He has a thin, lean yet muscular body type, and light blue skin. He has noticeable pink webbed fingers, and purple freckles on his gills. Along with that, he had a large, axolotl tail that grows out of his tail bone. On his finger he has long vibrant pink claws. If this is for aesthetic or for defense is up for debate. He is 6 feet tall.

He has a large scar across his chest, origin is currently unknown.

### Former Appearance

Used to be a giant, axolotl like sea monster with hundreds of rows of sharp shark teeth. Would adorn himself with gold and jewels.

His previous mortal form was similar to his current one, but much larger, reaching 8 feet in height. He used to be very muscular, with broad shoulders and a thin waist. Tattoos depicting the ocean used to cover his skin.

### Clothes

Umber wears a dark blue water proof cropped top and shorts under his clothes. On his neck he wears a dark purple collar and two necklaces made of jewel beads and a shark tooth. He wears similar jewel beads around his hips, above his loin cloth and skirt. On his feet he wears two bracelets of pink beads and sandals. He wears multiple bracelets made of string, beads, and shells on his wrists.

## Personality

Selfish, smug, and overly confident. Umber still believes that he is living in his former glory, though that isn't the reality. He's cold and calculating, but he can easily be swayed with promises of wealth of lavish gifts. He also have severe anger issues, that lead to often violent outburst, which can take the lives of the creatures around him if he becomes too frustrated. He angers extremely easily.

Still, there are other sides to him. Umber can be seen talking about how he feels worthless, which implies a severe lack of self confidence. It's unknown if he has always been like this, or if it was caused from loosing his God status.

He also has a kinder side to him, admitting when he needs help from Harper, calling Sugar and Slick cute, confiding and venting to Valeca and giving gifts to Willow while visiting Shroommusalem after calling her attractive. He seems to not know how to talk to women.

He has little to no respect for mortals, treating them as pets at best, and pests at worst. He can be seen multiple times telling mortals to know their place, and views himself as above them.

When it comes to his own feelings, he's very dense. He doesn't like to show any weakness in front of others, but actually seems to be scared of a lot of things, and an overall very nervous person. Yet he does his best to hide it well.

He's very insecure, effected by insults to his appearance easily. This can be showed when Seraph and Mila called him a "twink" and "incel". He seems very protective of his image to others, and does his best to see attractive yet scary despite him claiming that he doesn't care what others think. It seems like it's easy to get under his skin if you poke at the right scars.

## Backstory

Umber was born to an unknown Water God and Sky Goddess, and is the eldest out of all of his siblings. He was raised to become the king of the sea. His childhood isn't well documented, but his adulthood is.

As an adult he took his place on the Throne of the Sea, gaining the ability to become a ferocious Sea Monster. During his years as King he murdered countless people mortals and gods alike, including his own demi-god children to attempted to take their place on his throne. He acted without mercy, only thinking of his best interest and desires. He could be swayed though, and would allow safe passage through the ocean in return for lavish gifts and prayer. Without that, however, you where extremely likely to end up either lost at sea and die of starvation/dehydration, or be eaten alive by Umber.

Soon, mortals and gods alike where tired of his reign of terror, so devised a plan to place his younger sister, Lee, Princess of Seafoam, in his place. A war broke out, destroying numerous civilizations with his massive waves, but after a 100 year war, he had lost, and was banished to the core of the earth along with any of his followers.

Within the core of the Earth he was forced to endure feeling his body wither away for thousands of years. From his skin lush plant life formed, from his Bones, rare fish and axolotl's filled the caves his body left behind, from his blood, water nurtured the perfect environment for underground life. He became smaller and weaker with time, becoming wrapped in glowing vines and almost completely dying. That was until mortals began hurting the environment around him, weakening it enough for him to escape his prison and claw his way to the surface. Exhausted and traumatized from the ordeal, he created a small cottage on an abandoned island and began trying to live like a mortal in peace.

## Current Story

He was unable to be left alone like he had intended. Within a week, people began visiting his home. Some offering allyship, others being a pest. Still, he stayed secure on no longer wanting to be a god and just be left alone.

