- [u][b]NAME:[/b][/u] Megan Hopkins
- [u][b]ALIAS:[/b][/u] [s]DOROTHY[/s] Furnace (powered nickname)
- [u][b]AGE:[/b][/u] 26
- [u][b]OCCUPATION:[/b][/u] [s]SHIELD Junior agent[/s] Inhuman in training
- [u][b]MEMBER GROUP:[/b][/u] SHIELD, Inhumans, (Superhuman?)
- [u][b]AFFILIATIONS:[/b][/u] Inhumans, SHIELD
- [u][b]POWERS AND ABILITIES:[/b][/u]
- [b]Heat Manipulation[/b]
- As a result of her transformation, her body temperature runs at a near furnace like level, giving her the ability to channel her inner heat into objects she touches, and given enough training the ability to channel it into blasts of heat, melt/vaporise any object she touches, and possibly even turn herself into a non-solid state for limited periods of time.
- [b]Heat Radiation[/b]
- Without any training or control over her powers, her body runs extremely hot inside causing her to expend a lot of energy simply being conscious let alone being active in any way. Under normal circumstances this can cause discomfort to people around her, when she's under stress this might become dangerous to anyone and anythign surrounding her, as she radiates enough heat to cause radiation burns to anyone that's not properly protected against the heat.
- Given training, and learning to control her power she might become able to control her body temperature, allowing her to keep it lower to preserve energy and ensure safety to people around her, or in other cases increase her temperature if it's needed.
- [b]Self Vaporisation[/b]
- Given enough energy and a high enough core temperature, she is able to heat herself to such a high level that she turns into a gaseous state. She's literally able to turn herself into a vapour, albeit without training this can happen at random and she's unable to control herself in such a state. This can be dangerous to herself as any sort of air current can send her adrift, this state also puts a significant strain on her energy reserves.
- [b]Item Vaporisation[/b]
- Just as she can heat herself up to such a high level that she turns into vapour, she's also able to transfer heat into other objects (or people) to gain the same effect. In the latter case this might end up being lethal if the person is unable to handle the heat transfered into them. Given enough time and heat, she could vapourise anything she comes into contact with.
- [b]Superhuman metabolism[/b]
- Due to her higher body temperature, she burns calories at a superhuman rate, and she's in a constant battle to keep her body fed with calories to not burn out physically and mentally. Without proper sustenance she'll be unable to regulate her body temperature and will eventually pass out from the strain her body is under at all times.
- [b]Superhuman stamina[/b]
- With her body having to control a source of heat that's higher than the power of a furnace, her body has adapted to be able to keep the motor running where others would instantly succumb to the state she is in. But even then her energy levels aren't limitless, and initially it will be hard to control her own state let alone regulate it to any sort of effect. And even if she can control it, she isn't able to run at a high temperature for a long time without succumbing to fatigue.
- [b]Infrared Perception[/b]
- As her body runs on a higher temperature level as nearly everyone around her, she's able to sense differing temperatures with more affinity than an ordinary human being. And as a result she can 'feel' the presence of other people around her even when her eyes are closed. Temperature fluctuations in the air are noticed more easily. These powers do have limits, as thick insulated walls can be the difference between perceiving people, or being just as perceptive as any other human being. On top of that her senses can be overloaded in the presence of extreme temperatures, including heat itself causing her to be blinded by those sources.
- [b]Fire/Heat immunity[/b]
- To a certain degree she is immune to the effects of heat and fire due to her own body being already at a temperature near to or higher than fire and most heat sources. That doesn't mean she's immune to absolute levels of heat and if a fire rages hot enough she can still be hurt by it.

- [font size="3"][b][u]PERSONALITY ASSESSMENT:[/u][/b][/font]
- [u][b]LIKES:[/b][/u]
- - [b]Her Inhuman powers[/b]
- Even though she barely realizes what happens, she knows that she's gotten a rare opportunity to be more than human, to have powers that could help everyone around her and become a more capable operator either with SHIELD or on her own. The powers she has gotten are wild at best, but she's amazed at the thought of what she'll be able to do in due time.
- - [b]Solving complex problems[/b]
- She has a smart mind, and has always enjoyed trying to solve tough puzzles. She likes to challenge herself and she enjoys having to think about certain solutions to fix things. Brute force isn't always the answer after all.
