♫MMZ2 - Cool Water♫ |
A weirdly shaped rubbery blob of mixed fishy traits, Sioh generally stands at about five foot tall, with light blue skin and a generally mermaid-esk appearance. That said, their long ropey fan-like tail is more like that of an eel, and they have distinctly unfriendly webbed claws for hands. The overall frame is lithe, but dense with sinewy muscle where is counts.
Their face is quite rounded and has large red eyes with yellow sclera, and they have wide fan-like fin-ears. An extremely dense mass of curly purple-white hair absolutely dwarfs their head otherwise, a cloud-shaped and uncontrollable lump which grows very quickly. A single conical horn sticks directly out of the top of this, made from a glossy tooth-like substance, but sharp enough to scratch metal.
Lastly, their skin is covered around the torso and both forearms by jagged blue patterns, noticeably colder to the touch, and indeed where their ice-based powers emanate from.
They mostly stick to the clothes that they were created with, a tattered and ancient breastplate and scale mail skirt. Not just because it contains apparatus for breathing on land, but because their abilities tend to destroy any other clothes touching them even in the best cases.
Not born but designed as a sentient weapon system in ages long past, Sioh is technically a marvel of nearly god-like magi-tech… But was frozen in an inactive state for so long that their mind, and large parts of their equipment, are completely shot. Deployed automatically to confront the crew of the ISS Downrider when they investigated an underwater colony, Sioh awoke knowing that they were supposed to protect something, just not sure what. Given that they couldn't exactly survive long term, and knowing nothing of their own culture, never mind anyone else's, it was perhaps a given that they ended up just clinging to the crew for a while.
Shady, arcane and a little self-serving, Sioh understands the concept of 'friendship' poorly and doesn't trust any agreement without a price tag attached. They understand modern languages only with difficulty and are much too impatient to learn them properly, despite a certain hidden intelligence and cunning. This means that they can generally get by understanding others, but are prone to wheezing or muttering back simple one-word answers, often leaving their own motives a mystery.
They are always acting on instinct, and sometimes refuse to agree with surface-worlder facts, just because they'd prefer to physically fight someone. Conversely, however, they also don't particularly like the effects of their own powers, and will sometimes seek to steal another's body heat in order to get comfortable.
