BASICS.

NAME. Madaléina Warren AGE. 18 ALUMNI HOUSE. Hufflepuff BLOOD STATUS. Muggleborn ORDER RANK. Low-Level FACECLAIM. Sirena Warren

PAST.

Born and raised as an Irish Catholic in Derry during The Troubles of Northern Ireland, young Maddy learnt from a young age that there are people who will kill you based on something you cannot control. Born and raised amongst a family of nine children, however, she also learnt that being different is a gift and not something you should hide. Being the same as everyone else, one of many, might make life easy, but it certainly doesn’t make life honest and good. This realisation came when she met the ghost of her aunt in the second-floor bathroom at Hogwarts – known as Moaning Myrtle; Maddy didn’t know why she was the only one of her siblings to have been granted magical powers, but she sure as hell – sorry for the swearing! – understood in this very moment that keeping a low profile like Myrtle had done fifty years ago would neither protect her life, nor change the world for the better. Thus, in the span of four years, she grew to be the most honest version of herself that she could possibly be: an Irish Catholic Muggleborn Witch with a love for superhero comics. Selling Muggle trinkets at Hogwarts (ranging from ballpens to comic books) she was known as the proud Hufflepuff who knew how to befriend about anyone. ‘Kill them with kindness’ became her motto, and while she still had a lot to learn regarding how to be as self-assured as she liked to present herself to be, she was, for the most part, succeeding in her mission to introduce Purebloods to Muggle culture, building bridges for those two worlds in ways she knew she’d never be able to do it for the English and the Irish at home.

PRESENT.

The cat who dragged her into the Order was Maurice Creevey and his radio show. Her “What do I possibly have to offer them, though?” was answered with a “Perspective,” and it was all she needed to hear to be convinced. Had he said ‘your wits’, ‘your optimism’, or ‘the stakes you have in this war,’, she would’ve declined and gone back home to her Muggleborn flatmates who have turned their back to the Wizarding World after graduating from Hogwarts. But he said: “Perspective”, and that was the one thing Maddy has always believed is in her range of capabilities. After all, she does have a different perspective on it all, and she is more than willing to teach people of this perspective, of her side of the story, to make them empathise and want to tear down the walls of cultural divide alongside with her. She firmly believes that everyone could be friends if they only understood each other, and she’s not afraid to grab her megaphone to have communication happen. Either way, she does not care for another war like there is at home, does not care at all for seeing more people she loves be killed by being shot in the back, the way it happened to her father in 1972. So her main focus right now (except finding an empty place in Diagon Alley to set up her Muggle shop) is to identify the more radical members of the Order and explain to them that they shouldn’t hurt anyone on behalf of the Muggleborns, or there will be direct retaliation against exactly those. And once she’s got them in her pocket, she wants to update the Hogwarts curriculum to educate Wizards about Muggles to finally end the divide – and perhaps even the Statue of Secrecy, one day.

CONNECTIONS.

DEDALUS DIGGLE: Funky Funny Man has a shop on Diagon Alley, and while Maddy absolutely despises Wizarding Candy, she wonders if the flamboyant (and very handsome) Wizard might want to give her a corner of his shop for her to set up her own. Just until she has enough money scraped together to buy her own shop. And if the poor Muggleborns entering this world had to suffer through ear-wax jelly beans, then it’s about time that Purebloods experience the greatness that is Muggle candy. MAURICE CREEVEY: Feisty Pretty Man is the one who attracted Maddy to the Order. His voice drew her in, his face made her stay. Who can blame her? When she asked him what the Order could possibly want from her, he said: “Perspective”, and it was what Maddy needed to realise that her whole thing about changing the world one kind deed at a time might’ve just found a home to grow in. Whether Maurice knows it or not, he’s become her mentor, and Maddy couldn’t look at him with any more heart-eyes if she were a cartoon. BENJY FENWICK. Once, Maddy would’ve considered Benjy one of her closet friends. Despite not being in the same house as one another, they bonded over Quidditch and spent as much time outside of the common room together as they could. Then Benjy got injured and came back to school changed. Suddenly, he was following her roommate (and world’s biggest annoyance) Dorcas Meadowes around like a little puppy. The fact that Dorcas pulled him into the Order shouldn’t surprise her, but she can’t help but feel a bit hurt this isn’t her and Benjy on this adventure together.

