Glaucus Reefsurge
the Primordial Vent Merman
Named for the gleaming brine that bursts from the vents, and the reef of fused minerals that grows from the surge of superheated water.
Power
You can call forth a burst of superheated brine from the deep vents, enough to sear flesh from bone — but the vent remembers your heat and takes an equal measure back, and you have learned that fire always asks for payment.

You do not rise to the surface. Not for shipwrecks, not for sunlight, not for the songs of others. You have chosen the deep vents, where the earth itself bleeds heat and stone, and the pressure is a kind of silence you have grown to love. The only warmth you trust is the one that comes from below.
