OWL - The Occult Wildlife Landing
The Occult Wildlife Landing (OWL) is a nonprofit organization that advocates for the rights of supernatural creatures to live a life unmolested by humanity’s relentless spread and greed.
While OWL has become the de-facto head of the conservationist movement in the United States, many claim it’s not as innocent as it appears. A number of small, seemingly-disconnected terrorist cells wear the OWL insignia with pride. These groups– which tend to contain a disproportionate number of supernatural creatures and beings– commit high-profile acts of public violence with the intent of furthering OWL’s core objectives. In the past, they’ve blown up oil pipelines, stopped development projects, and even infected congregations of people with mutagenic viruses.
OWL denies any involvement with these so-called “OWL-inspired terrorist organizations” (or OITOs for short). However, many people conflate the two and consider OWL itself to be a terrorist organization.
One thing is for certain: when OWL sends a blast to its followers urging protest, they’re taken seriously.

Asking Directions
Rumbling along a highway deep in the night, she has taken many strange people into the plastic and steel of her vehicle. Sometimes a taxi, sometimes a boat, sometimes her truck.

Translation Prodigy
When activated, Niamh's already silver colored eyes briefly turn solid silver.
While speaking, she occasionally makes the correct sound but her mouth and tongue don't quite match. She may say a phrase slightly out of order, but it's still clear im meaning.
Listening to others speak she'll sometimes look deep in thought or distracted, which is to let her brain catch up with unfamiliar grammar or to distinguish similar sounding words from each other.
Reading and writing carries similar minor errors, misspelling a word here, making an odd flourish with a letter there. Always comprehensible though.
This gift can feel mentally tiring to use as it depends on connecting syllables into words, understanding the meaning, and using the correct grammar all at once. This comes naturally to someone fluent in a language, but doing it in an unfamiliar tongue and in both directions feels like trying to solve a sudoku puzzle without writing anything down.
Reading and writing in another language is easier, as it's natural to pause on difficult text.
