Chulu

Chulu is the main protagonist of the Tribulations of Chulu series. A Half-Snail Dragon and Half-Human she is an unusual individual who although adventurous, is also still naive of the world beyond Outpost Gamma, her home and often seeks greater knowledge.
==Appearance==
===Age 15===
Chulu is a Snail Dragon and Human Hybrid, as such she shares traits with both species although physically looks closer to a human. She is a bit shorter than the average human of her age and has dark pink hair with cream coloured tips, although her hair is long, it curls, a trait she inherits from her mother. Chulu also has for "Super Keratinous Growths" on the back of her head which are sensory organs from her Snail Dragon-side and are highly adapted hair follicles. Her pupil is white while her iris is purely yellow. She also has a small tomial tooth on her upper lip a likely adaptation of the Snail Dragon's beak.
Chulu has a small frame with a general lack of muscles, likely a result of her Snail Dragon DNA clashing with her Human DNA. Chulu's thumbs also only have a single bone in them instead of the two found in humans or the complete lack of a thumb in Snail Dragons. Although not normally visible Chulu also has body markings which are likely the luminous cells of Snail Dragons running up her arms and legs. Despite being half Snail Dragon, Chulu completely lacks a tail.
Chulu typically wears her long garb, a specialized piece of clothing that she likes which is a hybrid of a long sleeve shirt and a dress, she also tends to wear dark trousers and shoes. Chulu also wears a distinct "Mini-Poncho" which covers her shoulders part of her upper arms, the mini-poncho has a blue colouration to it with upward facing triangles lining the rim.
==Age 22==
As an adult, Chulu's appearance changed somewhat, due to her hybrid nature Chulu is a fair bit taller than average humans although still comparatively smaller than fully-fledged Snail Dragons. She wears a tattered variant of the robe she wore when she was younger although given the different design on it this appears to be a new one. In addition she wears a different collared piece of clothing rather than her shoulder-length poncho although the colouration remains the same. Interestingly the new collar features the Diamond, Spades & Clubs symbols on it. Chulu's lower clothing is also more properly shown where it's revealed that she wears a lunar-styled long sleeved shirt and matching jeans, the shirt contains two long pieces of fabric which jut out from the elbows and hang downwards mimicking her mother's kimono, Chulu also wears dark heels.
Chulu's hair is also noticeably darker than when she was younger with the originally distinctly pink hair giving way to a more pink-purple colouration with streaks of bright pink and bright purple through particularly on the tip of the hair. The spikiness of her hair when she was younger also seems to have disappeared with her hair being much rounder at the tips most notably with her crown wherethe previously four long spines of hair have changed into two large bulbs. Her curl has also shifted to the right side of her face although coils the same way having a more complex pattern, in addition her hair overall is much longer nearly reaching her ankles although it's unknown if this is intentional or just because she can't be bothered to get it cut. Chulu's eye colour has also become more orange as she's gotten older and as a result of an accident part of her iris was damaged giving her a "C" shaped iris on her right eye, it's believed the colour changed to her increased usage of magic.
==Personality==
Chulu is the explorative type, often hoping to go out and visit new places or learn new things. From a young age, Chulu showed a keen interest in understanding her place in the world, being from two vastly separate cultural backgrounds and growing up in an environment where many cultures overlapped with one another she became fascinated with the stories of travellers from distant worlds speaking of their homes with a sense of longing and intrigue. Although she wasn't able to travel far from Outpost Gamma due to the restraints on her life, Chulu still found two avenues to explore her interests, delving into the libraries of information about various species kept on Outpost Gamma and when her mother, Galea, would go on trips to distant worlds Chulu would come along hoping to explore and experience the worlds she read about.
Although knowing a great deal about other worlds, Chulu is still a greenhorn when it comes to living in the galaxy in general, Outpost Gamma's distinct environment often makes her a bit surprised when she does visit other planets seeing what life is like and finding it having developed completely differently to how it is on Outpost Gamma. This also extends a bit into her attitude towards conflicts as Chulu is often easily swayed and at times can be indecisive in her actions sometimes acting half-heartedly if she has a sense of doubt or curiosity about a situation.
As Chulu has gotten older her experiences with searching for the Arg'Noktra have exposed her to many scenarios leading to her developing a more determined and fierce demeanour, she tends to express the importance of keeping others safe and has an extremely protective nature sometimes being described as a "demon" by her friends when threatened. That being said however, Chulu is still rather naive for her age, this coupled with her determination in scenarios can often lead to Chulu reading a room poorly and ends up relying on her raw strength to handle scenarios.
==Relationships ==
===Galea===
Although their relationship has been (literally) more distant than when she was younger, Chulu manages to keep in frequent contact with her mother, often sharing her experiences and making periodic visits back to the station in-between whenever she learns of a new page of the Arg'Noktra. Generally Galea expresses concern over Chulu's actions although hasn't ever outright contested Chulu on collecting the pages believing she's capable enough to handle whatever is thrown at her.
Galea also seems to act as a bit of an emotional anchor for Chulu, often whenever overwhelmed following a situation, Chulu will break contact with her friends and head back to Outpost Gamma. Although not having a full understanding of the Arg'Noktra's power, Galea seems to be knowledgeable enough on it to help Chulu recover when things become overly serious.
