Name: Tanell Gender: Female, she/her, gay Age/DOB: aged to young adult, RY10 Origin: Rookery Earth from Repurposed and Varied donors Current Location: Gulper Island, Far Harbor, Vault Earth Family: all ELLS and then some! Other: Height: 5'8", fairly tall for an ELL Weight: under 120 due to Icarus processing, but definitely all muscle as she's used to swimming and heavy duty work Hair: medium brown, much lighter in color than a lot of ELLs, but thick and straight, kept in a bun but is mid-back in length when down Eyes: bright blue, almond shaped and large, under barely-there brows Appearance: tans well, typically a ruddy shade of skin; a flat, broad nose, and small super-serious pursed lips; she prefers a fully orange Icarus bodysuit, which serves as protection in the chill waters around Far Harbor like a wetsuit, with additional straps for gear attachments, has a custom made 'you can get it wet' portal gun on left wrist; voice is husky and loud, she's used to shouting over storms and from the middle of the bay Icarus Processing: yes, when created down in Rapture she was given both Icarus and Plasmid treatments, and aged after about a 1.5 year period after birth from a surrogate. This process clearly improved all of her physical capabilities strongly, she's durable and can swim for hours on end without resting, and can actually hold her breath for nearly half an hour though shorter with exertion; her body seems to be fine with contaminants or radiation, and she doesn't carry either or any parasites to land when she's been in muck. She's about 2x as strong as a normal person, though this mainly shows in her ability to swim in very rough water consistently, she doesn't just go around lifting motorcycles or heavy equipment. Her senses function equally well under water, even salt or contaminated water, though her Vortal powers accentuate this |

Genetic Abilities: with ELLs she can communicate up to 100 miles with pings, and 25 miles full thought exchange, and with any telepathic person her normal speech range is around 20 miles. She uses this frequently enough with her deep dives and off-shore activities. She can sense and focus her attention to filter out the weird visuals under the water, such as grit or light-bending motion, and can see in the murky conditions below contaminated areas just as well as normal air above. Her sense of touch is strong, and she also can hear with distinction, able to refine what she's hearing in terms of 'that's just a wave, that's a creature burrowing, that's my boat above' easily. Biologically speaking she is a powerhouse of elemental resistance, able to withstand the pressure of deep water along with is bone-numbing chill, and does well with moving in the water itself, has never gotten seasick at all, and has no issues on land with walking along wobbly or narrow surfaces that might be unstable | |
Skills or Profession: Deep Sea retrieval, Tanell is perfectly adapted to life in and on the chill northern oceans around Far Harbor, or even the Aerie and Rapture on the Rookery. Has strong skills in identifying items and objects, animals, conditions, and the overall needs of such ventures, from boat building and maintenance, to diving equipment, navigation, and recovery of goods from deep waters. Fishing and trapping are how she usually spends much of her day, unless someone mentions that they need a piece of metal or a winch only found on those wrecks out in the Bay, and she's right on it! | |
Personality: She'll help local fishermen and those at Far Harbor itself and cruises the entire perimeter of the Island looking for wrecks as well as dangers, and she will not 'ask' the locals if they need help, she'll just do it - she's been told that's how they prefer to work anyway... While she's not exactly gregarious, as she's often found in the water rather than on land, when she is among people she likes hearing as well as telling tall tales of adventure or narrow escapes, and contributes to the economy with her trades of salvaged gear | |
Events or History: created specifically with a number of other ELLs fit for duties well outside the norm for their high-tech environments, Tanell loves the water and the things in it even if they're trying to eat her. She won't hesitate to trap and eat any given mutated lobster or crab, but can tell the difference between ones which are merely animals, and those rarer ones which have intelligence behind their many beady eyes... Enjoys being alone with GalaxSea or a rare fishing crew, and is fiercely protective of the Synth population at Gulper Island where she's mainly centered. | |
