THE RISING SHORES
Ferris was a teacher in Annapolis, Maryland and watched the beautiful white highways of his homestate disappear beneath the encroaching seas. For a time, he traveled, teaching anyone who would be taught in the ways of traditional academics. Although Science is his specialty, he can teach just about anything to a certain level. 
Mr. Ferris has a strong aversion to violence and he would prefer not to fight; however, he began fighting nontheless. Originally, he fought to protect children, their education and to help fund his teaching.

Mr. Ferris is extremely loyal to his friends and will do just about anything to help a kid in need.
