Signý's mother was a Tiefling who fell in love with an arctic fox, her father, in northern Norway in the late 1960's.  She was an only child and her family emigrated to the US in 1982.  Both her parents died when when she was 20 in a car accident.

Signý is a deep sea exploration specialist.  Her independence, expertise, and substantial success has led to her creating her own exploration company (and fleet of exploration and support craft) Ægir.  Doing this has afforded her the freedom to freely peruse exploration expeditions of her own, as well as serve as on-site consultation and logistical support on a contract basis.

Signý's primary residence is Jackson, NH, while Ægir's office and fleet are in Portsmouth, NH.

Signý is an MBTI ENTP.

Signý loves to question the status quo.  Arguing is like breathing for her, but not in the sense of being angry or arrogant, but rather that she loves to play with ideas and thinking through all sides of an idea or argument.  She is a natural devil's advocate.  This has served her very well in life as it has helped her to think outside the box, to find assumptions she or others are making that are going unchallenged and challenge them to see if they deserve to be assumptions in the first place.

This habit got her noticed early in her career when she was a sonar technician on a ship that was part of a group seeking the black boxes of Northwest Airlines Flight 85 in the Bering Sea.  In a full team meeting on the fifth day of the search she spoke up and challenged the assumptions of how the pilots responded to what the last transmission indicated was a possible rudder hardover emergency.  She had been reading about the rudder hardover events through the 90's that had plagued 737s, and while this was a 747 and in theory should have a better chance for managing (albeit with difficulty) such a failure, there were likely to be similarities.  Her questions sparked a discussion that led to a modified search pattern that in less than two day's time resulted in the successful location of both flight recorders.

At the age of 36 she risked everything, quitting her job and financing a bare bones expedition to locate the wreck of a steamship that went down in 1899, roughly 75 miles off the coast of Juno, Alaska, the victim of a strong storm that damaged the ship and drove her into the open ocean before she finally settled under the waves.  She was officially not carrying any gold, but the family of a wealthy prospector that was traveling on the ship maintained that he was transporting his entire multi-year hoard of recovered gold unlabeled (listed instead as his machinery) and in paranoid secrecy, some 30 tons (!!!) worth.

It was pure luck that she even became aware of the wreck while overhearing local fishermen talking about it while she was vacationing in Seattle, enjoying local beers.  From there her sleuthing lead her to the family, and toward a likely area where the wreck should be found.

Seventy days into into the planned 90 day expedition, and facing certain bankruptcy with failure, she located the ship, and two days later, the gold, $1 billion worth in 2014 dollars, which after her $2.5 million of expenses and loans, as well as sharing 10% to the family, she netted $897.5 million, with which she then founded Ægir.

Signý has always been self confident, but is always open to correction and challenges to her thinking.  She not only accepts challenges, but openly welcomes them.  As she tells her friends and employees, she cares less about being right than getting it right.

To relax she enjoys discovering, cooking, and creating new foods and drinks.  She loves movies and reading... stories in any form really, and while she does not get to read as much as she likes, enjoys maritime fiction, history, sci-fi, and some fantasy.  She also likes just having time to think and daydream / ideate.

Signý also enjoys tinkering with electronics, seeing if she understand and improve on existing designs, though she hasn't don't much along these lines for nearly a decade with her busyness.

She also enjoys tabletop games, roll play included.  This is another pleasure that has gone without much attention for far too long as her career has left her busy and now as the owner and operator of Ægir, without many play companions.

On a more personal note, Signý became increasingly lonely in recent years.  She loves what she does, and does not regret her career path, but at the same time she found herself increasingly wishing to find someone with whom she could be unguarded and wholly open with, someone with whom she could ideate and argue with and who would not get upset with that, and who enjoys debating with her, someone smart who can intellectually challenge her, someone warm and low maintenance, someone to share life with as partners.  She low-key despaired of ever finding such a person that was available at this point in her life.  Then she met Nipsey.

Signý met Nipsey when a friend recommended him to her to help with inspecting and updating her house's ancient and temperamental radiator system.  For Signý it was love at first sight.  He was gorgeous, and within less than half an hour as they talked about the boiler, the radiator system, and her thoughts and end goals, she realized that he was clever and smart af.  

At his second visit, where they intended to finalize their plans from before and decide if they were going to proceed, Signý asked him to dinner for later that evening.  Somewhat to her surprise he said yes.

Dinner started out a little quiet and awkward, but before long they were discussing the ethics of various oceanic remote sensing technologies as measured by their potential impacts on sea-life, and from there the pros and cons of various fuel-propulsion combinations of air and sea vessels.  Before dinner had arrived Signý could have taken Nipsey right there.  Any lingering doubts she had toward him were gone.  She loved and wanted him mind, body, and soul, and he seemed to be feeling similarly. (Narrator voice: Oh, he was!)

This occurred in early 2020.  Now they are frequently at each other's places and engaged, planning on getting married in Trondheim on December 21st (2021) when they are expecting to be finalizing local logistical support for their summer 2022 expedition in the Norwegian Sea. (What started as a joke about getting married on the winter solstice turned into an actual plan.)

Signý approached Nipsey about becoming her chief mechanic for the expedition late in 2020 as the plan was just forming. The expedition was born after she was contacted by the Avali embassy at the Amundson-Scott station about their desire to recover a scout ship that was lost a little over a century ago, they believed just north of the Faroe Islands.

The expedition was publicly to be looking to recover a lost early cold war US submarine for the US Navy.  The Avali were wishing to keep the mission quiet until well after the area was determined to be the final home of the ship or not.  

The Avali were concerned the increased exploration activities in the area could lead to the ship, if it's there as they believe, being discovered by corporate entities, which would put in jeopardy secrecy agreements they have with several governments since the early to mid 19th century.  These agreements are mainly valued by the terrestrial governments who kept the knowledge of the Avali secret from public until early in the 1950's, and would be embarrassed if information on the ship was discovered and released publicly without preparation.

The Avali were the first extraterrestrial contacts officially made with earth, and the governments were afraid of how the sapients of the world would react, and (likely more importantly) how such knowledge might affect the balances of power in the world.  It was not until 1952, when the Avali wished to establish a permeant presence at the South Pole, that the Avali were acknowledged publicly with much fanfare.

Nipsey has agreed to be chief mechanic, and is currently leaning the ships and equipment that will be involved with the expedition.

Signý hopes this expedition will also serve as a test bed for some technology she hopes to use for a future expedition she'd like to make to find the HMS Endurance.

Signý and Nipsy plan on a closed monogamous relationship.

Signý is dominant and Nipsey is naturally sub.  They very much enjoy having a playful and experimental attitude sexually.