meet magdalene odell // welcome to serotoninhq.

the basics //

full name : magdalene odell nickname : maddy, mads birthdate & zodiac : 3 march 1983 // pisces gender & pronouns : cis woman / she & her sexual orientation: bicurious romantic orientation: heteroromantic occupation : 911 dispatcher, previously worked as a medical device rep. ethnicity: mexican ( including spanish, indigenous mexican/mayan and distant sephardi jewish ) & white hometown/birth place : atlanta, georgia (birth place ) & huntsville, canada family : demián cuarón ( father ), marion cuarón ( mother, deceased ), juliette cuarón ( step mother ), half siblings TBA julian odell ( son, 17 )

MEDICAL DEVICE, FRAUD, CORRUPTION, DIVORCE TW.

warren odell ( husband, trying to divorce, currently separated but not publically ) - NON PLAYABLE CHARACTER - warren is the owner of a multi billon dollar medical device company, the companies devices aren't as safe as they were initially presented, and the company itself is corrupt and filled with fraud. maddy distanced herself once she started unravelling the truth, and now she's hoping to work at keeping both herself and julian safe, while attempting to divorce and put warren behind bars where he belongs. warren is a relatively dangerous man, or i should say, his henchmen are. he cares more about his image and money than anything, and will stop at nothing to make sure his image remains pristine.

aaron kissel ( bio father of her son )

TRIGGERS MENTIONED: domestic violence, nothing in detail.

face claim: jessica alba eye color: dark brown hair color: dark brown glasses/contacts?: at times, mostly when on a computer. dominant hand: right height: 5′7″ / 1.69m tattoos: none piercings: ears marks/scars: most of her scars have healed, but she does have a scar from a key being jabbed through her hand during a fight gone wrong with warren, it’s not as visible unless you’re truly looking. she also has a couple of burn marks on her thigh.

positive: knowledgeable, quick thinking, charismatic & self-sufficient negative: struggles with focusing, argumentative, insensitive at times & reticent alignment: neutral good

deeper dive //

headcanons :

MARRIAGE - As a child, Magdalene always had a clear image of what a picture perfect wedding looked like. From the fairytales she'd read and watched, she couldn't wait until she had a big white wedding of her own. She kept scrapbooks, collected images and as a child, she'd even dress up in her mother's wedding dress. Something she'd managed to hold onto after all these years. Never did she think she'd fail at marriage twice in her life, but there's a part of her that looks back and wonders, if she hadn't had signed those papers, would her life be so much better? She wouldn't dare admit it aloud, but she misses Aaron, so, so much.

FAILURE - Maddy is afraid of failing. This is what often sends her into making quick decisions, something she’s working on.

favorites :

food - cinnamon rolls.

drink - coffee

movie - blind side

song - die a happy man - thomas rhett

color - blue-ish grey

SEASON 1 FINALE of The Couch Sessions Ep. 10 is up now! LINK IN BIO! • I am beyond excited to have had Maddie Medley in the studio to wrap up Season 1 of The Couch Sessions! For those of you who don't know Maddie Medley, she's almost too great to put into words. When you see her play, you see a timeless and haunting representation of artistry in it's truest form. Her lyrics draw every inch of you in closer, captivated by equal parts dreaminess and lucid reality. Her natural timbre always surprises me - as though I'm hearing a heavily treated and processed vocal, while it's nothing but her. I have to say her ability to bring music to brutal and dark parts of life is nothing but beautiful. I couldn't agree more with Bruce Warren (NPR) who recently said of her voice: "It's commanding and exhilarating, with a refreshing lyrical directness." Personally, I know Maddie to be a bubbly, sweet individual with an incredible heart. Being able to call her my friend is quite amazing, as she is nothing if not supportive and gracious to her friends. I cannot wait to see her career, as I have no doubt she will rise VERY quickly. Her debut single "Coming of Age" is out on Spotify now, go listen and join the more than 200,000 others (at the time of posting)! Follow her on Instagram for more: @strawberrydoom • Check out this week's video and hear the song “Jesus Moment” • Season 1 is a wrap! Stay tuned for Season 2 - COMING SOON! • Link in bio 🎚🎼🎬 • SUPPORT. LOCAL.

