|| ... Biography ... || Name: Dylan Meaning: Welsh for 'Sea' Personality: Dylan can be quiet. No, he's not shy... it's just that so many times he feels that no one else has any worthy thing to say. Because of that, he sort of has a hard time making friends. Usually, he is not quiet, and actually has a lot to say, especially if he thinks someone is being what he might term as 'stupid'. He tries to be civil, not to mention when his lazy-streak comes into play. When it does, he can be a whoot; but sometimes it just does not work. He actually smiles and laughs, oh noes! Loyal to the core, Dylan will stay by the side of any friend. FavoritesColor: Blue Food: Fish and Jellyfish and sushi 'Toy': Socket Wrench Pasttimes: Engineering and Cooking Music: Baroque

|| ... Slug ... || Species: Glaucus atlanticus
Order: NUDIBRANCHIA
Suborder: AEOLIDINA
Family: Glaucidae
Glaucus atlanticus and its close relative, Glaucilla marginata, live in close association with what Sir Alistair Hardy described many years ago as "The Blue Fleet" - the siphonophores such as Physalia, Velella, Porpita and the other associated animals including the "Violet snails" of the genus Janthina. All these animals float on the surface of the ocean being carried by the currents and the winds. Most of us are only aware of their existence when days of onshore winds blow great fleets of them on to the beaches, causing pain and angst for swimmers.
Both species spend their life floating upside down in the water, partially bouyed by a gas bubble in their stomachs.
The two nudibranchs feed almost exclusively on Physalia, and as Tom Thompson and Isobel Bennett reported some years ago, it appears that they are able to select the most venomous of Physalia's stinging nematocysts for their own use. Like most aeolids, they store the nematocysts in special sacs (cnidosacs) at the tip of their cerata .
There are a number of reports in Australia of kids engaged in "Bluebottle" fights - where they throw stranded Physalia at each other - being badly stung by inadvertently playing with Glaucus and Glaucilla, both of which, by concentrating the most venomous of Physalia's nematocysts, are much more deadly.
Another interesting feature of the two species is their colouration. They both exhibit a textbook example of colour countershading. Their foot and undersides of the cerata, (which because they float upside down is effectively their dorsal surface), is blue or blue and white which helps to camouflage them from predation (sea birds) from above. Their true dorsal surface, which faces down in the water, is silvery grey to effectively camouflage them from fish looking up from below.(Wikipedia)
Glaucus atlanticus, also known as the blue sea slug, is a nudibranch of the suborder Aeolidina. Its distribution is throughout throughout the world's oceans in temperate and tropical waters. G. atlanticus preys on the Portuguese Man o' War (Physalia physalis), Velella velella, the Blue Button (Porpita porpita), and the violet snail (Janthina janthina).
With the aid of a gas-filled sac that is located in its stomach, G. atlanticus is able to stay afloat at the surface. Due to the location of the gas sac the blue sea slug actually floats upside down. The dorsal surface, actually the foot and underside, is either a blue or blue-white coloration. The true dorsal surface is completely silver-grey. This coloration helps protect G. atlanticus from predators from both below and above.
G. atlanticus is able to feed on P. physalis due to its immunity to the venomous nematocysts. The blue sea slug will consume the entire organism. After consumption it will select the most venomous nematocysts and use them as a defense.(Symptoms) Helpful Field Guide"A sting from one of these nudibranchs is not unlike that of the coelenterate itself." (see below) A large number of cnidarians can produce painful and dangerous stings to humans. The characteristic stinging cells or nematocysts consist of a minute capsule within which is a coiled, barbed tube. When activated, this barbed tube penetrates into the victim and acts as the conduit for the injection of venom. Millions of nematocysts maybe present on the body of a single cnidarian. Some jellyfish can be extremely dangerous and can kill a person in only a few minutes or less. The sea wasp (Chironex fleckeri) is considered to be among the most dangerous of marine animals. Similarly, the stings of Man-O-War (Physalia physalia) can produce extremely painful and debilitating stings. Symptoms associated with stinging are highly variable and can range from mild irritation and rashes to severe pain, systemic shock, and death. Other symptoms are known to include headache, abdominal pain, general discomfort and muscle cramps, chills, fever, nervousness and hysteria, diarrhea, vomiting, and cyanosis. Lesions and welts are common at the location of the sting. Although most lesins dissipate within a few hours, the skin may remain reddened for a day or so.

|| ... Living Quarters ... || Dylan lives in Room 25... and it is a mess! When someone walks in, they see they have entered the world of a mad-man, or and inventor. I guess it would be both. This rosin likes to create. Scattered around are objects of his imagination. Granted, none of them are finished. This is because he gives them all to Sparks so he doesn't break any rules. Most of them are made with metal, but some are wooden... and is that a mostly-completed puppet in the back? He doesn't have many books -as the Law of Consumption states, but the ones he does have are very large indeed. They are obviously used a lot as their covers are worn and cracked. It is strange to see cooking books mixed in with them. Unfortunately, it would be too disturbing to have half-finished meals laying around, not to mention unsanitary. Everything else is surprisingly organized. Besides the papers and partially-finished inventions, everything else is in its exact spot and sparkly-clean. His clothes are all put away, as are his posessions and so forth.

|| ... Gifts ... || Christmas '06 :: Secret Santa
To: Dylan
Special Message?: In scrawling yet painstakingly printed the words: "Two Dylan, I hope you have a wunder gret Happy Holiday and a very very fun new year. Love Ora" is written on a small card attached to the wrapping paper.
Gift Wrappings: The wrapping paper covered the bulky looking item almost entirely secured with clear cellotape as if the wrapper didn't want these to come out... ever. The wrapping paper was a pretty blue and white snow scene with a snowman covered in robins and such. There were musical notes surrounding both birds and snowman. A small hole had been torn in the package but that had been covered with even more tape making the spot seem to shimmer.
Gift Description: Two pairs of arm warmers in blue and white. One arm warmer looks like it was started off a little funny as if someone who didn't know how to crochet has started it but the other three looked well made. There were even small holes in the side to let out any fins that might get caught otherwise, each closable by a small blue button.
