The Grand OC! [CONTEST XXX: HALLOWEEEEEEEEEEN]

Redundant field to start off a truly redundancy-laden profile: Schazer, the person who submitted the profile for a character called Carmine-Beneath-Waves
Name: The-Carmine-Below-Waves, Royal-Insignia-Given-Form of the Court of Empress Levantine, by the Court of King Sirocco as a gift to the Court of Empress Levantine
Race: The-Carmine-Below-Waves is a magical beast created by the finest coralmancers in the court of King Sirocco.
Gender: The-Carmine-Below-Waves is a two-of-a-kind beast, created rather than born, with no sexual organs or prescribed role in society which would entail it have a gender. The appended statement statement following this explanation that this field is redundant, is, thus, redundant.
Color: The color of Carmine, a deep red hue of minerals, below the color of the sea, which is sea-green.

Description: The-Carmine-Below-Waves is a construct of a fearsome visage, sung from coral into the shape of a long-dead beast featured upon the East Sea Empire's royal insignia. The beast has the many legs and feelers of a shrimp, its eyes upon stalks (rendered in black pearls). It is about the size of a lion, with a thick mane about its neck made from black mussels. Its finer appendages are encased in metal casings, the rust worked in intricate patterns which illustrate ancient stories. It has a crown with the Empress Royal's insignia engraved on the front, embedded in the corals of its head. The Carmine-Below-Waves moves slowly even underwater; it drags itself along the seafloor with its many limbs. Its movement across dry land would be even slower, unless it submerged itself in water to give it some buoyancy.

Weapons/Abilities: The-Carmine-Below-Waves features a thick mane of mussels growing around its neck; heard undersea they issue a beautiful melody which becomes painful, discordant wailing when the Carmine-Below-Waves is taken out of water. The exotic corals which grow on its body exude seawater from no discernible source; this water when mixed with other fluids allows the seeds of more corals to germinate. The coral grows at its normal, extremely slow rate when submerged in seawater, but accelerates its growth out of water (and even more so when exposed to The-Carmine-Below-Waves' wail). Washing off an exposed wound in such water guarantees a painful death for any animal once the spores have entered its bloodstream. Corals which sprout off the Carmine-Below-Waves also leak polyp-saturated seawater.

Biography: The-Carmine-Below-Waves was created by decree of King Sirocco, as a gift to his sister Levantine, sung from finest coral as a living version of the beast emblazoning the Empress' royal crest. It arrived at her court with much fanfare and adulation, with its fine mane of corals and melodious roar, but escaped the palace grounds that very same night. Its handlers pursued it as far as one of the twisted, dead landscapes of the Knights, before giving it up for lost. The merciful Empress opted not to execute The-Carmine-Below-Waves' handlers, instead commissioning a new one, perhaps less inclined to wander, from the court of King Sirocco.

Several months later, the new Carmine-Below-Waves appeared on the steps of the Imperial Palace - but so did the original Carmine-Below-Waves. The awkwardness of this arrangement was mitigated somewhat when the original Carmine-Below-Waves vanished suddenly and without trace.