However, when Wilbur J Shroom left a bulletin board outside of his door, Umber became manic, confusing him with the former Mushroom God, Fyr who participated in both the 100 year war and Umber's Exile. He went to murder him before Fyr could hurt him, and discovered that Wilbur was just a mortal with a similar appearance to the former god, who had taken Fyr's former island as his own and created Shroomusalem Wilbur, though confused, tried to create a new ally. Umber seemed uninterested and openly mocked and threatened him. During his conflict, he murdered Blitz, Mila's pet axolotl, claiming that it was a horrible demon and mockery of life. Valcea rescued him before Mila could murder him in vengeance for her pet.

In an attempt to drain Shroomsalem and Carrion financially after deciding that there disrespect of the divine, pollution of the ocean, and necromancy, he Harper, and Valeca set up the God's Essence company. Once there shop was established, the three of them put on disguises and claimed themselves to be "Bumber, Baleca, and Barper". This disguise worked on most people, except for Gormino and Seraph. While opening the shop they met Mr. J Boom, who Umber assumed was just Wilbur trying to trick them. After some prying though, Umber quickly realized that while yes, this is Wilbur, something seemed to be wrong with him. Taking advantage of this weakness, he had Wilbur sign a Soul Contract, binding him to Umber's soul as an enternal servant. Mr. J Boom cannot deny or disregard a command from Umber if he beings the sentence with "I command you to \_\_\_\_". Mr. J Boom seems to be unaware of this influence so far.

While selling God Essence's products, they made a decent profit before meeting with Gormino, who had taken down there shop. They offered the four a tour. Umber seemed sick to become sick around the presence of oil in the air and water, falling, developing a cough and claiming he couldn't breath. Covering his head gills with Mr. J Boom's turtle helmet claimed to have stopped this reaction. They where then able to enter the oil rig, where Gormino gave them a tour to his office to "talk business." Realizing Gormino wasn't as stupid as the rest of the inhabitants of Vempora, Valeca and Umber took of these disguises and descended below. After a long talk and debate, Gormino agreed to stop dumping his oil into the ocean and instead find a safe location on land to dispose of his waste. While leaving Gormino's office, located in the Plane of Dreams, Umber was killed by Arnold the Pufferfish, an employee of Gormino. He woke up in Churro's office, and ran back to make sure Valeca and Mr. Boom had escaped safely. While they where having there meeting, Mr. Boom blew up the hallway to Gormino's office, and Umber left with Valeca to leave it to be cleaned up, saying he needed to face the consequences of his actions, as Umber never told him to blow up the TNT.

Valeca and Umber then went to the safe house at spawn, where they talked about what Gormino had said. Particularly, that Umber came off as a dick due to referring to things by there species instead of name. Valeca revealed they agreed, but didn't wish to upset his liege's feelings. Umber apologized and promised to just call them by there name (which Umber had been pronouncing wrong this whole time).

After getting a note from Seraph inviting him to put a shop in his country, Umber and Valeca met at Snish. There they found Mila interacting with Ereshim, and entered the church to converse. Ereshim explained his history to the young ex-god, and agreed to give him a tour of Snish as Seraph. Mila revealed that she had received a letter from Umber's Twin sister, Lee, the current sea god, and Valeca and Umber pinned her against the wall to find out what Lee said. Mila revealed that she couldn't read the letter, because Mila was blind, and it wasn't written in brail. Umber let it go after Seraph demanded no blood be shed on his ground, out of respect of the other, much more powerful and higher ranking, God. They got a tour of Snish, where they saw Willow, Sugar, Berry Boi, and Mr. Boom towards the end of there stay. Willow and Umber talked while Valeca stood near and scowled, The group making fun of Umber for being an "incel" due to his inability to talk to people he was attracted too. He revealed in his past life he had six wives, and one husband, and therefor could not be an incel. He left in a huff with Valeca, venting and ranting about how he was still just as good looking as he was in his previous form, but didn't really seem sure. The words of other's seemed to effect him deeply, and he began questioning if he was really ugly. Valeca denied it, and Umber confided that he cared about Valeca. Valeca admitted to until this point, manipulating Umber. Umber admitted he was aware, and was doing the same, wanting a wealthy and well educated man on his side, even if it was thin. They agreed however, no more lies, and became friends.

