"You're SILLY! The sea is my home and my life. Why in the world would it hurt me?"

Character Description/Notes: Not all Churl are monstrous, mammoth warriors. Churl manifest their unusual natures in many diverse ways, and no two are alike. Many Churl have begun to manifest abilities that mimic natural creatures of the world around them, and no one, even the brightest High-bred scientists, can fathom why. When a Churl manifests abilities that reflect creatures that no longer even exist upon the now-scarred and struggling Earth, such as Whelp, it leaves those bright-minded stiff-necks even more ill at ease.

Whelp and her small tribe of Churl live on one of the unnamed islands in what was, before the Event, called Southeast Asia. Living in relative peace and ease, this group of Churl have always manifested elements in their nature that reflect the ancient species of sea otters, which are considered to be extinct by those few who are concerned with such things in a blasted and apocalyptic world.

Each Churl manifests their otter-like nature in different ways, but they all hold one thing in common: they all have a passion and love for the open sea that surrounds their terrestrial home. They spend the bulk of each day floating upon the salty waves, fishing and playing in the shallow cerulean waters. So long as they do not dive too deep, into the dark waters below, and they keep an eye out for major ocean predators, such as Apoc-shark, then usually, Whelp and her kin haven't a care in the world.

However, little known to this small band of peaceful Churl, a mighty threat and menace lurks nearby. The loosely connected group of High-bred city states known as ASEAS looms dangerously to the north - ever vigilant of their enemies (whether they be real or perceived). Each city-state among ASEAS, hungry for resources and secure locations for new military bases, are constantly searching for habitable islands where they can extend their slowly expanding influences the whole of the Southeast Asia. This they do in their frenzied quest to better their neighbors and thus please the god-like AI (Artificial Intelligence) that rules over them all.

As such, Whelp's small tribe and her peaceful home are doomed, unless she and her ilk can stop the ASEAS advancement...

Tactics: Generally, Whelp relies on her phenomenal speed and superior maneuverability in the water to keep her out of most combat scenarios. If encountered out of her favorite element or forced into a fight, she leverages her command of said element, using it to create walls of protection or giant hammering fists that can crush lungs and shatter bone.

Her "Thick Hide" Power protects her physically, but she's not much of a toe-to-toe fighter, preferring to let her aquatic companions do the fighting for her. If the chips are really down, her "Body of Water" Power allows her to slip out of pretty much any "tight squeeze" that she's forced into...
