xQuote: In the beautiful country of Israel, a sandstorm blew over the Dead Sea. But this storm never stopped churning. Though there's no wind, the sand continues to blow within its bottle, forming shapes with its grains only to destroy them again. A constant cycle of creation and destruction. Once it created much more than simple dust and dunes. It mimicked nature, creating splendid trees and towering structures, or figures that appeared to move on their own before crashing back into the earth. Now it seems to favor making small flowers or weaving intricate designs against the glass of its enclosure. K E Y . E L E M E N T S . A N D . I D E A S

xQuote: The hippocampus or hippocamp, also hippokampoi (plural: hippocampi or hippocamps; Greek: ἱιππόκαμπος, from ἵππος, "horse" and κάμπος, "monster"), often called a sea-horse in English, is a mythological creature shared by Phoenician and Greek mythology, though the name by which it is recognised is purely Greek. It was also adopted into Etruscan mythology. It has typically been depicted as having the upper body of a horse with the lower body of a fish.
-- Wikipedia Quote: By disposition, Hippocampus made for a secretive creature who lived deep in Poseidon's raging seas but never a vicious one. They never fed on humans but on plants found at the bottom of the ocean. Also, they are portrayed as extremely loyal, graceful, and agile creatures.

x  ✤ NAME :: Shoshana [ sho-sha-na | Hebrew | "lily" or "rose" ]
✤ GENDER :: Female
✤ ALIGNMENT :: Neutral Good
✤ FEL ESSENCE :: Perpetual Sandstorm
✤ SOUL :: Hippocampus
✤ POSSIBLE POWERS ::
{ sand } perpetual material | active
While unable to create sand from nothing, Shoshana is capable of generating more where there is something to start with. With even a single grain she can create an unlimited supply of sand to do with as she pleases. However, the less she has to work with the slower production will be at first – the rate grows exponentially dependent upon availability.
{ sand } sand manipulation | active
Much like the storm she originates from, Shoshana can create shapes in the sand limited only to her imagination. Giant sand castles, golems and trees, you name it! With enough focus and energy she is even capable of allowing them to move on their own, though they have no intelligence and only act on her command. These moving sand figures are short-lived and require more energy than she cares to expend on a regular basis.
{ hippocampus } water breathing | active
Shoshana has the fortunate ability to transition to being able to breathe underwater. However, this is not an easy transition, and is in fact highly uncomfortable and at times slightly painful to do so. Once the transition is made she can breathe for as long as necessary underwater, but has to make the same change when she wishes to go back to breathing air. This is a conscious change rather than an instinctive one.

x  ✤ NAME :: Alexis “Phoenix” Argyris
✤ GENDER :: Male
✤ AGE :: Thirty-two
✤ OCCUPATION :: Owner of 'Ambrosia', family restaurant in Durem.
✤ RACE :: Human; Greek
✤ LIKES :: Phsyical and emotional contact with others, hair product, playing games with his daughter, leafy greens, and small animals.
✤ DISLIKES :: When Zoe gets a booboo, horror movies, fast food, flaky employees, and being unable to satisfy customers.
✤ LOOKS :: Standing just shy of six feet and weighing 160lbs, Phoenix takes pride in his appearance. He boasts his minimal body fat to his friends, and always dresses sharp – usually slacks and dress shoes with a button-up shirt. Even when he's being “lazy” he only downgrades the top to a muscle shirt. He keeps his natural, almost silvery white hair neatly combed back into a low ponytail that hangs just past his shoulder blades, and he has joyful golden eyes set into dark tan toned skin. His black facial hair he keeps neatly trimmed to keep up his respectable appearance while still having a delightful amount of scruff.
✤ PERSONALITY :: Phoenix is happy all the time; he's social and charismatic. If it weren't for his bad pickup lines and going completely over the top with sweetness, he'd have no problem finding a girl. He thinks he's smooth, but it's as if he learned all of his moves from a bad 80's film. Alas, his daughter and his restaurant are his life. Not to say he doesn't try anymore, but he puts considerably less effort into developing a romantic life. He's driven, always improving on his restaurant, and busting butt to make sure everything is always done right and fast. The sooner he gets home to see Zoe the better, but he's not the type to leave early just because he's the boss. And if he is late, the babysitter lives conveniently on their floor. He's very family oriented. Every Sunday night he and Zoe visit his parents and brother for a home cooked meal. On work days he still cooks most nights and watches movies with his daughter, and on days off they often go to the park or zoo. Alone time doesn't appeal to Phoenix at all. He's a bleeding heart when it comes to his daughter. When she's hurt or sick, no matter how tough she is about it, he'll cry and worry incessantly. He dislikes anything gruesome or gorey, hence his aversion to horror movies. He'd rather something funny or theatrical.
✤ HISTORY :: Shortly after his family immigrated to Gaia, Phoenix was born to the Argyris family. They used their life savings to renovate a vacant building into a traditional Greek restaurant, 'Ambrosia'. Their life was comfortable, but always busy, and both sons learned to help at Ambrosia from a young age. The obvious choice for who to take over the restaurant when their parents got too old was Katsaros, the eldest. However Kat pursued a career in architecture, leaving Ambrosia to Phoenix. He was grateful.
He met Adriana, a hostess at Ambrosia, when she was hired shortly after his promotion to manager. His full ownership of the restaurant came after the birth of their daughter, Zoe, but Adriana had as much intent to stay with the family as she did the restaurant. She was too young to devote herself to that lifestyle, and left before Zoe turned two.
Zoe was five, and smarter, than she should have been, when she started asking for a sibling. Phoenix was nearing thirty-two. Originally he bought Zoe a pitbull puppy, Dionysus (Dio for short -- he will only be used in mention for the time being), hoping that would satisfy her request. It didn't. Fortunately they live comfortably in an upscale apartment in Durem, close to the restaurant. He had an excellent source of income, business was booming, and he seemed to have a fair chance with adoption. It was Zoe who first heard of the Lab from a classmate. She made up her mind on the spot, and Phoenix wants to oblige.