===Monu===
Considered partners in crime (figuratively), Monu is one of Chulu's close friends and also a bit of a rival to Chulu although unable to match Monu in combat. Monu often turns up to help out with any lost pages recognizing the dangerous power they hold when not contained within the Arg'Noktra. She is the most supportive of Chulu's friends when it comes to collecting the pages both for the simple act of keeping them out of dangerous hands but also out of a more selfish desire to find someone strong enough to fight her seriously in battle.
===Stiltana & Brynyn===
A pair that Chulu met several years ago, Chulu remained in close contact with Stiltana and Brynyn periodically visiting them on their spaceship as they travel the galaxy. The duo often provide Chulu with information regarding detected pages of the Arg'Noktra, helping her to more easily track down the pages whenever they turn up. Although not extremely adept at battling, Stiltana and Brynyn have helped out Chulu from time to time with collecting pages. When they're not busy the trio often tend to hang out visiting Rogue Asteroid Outposts when they can actually catch them.
===Judge===
The relationship between Chulu and Judge can best be described as confused, Judge is one of the only people that Chulu seems to repeatedly come to blows against whenever attempting to gather the pages of the Arg'Noktra and although Judge rarely speaks on the matter he seems to have the same goal although for unknown reasons. Judge's strength is substantial and often whenever the duo get into fights, he more often than not is dictating how the fight will proceed, strangely though Judge seems more hesitant to actually hurt Chulu, and has on occasion encouraged her to seek out particular pages.
===Helluva Bodacious===
Helluva is a strange individual and perhaps even more than Judge is the person Chulu can never figure out. Turning up completely randomly throughout her journeys, Helluva seems less concerned about the pages of the Arg'Noktra and although has never expressed it outright seems to just want Chulu and others to chill out. Often pulling them away from collecting a page, Helluva is a distraction, usually at the best times. Chulu is not even sure what sort of relationship they're meant to have having asked Helluva what he thinks of her with him responding to the question with whatever he feels like although it's uncertain if this was actually an intended response as Helluva was in a lethargic state at the time due to being tasered.
==Abilities==
===Generational Magic===
Being a Snail Dragon (at least partially), Chulu has Generational Magic, inherited from her mother. As a member of the Rhutelli Dynasty, Chulu received a form of magic known as Beach Party Magic which manifests itself into various aspects of a Beach Party. Chulu herself is still inexperienced with the magic although has a fair grasp on the basics being proficient in generating Sand Castles which are able to move about and function. She is also capable of creating Umbrellas out of thin air, although has little use for the ability.
Over the course of her first game, Chulu manages to acquire several new forms of magic which are altered by her Generational Magic into a variant of Beach Party Magic;
*Sand Castle - Chulu's default magic which allows her to create Sand Castles out of thin air
*Seagulls - Morphed from Banshee Scream, allows Chulu to summon homing Seagulls
*Soaked Towels - Morphed from Fluidic Twist, allows Chulu to someone towels which behave like whips
*Super Buckets - Morphed from Mental Flip, allows Chulu to create giant Buckets containing mysterious contents
*Sun-Tan - Morphed from Immolate, allows Chulu to create psuedo-suns which have an explosive effect
*Rock Wave - Morphed from Water Burial, allows Chulu to summon literal waves of Surf Rock
===Later Magic===
As Chulu got older and collected more pages her abilities with Magic became more advanced and varied, although was eventually identified to suffer from Magical Instability as a result of the sheer volume of magic she'd acquired over a short period of time, in effect Chulu's magical abilities are often hampered by her state of mind and whenever she collects a new page of the Arg'Noktra this seems to wipe out her understanding of most magic forcing her to re-learn the various schools of magic again, fortunately the Arg'Noktra itself also manages to expediate this process and having catalogued the various forms of magic she's used Chulu tends to pick a few favourites from the book to re-learn each time.
Chulu's Beach Party Magic remains her main form of magic and is unaffected by the Magic Instability since it's hard-coded to her DNA. Most notably however is that over time the magic matured and centralized around what Chulu has referred to as the Rubber Ducky Army which is a specific strand of Beach Party Magic that summons animate pool toys, in Chulu's case, most often manifesting as giant rubber duckies.
====Mea Maximus====
Mea Maximus is Chulu's special summon, a bit of an oddity given her Snail Dragon heritage who are rather infamously incapable of summoning. As such Mea Maximus is also a bit of an oddity himself having his own ego separate from that of Chulu and is capable of independent thought. Mea Maximus' physical manifestation was the gradual development of Chulu's magical abilities, initially appearing as an imaginary friend to her when she was much younger, Chulu mistakenly believed that Mea Maximus was just a part of her subconscious as she got older although eventually managed to manifest him physically for the first time when she was 20.
Mea Maximus can only be manifested when Chulu has complete focus and is sometimes referred to as the Imperator of the Rubber Duck Army due to both his appearance and often being used alongside Chulu's other magic spells to wreck havoc. Mea Maximus is generally incredibly durable, possessing incredible physical strength often helping to offset Chulu's own lack, his biggest weakness is extreme heat which physically melts him.
