Silva_The_Wet

In this world, there are those who have been born with exception abilities often referred to as Gifts. These Gifts can take on many appearances and do many different things, however one thing is always certain. Your Gift is unique to you and, no matter how similar to another it may be, will never be a 100% copy of that Gift. For instance, the Gift of Water Control is not the same as Water Manipulation which is also not the same as Water Creation. It is from these Gifts that many have gone on to lead lives of great importance and repute, sometimes for less than noble reasons. No, this is not a world of heroes and villains, magic or sorcery. This is just a world where certain individuals have special Gifts they can utilize. Now, I may have said that there are no copied Gifts, right? Well, that only applies to the living and those with Gifts. 2 people may in fact possess the same Gift and different points in time, though never the same time. There's also another reason these abilities are known as Gifts. Yes, you may have guessed it based on the name, but Gifts can be given. Mind you, only to someone without a Gift, no person has ever had multiple Gifts before and attempting to give a Gift to someone that already has one will cause an error. Yes, a system error. Why? Well, isn't it obvious? The world is a simulation! Alright fine, I'll be serious. This world, while not a simulation, is artifical. It is digital in part, too. It exists within the physical realm, everything can be touched by those from outside the world. You don't have any special procedures to go through to get in, it's not a game either. It is simply a reality that exists with everything being half digital and half physical. How? No one's figured that out yet, only that whoever gave the Gifts to the people of this world, somehow also made it partially digital. There have been many theories as to why it's was made this way, why the "Makers" as they've come to be called, chose to grant the Gifts or to create this world to begin with. What is know is that the Gifts are useful and the world has it's system all must follow or risk an error being created, Minor errors are easily forgiven and forgotten, though major errors usually result in the System Protection Programme, SPP for short, intervening and, depending on the error or the cause, may even terminate whoever was responsible as a virus. There have been system crashes in the past too, though these left the people without the Gifts temporarily and, until it rebooted, a world that didn't work. Gravity dropped rapidly, the water cycle stopped, people found that those that had Gifts froze entirely, their minds unable to cope with the change. As such, everyone tries to avoid system errors to help prevent crashes and, while hacker do exist, there is a strict order among them never to hack the system, in case it breaks forever. So why, you might ask, have I gone 4 paragraphs without talking about Silva? Well that's simple really. You needed to know some more about her background, her world, the place she exists. So, why don't I tell you about her now then? Silva, like most in her world, has no family name. Instead, she has a title referencing her Gift. This is "Silva The Perpetually Wet And Soggy". Why? Well, her Gift is called Soggy. This Gift, like most water Gifts, allows her to control and manipulate water freely, however this Gift also makes her body perpetually coated in water, never dry and even has her hair shift from hair to water towards the ends. This is why it was called Soggy, because Silva is always drenched from head to toe and dripping everywhere. In other words, she's always soggy. Silva's Gift doesn't just make her body 100% coated in copious amounts of water at all times on the outside either. It's the same inside, her internals being flooded beyond capacity. She literally breathes water as a result of this and any time she opens her mouth or breathes out, water pours out from her. She's taken to never closing her mouth as a result, which both stops her from bloating and from soaking others just by living. As often. She still makes puddles everywhere she goes and her hair flicks it if she turns her head or the winds blows it. She can dive for endless amounts of time without any specialist equipment, and on top of this, I already stated she can control water, yes? Well, her body is an endless supply of the stuff and it's not just water, either. Anything that'd make one considered to be soggy if coated in is at her disposal, it's only water her body produces. Now, there are other water Gifts that allow similar effects, most even have a greater range than Soggy too. Silva can only manipulate water that is within 15 feet of her heart. However, most can't affect people. The Human body is made up of an average 60% water and, as a result, Silva can manipulate the Human body as she wishes. This might make her Gift sound exceptionally powerful, right? Well, remember there's still a 15 feet range limit along with another limi on this part specifically. The target must be at least 45% water to be manipulatable and while the ability is really strong, it doesn't allow her to kill, only control the movement and shape of the body while