Color and Texture Shifting - like her brother her skin has tinytiny dots of tan over the wine-red which can cover or become patterned, or textured to look like raised bumps (though on her they're a little less noticeable as light on dark), this is purely cosmetic but may grow into something else in subsequent generations

Strong and Added Senses - Antennae allow for sensitive detection of all kinds of sounds and scents, Large Eyes give her vision interesting new colors but are also overly sensitive and she has issues with bright lights

Strong Particulate Control and Sense - via pollen and bugs, she can detect a volume of 'dusty' particles anything from a few shed plant cells and molecular-scent pieces, to fly-sized creatures, her particles are quite small as she can tell the difference between pollen spores and gnats just by the fact that one's making noise... Can clump up whatever is around in that cloud, separate out the bugs from the spores, move them nearby, or even use those spores to smother invasive bugs (or cause massive allergy attacks in unruly guests). This power works best at under 50 meters, but she can force her sense (only) to detect more distant particles, so she can work on chunks of the garden with her hands while her power is seeking out the next plot

Local Air Control - she can use this to aid her flight, as well as boost her quiet voice, mostly keeps it 'on' while working on specific plant projects to make sure that there are no cross contaminants in the air

Plant Control - from roots and tubers, spores and mushrooms, to flowering vines and even massive trees, her powers can sense them (up to 200 meters away in detail), cause them to 'move' or 'do whatever it is they normally do' with proximity around 20 meters, and with close range can alter their properties even permanently. The farther away from the plant's normal use or ability, the longer and more difficult session this will be, so she plots out what she'll want out of a project first, breed toward it somewhat quickly (since she can accellerate the growth process considerably with this power too) and can tell what will work versus what fails, very rapidly. Her plants have been featured in many local clubs, not just her own, and she can program them to bloom with proximity or sounds, very cool to have in a nightclub (mom, wait for the giant bean pod to detect the violin, it'll open and you can start your routine!)

Pheromone Control and Emulation - she can exert specific control over local bugs even wresting control over them from stronger specific psionics if they're not right next to her, using this power. Gornah exerts a delightfully enticing scent when she wants to make a contract work, she's got absolutely no shame in nudging people away from secret areas, and has even repulsed randy gropers in the club with some particularly nasty smells. Mostly she likes keeping to the pleasant side, but never let it be said that she can't just swipe it away, her repetoir of smells is staggering. She herself produces them, but can elicit the same smell in the plants around her, or emulate them as needed to blend in seamlessly

Exudes Scent - at all times, she does have a reasonably powerful smell, but it's hardly ever the same twice, and if someone were to try tracking her using it they would quickly be stymied since she can consciously control this effect, also she can mitigate it if needed by just moving other particles to mask it! Not that detectives need to be coming around, she's done nothing wrong... promise...
- allergen producer, though not unpleasantly so, her scent can trigger allergies in those sensitive to pollens, dust, or specific smells (all of which she could emulate...)

Dragonfly Mutation Suite - Like her brother, her Yilden Family connections are all highly insect spliced and geared toward specific needs of horticulture and pest control. This is a Major group with Special large flighted wings
- armored skin, softly leathery skin with a bit of padding under it allows for 4 points of damage resistance to cutting and impaling (usually more than enough to prevent both thorns piercing or bug bites), but also 8 points versus elemental cold or water damage, and takes no negative modifiers for working in cold or wet enviornments. No, she won't wear clothes, she's not cold... (though she does often 'put on' a bikini... in the form of her pigment control)
- long slender balancing tail, like a dragonfly she is able to use this tail to maneuver in remarkably quick motion and is able to land on the tops of roofs as well as reed beds in water parks, without sinking even if she's got a much higher Body Type than most
- extra arms, like her brother she has a full hand arrangement rather than pincers or clawed fingers, so her two extra arms give her a boost to manual dexterity and Body Type
- full flighted insect wings, she's a speedy flier, long and elegant in the air and hardly ever at rest; unlike her brother hers can lift her with ease, but she does use her air control to stay aloft if there is little wind or if her wings get tired; adds 50% to final Body Type
- modified head and features, has no external ears (-50% hearing) and no nose, which makes her look a little odd, but she makes up for these things other ways
- antennae, though you can't see them on the image she has wide, flat 'feathers' on her antennae (about an inch wide, not leafy/feather shaped) that are quite sensitive to a very wide range of sound frequencies, as well as highly tuned to scents
- large sensitive eyes, she can see slightly into both infrared and ultraviolet spectrums and as such her flowering plants and leaves may express interesting shifts to those who detect them too; her eyes are light-sensitive however, and aside from being in a nightclub during a show (which she tolerates by wincing a lot) she must wear dark sunglasses if she's in the day light, there wouldn't be permanent blindness but she claims that 'the whole place is just blotted out' with light
- modified mouth and dietary restriction, she can only get nutrition from insect and fruits, she does enjoy their restaurant fare quite a bit! She does have a slightly more normal mouth than her brother's, but her vocal chords are similarly stunted and she just lets people have to listen carefully if she's got important things to say. If needed she can increase its volume with her air power, but rarely does unless it's in the club over noisy patrons
- fertility is incresed with similar-spliced types, and decreased the farther each feature might be, someone with four arms or a long tail, or wings, would be considered 'semi-', an insect-splice would be 'normal', and anyone else 'partial' success; she and her brother are twins, which would be a higher chance in any of their offspring as well, highly unusual for Zekirans

