Cali

Cali is the central character of the webcomic, ASTROPOL.

Human Form
Cali has straight shoulder-length cyan hair and blue eyes. She stands at 5 feet, 5 inches. She also has a primarily red fish tail identical to that found on her marine form protruding behind her. She initially wears a white t-shirt and black athletic shorts. When she’s not wearing clothes, usually due to transforming back from her marine form, she uses her marinian abilities to “wear” a leotard made of her red scales.

Marine Form
Cali appears to be a colored variety of carp. She's a primarily red fish with white-spotted light blue fins and a partially white tail. She’s a medium-sized fish at 4 feet in length.

Personality
Cali is strong-willed and reckless. As the series progresses, she exhibits confidence and attentiveness and in some sense, egotism. She’s outgoing and is usually the person to initiate conversation and take leadership.

Weapons
Cali typically uses no weapons due to her reliance on her innate abilities.

Abilities
''Cali’s abilities, like all other marinians, depends on their type. In Cali’s case, she is fish. See more: Marinian types''

Regarding Cali's transformative abilities, they are all different applications of every marinian's innate ability to transform any parts of their body into their marine form.

Water Breathing
Like most other marinians, Cali can breathe underwater.

Quick Swimming
Cali can swim through both water and deep space at high speeds. She primarily uses this ability offensively, often by amplifying the strength of her attacks by launching herself through water or gravityless space to pummel her opponents with great force. In other cases, she can simply use this ability to traverse quickly or to run away from hopeless battles.

Full Transformation
Cali can fully transform herself into her marine form at will. She primarily uses this ability defensively, often to not be recognized or to become a smaller target. When traveling through deep space, she prefers her marine form. She can transform back into her human form with just as much ease.

Scale Transformation
Cali can transform her skin into hard red scales at will or by reflex. She primarily uses this ability offensively, commonly in places such as her limbs to make any swing, punch or kick hit with as much force as a metallic bat. In tandem with her ability to swim quickly, any attack would be devastating. Whenever she can, she uses this ability defensively by toughening her skin, minimizing any damage taken from most blunt attacks.

Tail Transformation
Cali always has her tail transformed not because she prefers it, but because she simply doesn’t know how to remove it. In fact, it is a hindrance to her on land. If need be, she can use her tail as another limb to attack with.

Weaknesses

 * Fighting on solid ground (due to Cali's inability to move effectively outside of water and deep space)
 * Defending against sharp-edged or penetrative weapons (Due to her scales only being effective against blunt attacks)

Lore
Cali is a typical astronaut. She sought out to explore deep space because of her ambition and curiosity.

Other Notes

 * Atom, Law, and many other humans typically call Cali "Mermaid" due to her ever-present fish tail.
