Ni'hele
Character Information
History
Like Mo'nique of Posidonius, Ni'hele was exiled from the undersea kingdom when her sonic abilities were discovered. After several months of wandering, she was found by a search party of the Victoria Landsfeld Foundation lead by Dr. Amandine Laird and offered to return with them to Paragon City.
Abilities
Ni'hele is a mutation of the standard Posidonian race that affects approximately 1 in 1000 members, primarily males. She can project ultrasonic sound waves in the 25 kHz—100 MHz range, which is known in Posidonius as "the Voice."
The Posidonians can otherwise communicate via infrasound (0.05 Hz—20 Hz range) or audible clicks and hisses.
The "Voice" is culturally considered a great honor if the recipient is male but a source of shame for a female. Once a female Posidonian has demonstrated this ability, the usual retribution is exile.
