Remember I Mentioned That The Unnamed Whaleshark Scug Had An Iterator Friend That Was Submerged Underwater

Remember i mentioned that the unnamed whaleshark scug had an iterator friend that was submerged underwater like a billion days ago in a tag?, this is she!! Her name acronym is DOTS and I think thats so cute for her. (I guess her alias is Drown ;;)

Obligatory sketch page under the break (+ more info on her???)

She was meant to be designed like her alt. Design, as a manta ray but slowly she turned more jellyfish-esque. Maybe I'll turn the draft into another iterator sometime.

Her structure is partially submerged underwater. Drown was built over a large water source. During construction, of which she was almost completed, perhaps due to an error, the legs of the structure collapsed. It caused her entire super-structure, her city and inhabitants above to plunge into the deep sea below. Those who survived were relocated to another city, and while attempts to rebuild/save her were discussed, no plans were ever detailed.

Some part of her still remains above water. She's still alive and does not rain as frequently as most iterators. Because parts of her are underwater, it does a decent job keeping most of her functions from overheating. However there are periods of time where she shuts off activity in some of her chambers to prevent from boiling the water around her. The area in her region is mostly foggy on account that her structure is not above the clouds, and while she may not always rain, she will produce some mist.

Drown is a veryyy late 1st gen iterator. Construction started maybe in early-mid 1st gen iterator era, but was dragged back and prolonged for various reasons (her location above/in water was inconvenient to build upon, for a time there were talks about relocating her entirely. Alongside the fact she started construction around the same time as Starless who was drafted upon ambitious goals and lofty expectations, and held more priority to completion). There had been great plans for her too, but the project was perhaps too big for the time it started in. Around when she collapsed (her almost completion) it would have already been around the mid 3rd gen era(around 30+ years or so).

Due to such a prolonged period of construction, there is definitely an amalgamation of old and new tech mashed within her. Which could explain why some things don't always function the way they're supposed to. The longer her construction dragged on, the less they cared about her... Even when her city was finally constructed, many of her inhabitants had moved in reluctantly. Her sight was already slightly impaired before her collapse but she never thought to ask for it to be repaired as that would just be another thing for them to throw into the melting pot, and she didn't need another reason to be scorned.

After her collapse, her vision is largely gone. She can perceive faint lights and shadows, but it mostly resembles that of heavy visual snow or static. Whaleshark scug brings her pearls and they accumulate in her can for a few cycles before she's able to start some of her functions again and read them.

There's probably a leviathan swimming around her structure...
