Profile
Aspen Matthews has loved water. She had to live near it, so she could easily sate her urge to swim and dive from a very young age. Her fascination with it led to school for many years of advanced schooling to become a marine biologist. She became such an expert on various aspects of deep water life that the government invited her to be a part of a program to study some very strange discoveries they'd made, deep under the ocean. One torpedo later, her entire life changed forever.

Description
Click to expand.
Aspen Matthews seems like an All-American girl. Tanned and modest in height, she has rich, dark brunette hair that she tends to keep tied back, a few rogue tresses spilling down enough to lay across a high cheekbone. Her cool blue eyes are large and expressive, complimenting her pert nose and full, rosy lips. Her natural beauty shining through, she doesn't tend to wear much make-up and radiates a natural effervescence and vitality.
She tends to dress in casual and comfortable clothing, often with a light-weight cotton button-down shirt tied a bit around the middle to show her midriff in the hot summer. She's got significant muscle tone, her stomach, arms, and legs all attractively firm. She's often got a swimsuit on under her clothes, jeans shucked up over it, and she's barefoot as often as she can get away with it.

Personality
Click to expand.
Aspen's a fairly pleasant and open-minded person, friendly and mingling both athletic and intellectual backgrounds. As a scientist, she's thoughtful and engaged, capable of discussing the latest discoveries and keeping up an intelligent conversation. But she's also a swimmer and something of an athlete and is equally comfortable in that world. She's never been a wallflower and tends to get along easily with people. That said, she's also comfortable alone, often spending time in the depths of the ocean with nothing but the sea life to keep her company and doing just fine for it. She bears scars from her past experiences, but she tries not to show it and does her best to be strong - maybe sometimes she tries too hard.
Abilities
Click to expand.
ENERGY BLASTS
Aspen can manifest a form of biomystic energy as a result of her Black genetics. She can shoot energy blasts from her hands equivalent to howitzers, blasting through steel plate and capable of punching a hole in the hull of a ship or carving into solid stone. Their maximum concussive equivalent is around ten tons.
ENERGY FORM
Due to her Black heritage, Aspen can also take the form of living energy. Like her water form, Aspen's energy form is intangible, allowing physical attacks to pass harmlessly through her. She can pass fully through objects as well and, in this shape, can fly through the air and hover weightlessly.
FLUID CONTROL
Aspen has the ability to utterly command water, even if it's mingled with other fluids or interwoven within solid objects. It will behave and flow to her command, alter its density, and take whatever shape she desires. She can make it lash like a whip or make it solid enough to walk on. She can make the ocean build into massive, destructive waves or tsunamis, capable of wiping out a beach, or she can settle it to be still as glass despite the pull of the tides. Her water control even lets her influence the water flowing in a living body, plant or animal, such as through their blood or tissues, letting her 'tug' on that water in such a way as to cause physical pain or damage, or go so far as to entirely drain it from them, causing the victim to wither to a dried-out husk.
HEALING
By channeling biomystic energy through her body, Aspen can repair physical damage in other living creatures, sealing up even fatal wounds and bringing someone back to full health. She need only maintain touch during the healing process. While she may use this ability to heal herself, it takes her twice as long to meet her own needs, and she may even be required to sleep to recharge enough to continue healing herself, if the damage is extensive enough.
LIMITED TELEPATHY
Aspen possesses the ability to communicate telepathically, but only with those who share her genetic connection to the aquatic species known as the Black, or with aquatic lifeforms, including corals. She could potentially communicate with other sentient aquatic species such as the several breeds of Atlanteans, but it would be on a case-to-case basis.
PHYSIOLOGY
Aspen's base physiology stems from her hybrid heritage and is superior to that of a human in several ways. She has ten times the stamina, reflexes, and strength of an ordinary human. Her lung capacity is more than five times that of an Olympic swimmer (although she has no need to worry about breathing underwater, due to her numerous other abilities). Her bone structure is more flexible than a human's, allowing her to take blunt force impacts of several tons without suffering more than basic tissue damage like bruising.
WATER FORM
Aspen can convert her entire body into pure water, controlling every molecule of her being and retaining her full consciousness. In this form, she is impervious to physical damage from blows or blades, although she could be potentially evaporated or frozen (she'd still be conscious and be able to undo those states, but it would take time). In this form, she often merges to become full bodies of water, taking possession of lakes or portions of the ocean and essentially treating them as extensions of herself, with her senses distributed through them. By liquefying, she can also slip through impossible gaps, escape bonds, and even dive into the lungs of an enemy to incapacitate them.

Skills

COMBAT
Aspen has some experience in martial combat since discovering her heritage and has taken a few self-defense classes. While no warrior yet, she's not a pushover, by any means.
MARINE BIOLOGY
Aspen is a highly trained marine biologist, with multiple degrees in various fields, and an oceanographer. She has a wide understanding of the sea, aquatic life, propulsion in water, and the geography of the world's oceans.
SEAMANSHIP
Aspen is a capable boat pilot and sailor. She can operate both mechanical and sail-driven vessels and can do most of your basic, non-military naval jobs.
SWIMMING & DIVING
Aspen is an experienced deep-sea diver, with scuba and aquatic capabilities. While her powers now make scuba gear unnecessary, she nonetheless has an expertise with them and with the various techniques used to navigate and swim underwater.

HERITAGE
Although often in conflict, Aspen can draw from both the Blue and the Black, a pair of strange aquatic tribes of undersea humanoids. These beings can provide her support, shelter and knowledge in times of trouble. Although they can be hard to find, both count her as an ally and a member in good standing.

Weaknesses
Click to expand.
AQUATIC
While capable of living outside of water, Aspen will be uncomfortable if kept away from it for too long. In addition, her powers require ambient water and do not produce it from nothing - while she can draw water vapor from the air, the amount can be quite limited if humidity is low. In much the same vein, she can draw water from any source around her, but it could damage the balance of things, so she tends not to do that unless it's truly an emergency. She's extremely subject to dehydration and suffers pangs of such much worse than a human would.
CONFLICT
Her dual heritage puts her constantly at war with one another. The Blue and the Black are historical enemies and that instinct bears out in her, giving her a great deal of trouble with instincts and urges she doesn't fully understand. In addition, she can't please both tribes and, though she is generally on good terms with both tribes, it is ever possible to earn the enmity of one if she helps the other.
SOLID FORM
Aspen needs to consciously choose to become her water or energy forms. While tougher than a human in the flesh, she can still take damage and wounds if she's caught off-guard and doesn't have a chance to change. Such injuries will go into stasis if she's in water or energy form, but such a transformation would do no more than stabilize the damage.
TRAUMA
Aspen lost both of her parents. Like most orphans, she bears a certain amount of trauma and psychological damage from the loss and it weighs heavily on her in many ways.
