Name: Cthylla Misenus
Gender: F
Age: 18
Appearance:
Personality: She is headstrong, proud and unstoppably determined. She was once a carefree girl, but her indoctrination has left her rigid and deadly serious in all things. She is not uncaring however, it is simply her duty to be a bastion of power to remain focused, so that those who are weaker can live their carefree lives in safety and peace. This is something of a shell however, an armor built of hubris to let her fulfill her purpose. Beneath it all she just wants this all to be over, so she can return to the life she had before.
"I often dream about the old days"Bio:
Born to the hidden city of Atlantis, one of the few places on earth still free from the Elemental Kings thrall. Isolationist since before recorded human history the sunken city sees the conquest of the surface world as a thing beyond their concern, the humans fight among themselves all the time, empires rise, empires fall, this dictator too shall pass in time. It is a tragedy to see them suffer, but they are too few to go on the offensive, so why waste their lives when they can simply wait. Hidden. Safe. For beneath the waves we are invincible. He would be a fool to come here even if he knew.
The prophecy took this plan and shattered it into a million pieces. Cynthea's birth and destiny where the most debated topic in the halls of the kingdom of the free. Should they join the daughter of water in her war? Should they defy the prophecy, steal the human's hope to ensure their existence would remain hidden? Should they simply send her on her own? While argument and counter argument raged in the halls of power the girl herself led the tranquil life of an Atlantean. She played hide and seek within the caves with the other children, learned to read and write, to use her atlantean abilities to a basic extent. It was a simple life, an easy one. When you can simply command your dinner to present itself before you there really is little to worry about when it comes to your future.
by the tame she reached age 10 however, it was decided that no matter what they end up choosing to do with the chosen of the waters, she must be trained, she must be ready for whatever the future holds. She was taken from her family and inducted in the Esoteric Order of Dagon. She was scared when they took her away from her home, confused that her parent’s did not stop them. She was terrified when they took her eyes. But then she learned, learned to use her Atlantean powers to their full potential, to see the world not through the dim light of the sun but through her connection with the water, with the life that lived in it. She learned to manipulate the flow of water around her, to command all the beasts of the ocean in greater numbers and she learned of her purpose. Her destiny.
When they thought she was ready she was taken before him, that great and most ancient of beasts who slumbered beneath the great city, the water god made mortal, or so they believed. It was supposed to be a humbling experience for a fully trained member of the order, to show that no matter how much power she had gained she would never surpass the old one, never know or command a mind so alien. She failed that last lesson.
The old men in their palaces were taking too long, bickering and fighting yet never coming to a decision. for 18 years had they dallied. So she made the choice for them. She took the old one and ascended to meet her destiny. She did not know what challenges awaited her above, but she had 70% of the surface of the earth at her command. What could possibly stand before her.

Pet Personality:
How does one describe a being this vast, this old, this horrifying. how does one explain the demeanor of an unstoppable force of nature. In a word: lazy. This massive sea creature would be asleep beneath Atlantis if it weren't for Cthylla. As it is they are currently but a vessel for her purpose, a battering ram to break down the elemental king’s dominion. It is unclear what they will do now that they are awake, but it is likely if she loses control the great beast will return to the ocean to sleep once more, awaiting who know what unseen dawn to finally awaken.
