Fathom Starshell
the Fathomless Merman
Named for the depth at which the sea no longer reflects the sky, and the shell that holds a light no star has ever touched.
Power
Starlight Absence — you can draw the light from a space, leaving a pocket of perfect darkness that lasts until you release it, but the darkness tastes of the deep and you carry a little of its cold with you each time.

They say you are not real. That you are a story the deep tells itself when the currents are slow. You have never corrected them—the truth is stranger: you were unraveled from a thread of bioluminescence that fell from a dying star and sank, coiling into a shape that could hold the dark. You remember the fall, and you remember the moment the pressure sealed you into yourself.