it's within range and active focus. The victim will end up disoriented yet otherewise whole, intact and, once she stops using Soggy on them, will return back to their original shape before being affected. Yes, this is an eternal life hack. Silva can choose what time she affected someone to mark as their return point so, if she affected someone when they were 20 and again when they were 60, she can revert them to beign 20 years old again, in whatever health condition they were in back then, yet with all their skills and knowledge gained over their life. Makes you wonder, how old is Silva, right? She's always affected so technically she could be as old as Gifts if you think about it. Silva is in the body of an 18 year old girl, though her actual age is 19. Yes, she has chosen to keep herself perpetually 18 years old for the last year and a bit. Why? She just likes being young. This does mean she'll never be able to grow older physically unless she stops manipulating herself in that way for long enough to grow older, but it also means she cannot die. Even a bullet to the brain wont kill her, she'll just revert back to her 18th birthday, which was without a bullet wound. Decapitate her? She'll revert. Digest her? Oh better believe she'll revert endlessly. Speaking of digesting others, there are Gifts that take use of this and, for some reason, the system allows anyone to devour another, so long as they are a part of it's operations, like the people in this world are, not just those with Gifts revolving around doing it. Silva's isn't one that works in any way from eating another person and by law, the act is strictly monitored and restricted to specific establishments where, once inside, anyone may consume anyone else, regardless of consent. Private residences are also places where this is allowed, though consent must be given first and you must be a resident of the home to consume or be consumed whilst there. This law prevents people from just going into people's homes and eating whoever as well as allows punishment to be carried out if someone breaks the rules. Now, I said regardless of consent in the designated establishments, right? Well, public opinion generally leans towards non-con being frowned upon and people will often help out those who have been dragged into these places to be consumed without consent or fear of the law, given they can intervene in time. There are, of course, those who break these laws entirely, though they are few and far between, in theory, to not be a concern. Why is this relevant? Well, Silva finds that using her Gift to drink people is a good way to both get a meal and a drink at once. She'll liquify people and then just float them into her mouth and start drinking. However, she only does this to those she hates or consent and it has been described, by the one person she allowed to return to solid form before digesting them, to be rather surreal to be drank whole, rather than eaten whole. Silva holds no regards to reason if someone consents to being inside her, she'll accept and start drinking the moment they say yes or ask her. Usually the latter. Oh yes, you're probably wonder where all the water she creates goes, right? Well, it's got a 15 foot range to it, after which, if it were create by Silva's Gift, it fades back into the system, ceasing to exist until her body reproduces it. You're also probably wondering how deep she can dive, right? As deep as the oceans go. She can manipulate the water to just not crush her and as she breathes water, she'll never need to come back up. So why doesn't she just become a diver? Well, that job isn't all that well paying in this world... Oh yes, her Gift also has no effect on frozen or evaporated liquid nor does it affect moisture in the atmosphere. Which she has always found strange how it'll affect people, but not water that's just in a different state. Her biggest weakness? Well, other than an electrical current hitting her soaked body and frying her endlessly, would in fact be ice followed by fire. Not that those matter to much to her, she's not a fighter. She's a student. Silva's appearance is that of a youthful school girl in their late teens, albeit with a lot of added water. She stands at around 5'4" on average, though this does occasionally shift by an inch either side. Silva's hair is long and, suiting her namesake, is silver and towards the ends of each strand, becomes transparent due to changing from hair to water. This water is in fact part of her body, just like the rest of her hair and unlike the other water she produces, which isn't part of her. Silva's body is, due to always being soaked in water, actually rather reflective, enough for someone to see their own reflection mirrored on her, though distorted by ripples and the flow of water running over her form. It also partially blocks light, at least, that which comes from Silva anyway. Like anyone with a Gift, she emits a soft glow from every part of herself, though her glow is toned down due to this light blocking effect. Doctors have theorized it's merely being refracted in a different way to usual due to the odd nature of a person being perpetually covered in water, though this is yet to be confirmed. SIlva's face is formed