Jun Hisakawa (Dropped)

Powered by the dragon's Pearl (which is actually in his throat), the metallic sword-handle of this weapon emits a blade of pure energy. However, it behaves as if it were a normal sword blade; it does not burn upon contact with skin or items. It is a double-edged sword, and as such can cut with either edge, stab with the point, or slap with the flat. The sword also counts as "holy" where such things count.

Water is the main element over which the type of dragon Jun was empowered by has control over. Jun can draw water out of the air, from bodies of water, or from his own body, to create blasts, beams, and balls of water for offense. He can also force a tide to rise higher, controlling an amount of water roughly the size of a large swimming pool to create waves large enough to cause damage. He has to be careful using water from his own body, however, as he can cause himself serious dehydration. It's notable that "water" does not function the same as "ice" in this context; in fact Jun heats up the water he uses to attack with, for blunt or cutting force as well as scalding damage.

"Life" is another common attribute of the Asian dragon, and it's not overlooked here. Jun has the ability to heal and purify the ailments of others using the water in their body to spread his magic. He can't do this in battle, since it requires concentration, and it's unlikely he'll be given long enough to concentrate during a fight. And he can only heal biological things this way -- cyborgs and sapient robots/machines are out of luck. This can regenerate limbs or close large wounds, but the former takes several minutes. Additionally, the victim to be healed must still be alive. Once they're dead Jun can't even repair their body.

The ability that is developed the least, admittedly. Mainly this is for clouding things up if Jun needs to obscure vision for some reason. He can easily whip up a large bank of fog and mist, obscuring an area to normal sight. He can also whip up small storms with unpredictable lightning -- he has no control over the lightning, and can't actually "aim" it, but with a lot of lightning it's much more likely that opponents will get hit. Unfortunately it's equally likely for the lightning to hit an ally...

Jun can lift himself and one other person with telekinesis, but only if that person is holding onto him, or he is carrying that person. His maneuverability is good, his speed is about that of a modern automobile. He cannot outfly planes, and he has no ability to go into space unaided -- he'll still die, and he can't reach escape velocity anyway.

Occurring mostly in times of great stress or injury (or when his ara-mitama grows too much), Jun can transform his body into a twelve-foot Asian dragon. This dragon has all of his abilities, but he is unable to control it. This dragon is a great deal stronger than Jun, as well. Upon being rendered unconscious, or when the dragon calms down, it will change back into Jun, and he will have no memory of what occurred in this form. Whatever injuries the dragon sustained will be present on Jun's body as well (though proportionally adjusted for the size differential), since Jun IS the dragon.

Definitely a minor thing, but perhaps worthy of note: Jun has always had an interest in baking, from typical white breads to the most exotic baked sweets. Jun likes the challenge of figuring out how to make these things, how to adapt them to current tastes. And he always likes making people happy with a little sweet treat. Besides, getting to eat the sweet fruits of his labor -- and the still-edible oopsies -- is a definite up-side!

The magical world where he's from is kind of an "underworld" of sorts, hidden from the average human. Having been exactly that -- an average human -- right up until very recently, and also lacking one of the small magical familiars that a great many Maho have, Jun has no idea how to navigate this magical world. Adding to that, the existence of other worlds adds even more dangerous super-powered, supernatural things that he doesn't understand or know how to deal with. He has no basis for learning the different cultures of the World Tree, no one to educate him about the various worlds' histories and the history of them joining the tree, and -- possibly the most dangerous thing -- no one to tell him who he should stay away from. Adding to that, certain expectations of heroes are missing from Jun -- he doesn't bravely charge down the enemy to save the oppressed; often he doesn't even know he's facing a "bad guy" until he himself is in trouble! He has little practice in using his abilities, and often has to guess how to use them to their greatest efficiency as he has no one to teach him. This is to say nothing of the shock -- and likely HORROR! -- that learning he's changed into a dragon (and likely HURT PEOPLE) before he was stopped will likely evoke in him. Jun faces not only his own world's magical underworld alone and uneducated, but he faces all of the World Tree -- and the mysteries of his new powers -- in this state.

In dry environments like deserts, Jun's "ammunition" for his Water Control Perk is limited, and he often has to use the water in his own body for any offensive use of this Perk. This can be dangerous if he uses it too much, since it can lead to severe dehydration. Dehydration is one of the things that can kill him faster than normal.

While he is quite tough thanks to his magic, Jun's magic and magical toughness fail against abalone and mother-of-pearl. To be clear, this doesn't mean that a pearl-handled pistol will act as a "silver bullet" and immediately kill him. A weapon with a handle made of these things is no more dangerous to him than a weapon without this. However, a dagger made of these materials, or a bullet of these materials (if one can figure out a way for it not to disintegrate on firing) would instantly defeat his magic and cause damage to him, regardless of how much defense he has. It would not instantly kill him, however, unless it was aimed at a fatal point on his body (heart, brain, etc.).

All of Jun's power is tied to the Pearl, a small round abnormality located on the front of his hyoid bone (the U-shaped bone above the larynx). A well-placed dispel, drain, or nullification blast can interrupt his powers briefly, or as long as the user concentrates on holding the dispel/drain/nullification there. This makes him drop any water he is controlling, dispels any weather effects he's causing, stops any healing he might be trying to perform, will cause him to fall out of the sky if flying (but this will also take him out of range of the dispel), and turn off his sword. On the bright side, this can also pull him out of his dragon transformation with a minimum of fuss and effort.

"Mitama" refers to either the soul of a desceased person or the spirit of a god or spirit ("kami"). Kami tend to have four mitama aspects; among these the ara-mitama, the wild and uncontrolled aspect of a kami. When Jun's soul joined with the power of the dragon who gave him his power, it gained these four aspects as well. As he experiences negative emotions -- frustration, anger, sadness, etc. -- these make the strength of his ara-mitama grow. Once it reaches a breaking point, the violent aspect of the dragon will be unleashed and must be pacified (either with pacification rites or by beating it down). This isn't something that can just happen once and never again, but will be a continuing threat as long as Jun holds the dragon's power.
