Name: Sebastian Lockleer (Answers to Seb or Sebby depending on familiarity) Age: 23 Gender: Male Race: Human/Merfolk hybrid Nationality: A cluster of large islands in the Northeast that have united under the banner and name of "Aqueous" Personality: Sebastian is, for the most part, a man of even temper and patience, both of which have been honed from years of hunting. He can be a bit crude and blunt in the way he interacts with others, however this is more so from the fact that his people are big on expressing their opinions straight up rather than from him simply being rude for the sake of it. Being a hunter, Sebastian is a firm believer in leaving nothing to waste, and can in fact become somewhat irate should a person willingly waste food or other resources in his presence. Sebastian is remarkably good at working with technology, however he rarely ever shows it. Sebastian cares deeply for his brother, and often tries to act as a barrier between him and whatever happens to piss Jacque off at the time, be it for the safety of the object of Jacque's ire, or Jacque himself. History: Sebastian was born in the easternmost island of Aqueous where the devastation and violence of the war had been minimal due to the savage storms and rough seas making the island difficult to reach. The humans that had settled in this land had long since formed a strong bond with the merfolk natives, so much so that crossbreeding was viewed as completely normal between the species, and many buildings were designed to allow the comfort of both species. Sebastian is one such example of crossbreeding, being the son of a human engineer and a merfolk hunter. During a large part of his childhood Sebastian's father attempted to get him involved in engineering as he wanted his son to have a stable and prosperous future. The boy took these lessons well enough, however he never really liked his father's line of work, and instead fell in with his mother, choosing to make his living by taking in the bounty of nature. Upon reaching adulthood, Sebastian had grown tired of the island life, and decided to take his chances out in the world, hopping from place to place for a few years before he found himself trapped in Eurion thanks to the civil war. He's been stuck in place for a few months now and has kept a roof over his head by hunting the local wildlife and selling their pelts, meat, and bones to pay for lodging, though he's eager to find a way to stop the war so he can continue his travels. Weapons: A collapsible harpoon and a thin but surprisingly durable exosuit that enhances his strength and reflexes; it uses nanotech to expand or shrink around the user and takes the form of an armband when in standby mode Equipment: His suit, harpoon, a large bag with two changes of clothes, and a skinning and filleting knife Powers: Superhuman strength and agility (about on par with say, a jaguar), *protogills Appearance: [hider=In his Exosuit] [img]http://th02.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/i/2015/044/9/2/___sf_wyv_35____by_wyv1-d8htlb1.jpg[/img] [/hider] [hider=Out of his exosuit] [img]http://th09.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/i/2013/060/f/5/___exo_ex_07____by_wyv1-d5wltuj.jpg[/img]. [/hider] He stands at 6'0", has green eyes, and his incisors and lateral incisors are triangular and slightly serrated like a great white shark's teeth would be. **His half merfolk biology means that he lacks the true gills that his mother would have, instead he has several gill like slits below his jaw line that can take in some oxygen from the water around him. He can use these protogills to stay under water for roughly an hour, but after this he absolutely has to surface. Think of it like the reverse version of an arapaima, which have protolungs to let them come to the surface and gulp air in oxygen poor water. -- Name: Jacque Lockleer Age: 26 Gender: Male Race: Human/Merfolk Hybrid Nationality: Aqueous Personality: Jacque is a less than friendly individual. Post concussion syndrome brought on by years of repetitive blows to the head have left him with frequent headaches and disturbed sleeping patterns, making him near constantly irritable. Where as Sebastian generally avoids conflict, Jacque relishes it and won't think twice about attempting to cripple or outright kill an opponent. He's not really one for conversation, however unlike his younger brother, Jacque knows precisely whether or not he's being offensive when he actually does open his mouth to speak. He's quite protective and proud of his brother, however Jacque is not the best at expressing fondness which leads him to become frustrated and lash out as a coping mechanism. History: Jacque's life started out more or less the same as his brother's did, with the notable exception being the career path his chose. Rather than hanging around his mother and his father to pick up on their trades, Jacque took to a more combative field to suit his tastes, one that offered a more expedient way to make money. This is to say, he became a freelance fighter, taking part in all manner of fights, some legal, others, not so much. Through the years he honed his skills, picking up many different techniques as he traveled in search of greater foes and monetary gain. Things continued like this for quite a while until he ran into his brother in Eurion and managed to get himself stranded there as well. He's been sticking to the underground fighting rings to make his cash.