- - [b]Pushing herself[/b]
- For her entire life she has felt like an outcast, and the best way she has coped is by pushing herself to become better as a person. As an astrophysics students she was always studying to become smarter and better, as a junior field agent she has done her best to fight against people's reservations and prove them wrong.
- - [b]Helping people[/b]
- She has known how it is to be helpless, and now she wants to be the person that helps the people in need.
- - [b]Her Brothers and her parents[/b]
- Having lost her best friend in her twin-sister, she knows how fragile life can be. And she's extra grateful to be able to spend time with the people she loves, the people she has grown up around. Even if they don't understand her decisions, they are still her family which she loves very dearly.
- - [b]Watching terrible Mexican soap operas[/b]
- It's a weird hobby of her, but she really loves to watch those terrible Mexican soap operas that air on the weirdest of channels and on the weirdest of times. Be it the cheesy dialogue she only half understands, or the ridiculous sense of melo-drama in every scene. She just enjoys watching it because it cheers her up.
- - [b]Yoga and Meditation[/b]
- She only picked it up in the past year, but it has given her a new outlet to calm her mind and bring her balance and stability in her troubled head. Being able to completely zone out and be detached from the world brings her tranquility she hasn't had in years, and not being able to find a moment to calm herself down every day will turn her prickly.
- - [b]SHIELD[/b]
- SHIELD was there to take her in as a student when she and her sister where smarter than every school and being picked on by it, they nurtured her from a young teen onwards and taught her life lessons and the importance of discipline and being surrounded by people of her own level. They motivated her to push herself in everything she has done, and have always given her safety... Some people might not like SHIELD for their secrets, but she owes her life to the men and women who have given their lives for the safety of everyone including herself. She only wishes to be able to show a small modicum of that dedication back towards SHIELD.
- [b][u]DISLIKES:[/u][/b]
- - [b]Not being in full control of her powers[/b]
- As she comes to grips with the fact that she's not human anymore, she has to realize that her powers are both a blessing and a curse. Whilst she can do many things and help more people than ever, her powers are untested and potentially dangerous to herself and everyone around her... The fact that she doesn't fully realize what she can do disconcerts her.
- - [b]Chitauri and other Aliens[/b]
- After the attacks that left many of her friends and her twin-sister dead. She has become bitter and spiteful towards aliens, even the ones that might have good intentions she is wary of in a fear that they might have ulterior motives that won't be good for humans.
- - [b]Not being able to help people[/b]
- She knows how it feels to feel helpless, and she no longer wants to be helpless and a looker-on when there are people in danger or in need of help. The mere thought of being an onlooker fills her with rage and dispair.
- - [b]Beer[/b]
- She isn't a fan of booze in the first place, but beer has a special place on the list of things she doesn't like at all.
- - [b]Macho behaviour[/b]
- She also doesn't like people who try to act tougher than the rest. She has little patience for people trying to act tough or trying to impress her with macho behaviour. Puffing up your chest won't save anyone when you're truly in danger, and the biggest macho's are the biggest wimps.
- - [b]Putting ordinary people in danger[/b]
- Whatever happens, innocent people need to be protected. That means she won't do dangerous things that might put other people at risk, instead opting to wait or even compromise a mission if it means the safety of others is guaranteed.
- [b][u]STRENGTHS:[/u][/b]
- - [b]Genius level IQ[/b]
- She originally got recruited by SHIELD when she was 16 years old. Much smarter than everyone in her class and in her surroundings, she got into trouble purely out of boredom and feeling like she wasn't understood. SHIELD sent her to the academy of science and helped her to her full potential and kept her motivated. Despite becoming an agent, she's still easily one of the smartest people in the room in the field of Theoretical Astrophysics.
- - [b]Different views[/b]
- She's no ordinary agent, coming from the field of science she has a different outlook on the world and everything around her than the average agent. She might see angles that others might overlook, she might have insights that will help them do their jobs better.
- - [b]Agility, Flexibility, Speed, Reflexes[/b]
- She's never been the strongest, but she has always excelled in gymnastics and trackrunning as a student. When she started training to become a field agent those skills only improved as she had to use those strengths to outwit and outwork the people that were stronger than her. Whilst she's nowhere near superhuman, she's still a handful thanks to her high level of training from SHIELD.
- - [b]Drive and Determination[/b]
- As a astrophysicist student she always had the motivation to learn whatever there was to learn, and she lived to pursue any sort of knowledge. After experiencing death of her twin sister, she has fully motivated herself on becoming a SHIELD field agent, and will do anything to make that goal a reality. She'll show that she can be just as good as the rest, and that she's not just good but the best at what she does.
