Sea Change

**Debut** | TBA

**Sea Change** is the Simplicitrix/Stabilized Simplicitrix's DNA sample of a Carcharhinaturae Lususphyrnidae from The Modification Station. He is a free use alien made by Blake.

## Appearance

Sea Change is a seven foot tall alien resembling a hammerhead shark. He has blue skin with a lighter blue underbelly. He wears a dark grey and brown superhero suit with tan, red, and black details. He has gauntlets with glowing red markings on them. His hands have three digits each, and his feet are just fins. He also has a small tail. He has a red cape that splits open down the middle to allow his tail and dorsal fin to show through.

Sea Change wears the Simplicitrix on his belt.

Sea Change is often seen within a blue bubble of water.

## Personality

Sea Change is stubborn, though that is the most mild means of describing his personality. Like Mettlehead, Sea Change will put all of his drive into a single goal. Unlike Mettlehead, who will do whatever it takes to achieve that goal, Sea Change simply does the same thing over and over and over again in hopes something will finally go right. In his mind, it has to go right at some point, statistically speaking.

## Powers

* Sea Change manipulates DNA, and creates mutations in others due to this. These mutations are permanent until he actively changes the target back.
* Sea Change's long head allows him a wide vision.
* Sea Change has enhanced swimming, strength, and durability.
* Sea Change has sharp teeth.
* Sea Change can generate bubbles, usually for his own means of travel.

## Weaknesses

* Sea Change is weak to sodium chloride, as salt will cause him to shrivel up painfully like a snail or slug.
* Sea Change's stubbornness almost always leads to his downfall, which then increases his anger, making him double down on trying to do it his way out of spite, and thusly often ends up in a vicious cycle.

## Etymology

* Sea Change's name is a play on the phrase of the same wording, which refers to a profound transformation, while also playing off of "sea," as he is based on a sea creature.
* Sea Change's species name is a play on "Carcharhiniformes," the order of the hammerhead shark, "lusus naturae," meaning freak of nature, and "Sphyrnidae," the family of the hammerhead shark.

## Trivia

* Sea Change was the eighteenth in an experiment of having several people give attributes for a single alien, independent of each other, with Blake needing to figure out the design and the way all the powers could come together cohesively.
* Sea Change being a shark-like alien that often travels in a contained liquid of some form is similar to Reeferider and Snark Tanque.
* Sea Change's name is somewhat ironic, as he cannot swim in actual seawater due to the salt, and he refuses to change his methods.
* Sea Change's personality is a reference to Cinder Fall from *RWBY*. His species name also acts as a reference to the *RWBY* song *Lusus Naturae*, featured in the Volume 4 soundtrack and *RWBY: Grimm Eclipse*.
* Sea Change's outfit is a reference to Mysterio from Marvel. Mysterio's fishbowl helmet served as the inspiration for his bubbles.
* Sea Change's gene manipulation powers are meant to emulate the genetic technology made by Dr. Animo.
* Sea Change had two working names:
	+ GeneShark, paying off of "GameShark" and "gene."
	+ Metahammer, playing off of "Metahuman" and "hammerhead."
