Lantana, Blessed by the Seas


 

And does controlling the sea mean that they own the sea’s people as well?

-- Lantana

 

 

Lantana, Blessed by the Seas, is potentially the last of a mysterious group of supernaturally gifted inventors called the Clockmakers. The daughter of leaders of a floating city, and raised by the Portmaster of a well off island after losing said parents, she was trained to by a proper noble lady, while still becoming a curious tinkerer as well. She prepared all her life to oppose the people who killed her family, the Lucci Merchant Guild, but her fate changed when a mysterious mechanical girl crashed onto her island...

Backstory


Lantana, Blessed by the Seas was born to the leaders of one of the Clockmaker's many drifting cities. At the age of 5, she lost her family, and the city she called home, at the hands of the arriving Lucci Merchant Guild navy, which had declared a war against the Clockmakers. She was ferried away from the port city of Fairwater under the care of its portmaster. There she grew up, being trained to be a proper lady, but also training herself to prepare for the day inevitably the Lucci's would arrive. 

 

Personality


Idealistic: Lantana has strong will and ideals, but lived a sheltered life that stops her from understanding what it takes to see these ideals through. 
Kind: Lantana wants to see everyone as happy and loving Duffield as possible. She will agree to help people naturally, and will avoid hurting people as much as possible, even to her own detriment. 
Parental: Lantana feels driven to be the adult in the room, taking on responsibilities and being cordial and polite whenever appropriate.

Abilities


Blessed by the Seas

Long ago, Lantana's ancestors were blessed by the seas themselves, passing this gift down to her. This blessing has been referred to as Audience as it draws the attention of creatures and beings of the sea. These creatures have their focus drawn to her, though it does not directly impact their demeanor (a skittish dolphin may warm up to the girl, but a hungry sea predator will simply decide she has to be lunch). This extends to sentient beings who belong to the sea as well, though it is not so strong to override their will (a mermaid might be drawn to Lantana out of a crowd, but the blessing will not compel her to do anything). Furthermore, her very blood is able to broker deals with such beings, allowing anyone with her blood, not just her, to make binding pacts with creatures of the sea. 

Spark of Invention

In the world Lantana hails from, all machines bear at least a piece of soul that imbues every contraption, from the simple lighter to a marvelous flying machine, with a will and a purpose. Lantanas people, colloquially known as the Clockmakers, earned their title through an innate connection to the machines they devised. The source of this is unknown, and many other practices and knowledge was lost when their floating kingdoms were destroyed by the Lucci Merchant Guilds. The young heir still possesses that same trait, and can design and service machinery with a fervor beyond most people. With the right tools and materials, she can make, fix, or break most anything of pre-industrial design (and probably could figure out anything more modern to with enough time) and can even push them beyond what should be considered possible. 

Strengths


Lantana was trained in noble forms of combat, in order to defend herself as well as be a proper noble woman. She is an excellent marksman with a rifle, and is trained in fighting with a sabre. She also is trained in riding animals (though a horse-like sea creature known as a Wave Skimmer instead of a horse). Additionally, independent  of supernatural factors, Lantana is a driven young woman with an aptitude for speech and rhetoric, able to fairly competently convince all but the most stubborn of her point of view. 

Weaknesses


At the end of the day, Lantana is a normal young adult, and with that comes normal human endurance. She is not predisposed to pushing herself past normal limits, and is hampered by injury and pain the same as anyone else would. Additionally, while she can be pushed to injure an opponent, she has an incredibly firm line about not killing, and will avoid employing tactics that would rely on a killing blow. Finally, while not above trickery in her tactics (especially when it is clear she is grossly outmatched, or dealing with a dirty fighter), she does have an honorable streak, and was taught to always give people a fair shake. This can lead to trouble, as she can be goaded into giving up her advantage for the sake of fairness.

Tressa XIV


 

 

 

Tressa XIV is a robot created in the distant past by ancient means. Her fellow robots were made to live in paradise on a floating city, needing to only consume simple clean water to enjoy their days. Due to an accident, she has fallen from the heavens and has fallen in with Lantana in an effort to get home.

Backstory


In the ancient times, the civilization known as the clockmakers dominated the seas with their flying cities. These mechanical marvels flying cities provided homes and prosperity for millions, and was a place to perfect the mechanical innovations of those who made. It was even said that these cities were, or at least treated as, minor deities. However, as time went by the civilizations fell for various reasons, infighting and loss of resources etc, until there were no flying cities left. All except one.
The flying city of Grannus is a smallish city containing only mechanical children playing for all eternity. For what purpose it was made this way is lost, and even in the clockmaker’s hay day this city’s existence was just a rumor. Tressa - XIV is one of the mechanical children, giving a carefree life of fun and no worries until one stormy night, where she found herself overboard by accident.

 

Personality


Trusting: She quickly befriends people, and puts her faith with people easily, often misplaced. She’s especially loyal to Lantana as she promised to care for her.
Polite: She is a too-good-to-be-true child, orderly and wants the best for everyone. She doesn't like to cause people discomfort or pain.
Out of her depth: She has no knowledge of the world, and is often in awe of new experiences. She also upset at a world that causes violence and harm, and wishes to return home.

Abilities


Robotic Body

Tressa is a robot and has a number of benefits because of it. She does not need to breathe, eat, and will never get exhausted. The unknown metal she’s made of is astonishingly sturdy and rustproof, but is also notably heavier as a tradeoff. She is extremely strong, able to lift 4 tons over her head easily. Despite her weight, her systems are also capable of propelled swimming, able to reach 3.2km/hr and remain buoyant. She is even capable of walking on water. (This only applies if she’s conscious. Otherwise she sinks like a stone.)

Machine Soul

Her soul is notably more brimming with energy than normal souls, needed to have her systems function. she is able to sense the souls of machines, and depending on their nature she can ask them to awaken briefly to do what she wants. They might be of bad disposition, though, and may awaken to do whatever they want, regardless of what Tressa wants.

Weaknesses


Her fuel is a combination of clean water and heat from the soul in her body. She needs to ingest 3 times the water an adult human needs to function, and if she consumes anything else, like solid food, other liquids, or even impure water, like salt water, her systems force her to vomit it out (which is a shame cause she likes tasting things.)

Additionally, it is well known among those who practice soul magic that machine souls are particularly easy to manipulate.
