Ni'hele
Character Information
History
Ni'hele was a Seer-In-Training in the undersea Kingdom of Posidonius, but like Mo'nique of Posidonius before her, Ni'hele was exiled when her sonic abilities were discovered. After several months of wandering, she was found by a search party from the Victoria Landsfeld Foundation led 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.
As a potential Seer, she was able to learn the basics of the English language. She speaks in a crisp and clear voice, with only a hint of foreign accent.
