Octo Greenseas

[Octo Greenseas]

Name: Octo Greenseas Race: Svefra Age: born on the 47th day of fall in year 486 (25) Gender: male Occupation Sailor/Fisherman/Laborer Appearance: Octo's long hair falls past his shoulders wild and unkempt, the way he liked it. Small beads and braids run through out his hair along with small copper trinkets adorn his curly locks. His dark blue eyes, squint one more than the other. A life on boats and shores has blessed him with a bourbon colored tan. his neck is almost non existent, his head seems to just rest on his shoulders. although not the most handsome man, when he smiles it is warm and welcoming. He was not very tall to his dismay standing at only 5'6" and although he had the build of a bull, weighing at about 230 lbs, he also had a cast iron pot of a belly that almost explodes out of his leather vest....he wears common but a bit baggy pants which barely stay his arms swollen with muscles from hard work at the sea. he had one tattoo of his best friend a Killer whale swimming in a vast sea. as his belly moves it gives an illusion of the whale swimming. Octo's Belly Tattoo Character concepts: Personality: Octo is for the most part a simple kind of Svefra he is traditional and family oriented. He is very loyal to his pod and would put them over himself in a heart beat. For a bull of a man he is very modest and almost has the mind of a child, though he does not mind hard work he needs to be supervised as he gets easily distracted and would rather play with small animals or drink until he falls asleep... Though he is usually friendly and and polite he can take offense very quickly even over seeming small things can be very offensive to him, such as making fun of his height or weight... when he gets angry he relies more on his fists than his wits. He is mainly just a huge lug with more brawn than brains. Religion: Like most of his kind he worshiped Laviku, it calms him when the seas become uneasy. Gnosis: Oceanus Mark 1 Tattoo: the seas flow from his back moving very slowly from shoulder to shoulder sometimes months will pass before the it will reach one end. languages Fluent Fratava basic Common poor- n/a Ethics: Octo has a very simple ethic understanding pleasure good pain bad..... but he does care about the people he is around and would go out of his way to see them smile and make them happy. he would rather not think about the philosophical consequences and would just rather follow instruction from his pod... or people who he trusts. He hates to see the weaker taken advantage of. Likes: Jokes even if he doesn't understand them and they crack him up... pretty women although he usually clams up....

Dislikes: Strangers cause he usually doesn't understand them, people who make him feel stupid. aggression, thunder storms or just plain loud noises, being made fun of, Big words, any task that takes more mental capacity other than lifting something heavy, being called late for a meal, hangovers, being swindled or cheated or his trust betrayed cause it seems to be easy, He knows his mind is slower than others and he hates it.

Weaknesses: Not intelligent, struggles on simple tasks, Loyal to a fault, does not think for himself, easily manipulated, Drinks too much. extremely self conscious, terrified of loud noises and easily distracted Character history: Born and raised on the Suvan seas As a baby Octo was always the most hungry out of all the others. His parents took pleasure in this, they were proud every time Octo would eat all the food before him cause they knew one day he would be a big strong Svefra and bring them much pride... but as he got older they became concerned he was growing but still struggling to walk, although he was a gifted swimmer at he still crawled and at the age 2, and when he spoke it seemed to be mostly grunts or just motions to his mouth..... at around 4 he was much larger than the rest of the children in the pod but was not as responsive he would mostly just gaze out into the ocean seeming to be lost in thought... His parents still loved him all the same as he grew... at around his early teens he preferred to play with the younger children who were more on his level. While the other boys were learning how to tie knots and other skills needed on a ship... it was much harder for Octo, The rest of the pod knew that there was only so much he could handle but he was good a menial tasks such as moving around cargo and crates. the other boys would make fun of him and pick on him he would constantly get in fights with the older boys... sometimes he would get licked other times he'd come on top... that's how he gained some respect with them. it took him much longer than the others to get the basics of working a ship but slowly he learned... he grew stronger and stronger but not taller.... at 14 he walked the beach alone and saw a young killer whale stranded on the shore. he ran quickly to its side "You big dumb fish why you gone done get yourself into" miraculously he he used all his strength and grabbed the whale by its tail and drug him back into the water.... His new best friend Dum Dum swam together and hunted through out his life.... He and Dum Dum would swim together constantly to the point where Octo could ride on the orca's back while holding tightly to its top fin, he even was able to go under water and ride him for extended periods of time. His later teens he still struggled with learning basic nautical terms but he was becoming a good hand on the ships he crewed. The pod loved Octo, he was always willing to help and work long hours, he was trustworthy. Everyone knew they could rely on him to get something done. Though on occasion Octo's attention would wander off while working and he would go run off to the sea and swim with his Tavan.... His excuse would always be "Dum Dum made me do it..." He was always remorseful about when his attention got him and trouble and would work twice as hard after.... His 16th birthday was coming up it was time to prove himself to the pod like others boys had to do, His trial was to go out and return something to his people.. He took his Tavan out and swam around for a long time well into sunset armed only with a net he found a huge school of fish. He cast his net out and dragged the fish back to shore where his Pod welcomed him and had a feast with all the fish he caught... that was the first night he had a drink of rum but it would not be the last... over the years he would drink more and more whenever his work was done sometimes at huge embarrassment for him, as he would constantly be found lying naked on the shore passed out in a stupor, Or getting in brawls with people over silly reasons Now in His mid 20's he works on a crew with his pod fishing and transporting cargo its simple work which is good for him, He enjoys the time with his pod. Still he sometimes looks out into the seas others have to snap him out of it as he gazes in the deep green seas as he seems to be lost. When he comes too he shakes his head and smile and goes back to work.. He still usually grunts rather than using full sentences and would rather let others talk for him. Every attempt to talk to a woman has been minimal at least he would like his own family but doesn't even know how to start a conversation. He is well respected in his pod but not given complicated tasks. Every so often he finds himself in a brawl still sometimes just for the heck of it.
