About Maxilara "Maxy" OkeanosBackstory:
Generations of gillmen have lived under the piers of the Bristles, scavenging the refuse of Pikapell Market. Their poverty holds them down but Operc and Caudal decided their daughter, Maxy, would be different. They saw how perceptive and intuitive she was, paired with a strong back and a will to work. They began an ambitious plan when she was in her teens, saving a spare copper here, a pair of used boots there. When she came of age, they supplied her with a complete set of respectable worker's clothes. And importantly, her shirt had enough collar that, with her hair down, most people wouldn't notice that she was a gillwoman. Not easily, at least. Thanks to her parents, Maxy managed to grab a job on a seedy merchant's barge. It didn't take long for her coworkers to learn her heritage and she faced some harassment. She offered no provocation but when a half-drunk bully got in her face, she knocked him flat on his large ass. After a few weeks of steady, hard work and a few more broken noses and black eyes, the other laborers left her alone. She was happy to keep to her own affairs, sharing a meal a day with her parents and swimming in what little free time she had. Her parents had shown her the few small oyster beds she could harvest without harassment from Diobel's fisherfolk and she explored more on her own. As she communed with the odd fragments of sea life crammed into various corners of the shipwrecks and piers of Diobel, she learned that nature was far from subdued, even in this busy harbor. She even found that she could tap into some of this power, coaxing a little more food out of the harbor when scavenging or even communicating with a dolphin. Over time, her career and abilities progressed. Her strong back and cool head drew the attention of a client on the barge. She offered Maxy a more stable job, working for the Kortos Consortium itself. Maxy was given some discretion ferrying goods around the harbor and learned more basic navigation and business. While Maxy never made friends easily, she was loyal to any friends she did make, including the Kortos Consortium and all the opportunity it had provided her. In her new role, she ran into scrapes again from time to time with greedy thugs and learned what parts of Diobel had especially strong magic. Her talents her noticed and she was assigned to a special team of "fixers", a group of wild cards with special talents to handle some of the consortium's more irregular business. Maxilara is a broad-shouldered, tall woman (~5' 10") with tan skin and dark brown hair. Her hair and a tall collar almost completely cover her gills but they are easily noticed by a perceptive eye. She tends to smell a bit like fish from her frequent bathing in the harbor and she is averse to too much heat.
