Lantana, Blessed by the Seas
--
Table of Contents
BackstoryLantana, 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.
PersonalityIdealistic: Lantana has strong will and ideals, but lived a sheltered life that stops her from understanding what it takes to see these ideals through. |

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.
