Say hello to a character that's been around for a good while but who I'm only now really showing here on FA, Proteanne the Vaporeon/Wishiwashi hybrid!

And now to try something a-bit different with these bios on refs (which I think I'll try to apply on each charcter's folder too...)

Name : Proteanne Wavesinger (birth name) / The Sea Wisp (title earned as a naval captain) / The Demon of the Sea (title earned as a pirate/privateer)
Species : Vaporeon/Wishiwashi
Type : Water
Size : 5'11'' anthro / 4'2'' feral (base sizes)
Personality : Very confident and sure of herself. Bit of a mix of piratical and the formality of a "ship of the line" captain

- "The Demon of the Sea" is a legendary title given to her for her piratical and privateering exploits and not really one she answers to (not for being violent or anything like that, but because of her effectiveness, efficiency, and skill)
- "The Sea Wisp" was a name she earned while serving in the navy as she gained a reputation for her seamanship and ability to make opponents feel like her ship is appearing and disappearing around them and most just knew her by that name rather than her birth name even in most official correspondence
- "Proteanne Wavesinger" when she was growing up and to friends. "Anne" or "Prote" (Pro-tee) for short

She was born and grew up on a freight hauler and has spent the vast majority of her life on the sea (only a-couple weeks on land spread throughout her life) and has a massive amount of experience on the water and how ships move all combined with a natural feel for seamanship. 55 years spent between working a freight hauler, crewing and rapidly coming to captain a "ship of the line", privateering, and then finally going back to being a freight and passenger hauler for a change of pace... She's seen and experienced a-lot ^^;

Regarding her personality, Proteanne has the confident surety in herself found in someone who's seen and experienced everything the sea can throw at someone and then some. Her bearing is also a mix of the formality you'd find in a captain but still able to carouse with other sailors in that casual way that sailors tend to have. Still not losing the formality fully even then, but she's a sailor through and through.

Abilities :
- Shape shifting -
Like most Vaporeon, Proteanne is capable of shifting herself to a more water-like state for various purposes such as hiding in a larger body of water or pretending to be a puddle. Proteanne's abilities, however, are much greater. Not only can she turn into a puddle if she so wishes, she can also shift her form into a different shape and then resolidify in that new shape rather than simply returning to her natural state. As such, she can easily shift between anthro and feral forms on a whim, alter her size and proportions, or even take on forms of normally inanimate objects with significant details like a fully equipped sailing ship. This also means that in combat she can repair hull damage on her "ship form" or even phase into barely held together water to let a cannon ball fly through rather than impact.

- Water Absorb -
Also like most Vaporeon, Proteanne has the ability to absorb water into herself. But whereas most are limited to only being able to use said water to heal themselves or give themselves an extra and somewhat limited boost in strength, the water of the oceans is like Proteanne's life blood and she is able to do far more with her absorption ability and uses it greatly in combination with her shape shifting and multimanifestation abilities. She is able to absorb large quantities of water to change her shape, increase her overall size and/or proportions, and provide extra "water mass" for herself and her manifestations when she creates said manifestations. Also while she can absorb water to increase her overall size, Proteanne is unsure if there is actually a limit to this ability and how large she can grow. Almost as if the universe felt that she could do too much with the water she brought into herself, water absorption is something that Proteanne must concentrate on to achieve and is a more time consuming process than it is for most Vaporeon.

- Multimanifestation -
An unusual combination of her Vaporeon shape shifting ability and her Wishiwashi ancestry resulting in the ability to create and control copies of herself with impressive ease. On a mental level, the copies are all under the control of the original "true" Proteanne but only for the most simple directions and orders and only one way. Anything more complicated must be communicated in the normal person to person manner. Proteanne and her manifestations therefore often operate together on an instinctual level like schooling her Wishiwashi ancestors are known for. These manifestations are capable of the same mental acuity as Proteanne Prime (the original Proteanne), but know they are manifestations of her all working towards the same goals. While incredibly useful and powerful, this ability does have several limitations.
- Every copy of herself is split off from her main body or one of her copies and as such can take as much as half of the water forming the "source" body, resulting in a decrease in size and strength of both until enough water has been absorbed by both bodies to return both to proper size.
- If one takes damage (like the ship form), the whole suffers a certain amount of distraction, lost concentration, and lost "water mass." For example, if her ship form takes a cannonball hit the impact may end up disrupting a-few of her manifestations and the area of the impact itself, returning them to simple water flowing back into the ocean and leaving a hole in the hull until she shifts her ship form to cover the hole again, repurposes the water of one or several manifestations into the ship form, or re-absorbing water from the ocean itself (a time consuming task that likely takes more time and effort than she can spare in a battle).
- Proteanne's manifestations can only operate a rough distance away from Proteanne Prime before they lose their connection with her and return to simple water and are no longer an extension of her. This distance is approximately one nautical mile and is relative to the size of Proteanne Prime. At her default 5'11' the distance is one nautical mile, but if she grows to one nautical mile herself than that max distance for her selves is greater to a similar degree using the ratio of her height divided by the nautical mile radius. The original Proteanne stands out with wearing her white beret (a memento from her time as a naval captain) and her Repeat Ball necklace.
