Name: Viva Real name: Vivian Laine Age: 25 Height/weight: 5'6" (1.68 m), 125 lb. (57 kg) Powers: Cartoon Physics. Invulnerable, extremely flexible/plastic Likes: Classical music, machinery, sex, Italian food, reading, puppies Dislikes: Loud or mean people, arguments, tofu Viva (she really doesn't much like her given name -- too old-fashioned-sounding) started discovering her power about 10 years ago. She can be formed into any shape, stretched, compressed, flattened, etc., but she has only a very limited ability to change herself. She can retain her modified form with little effort, and can quickly return to her regular human shape, though it requires some concentration. She's not affected by heat or cold, and has no other super powers that she knows of. Viva is good-natured and generous, and physically brave, an advantage as a would-be superheroine. Since she is neither naturally strong nor aggressive, she works with superhero teams as a sort of multi-purpose tool whose form can be created and used as needed. She also serves as a strategic distraction, allowing herself to be captured by villains who like to test her limits of malleability and see how she can be changed. She’ll tease & taunt them to do more to her, to buy time for her teammates. Viva is somewhat frustrated by not being able to change herself into things or to stretch herself much except with great effort. So she makes machines that will turn her into various things. She's a skillful machinist and inventor (her "day job"). To prepare herself for whatever a badguy might do to her, and to learn what her body can take, she engages in experiments to stretch and modify herself. She's come to enjoy the challenge, and though she doesn't often admit it, sometimes finds the actual process quite pleasurable. At home, Viva likes cooking, playing with her dog Oz, and listening to her "classic" vacuum tube-type hi fi (inherited from her dad). She has a little bit of a theatrical streak, and is interested in cosplay. Her taste in clothes tends toward the comfortable (though always with a sexy touch). She thought her 'super' costume was a little skimpy at first, but its ability to (almost) always keep her covered no matter what her shape has won her over.