- - [b]Compassion[/b]
- Some may call it a weakness, but for her it's her biggest strength through everything. She cares about people greatly, and she'll go to any length to ensure the safety of innocent people. She knows how it is to be helpless, and she wants to make sure that nobody ever has to go through such a moment in their lives. Her compassion might cause her to compromise a mission, but for her it's simply a part of her being.
- [b][u]WEAKNESSES:[/u][/b]
- - [b]Physical strength[/b]
- She's never been the strongest, and whilst training to be an agent helped her in that regard she still isn't someone who will punch someone's lights out. She has to rely on her quick wits and her quick feet in a fight more than outslugging them.
- - [b]Compassion[/b]
- Again, she finds it a strength but it's also a severe weakness in the life of a SHIELD agent who might have to do things that aren't as cut and dry as good and evil. And her strong compassion towards protecting the innocent might cause her to run into problems when people with bad intentions start to use that compassion against her.
- - [b]Distancing herself[/b]
- As a field agent she has to do many things that won't see the light of day, some things are neccesary evil in the protection of the innocent. She has a problem distancing herself from that part of the life of an agent, and she'll question commands she's given if she's not completely behind them. And some of her actions might be with her longer than she wishes them to be.
- - [b]Inexperience[/b]
- Being an agent in training she simply doesn't have any of the experiences agents have. And as such she lacks a clear deciciveness under pressure, and might often make mistakes other more agents wouldn't make. But hopefully with training and experience this becomes less of a problem, and maybe even turn into a strength.
- - [b]Personal Trauma[/b]
- Even though she doesn't show it to anyone, she's deeply scarred after her experiences. Her twin sister died, and many of her friends died too on the same day with her closeby not being able to protect them. She often thinks back at that event, feeling and wishing she might have done something different, feeling that if she had done something her friends and sister would still be alive. She blames herself for what happens, despite it not being her fault.
- - [b]Her abilities[/b]
- Having her abilities as they are, they are a great strength for her. But the truth is that she's basically hanging in there mentally and has no idea what she can or can't do, she barely has control of her newfound powers and is as much a danger to herself as she is to others. And with her powers as they are, she's in real danger if she loses her cool and forgets about those limits.
- [b][u]GOALS:[/u][/b]
- - Fully learn to control and master her powers so they can be used for the good of the world.
- - Whilst it's a lofty goal, being a superhero with her new powers would be pretty cool.
- [b][u]FEARS:[/u][/b]
- - She fears that nobody will look at her the same now that she's inhuman, that even her own family in SHIELD will treat her as a threat or even a lab-specimen rather than the person she still is. She's still Megan even with her newfound abilities.
- [b][u]OVERALL PERSONALITY:[/u][/b]
- Before the events that changed her entire life, Megan was a kind hearted and caring individual who always tried to be the life of every party. Friendly to everyone she came across, she was the kindest of souls who pursued the field of astrophycism to help humanity and improve the world in her pursuits of knowledge. She had many friends, she had no problems having fun in every way possible and she was simply the happiest and most optimistic student you could find.
- After the events that left her friends and her twin sister dead, she turned more inwards. She became more introverted and more focused on her own mortality. She realized she had been scared all along, and that the world wasn't a gentle place for a gentle person like her. She became colder, more detached from her life and even stayed away from the presence of other people, as friendly they might be. She became afraid to make connections and get close to people, in the fear that she might lose them too. She became focused and driven, stopping her studies at the science academy and instead choosing to enroll to become a SHIELD field agent instead.
- Her original personality is still there, but it's buried under fear and grief. Afraid of showing her true self and afraid to become the scared girl she was when her friends and sister died. And if there's one thing she won't ever accept, it's people putting her down telling her what she can't be, she won't take no for an answer and when you have pushed her buttons it's hard to get her to back down regardless of who it might be.
- After gaining her new powers, her personality has gone into overdrive in more ways than one. On the one hand she's fearful of her new powers that they might hurt others or herself, on the other hand she's excited by the prospect of what she might be able to do once she learns to control the powers. She's grown bolder through her experiences before her transformation, and she's become more determined in the knowledge that she has powers that ordinary people could only dream of.
- She lives in between fear and excitement, with every step in the growth of her powers giving her more and more confidence.

