[OOC] Intro
Venus Versus Virus is a manga about two girls who hunt ghosts known as "Viruses." Sumire Takahana is one of those girls, and before her run-in with a Virus, she was a perfectly normal girl. To hunt these Viruses, Sumire and her partner Lucia Nahashi use special bullets laced with a vaccine that destroys the Viruses. To most humans, the vaccine is harmless, but when Sumire comes into contact with it, it causes her to into a Berserker mode, which gives her enhanced strength and speed as well as the ability to control natural elements such as fire, water, wind, and earth. Once Sumire gains some control over her newfound powers, Lucia's guardian, Souichirou Nahashi, invents for her a bracelet that allows her to inject herself with the vaccine whenever needed. While in Berserker mode, Sumire becomes like a human anti-Virus, but it is difficult for her to control, and when she does lose control, her pupils become cross-shaped (like a Virus's) and she goes into a violent frenzy (and usually targets Lucia for some reason).
So what does this mean for the game? Not much, really. I don't expect Sumire to be using her powers that much, and even if she does, only prolonged use will cause her to lose control. Obviously, if the opportunity comes up, that might be fun to play out, but I won't have Sumire lose control in the middle of something without the consent of the other player(s).
Now, the human thing. In canon, the ability to see Viruses is called "Vision," and that ability is granted by something called a "Fragment" inside a person, and Viruses, having lost their Fragments, target those with Vision to regain what they've lost. Of course, Sumire has a Fragment inside her as well, but it's implied that hers is different somehow thanks to her Berserker ability. (Hopefully this is clarified in later volumes.) Now, Sumire is human, but there is something inside her that sets her apart from others. If your character can sense that sort of thing, feel free to do so, but be aware that if you bring it up, Sumire might either deny it or talk her way around it.
