INTRODUCING CHAILAI ‘EVER’ SURAMONGKOL, OUR NEWEST STUDENT WITH THE POWER OF NECROBOTANY
WELCOME TO GUMI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL FOR THE POWERED.
WHO ARE THEY?
PERSONALITY
(+) studious, conscientious, gentle (–) aloof, insecure, uncontrollable (when upset enough, makes her powers go w h a c k)
BACKGROUND
was born in samut prakan, thailand – she grew up there with her parents and an older brother who was 8 years older than her.
her and her family had moved to mujidori village, south korea when she was 5 after her father had gotten into some trouble with loan sharks back in thailand, causing them to have to flee to the remote village in korea.
she ends up helping around with farmwork – harvesting/fishing/candlemaking and the such while learning the language slowly
the next decade goes by without incident as she grows up – that is, until she turns 15 and there’s a raid on her village by militia passing by.
during the raid, her mother hides her in the cellar as the raiders come through to their house, killing her brother and father. the guards end up raping her mother before killing her too.
they eventually find her in the cellar and drag her down, and they attempt to the do the same to her. however, that’s when her powers manifest with the trigger of danger and she ends up killing all the soldiers
after that, she ends up killing the rest of the raiders in her village, but after that there aren’t many people left.
the remaining people end up moving to the village over, where she was adopted into one of their households, continuing her work on another farm.
when she turned 17, she applied for gumi despite knowing of her underqualification with having no schooling other than some basic teaching in the village school
however, with the monsters! program, she was able to get in and has been studying there since. she takes her studying extremely seriously since she never thought she’d get the opportunity to do post-secondary at all – while trying to harness her powers and not lose control like she did during the village raid.
WHAT CAN THEY DO?
DEFINITION
necrobotany; being able to control/manipulate the dead using nature/plants! skeletons can move using plant fibers as muscles/flesh to be reanimated, can also have /additions/ to corpses such as vines/thorns/poisons, can make bodies bulkier using plant material! she is unable to actually bring the dead back to life, merely reanimate them to move/be controlled to her bidding. she probably also would have some sense of where bodies are buried under grounds and have some general control over plants too!
WEAKNESSES
weakness 1: certain /effects/ are kind of weak, so for example her control on vines would be strong but she’s weak in poison attacks, moreso just doing a weak stun
weakness 2: she can only control 5-6 corpses at once (depending on their activity, if they’re just standing there then maybe 7 or 8). the more corpses she controls, the weaker each one is in terms of defense/attack
time limit to use: probably depending on what she’s reanimating them to do, likely somewhere between 15 minutes for strenuous fighting to maybe around an hour or so if they’re just standing
physical flaw/weakness: she can’t manipulate/control well in cold/barren landscapes, if at all depending on the severity of it
range: she probably has about 15-20ft radius on controlling her power!
DID YOU KNOW?
she used to have a pet bullfrog called peppa !