While Astral Light was hosting a party, Umber made outfits for Harper, Mr. Boom, and himself, to show there affiliation to each other. Before the party, Umber invited Mr. Boom to live across the water from him, suggesting they call there new home "The King's Isles." Mr. Boom agreed. At the party, Willow and Umber walked alone, Umber asking Valeca to stay behind so the two could have there space. Valeca seemed upset about this, but allowed them to be alone anyway. While Willow was giving Umber a tour of the village, she brought him to her house to tell her something. Unaware that her house was a Lush Cave, Umber went along. However, upon entering, he panicked, screaming at Willow to stay away from him, and that he wouldn't be captured again. Valeca rushed at the sound of his yells, and calmed him down from his episode, assuring him that he was okay, and that no one could hurt him anymore. Feeling guilty for upsetting Willow, the pair searched for her, finding her in another Lush cave. He took a deep breath and rushed in to look for her, calming her down and promising her he wasn't upset. Later in the party Willow had confessed her love to Umber, which Umber seemed unsure how to reply, stuttering awkwardly. Eventually he agreed to date her, though when she said she loved him, Umber couldn't bring himself to say the same. Being in previous marriages, Umber thought he was incapable of feeling love, as he was an entity who existed only to be feared. Willow kissed him on the cheek and Umber gave her a kiss on the lips, taking her first kiss.

After that, Mila had Mr. Boom read the note written to her by her brother infront of everyone. Mr. Boom, only know learning how to read, struggled to read it. With Umber's help, they got through the book, where Lee insulted Umber, calling him weak and powerless. Seething, Umber quickly left the party, taking Harper, Mr. Boom, and Valeca with him. They discussed a possible war against Carrion as they walked home, and by the end of it, Umber invited Valeca and Harper to make homes besides him as well, if they desired. Both agreed, and the group split up into two's. Umber and Valeca went to his basement, where he made himself a mockup of his old throne out of gold, diamond, and amethyst.

Valeca remained quiet at first, unsure what to think, Umber bringing him into his basement so they could talk. Valeca gave Umber a book containing the whereabouts of the Chimera, promising to show him the location sometime. The two sat together on the arms of Umber's basement throne, quietly discussing what had transpired and how they were feeling, Umber eventually coming to the realization that they had fallen for him, Valeca admitting the same. Both admitted they had never been in a relationship like this before after each placing a kiss on the other's hand before going back upstairs. There they met Mr. Boom and Puro , who seemed happy to hear the two admitted there very obvious feelings for each other, and teased them on there reletonship. After inviting Valeca to stay the night with him, Umber placed a bed down for him across his room, later having to set one for Puro and Mr. Boom who wanted to join there "sleep over." Eventually the pair took the hint and left, leaving Valeca and Umber alone to have "S-E-X". Umber admitted that, despite having multiple spouses, he had never slept a night with another person in the same room. Though concerned, Valeca confessed they hadn't either, parting with the words "Sleep softly, and dream the sweetest dreams."

## Relationships

**Partner**

**Valeca**: Deeply in love, even if he didn't see at first, Umber would do anything for Valeca. Though he wishes Valeca began to treat him as an equal, he still adores being around Valeca, and wishes to be around them at every waking moment. The only person who Umber claims to not become quickly exhausted from, and instead, gets energy while being around. Valeca takes care of him, and protects him from threats, even if Umber is reckless and thinks that none of these mortals can hurt him. The only person he's showed things more then surface level weakness around. He's told him his insecurities, his secrets, his fears, his dreams, and everything in-between. Calls Valeca "his knight" and seems to believe that Valeca will keep them safe from harm so they can live together forever. Though he has shown concern of Valeca dying of old age, Umber reassured both himself and Valeca that when he gained his God hood back, he would make Valeca immortal so they could rule together forever.

**Willow**: Umber trusts and enjoys Willow's company, but her kind demeanor and love of everything quickly tires him out. Despite kissing her and accepting her confession, Umber quickly realizes this was wrong, as he is in love with Valeca. There status of their relationship is currently unknown, though Umber plans to break up with her as soon as possible.

#### Friendships

**Harper:** Though not knowing each other long, Umber does truly like Harper, despite being too embarrassed to admit it, and sees her as his equal. He thinks she's a talented artist, smart merchant, and kind person who he can lean on. However, to keep up his front of being the cruel and higher Sea King, he claims he sees her like a "dog.", this however, can be seen as not true during there interactions with each other.

**Virtue:** Umber's therapist, Umber sees him as very wise and respectable.

**Mr. Boom:** Despite starting out just manipulating him, Umber clearly loves him. He burned up his soul book, and now is allowing Mr. Boom to call Umber his "father."
