, and can become an active part of her brain and own personality if she uses her quirk too long. She will sort of becoming schizophrenic. She has learned to be able to swap between the spirits quicker after each other but she rather avoids this as it takes quite a plunge from her stamina and energy levels.

COMBAT ABILITIES

Dora Milaje
Rank: D-rank
Effect: With the lessons from G as her teacher, Nimue learned to be better at martial arts and can be considered a starting professional. She learned even to do it herself without the use of Uphondu. Training on a regular base with someone who understand how she thinks and works makes it easier for her to learn, becoming even better and more confident that she does not only need Uphondu.

Stamina
Rank: D-rank
Effect: Intensive training and especially fighting have made her learn to push and gain more time. She also learned with hard training and motivation to quickly switch between her spirits. This takes a lot of energy which is why she would have to continue to even learn more before she would be able to continue. But this improvement is already a very big one!

Hippolyta
Rank: C-rank
Effect: The art of fighting with a spear is taught to Nimue back in South Africa. The training was on a regular basis for her tribe, she picked up the arts again by memory. She expanded this knowledge as she was considered rather good, her memory solid. She would not completely compare her training now with the training back then, also because her spear is more like a staff, as the top of the spear is blunt, to not be able to bring immediate deadly damage to an opponent. Still, it is a spear and her fighting style is made to block and keep a distance between her and the opponent. The weapon is about two meters tall and made from a smart piece of metal with a clicking system. The spear is made in three separated pieces, so she can easily take it along with her, these she can twist and twirl into each other, with a safety part and make sturdy again. This ability works like C-rank Damage (Weapon).

Herb Cleansing
Rank: D-rank
Effect: Nimue's healing with the right sort of herbs with her even have the power to heal the effect of negative ailments. It takes quite some focus and energy and yet she is able to develop further when it comes to healing with Nkosi. At this point, she can use 2-3 different herbs for the different ailments that she needs to be able to start healing. She carries these herbs with her in her medical kit.

She is like the Wind
Rank: E-rank
Effects: With her firm training, her healthy way of living, Nimue has learned to be more agile on her feet. She might not be fast in speed but she is flexible and supple when it comes to her movements like she is dancing. She can make quick movements to jump aside or even flex backwards or forwards as if it is nothing. This is definitely something she has to work on more to become better, but it helps. (Mobility)

Lindiwe - Companion
Rank: D-rank
Effect: Lindiwe is another spirit that Nimue later found however she cannot transform into Lindiwe like she can with Nkosi and the others, she can summon her, meaning that she would concentrate on Lindiwe together with the spirit. To form her as a proper body outside of Nimue's, as a person next to her, this summoning takes a few minutes and she has to learn how to do it on command.

SPECIALIST ABILITIES

Medical Knowledge
Rank: B-rank
Effect: Nimue herself now rather carries the Doctor title than simply nurse, though not offended when someone calls her nurse. She has specialized in making the life of mutations and transformer quirks easier and focused on the improvement of band-aid and bandages. She became more specialized in this with her work experience at U.A. and could be seen as a more general practitioner than a specialist such as a surgeon. However, Nimue never stopped learning in her free time and would be able to perform surgery as long as it is in the field that she is good at, she mostly focuses on blood issues, considering infections and tissue samples and research. Nimue became a doctor because of her healing quirk and even without her quirk, she is able to look after broken bones, burns, fatigue and so on. She is asked for conferences and earned quite a bit of respect within the hospital now that she has been able to develop a starting vaccine for M.A.R.I.N.E. together with other doctors from the Tokyo Hospital, she put quite a lot of time in it but rather not want it to be known that she was part of it.

Biology Knowledge
Rank: E-rank
Effect: Apart from the biology teacher, Nimue really has a heart for nature. She likes to learn what herbs are good for what, the old fashioned way for medicine. In case she is running out of the modern ones, she now carries a little guide that informs her what herbs she could use, she recognizes a few from it. Apart from that she knows thus quite a few she can eat, in case she gets lost in the woods without any food.

LIFE SKILLS

Artistic Touch
Rank: E-rank
Effect: Picking up her art mostly with sketching with simple paper and grey pencils is Nimue's way to pick up art again. Though her love still lays in painting and mostly nature, she cannot bring herself to open the new paint and use the new pencils from her late father. She does need something to calm down and sketching people is now her new focus. She has been working with animals before and the swap to humans has been easier for her and showed that she is even better. At this point, she keeps it to sketches and colour pencil on paper.

Native Tongues
Rank: F-rank
Effect: Nimue is from Cape Town, South Africa where they speak a lot of languages that she learned as well. She speaks English and Xhosa very well, she understands Afrikaans but speaks only a few words from it. She taught herself with help from her teachers and friends at medical school the language of Japanese and learned during her education to read and understands word in Latin.