- [b][u]IMPORTANT RELATIVES:[/u][/b]
- - @Barney, the person that has saved her hide multiple times. Whilst she barely knows his true agenda, she can't look past the fact that the man has looked out for her well-being since the moment they met. And as she tries to live with her new powers, she unconsciously looks to him for guidance.
- [b][u]IMPORTANT PERSON:[/u][/b] Single
- [b][u]OVERALL HISTORY:[/u][/b]
- Megan Hopkins was born in Topeka, Kansas to William and Joanna Hopkins. A few hours after her twin sister Shannon Hopkins was born herself, she was naturally a (non-identical) twin.
- From a young age it was obvious that both she and her sister where smarter than anyone in their vicinity, knowing more than their older brothers and easily being among the highest of their classes. Being so far ahead intelligently they didn't have a place in any of the social groups and in turn the twin sisters became inseperable as the only ones that could keep up where the both of them with each other, they drove each other to become smarter than the other. Also in school they got interested in gymnastics and track and field, the one thing they weren't better than the rest and feeling more ''normal'' in the thought that with sports they weren't part of the ''weird smart kids'', feeling equal to others of their age.
- As school became easier, they also became less motivated due to the lack of challenge in their coursework. Instead of studying they did what they like and often got into trouble for skipping classes and seeking other ways to keep themselves entertained and interested. They became rebellious towards their family and everyone else feeling like nobody really understood them.
- At this time Shannon got noticed by SHIELD, who were interested in having the 16 year old attend the SHIELD academy of science. This would have meant the twins were split up, but after Shannon demanded that either both of them or none of them would attend, SHIELD relented and allowed both twin sisters to attend the academy.
- At the academy they finally were among people on their own level, people all motivated in pursuits of higher learning, all students with high IQ's. Despite being far from their homes in Kansas, they finally felt like they were at home being able to relate to people on their own level, rather than always being the odd ones out.
- Both decided to become majors in astrophysics, using each other's talent to perfectly complement each other. Megan's quick wits where flanked with Shannon's thoughtful thinking. A fierce partnership that made them inseperable both personally and professionally. Their lighthearted attitudes also quickly made them popular among their fellow students, making friends easily and being liked by all.
- In 2013 disaster struck the academy. A scouting party of Chitauri attacked the academy in an attempt to steal technologies and also test the defenses of the science wing of SHIELD. Many students and other SHIELD operatives were slain in the ensuing attack, included in these deaths where a big part of Megan's friends, and most of all Megan's twin-sister Shannon was also left dead. Megan survived the attack, but her life was scarred permanently as a result of it.
- Her family urged her to come back to Kansas and stay away from the dangers of SHIELD and the evil's in the world that were being fought by SHIELD. And for a moment she contemplated leaving SHIELD altogether and returning to her life in Kansas. But the thought of walking away and letting her fears control her turned her angry instead, she felt guilty about what happened, she felt guilty of the deaths of her friends and sister. She felt that she could have done something to protect them, maybe if she had acted instead of cowered her friends and sister would still be living. Her own fearful cowering had caused the deaths of so many students.
- Instead of walking away completely she walked away from her life as a scientist. Despite the reservations of superiors and everyone around her, she applied to train to become an agent of shield instead. She threw away years of studying to become an astrophycisist to instead go right back to the start and now study to become a field agent instead, in the hope that one day she might be the one to save people rather than cower in fear and cause other's to die around her.
- Everyone doubted her, everyone claimed she didn't have the right mental attitude to become a field agent. Despite all those reservations she went ahead anyways, and after two years of training she managed to defy all the odds and doubters to graduate from the academy. She might not be a fully fledged field agent yet, but she was one step closer to becoming one. Now as a junior agent she had to go through the hardest part yet, the basics are behind her and now she needs to prove herself so that she one day might become a true Agent of Shield.
- In the months after becoming a junior agent her life has become a rollercoaster. From sparring with an Asgardian to going into the middle of a combat zone in an attempt to save innocent people, and having to track down a mysterious item that was stolen and of which many people would kill to have it in their possession.
- But the true moment that changed everything in her life was when that said item exploded in a strange mist that caused her to undergo a transformation that would eventually give her superpowers, a transformation that made her Inhuman.
- Now with her world being turned upside down, she has to come to grips with the fact she's physically not the same Megan anymore, that she has powers that many could see as dangerous, and that maybe her allegiances might have to shift to protect herself and others.
- Her real training has begun as she will have to learn to control and master her new powers.
