Soldier turned Government Envoy
Reputation
Ulani is known as a good soldier who prefers to use diplomacy before shooting anything. As a Government Minister she’s known to deal fairly with all stakeholders.
Biography
Ulani is a bit of a rebel amongst the Blue. After visiting the surface on a “joy ride” with her friends at the age of 15, she discovered it wasn’t the place of horror and danger that her parents and other Blue elders made it out to be. She found it fascinating and so very exciting and spent several hours exploring the surfacer city, Los Angeles and vowed she’d go back.
Ulani continued to return to the surface, on a regular basis, learning surfacer ways and customs.
Her father (Maksim) was a scientist, researching new technology and her mother (Xael) held a position in the Blue Government. One day, during a routine demonstration to members of the Government of the technology her father was researching, something went horribly wrong and both parents were killed. Ulani was 16.
Camari, a friend of Ulani’s mother who works as an intelligence analyst within the Foreign Affairs portfolio, took her in and helped her complete her schooling, as well as giving her a love of diplomacy and political intrigue.
Gaige, Camari’s husband and a fairly high ranking soldier in the Blue army, taught Ulani to protect herself and fight.
Ulani joined the army at the age of 18 and rose quickly in the ranks however, she soon tired of all the rules and regulations. By the time she was 26, she entered public service starting as an aide to a minister in the Blue Government. In this role, Ulani was able to familiarise herself with proper Government process, identify key people within the Ministry and public service that are influential, whilst creating contacts and a reputation for herself.
At 29, Ulani became a junior minister within the Government occupying a position of “Government Envoy”. As an envoy, Ulani interacts with other societies including Atlantis, Arctic Blues and, in the fullness of time, Surfacers. For the time being, with Surfacers, she is charged with providing intelligence on their customs and movement and maintaining as low profile as possible.
Today, at the age of 32, Ulani has secured a position as a trustworthy person who will fairly represent the interests of all concerned parties. There is a hidden component to Ulani’s experience… she knows how to infiltrate and assess situations without making her presence known. Some may call her spy… others may just say she knows how to blend into the background.

Character Details
Quiet, polite, peacemaker. Ulani is well suited to an ambassadorial role as she prefers to listen before speaking and considers her words accordingly. This may make her appear somewhat reserved.
| Hydrokinesis |
| As an Elite Blue, Ulani is able to shape and manipulate water in any form (liquid, steam, water vapour or ice). This ability can be used to control and manipulate ocean currents and tides as well as ‘part the water’. |
| Transform and Creature Creation |
Using the ability to shape water, Ulani is able to completely transform herself into a liquid form either in the shape of a body or a controllable mass of fluid. Using her hydrokinesis, she is able to shape water to create durable, dangerous weapons or beings. The beings created can be fully controlled by Ulani or have varying degrees of autonomy.
Weapons may be created and maintained with minimal mental effort, still allowing Ulani to fight and talk.
Beings require differing levels of concentration depending on the level of autonomy:
* A fully controlled being can be conjured in seconds, but takes 80% of Ulani’s concentration to animate
* A being that can be directed to a task (like fighting 1 or many enemies) takes up to 5 minutes to conjure but requires only 15% of Ulani’s concentration to animate.
During the conjuring process, 100% concentration is required and Ulani is vulnerable to attack and may lose the conjuring. |
| Self Healing |
Ulani can heal her own wounds and injury, even life threatening ones, by transforming herself into water and then back again. The severity of the wound or injury determines how long she must remain in liquid form (Benchmark: 7, Augmented Healing):
* Minor wounds including superficial lacerations (affecting only the skin and there is no penetration into the blood vessels), first degree burns and single fractures can heal in minutes and up to 1 hour
* Moderate wounds including deep lacerations (affecting all the layers of the skin), up to 3 broken bones, second degree burns, minor concussions and contusions can take up to 1 day to heal
* Severe wounds including complicated lacerations (affecting underlying tissue such as muscles, tendons, nerves, organs), more than 3 broken bones, third degree burns and severe concussion can take up 2 days to heal
* Life threatening, or fatal, wounds can take up to 7 days to heal.
All healing requires Ulani to transform into her water state, until the healing is complete. If she transforms during the healing, the injuries will only be mended to that point, but healing may recommence when she enters her water state again. _ |
| Enhanced Physical Condition |
| As an Elite Blue, Ulani is in peak physical and mental condition and requires little work to maintain this. As a result, she is stronger, faster and more intelligent than standard Blue warriors and even moreso than Humans, without being supernatural. |
| Non Descript |
| One of the first rules for being a good envoy, or spy, is that you should be unmemorable. No defining or distinguishing features that may be remembered. Ulani, although she possesses the standard Blue quality of good physical condition, isn’t memorable. |
| Weapons Training |
| Trained by her foster father, Gaige, from the time she was 16 and then extending that training through the army for 6 years, Ulani could be considered a master swordswoman and is more than proficient in other weapons she can create using hydrokinesis. Regular practice and stretching herself by trying new weapons, keeps Ulani at the top of her game. |
| Social Skills |
| Working with Camari from the age of 16, Ulani has developed a love for and a deep understanding of the art of diplomacy, which includes highly developed social skills. Camari worked diligently with Ulani through her late teens to ensure she was more than socially adept. Even today, Camari still provides advice and counselling to Ulani in this regard. |
| Additional Weapons Arsenal |
As a Blue, Ulani is able to create weapons at will, using Hydrokinesis. Ulani also wears a coral pendant that allows her to create lightweight, low friction Body Armour that is far stronger than Kevlar. The armour can also shoot coral projectiles (quills), similar to flechettes, seemingly created out of nothing. The quills can also contain a neurotoxin, which Ulani can summon at will (Benchmark: 7)
She also wears a coral wrist cuff on each arm, each cuff is connected to a ring worn on the middle finger of each hand. These are really beam firing pistols with miniaturised power supplies. The beams are effective in and out of water. The power supplies are long lasting, but not exhaustive and must be recharged after 6 hours use. (Benchmark: 9)
As a Government Envoy, Ulani also has access to technology and weaponry that is deemed necessary to allow her to complete her work and missions. Access is provided on approval of her superiors. |
| Non Descript |
| Whilst being non descript is an advantage, it can also be a disadvantage. After all, if you don’t leave an impression with someone, can you really influence decision making process? The answer is yes, if you’re really, really good… this is something that challenges Ulani regularly. |
| Talking isn’t always the way |
| Regardless of her army and weaponry training, Ulani will always resort to talking first. This can be problematic when a situation breaks down and she needs to fight because really, she would prefer not to. |
| Water can still be attacked |
| Whilst being able to transform into a water is pretty awesome, it isn’t without its weaknesses. In her water form, Ulani is practically invulnerable but if she forgets, she is still susceptible to attacks that affect water. Sonic blasts, heating it, freezing it etc. Ulani needs to remember this and often, she doesn’t. |
| Distrust of Research Processes |
| Losing her parents in her mid teens to a research experiment gone wrong has left Ulani with deep distrust of the scientific process and she questions everything about new technology before using it. This means that Ulani often eschews using new technology far longer than she should. |
| Bit of A Rebel |
| Ulani may have served for 6 years in the Blue army and entered public service, but there is a streak that resents the rigidity and discipline that these bring to her life. Ulani is, quite simply, a bit of a rebel and may challenge authority at exactly the wrong time. |