x  ✤ NAME :: Zoe Melina Argyris (frequently "honey/honey boo/honey bear/etc." from middle name)
✤ GENDER :: Female
✤ AGE :: Six
✤ OCCUPATION :: None; Student
✤ RACE :: Human; Greek
✤ LIKES :: Fish and reptiles, American Girl dolls, peanut butter and jelly, educational television, and getting to visit her dad at work.
✤ DISLIKES :: Nightmares, sticky messes, noisy kids, Phoenix's "bad 80's music", and cockroaches.
✤ LOOKS :: The spitting image of her father, Zoe was born with equally snow white hair that curls magnificently, which she likes to keep tied up in two corkscrew pigtails. She has long bangs which brush the lids of her eyes, which are large and golden (from whence her middle name meaning 'honey' originates) against her tan skin. She has a love for cute clothes, particularly with lace, and mary janes. She has a small build, a bit short for her age.
✤ PERSONALITY :: Zoe is (unfortunately) one of those children that you can't sneak anything past. She's smart, so if you try to pull the wool over her eyes she will immediately call you out on it. She's an intuitive child, and is not easily put off by strangers unless she feels something is wrong with them. If she thinks someone is okay, she is the furthest thing from shy. She's quite outspoken for a little girl, and always makes sure her opinion is heard. She understands a surprising amount for her age, which often leads to her dad forgetting he's talking to a kid. While she might hate the sound of her dad's music, she absolutely loves when he listens to it because they will dance and have fun for hours, so she's okay with it. Zoe also has the tendency to take her dreams very seriously. A bad one can mess her up for the entire day, and she always thinks good ones means something nice is going to happen.
✤ HISTORY :: Zoe does not remember her mother. She's seen pictures, but no one spoke much of her. Beyond her initial curiosity when she was old enough to understand that she should have a mother but did not, Zoe never cared to ask much about her. Since her dad (and extended family, of course) was all she had, that's all she cared about and just having him was always good enough for her.
Due to her no-nonsense attitude, Zoe immediately had a hard time making friends when she started school. It was then that she started voicing to Phoenix just how badly she wanted a little brother or sister. That way she could have someone to bond with, and teach to be more like her instead of loud, rambunctious and silly like the kids at school. She was happy to get her puppy Dionysus (while her dad calls him Dio -- she has no idea why -- she calls him Dino), but it wasn't enough for her. She's been bugging Phoenix incessantly about the Lab ever since her classmate mentioned it.

x✤ The Argyris family came from Oia, Greece. Most of the extended family still resides there and they make frequent visits as the majority of the family cannot afford to visit Gaia (nor do they have much interest in doing so). They try to fly out at least once a year.
✤ Additional, immediate members of the Argyris family include:
xx- Andreas Argyris [ aka: pappous | Phoenix's father]
xx- Iliana Argyris [ aka: yaya | Phoenix's mother ]
xx- Katsaros Argyris [ [ aka: Kat | Phoenix's brother ]
xx- Nadie Argyris [ Katsaros' wife ]
xx- Mai Argyris [ Katsaros and Nadie's daughter ]
xx- Silas Argyris [ Katsaros and Nadie's son ]
✤ Dionysus doesn't have any official artwork, but his coloring is as shown here. He is a slender-built pit bull.
✤ Snoof drew Katsaros! [x] [x] [x]
