Playby: Zoe Saldana
Name: Sinsae Niniane
Age: 18
Sex: Female
Sexual Orientation: Bisexual
Species: Fabled Mutant (Mermaid)
Physical Description:
Human Form: Her skin is a hue of warm chocolate, golden and warm from sunbathing. She has a wide mouth, full and smiling. Her eyes are a deep brown. Her hair is dark in color, ranging from raven black to a warm brown. Her hair drapes down her back, almost to curl underneath her bottom.
Mermaid: This is where things get interesting. Her legs fuse together with a dark blue twist of flesh and scales. Her skin is a blue tinted lavender with small webs between each of her fingers. She has gills on the side of her neck that just look like small ridges. Her scales come from the tip of her tail, up the center of her back and spread out under and around her arms to cover up her breasts. The scales also continue up the back of her neck and slightly flare out as her neck, just behind her gills almost like and Elisabethan collar of frills. Her eyes are large and dark dark blue in this form and her hair is dark like seaweed and tinted a dusky cobalt. If if wasn't for the fragile curves of her body and her beautiful face, you could see her as a monstrous creature of the deep who would capture sailors from the ships and drag them down to the bottom of the ocean, but Sinsae has a young, sad quality. Her hair and the fins above her ears are decorated with flowers stolen from the land above. (See image below for visual representation of Merform)
Attitude: Sinsae, although shy, has a backbone. Upon capture by Jocelyn's slaves, she spoke not a word, not even in protest. Her body flailed and swam, trying to escape, but there was never a word that passed her beautiful lips. If you push her to do something, she will put her fins down in protest until you act civilized and ask her politely. She's very easy going and very scared of her current situation. Mostly, she'd prefer to hide.
Abilities: As a mermaid, she can breathe water as air. She's telepathic to some degree, although Jocelyn and her party wouldn't know that. Also, she has a light glow to certain parts of her body. This bio-luminescence, common with deep sea fish, was an ability that only Sinsae had within their colony. This light is dim and Sin does have control over it to the most degree. As a way to keep herself occupied, she also has some control over water. It's very weak, and mostly she can contort the water, piling the air into bubbles and shaping their forms into human like shapes or even few animals she saw. This 'power' isn't used in a offensive and defensive ways. It's simply a parlor trick.
Weaknesses: Sinsae cannot speak audibly in her merform. If she were above the water and forced to speak it would come out as air. Nothing to hurt the ears, nothing supernatural. Just air. Also, if she's forced to breath air above the water too long while in her merform, she gets lightheaded and if left out too long, she will die. Her own brand of bio-luminescence, while it can be controlled, Sin does have issues with her control if in extreme emotion. She also loves shiny gifts and scraps. Anything new, interesting and with a bit of glimmer, Sinsae will do most anything to keep such items.
It would also not be out of the realm of possibility, to punish Sinsae, to remove her shiny objects would put her in a depression. Only the return of her objects would lift her spirits.
History: Being young, Sinsae hasn't had much in the way of history. She hasn't known her mother or father, simply raised by a small colony. The colony, only 5 in total, split during a small tropical storm. Sinsae ended up tossed among the waves, drifting aimlessly off the coast of what was once Spain. Jocelyn Chernyy was the one who spotted her, stuck in a bit of broken wreckage. She was captured by the vampire quickly and with no mercy, stuck in the hold of their small steam ship and sailed across the seas to North America. As the journey was mostly on foot (after the sea trip), Sinsae had to have a container built for her out of a train car and filled with sea water. Jocelyn found a perverse humor in choosing a car from a circus, mermaids already painted on the box from a side show.
Sinsae didn't know much of her journey, saying silent and scared. Instead, she stayed silent and sent her prayers out to the moon. She soon herds words like, "gift" "Thor" and "vampire". Sinsae was terrified. She didn't know many of these creatures, preferring to stay deep under the water. The 'no-fins' scared her and the fire that they could wield was both horrible and wonderful.
Code Words: CORRECT
Rp Sample: Sinsae let out a silent huff as water sloshed around the top of her tank. The palms of her hands felt warm and the water that surrounded her kept her only barely. The sun above her was hot and her prison felt like tepid falls from a hot spring. She had been to a hot spring once. It was far below the Earth's surface, deep in the darkness. Still, the colony had stayed there several days, keeping warm and shedding last year's aching scales. Sinsae had been too young to shed, but she has enjoyed the warmth as much as the next. Now, the feel of the water was nearing the same, but Sin didn't enjoy it in the least.
Now, sun above her and miles of sand under her....she was well and truly stuck. Her tank rolled on, pulled by both human slaves and horses. Jocelyn wanted her gift delivered in style, apparently. Sinsae didn't hate the vampiress, not totally. She woman had treated her kindly, spoke every word carefully with her full meaning known. However, Sinsae saw the vicious blackness in the woman's mind and felt the empty hole in her heart.
Their steps made the water sway and Sinsae felt as if she would be sick. She didn't know things about measurements, miles, inches. To her, the sun had passed many times over her prison and she was sick with anger. Who were they to decide who is slave and gift?! Sinsae threw her arms down, causing the water only to stir. A tantrum was nothing while covered in water and Sinsae knew that even if she did get out of this jail cell, being stranded in the hills of white sand was not a place she wanted to be left. An escape would be made, she just didn't know when....or how. Those details were best thought of later.
Note: Although Sinsae cannot speak audibly while in merform, that isn't an issue with her. She has adapted by using a form of echolocation. She makes clicks with her tongue and by changing the shape of her mouth, she can change the sound and length of the click.
