Shane Sharkson

### Killer Style

I'm only wearing my scales. They are too abrasive anyway, any fabric will be holey in no time. I know some people dig that look but I try to keep it natural.

### Monster Quirk

I'm one of those altruistic yes-men. And a fixer. I just love to help people and bring smiles to their faces. I put others first and have been told that this isn't healthy in the long run. But I just can't help it.

### Favorite Activity

Entertaining people and make them laugh. That's just what I do best.

### Biggest Pet Peeve

People taking everything and themselves way to seriously. It's not that I stress out every once in a while as well but I like to take it with humor. Laughing is said to be healthy, you know?

### Favorite Food

Everything. Honestly though, I LOVE seafood. But I'd eat almost everything, especially if I don't have to take care of it myself.

## Biography

### Personality

How are they like? Character Strengths? Weaknesses?

### Appearance

Shane has grey scaly skin and wavy short brown hair His lower body half is one of a grey reef shark which makes his overall body surface rather abrasive than really slick as it would be for other mermaids who are part dolphin, whale or other fish. He has gills situated on his hips, an intimidating shark fin on his extended back and pointy fins for ears. His eyes are brown as well. Without the help of magic - or a wheel chair - he is unable to move on land. Breathing outside of the water is no problem due to his human lungs taking over whenever he is outside of the water (and shutting down when he isn't).

### History

Life before Monster High, Transfer Story, Introduction to Monster High (Or a different school)

## Abilities

* **rapid swimming:** As a sea creature native to the ocean, his movement in water can reach up to 25mph.
* **breathing air and (salt) water:** Having both lungs and gills he is able to breath on land as well as under water, as long as it is saltwater. He would suffocate in freshwater though, as neither of his respiration systems will work.

### Skillset

* **Comedian:** As someone loving to put smiles on other peoples faces and make them laugh, he developed a wide variety of humor for every situation. Some people accuse him of being unable to stay serious and thus, lack empathy, as he would also always joke in really dark and serious situations but humor is just his way of coping.

#### Deep Dive

Deep Dive is an online blog created by Nautilia Inkwell, dedicated to investigative journalism in and around High Seas High. Shane was immediately intrigued by her writing but also thought that her articles were missing some wit. Being a Fan of conspiracies himself, always trying to figure out whether or not they are fact or fishy, he asked if he could join the team and add his own two cents. He is now inclined to play the 'good cop' in investigative interactions and is the reason for the increase of humorous sarcasm and irony in some of the articles. Another colleague working on Deep Dive is Malik Ray. Shane is not quite certain what his actual role is but he enjoys his company nonetheless, sometimes even crediting him as his inspiration.
