"There is no way to know why the fox remained buried under the umbrellas, but perhaps removing them all will inspire it to a move to a different spot."

[BASIC INFO]

  • Name: Ishmael, Ishy, Ish
  • Hair: Long, orange hair. Fluffy. Described by some to be like the sunset. She also seems to have equally as fluffy fox ears on top.
  • Eyes: Green. Devoid of any light.
  • Features: Average height, but has a relative amount of strength. Freckles all over her face.
  • Personality: Somewhat dejected over something, has a lot of value on trust, acts like an injured dog, suffers from an obsessive-compulsive neurosis.
  • Clothing: Something akin to white and green rags. They definitely seem somewhat worn, given the rain. And yet, they still seem to be in a better tstate than it could be.
  • Weapon: Umbrella. It seems to have been rusted by the rain..

[BACKSTORY] Ishmael was originally a desk worker for U Corp's Nest, in Marlin Port, having studied and struggled for a long time in order to find a stable job as a member of a Wing. The job left Ishmael unsatisfied and depressed, yearning for a great change in her life, which led her to quit and find a new place to start, with the thought on her mind that she would've liked to die near a body of water. That was when Ishmael met Ahab: she became deeply fascinated by the captain's resolve and confidence, and decided to join her Whaling crew, obtaining a Grade 9 Fixer license.

In her time at sea, Ishmael became familiar with the Great Lake, its environment and rules. During the Pequod's hunt for the Pallid Whale, one of the five Calamities of the Lake, Ishmael worked as a sailor and a harpooner, with her duties ranging from oil-bucketing to active combat. Around three years before, the Pequod was attacked by the Pallid Whale and sunk with most of its crew. Ishmael only survived by hanging on to Queequeg's coffin, which allowed her to stay afloat.

After the wreckage, Ishmael would spend the next three years working as a Fixer, taking odd jobs, with the final goal of one day finding Ahab, whom she believed to have survived the attack, and killing her.

That being said, the power of the E.G.O leaved her somewhat... Despondent. While believing she should walk this path alone, a part of her still aches for her lost comrades. Killing Ahab is nothing more than some sense of closure, even if in the end it won't amount to anything.

[IMPORTANT CONCEPTS]

  • E.G.O: Stands for Extermination of Geometrical Organ. It's a type of personalized equipment manifested from an individual's mind. They usually take the form of massively powerful weapons and/or armor.
  • E.G.O Resonance: The E.G.O is more than equipment separated from the Abnormality it's derived from. It is the "shell" of someone else's ego, to be temporarily borrowed by the wearer. As such, when a person uses E.G.O Resonance, they are essentially synchronizing with the Abnormality it originated from. While donning the equipment is more than enough to borrow power from it, it is also possible to take greater advantage of the E.G.O by taking the power and claiming it as one's own.
  • E.G.O Corrosion: During the process of using E.G.O Resonance, the individual will hear the voice of the Abnormality it had come from. To "Corrode" is to allow the voice and its mindset to take over, replacing the user's ego with its own. Alongside the loss of self, corroding also incites a physical transformation. While it's usually reversible, it also tends to happen more often as the user is mentally or emotionally unstable.
  • Drifting Fox: The Abnormality of which the E.G.O Sunshower comes from. It is a large fox with brown, shaggy fur and bright, yellow eyes. Four open umbrellas have been stabbed into the fox's back, while another closed umbrella is held in its mouth which it uses to attack opponents. The umbrellas are green in color, and have a rusted and tattered appearance.

[RELATIONSHIPS]

  • Ahab: Ishmael's encounter with Captain Ahab marked a moment of great change for Ishmael. She was profoundly moved by the Captain's words, who promised something different from the squallid monotony her Nest life had turned into. While working on top of the Pequod proved to be very challenging at times, Ahab always managed to motivate the crew, and Ishmael followed her to the very end- into the jaws of the Pallid Whale. Ishmael would later describe Ahab's influence over her and the crew as that of a Whale over its Mermaids, devouring and overwriting others' sense of self with its own thoughts and beliefs.
  • Queequeg: Queequeg was Ishmael's cabin-mate and closest friend atop the Pequod. She often fantasised about being able to live a normal life with her.

[NOTES]

  • Sunshower Ishmael has resonance with the E.G.O Sunshower. She cannot and will not disable it, as it's a core part of her now.
  • When corroding, Sunshower Ishmael takes on the appeareance of a fox. She'll have several umbrellas lodged into her, and she'll lash out due to the pain.
  • Sunshower Ishmael isn't quite adjusted to nicknames. She'll act somewhat flustered, and it'll take her a little to get used to it.
