Windrush is an aguamodo: a human with aquatic augmentations. She's a ship and port inspector, a proud member of the ILWU 122 (the International Longshore & Warehouse Union), and a mom. She has skills in inspection and healing. She also coaches underwater hockey at her kid's school.

Bio:

Gillian Phong was born to Linda Phong and Melody Beridze in 2191. Linda was an aguamodo conservationist and documentarian, and Melody was a ferry pilot.

From an early age, Gillian wanted to be an aguamodo. She took swim lessons, got her scuba certification, and began breath and heart-rate training as an adolescent. In her teens, a friend of her mother Melody began taking her along on offshore windmill inspections. Soon, she added to her love of the ocean a fascination with the industries that took place within it. She went on to get her bachelor's degrees in Oceanography and in Supply Chain Infrastructure. It was during this time she met Sogobe, who she’d marry three years later in 2112.

Before she’d even graduated she’d started apprenticing with the longshoreman, and by 2114 she was a proud journeyman. She then applied for the union’s Martian cultural and tech exchange program and was accepted. She and Sogobe spent 27 months sailing out, working in Utopia Basin, and sailing back. This was where they met and fell in love with Amir. It was also during this trip that she trained as an emergency medic with the Mami Wata Medical Network.

In 2118 she gave birth to Aquemini, and in 2020 Sogobe gave birth to their second child, Hueiwoo.

Thanks.

I really think that successfully creating a backdrop that lends itself to interesting characters with fascinating family histories is both a major goal of good world building and the best litmus test for it.

I think Windrush demonstrates this perhaps the best of any of the premade characters.
