Delwin Deepmurmur
the Scaldingrift Merman
Named for the bright murmur of the vent's hiss, and the deeps that carry it.
Power
Ventflame — you can call up a column of boiling brine from the seafloor vents that scalds flesh and cracks stone, but each use steals one breath from your lungs, and you have only seven in a day.

The caldera floor was your first home, and it cost you your voice for a full winter to learn the language of the steam. You paid with your soft palms to knead the vents, and now they are leather and heat-scarred, and you can read the pressure of a rift in the way the water trembles.