The Perfect Oceanographic Research Ship

[A post written on the last voyage, but did not send at the time owing to bandwidth. We are back home now and the next posts will be from our May-June voyage to the tropical Pacific abyss].

Attention, designers of oceanographic research ships!

Please find attached here some suggestions for your next ship. Based on experience that is biased towards sampling the biology of the seafloor, but from a reasonable sample size of 19 voyages on 12 different ships from 4 different nations.

I have kept a tally of the various voyages I have been on.

So, your (wealthy) government has given the green light to a new ship to fly the flag of science and exploration (only subtly tinged with that of your nation state), 200m USD+ are in the bank, you have a nice little scale model and a good boaty name.

What to start with?

Lets start with the colour, and the general look of it. Clean lines, dark navy hull with some stripes I think. Going to France for style points, we could do a lot worse than the L’Atalante, an attractive ship I sailed on in 2004. Is there a reason polar ships need to be bright orange? I can’t think of one.

Your flagship should look a bit like this. L’Atalante in 2004, Manzanillo.

And not like this. The Laurence M Gould at Palmer Station, Antarctica. (But I have a soft spot for it as the first ship I sailed on).

Moving on, lets think about the deck and the working areas outside. We normally just call this the ‘back deck’ but most ships have a bit of deck on the starboard side where you can also lower equipment to the seafloor. The ship we are on now, James Clark Ross (JCR) has this just right. Wooden decking to soften the noise of equipment and plenty of space to tie everything down. Key thing to bear in mind is enough room to install the launch and recovery system, and control vans for a big Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) such as the UK’s Isis. You will need a ship that is about 100m long to fit all this stuff in. Smaller is not really an option.

Lovely wooden decks on the James Clark Ross. Not for sipping G&Ts on.

You need to be able to fit one of these. The 6500m-rated ROV ‘Isis’.

One other key thing that almost every ship I have been on has forgotten to take care of: clean, filtered, chilled seawater system on the back deck. Every single seafloor biology expedition needs this, but its never there. We usually have to invent this with buckets, hoses, pumps, garden filters and running in and out of cold temperature storage rooms.

Deep-sea animals are used to temperatures of -2 to +2 °C, never more than that. Surface waters in most of the world’s oceans (where ships pull their seawater) is much higher, in the tropics as much as 28°C. Trying to photograph and keep alive deep-sea animals without cold filtered seawater is impossible.

Back deck of the Thomas G Thompson. Cold 4°C filtered seawater sieving in 28°C surface waters in the tropical Pacific. Yes, the entire (essential) thing is something we built with old pallets and stuff from Home Depot on the back deck of a 150m dollar research ship.

All of this mucking around with hoses is the only way to get this:

A live syllid polychaete that we have just dissected out of a deep-sea sponge on this expedition. Image credit: A Glover & T Dahlgren.

In an environment as poorly-studied as the deep-sea, live observation of animals, either from ROV or down the microscope is essential to any understanding of deep-sea ecology.

Which brings us to the inside of our Perfect Oceanographic Research Ship (acronym needed). Moving from the back deck, we come into the ship’s research labs, the vital heart of the vessel’s science operations. There seems to be two routes that designers use here. Firstly there is the ‘Rabbit Warren’ approach where everything is split into multiple labs. JCR is an example of this: Main Lab, Bio Lab, Rad Lab, Chem Lab, Underway Instrument Control lab - to name a few. All separated by heavy doors and narrow passages. Most other ships are also like this.

I am not a fan of the multiple-labs approach. Firstly, doors on ships are a complete nightmare. They are heavy, swinging objects that cause frequent injury and are impossible to open when holding a tray of samples (or Tea). Secondly, you can never find anyone. I can see an argument that some activities need to be split off, for example radioisotope work. But in general its not necessary.

Instead, our Perfect ship has one giant lab that runs most of the length of the ship, on the same level as the back deck. Its centrally positioned and low-down to minimise movement (e.g for microscope work). Alongside it, on each side, are electric sliding doors (operated by push button with your elbow when carrying sample trays) that let you into certain special areas (e.g cold-temperature rooms, -80C freezer room, -20C walk-in freezer, tea/coffee, rest room etc).