Incurs a 4 point Sanity Loss twice on encountering her just by virtue of being an unusual splice

Attractive to Odd Things - obviously in this case 'bugs' so there are always a reasonable number of insects that will drift closer to her even if that means at a political rally or a burlesque show... this interrupts other people much more than her, she's used to them

Name: Turrnox Selamputo ("biggest colony")
Gender: Male
Size/Shoulder/Length: *Varies 28' s typically but can go down to around 18' s
Colors: body dark wine-red slightly clouded with brighter and darker shades; moss rich greens, with pink and red-violet flowers; vines medium green; eyes red, claws bright white
Features: Plant Hybrid Hydra, as shown; biologically they appear to be around 75% plant and a bit of dragon otherwise, their skin and presumably other parts can photosynthesize; various relatives have different fringe and features
Powers: Verbal Speech and Telepathy, this mind is careful, not slow-witted. He speaks slowly, he thinks before he speaks, and does not speak in riddles. He gets to the point, and prefers when others do the same. His mental voice feels like a smooth piece of polished wood, but if he is agitated those vines seem to grasp as tendrils of urgency. Speaking he has the capability to shatter glass and vibrate the ground with his tones, simply by virtue of his size; his voice can be 'quiet' but often you'll hear him from clear across the Hold - that is to say nearly a quarter mile away
Fire Breath Weapon, the world which this hydra lives on now has a strange dilemma in the form of alien invaders that mistakenly believe they can just drop in and take the planet back. But when the planet itself looks like it's walking toward them, breathing a 200 meter long gout of flame and crisp-frying their landing craft, they know it's time to leave. Turrnox does not use this power often, but when he does anyone that's seen it will be amazed at its color - a brilliant red tinged with lavender, a color that has eluded chemical compounds and is being studied for that reason, by some of the Yilden folk. Maybe it's because of the kinds of 'plant material' he's built of, part of his genes, who knows
Size Shifting, as his sibling is able to get a notch bigger, Turrnox is capable of shrinking a bit here and there. He doesn't prefer this state, as he thinks he's not able to see over enough of the landscape to suit his status as protector of their gardens. Still, 18 feet at the shoulder even at his smallest is bigger than many of the offworld dragons that others bring by sometimes, and bigger than virtually any of the local ones by a margin. So when he's at his full size, he is literally a walking forest, and glories in this fact
Parentage: Kor'yaune Selamputo, Moss Hydra; Lacrichi, Rose Plant Dragon; Nalpick, Cactus Plant Dragon; Twishar, Vine Plant Dragon
Origin: Derivativeworks, art by Phe
Other Info: don't be lulled into thinking that just because he has a calm demeanor and a careful mind, that he's always a 'gentle giant'. He is a giant. And he is absolutely in charge here, so if anything ever needs taking care of, he will get to it much faster than a lumbering tree-creature might seem capable

Name: Sutshuk Selamputo (SUIT shook "spitting flower")
Gender: Female
Size/Shoulder/Length:* varies, typically 9' s as hydra, as humanoid 7' tall
Colors: body is an even yellowed green with high contrast shadows; moss is paler green with yellow-goldenrod and tan flowers; eyes red, claws bright white; these colors also appear on her Zekiran shape, hardly changed
Features: Plant Hybrid Hydra, as shown; biologically they appear to be around 75% plant and a bit of dragon otherwise, their skin and presumably other parts can photosynthesize; various relatives have different fringe and features; as a humanoid she keeps her tail and plant-like 'hair', but otherwise tends to look enough like any given Zekiran that she doesn't even get a double-take
Powers: Verbal Speech, though she can easily 'hear' thoughts nearby or from her siblings, Sutshuk's communication is through speech that is sly, always feeling like she's leaving something important out even if it's 'hi, good morning'. She speaks clearly in either form, and hardly ever raises her voice. What's the point, she can make even the bravest man tremble, and terrifies the aliens if they make it close enough to see her shift into her full form... That said, she does have a piercing shriek and a raucous laugh, which often come one after another if she's bent on stalking the visitors to the gardens
Acid Breath Weapon, an incredibly potent acid comes from her dragon form's mouth, though she cannot use it in humanoid shape. Unlike some members of her immediate family, she doesn't just drool on the floor all the time, saving her acid for clearing a path in dry brush, or causing a sticky painful mess for ground troops invading the area to walk over - not just painful, they won't be walking long as this acid can burn through thick armor and rubber as easily as flesh
Shapeshifting, extremely adept with her full body shifting, she's chosen to keep her tail and flowers, as she acts as a partner to Gornah when she's demonstrating her plant-shaping abilities. Yes she seems to actually like having this work done, it's like getting her hair-do did. She is often on hand to assist with tours or security, and her siblings can pick up cues that they might otherwise miss as she mingles with the patrons of the restaurant and garden
Parentage: Kor'yaune Selamputo, Moss Hydra; Lacrichi, Rose Plant Dragon; Nalpick, Cactus Plant Dragon; Twishar, Vine Plant Dragon
Origin: Derivativeworks art by Phe, doll from Doll Divine, Flashpoint used
Other Info: she's not all business, and she's not frivolous, Sutshuk enjoys all aspects of her abilities and her location to the best of her ability. If she had been separated from her siblings it's clear that she would be easily the 'leader' of whatever gang she could assemble, and she may yet do this, since the Zekirans have plenty of land and she can pose as one of them long enough to buy it.
