Merling Gen's Appearance

## Physiology

Gen is a merling coming from the warm waters of the mesa. He takes on the appearance of a Lionfish, although the skin doesn't show it. Being the only merling as well as the only water dweller, it's often lonely, but gives him freedom of the water and its contents, which often provide him riches. He struggles out of the water, only having seconds before he starts to drown, however he received a helmet from Jolt that allows him a few minutes of exploring.

He's taller than most of his companions, at a whole 6'2" (174.96 cm). He's a skinny, yet semi-muscular man, having spent his whole life exploring the sea. Being a merling, he has both human and fish features. He has scales on his face, shoulders, arms and back, leading all the way down to his tail, which is striped with red and while. His back has fins the same as a Lionfish, which are the same as the ones on his tail. His hands and feet are both webbed, allowing him easy passage through the water. Gen's limbs have a black gradient that gets progressively lighter the farther up it goes. His hair is white with a grey undercut, that's often dripping over his face when he's out of the water. With red eyes the more light, and black the less, his stare can get a bit creepy at times.

He has a large scar across his face that now one quite knows where came from, as well as some large scars across his chest that come from his first time out of the water. Being that it's not his native place, he's pretty clumsy. However, he has gotten better and is more capable with his movements.

He's also hard of hearing, almost on the verge of deaf (since the player who plays him plays without sounds).

## Personality

He doesn't like to follow rules.

Being able to do whatever he wanted for his whole life, he's not used to this sudden restriction. He'll break the glass of the tank if somebody is standing in front of it, especially if that person can't touch water, namely Eshi and Silver.

He can have a bad temper, especially when he's in the tank.

## History

He met Jolt and her small Piglin friend Eshi while he was exploring shipwrecks in the area. The two of them came out of a nether portal nearby onto a small island. Eshi begged to keep him and the next thing he knew he was in a tank inside their home. He's able to go explore, but the moment he takes too long Jolt and Eshi will go running after him. At the end of the day he always ends up in the glass tank.

On his days out, he spends his whole time digging tunnels through the island. Never legal, they branch out all over, and most people can't follow him down because of the depths. The Sheriff has drowned several times attempting to follow him down.

Since he has been 'kidnapped' he hasn't gotten to know many people on the island. And the few he has have been scared of him.

## Items

-An iron helmet enchanted with Respiration III. It has the same affect above water as it does for others below.

-7 buckets. The number can go higher or lower, but it's usually around 7. Especially when he's making tunnels or exploring the island.

-A constantly full inventory. Whenever he dies his items explode everywhere, and it's never the same items.
