Name: Sarsippus Age: Unknown Sign: Gemini Height: 5'11 Weight: 170lbs Gender: Female Home: Rocky plateaus of the Subterranea Heritage: Fisher Clan Living family: Unknown. Hair: Orange fleshy tendrils Skin: Orange as a cheese doodle. Speaking Font: SerpentisBlack First Appearance: Page 116 Physical conditions: Difficulty moving on flat ground. No hands. Body Outline: Hunched and octopodian. Personality: Plain, neutral natured, sporting, prone to laborious explanations. Possibly a loner. IQ: 112 Spirituality: None. Allies: None. Enemies: None. Although there is some friction with Ahab's methods, she can't really call the demishaman an enemy. Summary: Sarsippus is a curious lone humanoid living within the Subterranea who seemingly hunts for prey alone alongside ridges and high rocky precipices. Possibly a member of the infamous primal tribes, she claims to come from a group called the Fishers who catch and release their prey much like professional fishermen do. The idea is to feed and allow the prey to continue its life, thus allowing for there to be prey for tomorrow. In a chance meeting as Ahab unknowingly enters the higher elevations of the Subterranea in her need to find blood, Sarsippus offers a non-aggression pact to mutually hunt together, thinking Ahab's spidery skills as a Death Clan member would be of great use to the both of them. (Pg.117) Happy for some help and glad to see someone not threatening her, Ahab agrees. The two make for even higher ground where, along the way, Ahab discovers her love of climbing. Sarsippus, meanwhile, misses a very important clue about Ahab's level of skill. (pg.118) After hearing lengthy and quite boring chatter about the nature of hunting clinically (which Ahab largely tunes out), the two find a bonafide Minotaur skulking about below their hunting post on the cliff. (pg.122) Unfortunately, Ahab is forced to come clean about her general lack of ability at the time. Much to the Fisher's initial dismay, Ahab insists on going on with the operation, plotting to distract the bull man. Quietly, she sees this as a rite of passage and knows she probably can't go on much longer without ingesting blood to stabilize herself. Attempting to flirt with the virile minotaur, Ahab is turned down on account of not being very attractive to begin with. (pg.124) So, she promptly whacks him with a rock to the head, which definitely gets his attention. (pg.126) Using a bit of instinctual subterfuge, a dangerous gambit pays off and Ahab manages to create a deceptively serious wound to the creature. Sarsippus immediately grabs it from afar and bashes it senseless against the rock, knocking it out cold. (pg.129) However, Sarsippus soon realizes the creature is dying from blood loss and having knocked it out, the minotaur slips into a fatal coma by result. (pg 130) Displeased, Sarsippus chides Ahab for using excessive force and being mainly responsible for killing the minotaur, although it could be argued she is at least somewhat responsible as well. Ahab is dismissed after drinking her fill and left to ponder her thoughts over the first time she took life of a sentient being. Diagnosis: Sarsippus' behavior probably comes from being excessively isolated compared to most other characters, much in the case of 1800's mountain men who would only see other faces about once a year. That said, she retains her faculties, but has a very certain way of how things should work. This results in an indistinct sense of personality. Sarsippus defines herself as forward moving and knowledgeable, with other people largely just being every day variables and conditions, and less that of actual people like herself. She isn't as detached as to be solipsist, but is likely a little arrogant for it. Sexuality: Hetero. Sarsippus is apparently alone but makes a brief flirty aside about the minotaur. (pg.122) Despite being bottom clad in a bikini, she's possibly a bit prudish when it comes down to it as she visibly blushes watching Ahab brazenly flirt with the minotaur to distact him. Skills: Sarsippus is a master hunter. From terrain to prey, she navigates the Subterranea's higher regions safely and effectively. Her body has no bones beyond the shoulder and shins, allowing her extremely stretchy limbs to extend rapidly when swung out, defined only by muscle control. She's fairly strong with those limbs, capable of climbing and swimming with ease. Her body is slick with an oily moisture, which allows her to move quicker through water (like a fish) and would likely be a boon for escaping grapples and traps. Aside from hunting, she has not demonstrated any other skills. -Posted on Sep 29, 2009
