JANNA OTESANIK
NAME: Janna Otesanik
CODE NAME: Reflux
ALIGNMENT: Student
AGE: 15
GENDER: Female
QUIRK NAME: GASTROMATICS
QUIRK CLASSIFICATION: MUTANT
QUIRK DESCRIPTION: Janna's gastrointestinal tract is actually a complex array of chambered stomachs. These act as a system of chemical furnaces, capable of digesting most substances. By ingesting certain foods and chemicals, Janna can form their digested components into a miracle substance she calls Spew. She has control over each of her stomachs insofar as what they take in and when they "eject", but cannot force them to make a specific kind of Spew without providing the proper materials. To date, Janna has figured out the formula to cultivate six kinds of Spew.
Janna is naturally immune to the effects of Spew on her innards. This includes her mouth, lips, teeth, tongue, sinuses, esophagus, stomachs, lungs, and intestines. Notably, no other part of her body is Spew-immune. A drop of Acid Spew on her hand burns her as badly as it does anyone else.
QUIRK POWER LIMIT: Janna can only produce so much Spew before even her factory of a tract becomes overloaded. Producing more than a gallon total of Spew per day overtaxes her body, causing crippling chest pain and dehydration.

- Capsaicin: A powerful irritant that causes extreme pain, feelings of heat, and even mild chemical burns. Formed from spicy foods and, of course, pepper spray.
- Grease: A meaty-smelling lubricant, very slippery and very flammable. Formed from foods with high fat content, and most cooking oils.
- Alcohol: High-purity ethanol concentrated to antiseptic levels. Not safe for human consumption. Formed from sweet fruits & vegetables, and (obviously) alcohol.
- Epoxy: Liquid resin that solidifes when exposed to air. Extremely sticky and, in large amounts, can immobilize sensitive moving parts or even people. Formed from fibrous substances, such as grains, legumes, root vegetables, and cloth.
- Acid: Strong sulfuric acid partly diluted in gastric juices. Causes grievous chemical burns and corrodes most reactive metals. Formed from acidic substances.
- The Stuff: A hideously-virulent colony of various bacteria, viruses, and toxic byproducts. Formed from moldy substances and probiotics.

QUIRK POWER LIMIT: Janna can only produce so much Spew before even her factory of a tract becomes overloaded. Producing more than a gallon total of Spew per day overtaxes her body, causing crippling chest pain and dehydration.
QUIRK TECHNICAL LIMIT: Janna has no adaptations for emitting Spew other than what every human can do-- actually using it in combat unassisted would require targets to literally get within spitting distance. She instead relies on preparing Spew-filled projectiles before battle, to throw and break on targets. In addition, Janna can only adapt her stomachs towards producing one kind of Spew at a time. If she needs to use a different kind of Spew, she needs to find the appropriate substance, consume it, and extract it from herself.
QUIRK BARRIER (Students ONLY): Vomiting large amounts of hazardous chemicals several times a day is close to the worst possible thing someone can do to themselves, and Janna naturally has her hangups about it. Coughing up Spew in stressful situations is difficult, and is effectively impossible when attempted mid-combat. In addition, Janna's understanding of her stomachs' response to substances is still limited; experimentation with new exotic substances, and different combinations of substances, may end up creating amazing new brands of Spew.
QUIRK FACTOR:

Finesse 2
Stamina 1
SUPER MOVE: ERUPTION
In one violent, nauseating motion, Janna ejects the contents of all her stomachs at once. The sheer volatility of the mass of Spew rushing through her causes a massive exothermic reaction, fusing the lot of it into a burning, fast-moving missile. Anything struck by this battery of effluvium is left floored and coated from head to toe in every ounce of however much Spew Janna has in her. The vacuum caused by the backblast of this event will often end up nearly suffocating Janna, and severely battering her insides.

COSTUME: Janna's costume is built to protect against hazardous materials, and does that very well.
She wears sturdy rubber gloves and sleeves, treated with a hydrophobic film to make dangerous chemicals slide right off. Her torso is less protected, taking the form of a reflective vest lined with small pockets, for keeping her many Spew-laden projectiles. Rounding out her outfit are thick cotton pants, boots, and safety glasses.
Her outfit is colored vibrantly. The vest is a dark forest-green, contrasting a white cotton undershirt and gold-colored gloves and sleeves. Her pants are a woodsy brown, going with fawn-colored boots. Most of her projectiles are fragile glass vials of about six ounces' worth of Spew, though she also carries thin plastic packets that can carry three ounces. To assist with extracting Spew, Janna's costume comes with a gastric feeding tube and miniature electric fluid siphon pump. It is painful to use and traumatizing to see in use.

FLAW: As a result of her Quirk throwing her metabolism into havoc, Janna suffers from chronic malnutrition and mild anorexia. She is physically weaker than most other girls her age, and gets fatigued quickly.
APPEARANCE: Janna is noticeably half-Nordic, standing just over six feet tall. Her hair is a mundane raven black, normally tied up in a ponytail for sanitary reasons.
BACKGROUND: Janna is the result of a partnership between an American soldier and a Japanese native, born in Okinawa. Her father, Otik Otesanik, was a first-generation Czech immigrant with the fairly useful Quirk of having exceptionally powerful stomach acid-- a veritable modern Matter-Eater Lad. Her mother, Ari Tanaka, worked at a bar near Otik's station; as the third generation of a family with oddly bovine Quirks, she had developed seven stomachs (as well as a pair of barely-noticeable horns). Thanks to the Punnett Square nightmare of Quirk intermixing, Janna was born with an unholy combination of the two.
As she grew up, Janna struggled with bulimia. Her developing gastrointestinal system had yet to acclimate itself to the rest of her body, and she regularly forced herself to vomit in an attempt to cure the crippling heartburn and nausea that resulted from it. As she graduated from puberty, her stomachs had settled into the powerful adaptiveness that she bears now, and she began unenthusiastically experimenting with how they worked. Many weeks--and trips to the hospital-- later, Janna had cultivated the Spew compounds she uses today. Seeing an opportunity as a support hero, Janna signed up to UA. Though barely capable at the practical test, rigorous studying led her to ace the written test.
