Anassa JaySeaBoom

JC Boom is one of the Organizers of the Game of Tomes, and part of our video team. She streams at https://www.twitch.tv/jayseaboom.

Anassa JaySeaBoom , The Cosmic Kraken, DoR, WRS

JaySeaBoom is the current Monarch, or Anassa, of House Mollusca. Once one of the Inkies, she rose to assume the House Leadership when The Cosmic Kraken Coffee Quills disappeared after The Third Word War (and is presumed dead) and their successor, Starborn Striker, was required to step aside from House leadership in favor of other duties. She, too, is a Werekraken, and her background is also mysterious. She was an orphan who found herself in the Zafforza Trench and among the Molluscans in her childhood, and does not know her family of origin.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

JaySea is very active and is in excellent physical health.

Body Features

JaySeaBoom displays features in her humanoid form that suggest merfolk ancestry, although there are some traits present which might almost be described as draconic. Despite these influences, she always has octopus tentacles, even in her humanoid form, like all known werekrakens. Although in her case, two of them become legs. Her skin shimmers and is adapted to a fully aquatic life. She breathes both water and air.

Identifying Characteristics

The Anassa's lavender skin has bright, attractive purple mottling that shows bioluminscence in dim light in her humanoid form. In octopoid form, her skin is blue with purple mottling. Her eyes are a bright, magenta purple, regardless of what form she's in.

Special abilities

Anassa JaySea Boom Ready for Battle by JC + HF
It is widely known that the Anassa is a Literomancer, particularly skilled in the craft of Water Literomancy. A new weapon was not the only magical thing to manifest following her coronation in October 2024. A unique seamare named "Mistral" adopted JaySea and became her familiar. Mistral can carry JaySea across the ocean's surface at least as fast as JaySea can swim beneath the surface in her kraken form. It is rumored that JaySea also developed a third form that can be quite intimidating. But we do not yet have confirmation.

Specialized Equipment

As Inky and Regent, JaySea carried a unique double-bladed axe in her humanoid form. Among the changes she experienced after her coronation, was the sudden appearance of a Nautilus Spear.

Personal history

Inky JaySeaBoom ready for battle by JC Boom (HeroForge)
JaySeaBoom first came to the attention of House Mollusca by getting into trouble. She was an orphan swimming around the Zafforza Trench, thieving to survive, and particularly difficult to catch.
  Eventually she came to the attention of the Cosmic Kraken, who figured she needed something productive to do. Initially she was recruited as a troubleshooter for Molluscan security. Delighted to be included, and given an important job, she became fiercely loyal to Coffee Quills, and eventually volunteered to become an Inky. She earned some renown in fighting the strange monsters that plagued House Mollusca regularly beneath the sea, and saw some action on the surface, keeping the monsters out of major estuaries.
  She had no idea what she had gotten herself into. The Third Word War was devastating for House Mollusca. While a valuable alliance was made by the Scion of the House, Starborn Striker, which led to Mollusca providing sanctuary for House Chiroptera after their Fall, the reinforcements did not save them when the Undead Horde came.
  Most of the Inkies, and Coffee Quills themself, fell to the Horde, including JaySea. Coffee Quills was forced to pass the power of the Cosmic Kraken to Starborn Striker before he was ready, to keep it out of the hands of the Undead.
  As JaySeaDoom, the Undead Inky was a menace to the living, particularly living Molluscans. She had a penchant for biting ankles, possibly influenced by FoxxWrither.
  Once resurrected, and returned to the sea, House Mollusca began the long and difficult process of picking up the pieces. Coffee Quills had disappeared, and was presumed dead; so had several of the Inkies. Starborn Striker was overwhelmed with dealing with his new powers, and Daciana Wolfkeeper tried to hold the House Regency for a time, but found it impossible to do so while guiding Scion Striker and protecting the world from the monsters of the deep. JaySea ended up assuming the Regency, largely because she was the only one left who could do so.
  As Regent, she participated in the action to raise power for the evacuation of the 1337 Speak Reality, and earned a Silver Medal at the July 2023 Literomantic Games, leading her house to win the Literomantic Cup. She led Mollusca through The Fourth Word War, providing refuge to other Great Houses until the Horde came, and Mollusca evacuated the Trench for the safety of House Chiroptera and the Cavern.
  In 2024, she represented her House with honor at the Tourneys and Literomantic Games, continuing to rebuild House Mollusca from the losses taken in previous years. At the urging of other Molluscans, including the Aster Prime, AngelNDarkness, and with the encouragement of the monarchs of other Great Houses, especially Queen Sable Aradia, JaySea underwent an ancient Molluscan process to become The Cosmic Kraken and be recognized as monarch, in October 2024.
  During The Fifth Word War, Mollusca was once again, the last House to fall to the Undead, and fled to the relative safety of the Warren. Over the course of that war, JaySea experienced unexpected developments of power, attributed to her ascension to Cosmic Krakenhood, when faced with serious opposition.

Mental Trauma

JaySea is used to being self-reliant, having grown up without a family support system. Therefore, she is probably coping with the current situation she finds herself in better than most. She struggles with uncertainty and self-doubt, though her ascension to Cosmic Kraken seems to have improved this. Nevertheless, she often overthinks things before a making a decision, and feels the perceived rejection of allies very keenly.

Social

Reign

June 2023-present

Family Ties

The Anassa's Consort goes by simply, "Mr. Boom", and functions as both JaySea's personal chef, and as bodyguard to the child they share, a young Literomancer known as Little Boom.

Religious Views

JaySeaBoom has no formal religion, but she has begun to maintain a small ancestor-shrine in her home in honour of Coffee Quills.