The first part of our Perfect lab is the wet area, nearest the back deck. There is drainage, a giant sorting table for dealing with animals and samples, plenty of sinks, hoses with fresh and cold filtered seawater, room for aquaria and anything splashy or muddy basically. Right next to it (through a handy sliding door) is a nice big warm room to hang wet deck gear in to dry off. There is of course, a heated rack to put your soaking gloves and boots on (ski boot racks would work).

Imagine something about five times as big as this wet lab. With good lighting so you can see what you are doing.

Some basic partitions and floor raises separate this wet area from the next part of our Perfect lab. This will be a general use lab with big long stand-up lab benches, plenty of shelving, racks and places to stow things. Its adaptable to almost any normal lab activity, whether microscope work, sample processing and so on. For dealing with nasty chemicals, a specialist room on one side is available with fume hoods and everything required. This is also where the walk-in freezers and cold-temperature rooms are located.

Going forward from this area, some partitions (but not doors) separate this main lab from the next section - the instrument control area. Here we have a giant chart table in the middle of the room, with a large flat display hanging next to it for bringing up images and data. A plotter is there that can bring A0 maps straight from the ships mapping/bathymetry systems onto the chart table. Along each side of this room section is instrument racks with all the onboard data systems (standard stuff like navigation, seafloor bathymetry, data from the standard oceanography instruments such as CTD, all the winch data, comms to the winch control and acoustic systems). There is plenty of space to stand around the giant chart table, look at the screens and discuss science and the plan. Aiding this process is definitely a coffee machine and probably a coke dispenser.

Beyond this instrument control area, a large and comfortable area is set aside as an open-plan office, but perhaps adaptable so can be used as extra lab space if needed. Plenty of nice seating, laptop plug-in points and so on. Its vital on a multi-disciplinary oceanographic cruise that everyone talks to each other and works together. This room could be nicely finished with a couple of large sofas, and another large screen which could be used to mirror ROV data, or watch movies in downtime.

Laptop space is a premium on the RV Melville. Yes, there is one person sitting on the floor.

So our Perfect Oceanographic Research Ship has a main deck in which almost all the science takes place. We will also need a large conference room from time to time, but these are not used that much and it can be tucked away on a higher level in the ship. Below this deck will be all the ship’s engineering (which I wont go into, but suffice to say its the latest technology and with a bit more power than you think you might need, for example to break sea ice).

Above is the living quarters for the scientists and crew and above that the bridge and associated rooms such as comms systems, radio rooms, offices for the master and ship’s officers etc. Needless to say, our Perfect ship will have high-bandwidth internet throughout. Its more essential than ever to broadcast live our results, engage the public in our science and have the ability to access internet to make decisions on the fly.

And so to the living quarters. This is pretty important - we can be at sea for up to 50 days, with about 50 people on the ship (typically, half scientists/technicians and half officers and crew). I think at this point, it could be said that modelling the entire thing on the James Clark Ross would be a good start. Its the most comfortable ship I have been on. The living areas are quiet, carpeted and cosy. Pictures from past expeditions hang on the wall. There is a lovely bar and saloon where we can get beers at the end of our shift, and tea/coffee at any time. Dining is in a saloon with white tablecloths, personal napkin rings (so we re-use a real linen napkin each day, they get washed once a week) and not a single piece of disposable cloth or plastic in sight. JCR was years ahead of the anti-plastic environmental lobby.

Dinner on the RRS James Clark Ross. Yes, there is a soup spoon.

A comfy cabin on the James Clark Ross. Thomas is being interviewed via skype audio with a Swedish radio station interested in our voyage.

There is a nice selection of single, twin or 4-berth cabins which gives the chief scientist quite a bit of flexibility in berthing. On this occasion, I share a cabin with Thomas, but its a 4-berth cabin just for us so we have plenty of space, our own bathroom/shower and even a sofa and a fridge to store the beers in.

I could not think how to improve it much, perhaps the only thing we miss from many years on US boats is a movie room with giant sofas. But then the US boats dont come with a bar.

Finally, and most importantly, our Perfect ship needs an underwater viewing dome. On the RV Melville, I had heard about this but thought it was a crew joke. But no, they took us down to the very bottom of the ship, and into a little pod that poked out of the bow, switched off the lights and opened the portholes to that great mystery of our planet - the pelagic seas - alive with bioluminescence.

The underwater viewing dome on the now-retired RV Melville. It really exists! All that it needs is a beer fridge and a sofa.
