Sub SF design notes

design notes:


FLEXX JONES
30's female, thick with muscle and curvy, not video game pornstar. Medium greenish gray corpse complexion with lots of ritual scars. Dark smear of hair over mostly bald scalp, whiplike retractable antennae trail behind her in water, like thin bamboo. Eyes: pale to dark gray shot thru with purplish bruising. No pupils, When she focuses, the purplish bruising dialates:
-sketch: very creepy ECU of her eyes locking onto a target

Prominent cheekbones hold room for venom glands. Powerful jaws and overdeveloped neck like a bulldog, jaws like gorilla, huge chin, she can flex her teeth out through her closed lips, for intimidation

sketch: she has a 2-ton great white shark clamped in her jaws, transforming it into a zombie via her saliva -it thrashes mightily but her neck keeps it mostly still, it weighs her down but in seconds she releases it and it is now one of her undead minions:

zombie shark: (or any zombified victim) eyes now shine with new purpose, same mottled purplish like bruising. Body immediately starts withering, losing parts of torso/limbs/fins etc.
but gaining undead resilience, speed, and predatory cunning, along with appetite for flesh. Animal minions are mindless zombie servants. Human/intelligent targets require prolonged exposure and various 'treatments' -otherwise, toxins just wither and mark them with horrible scars.

Flexx can track those she marks with her scars.

Superhero-level strength, able to punch/bite/kick thru steel doors, etc, Overdeveloped jaws hold several types of fangs and molars. In full battle mode her mouth is a hideous display of dental work,
supported on a thick neck armored with bony plates. She can withdraw this back into her jaws instantly, silently. Can't speak clearly when fully toothed out, just standard zombie moans. Regenerates lost parts, heals fast when well fed. Combo of bioengineering and supernatural

Clothing: well worn flexible mesh armor in layers. Flexible knee-high lightweight boots with retractable swim fins. Pockets for random gear: zombieblood grenades, flares, waterproof maps.

Hands: black jagged talons on fingers, short enough to use tools. She does not carry guns/knives, her body is a weapon: Left hand has 2nd thumb, which is a spiked bioweapon that breaks off in a target, spreading her zombifying toxins, like a bee's stinger, growing back in seconds like lizard's tail.

Golden Gate Bridge: Pacific Fortress North
now a fortress seawall, border of Sub SF and USA. Hwy 1. is demolished on either side of the bridge (all roads into Sub SF are either cut off or guarded checkpoints) Cables are mostly replaced with other reinforced stuff, remaining cables are rusting uncoiled whips that ping against the bridge with a distinct haunting music. From bottom of bridge to below sea level, thick ceramic plates and rust-proof mesh armor form impenetrable barrier to ship and sub traffic. Bases of towers are sentry stations, tops of towers are airship docks with missile turrets and strange new weaponry, South tower dock is abandoned, hvy damage, cratered ruin from the war for secession. Former road deck is half gone, with chunks of random new armor and anchors for seawall. Traveling across bridge would require superhuman 'parkour' style acrobatics under the gunsights of overhead towers.

Orca ruler of Sub Francisco: Deepsinger

former human, bioengineered herself into an orca whale with advanced echolocation and telepathic powers. Can shapeshift at will back into human form

35 foot orca with pectoral fins that are also stubby arms: flippers are tipped with thick retractable fingernails, very human looking. Visible hand bones under skin, fins are highly dextrous like razor-tipped mittens the size of a small desktop. Dorsal fin is raked back, streamlined. Her eyes are golf ball sized, very expressive.
Her minions:

octopi: standard giant pacific octopus, trained as guard dogs. up to 2 meters fully outstretched. they carry balled-up nets and harpoon guns, they ambush by shooting out of tiny hidden spaces while shooting ink and unfurling nets with incredible dexterity and speed. Hundreds of them guard any particular area where Deepsinger is, emerging out of camouflauged tiny corners, swarming and displaying multiple spears/machetes /giant elyctroharpoon cannons requiring several octopi to use.

Moray eels: lesser sentries, they are genetic experiments with bioluminecent flashers to communicate.

Giant squid: evidence of hooked sucker marks on rusted steel... sequel.. living in an trench somewhere nearby
