History: Like most invertebrates, this squid was alone since birth and spent his time drifting in the open waters either exploring or hunting for food. Being a drifting species, He never had a home or family to return to but such was the life of a rapidly growing squid- colossal one at that.
In his own solitary travels, Marin found amusement in discovering new places or seeing different creatures; the ones that wouldn't scurry away at his presence. He never felt a need for romance or family; he never felt a need for such things
Life was simple...save for escaping other predators every now and then. Of course, there came a time where fish were scarce. Marino was left slowly drifting, hungry and tired-weak enough to become prey.
Marin had the misfortune of drifting into a sperm whale in his weakened state. It was a fight too close for anyone's liking but he narrowly escaped becoming dinner; with deep pin-like scars on his mantle(shows up on his abdomen in human form).
In his escape, Marin washed up on a beach close to civilization where he was found by the Aquarium director.
While he did not originally have a 'name' he went with Marin; he often overheard fishermen refer to him.
Perhaps this new life in the aquarium could be a new start...
Extra Info:
- He cannot fathom why his animal form tends to scare small children visitors.
- He never opens his eyes fully unless its necessary (ie. trying to find something in the dark)
- The tentacles that show in his human form have small rotating hooks just like his animal form. However, Marin just uses the tentacles as extra hands when needed in human form.
-Marin can hide them under his beanie when necessary.
-'Marin' means 'of the sea'.
Roleplay:
I can do both script and lit. rp -though I prefer script rp in a chatroom.
