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.

Dragon

Name: GalaxSea
Gender: Female
Size/Shoulder/Length: Medium (broad body) 12' s / 50' l / 100' ws
Colors: body from chin to tail tip and most of feet, behind wing arms grades from buttery yellow to strong orange-rust; face and most of dorsal body, limbs, wing arms and wingsail backs strong orange almost the same color as Tanell's outfit; neck, face, dorsal/chest spines, claws, horns, and limb armor richly black, lighter on feet; undersides of wings stunningly black grading to white at edges with starry white patterns, perhaps indicating some kind of Nightwing in her line; face armor, feet and spine webbing grade from sky blue to green to brilliant yellow; luminescent patches and eyes cyan to sky glowing
Features: fairly normal Seawing, only coloration of black and stars indicate perhaps a Nightwing grand or great-grand parent
Powers: Winged Flight, GalaxSea is actually very strong in the air, her wings are extremely big and strong enough to lift her large body as well as very heavy items from under the ocean waves, and fly while dragging it through the waves themselves. Since she spends most of her time in the water she has time to grow even stronger
Underwater Adapted Flight, using her powerful body to move around is one thing, which she definitely does. But she also uses her wings, tail, and feet to maneuver in amazingly complex ways, able to swim through narrow areas (as long as there's enough width for about an 8 foot wide shipping container, there is definitely enough room for her to pass through it like a snake with wings folded), and root around under rocks or in caverns without bumping them. Her incredibly powerful legs can pry even deeply buried items out, so the extent of their exploration below the Far Harbor waves is quite extensive!
Verbal Speech, Empathy, Sonic Attack, betraying that yes there certainly must be a Nightwing in her line, GalaxSea has a strong emotional attachment to her rider, and while it's not necessarily 'impression-level' she considers her human friend to be as a sister, and all her two-legged friends her family. She speaks English primarily, with little Draconic since she spent much of her youth in the Rookery rather than on her homeworld. Her voice can pierce eardrums if she's very nearby and shouting, so she's careful with it, as it also might damage the cargo and gear they're trying to pull up. But she can use this voice to hunt whole schools of fish, or damage very large Mirelurk Queens at enough distance for others to get away
Bioluminescent Communication, like most of her breed, she is capable of flashing her bioluminescent patches in bright or dim lights, patterns, or sequences which easily communicate at great distance in the darkness below the waves. At specific wavelengths suitable for their eyes, even if a human can't see these lights more than a dozen meters, most Seawings will be able to detect it even in an abyss that normally consumes such light as if it was hungry... Thus actually when above the waves, she is all but a beacon of lights, including her starry wingsails, as they too glimmer like the stars above the waves. She can use her wingsails to camouflage herself, even at her size, from things below - folding her wings in a way that protects much of her body, looking upwards to see 'yet more floating sparkly grit' is nothing out of the ordinary in the Far Harbor area after all

Other Info: GalaxSea is attentive, kind, and loves to listen to the stories that her human friends tell, with equal passion as her rider. Exploration and performing her heavy lifting always reward her with their praise, and while she's not 'needy' in that regard, she is always delighted when they thank her