of soft features, including childish chubby cheeks and rippling blue eyes that, like the rest of her, emit a soft glow, this one looking more like light being shone from the bottom of a clear, shallow lake. Her hair is long enough that it reches down to her thighs, though if you were to ake away the water section, it'd only reach to her waist instead. In it she has what appears to be a blue her accessorie that somewhat resembles a butterfly, though in truth, this is also part of her. It was removed once and her body sprouted a heavy leak from where it was, almost flooding her school at the time before she managed to reattach it. Since then, no one has tried to remove it without her retalliating with force. She is a gentle soul at heart, even if she does have some rather... extreme, methods of handling certain situations at times. Thus she didn't want to cause too much harm by flooding a building again. Her attire is that of a stereotypical sailor school girl costume, one she wore during her high school years, the reason being that it make her look cute. The colour scheme is a white t-shirt with the sleeve cuffs being mostly blue with white stripes, along with a blue collar with matching stripes. A blue necktie and skirt are added in and a pair of simple black slipon shoes, each with a single strap, finishes the outfit. The outfit bears no emblem to assign her to the school she attended and, if one were not aquainted with the school's uniform, there'd be no way of telling which she attended. The outfit is never dry, except on occasions she chooses not to wear it for 3 or more days in a row, given how her body is and as a result, it is fairly easy to see through the white fabric, especially when her body glow breaks through her water coating. Under this uniform, she wears bra matching blue and panties set that compliment sher unifrom, the bra held snug against her rather amble bossom. She's been told she should get water resistant clothing that isn't see through, and she has done so, though it's material is uncomfortable and isn't as cute as her uniform, so she often chooses not to wear it. To a touch, Silva's body is softer than anyone elses, the only exceptions being those with Gifts that soften their body in some way. People joke about it being because of how well moisterised she is, though truthfully her body is just naturally soft and pliable in all regards. Even her bones tend to feel softer than they should, even if they aren't any weaker then normal. She also has a relatively small mouth, which is mostly the reason why she opts to drink others over swallowing them solid. Well, technically they are solid, just having their shape made fluid by her, but that's just splitting hairs at this point. She is still capable of consuming solid people, it's just fairly uncomfortable to her, even if highly sensational for those experiencing it. Her soft body pressing into theirs and soaking them, for the time they have without drowning should they still be solid, has been described as "like laying on the worlds softest bed and like spending time in a hot spring at the same time" though she only got this due to class and firend experiments while at school. Which is also how she found out it isn't safe to even experiment like this, for those she does so with will likely drown without a Gift (or other ability) to survive with their head fully submerged. Oh, right, speaking of her being full of water, you're probably still wondering if it affects her speech, right? Well, her body is made to work with her gift, so she's completely unaffected so long as she can let out the excess. And, it has also been found to be rather unsafe to try eating her, too. Unless you've got some way of speeding things along a great deal, breathing water or stopping her from creating much, she'll flood your body and drown you from the inside, whether she wants to or not. That, or simply burst you open from the high pressure building up within. Most people end up either choosing or being forced to vomit her out before this though, so no casualties have yet occured from her being eaten alive. Personality wise, Silva is a little enigmatic. She's kind and compassionate, gentle and sweet, yet also rather heavy handed and extreme in her methods at times too. With her, it's usually a dor or do not situation, never a try or a give up. She applies this to others as well and, unless someone makes a specific request of how their time within her should be, they'll be drowned and digested by her body without any consideration to their wants or feelings. If they manage to make any pleas to be released, they'll fall on death ears, not because she does not care, but because she will not give up nor let any other do so. If they asked her to eat them and added nothing more to the request, then she'll treat them as food and nothing more, as that is all she eats and food doesn't give up on being food, right? At times she may come across as being rather difficult to manage or interact with, though it's relatively easy to get her talking to you, so long as you don't start with any comments or complaints about her Gift. She's heard them all and is rather fed-up with hearing them. Part of the Verily_Verity collection.
