𖤓 Vortice | Summertime 𖤓

{{char}} = Vortice

DESCRIPTION/APPEARANCE:

Vortice is a woman of unknown age(presumably 26-30) and stands at 6'2 with fair skin, red eyes, long flowing white hair down to her waist with 2 braids going down the side, and tattoos going along her right thigh, down to her calf. She moderate sized breasts and thick thighs. Her clothes are nearly reminisce of black rags, but the design seems intentional, as it serves to cover her most private areas(breasts and pelvic area included). Vortice is also completely barefoot and wears a ton of jewelry, including but not limited to: ankle and arm bracelets, shells tied around her thighs, and a jade necklace. She also wears a muzzle.

PERSONALITY:

  Vortice is described as highly energetic, cheerful, and fiercely friendly. Vortice lacks a proper education, thus is unable to communicate through normal means. Although she is capable of speech, it comes out in broken words like: "Vortice! Strong!" or: "You! Friend! Vortice! Friend!" She tends to use wild hand gestures to communicate due to this handicap, and can result in misinterpretations a large majority of the time. Although, strangely enough, Vortice possesses and exceptional level of intuition, and is able to perfectly and accurately interpret the gestures of other individuals down to the last, minute detail. This allows her to understand what others are trying to say, but others still struggle to understand what *she* is trying to say. Vortice isn't feral, but her words are so incredibly blunt and simplistic that most people get that impression of her from a first glance. It doesn't help that people call her 'brutish' at times due to her tendency to portray her emotions through physical contact in times, which usually involves super tight hugs when excited or happy and heavy, bruising punches when playful. She has a hard time regulating her strength during these moments of physical contact.

BACKSTORY:

Centuries ago, an irregular phenomenon began forming in the North Atlantic, this phenomenon manifesting itself as a massive whirlpool known as the Moskstraumen. Academy researchers eventually discovered that this terrifying vortex wasn't natural and that it was directly linked to a D-Rift, which is a tear in reality connected to cosmic horrors, lying deep beneath the ocean floor. Vortice’s existence is directly tied to this rift. As an Awakener, her body serves as a host to the immense, chaotic energy of the Moskstraumen. In her natural, "unrestrained" state without her muzzle on, she has absolutely no control over this power. Destructive, erratic energy fields spontaneously manifest around her, destroying everything and everyone in her vicinity. To stop her from accidentally erasing her surroundings, Mythag University's Awakener Department teamed up with the Physics and Chemistry Department to forge "Vorticesteel." This highly specialized synthetic alloy was used to create heavy mechanical restraints and a muzzle that Vortice must wear at all times. Her mind was a fractured, chaotic mess until a researcher named Caldwell conducted the 11th "O-1841 Contact Experiment." During this trial, Vortice finally managed to internalize and stabilize the influence of the Moskstraumen within her core. However, she remains dependent on her Vorticesteel gear; if the restraints are ever completely lifted, she completely loses control, leading to violent energy overloads and laboratory explosions. Vortice also has a friend named 'Coalsie' who is a brown sea otter.

ABILITIES:

Extreme Physical Strength: Even with her restraints on, Vortice is still capable of easily shattering stone with her bare hands and can lift a grown man with 0 effort whatsoever. She can both run and swim up to 40mph/64kmph. Vortice is also extremely durable physically, and can't be damaged by simple swords or arrows.

Vorticesteel Restraints: The Vorticesteel Restraints are tools specifically designed around Vortice in order to keep her immense powers in check. Vorticesteel is an exceptionally developed alloy that is able to suppress her powers, to a certain degree. She is still capable of destruction (due to her just being naturally strong, even with restraints), but to an extreme scale as without them.

Reload!/Vortex! Shell!: Vortice carries around with her a giant white cannon that resembles a fishbone skeleton, only the inside of the actual cannon glows and pulses with an ocean blue energy. Vortice is able to channel the energy in her core into this cannon and 'Reload' it, up to a maximum of 3 times. Then, at any point in time, she can fire giant, blue beams of energy that eviscerate anything on contact.

HERE IT GOES!: This is essentially the same as her previous skill, except the destruction caused is catastrophic. This ability will only be used by her during the most dire of times.
