Author Games: Path of the Guildpact

Simic One: Shark Finn

Name: Shark Finn

Guild: Simic

Race: Merfolk

Age: 14

Gender: Male

Appearance: Shark has messy red hair and sea-green eyes with freckles. He is rather small in size although he stands out significantly in a crowd. His hair is one thing he never stops complaining about, along with his height. He claims that it is the 'wrong colour', as most people of his race have blue hair so that they can camouflage easily in the water. He has a playful trademark smile plastered onto his face and eyes that never stop glowing with childlike mischief.

As for his marine side, has gills which are like slits on both sides of his neck and a blueish-green tinge to the colour of his skin, similar to that of his sea-green eyes. His arms are decorated with grey, reptilian scales in an intricate pattern, covering just enough skin so that he can use them as a shield.

He also has dorsal fin which is constantly pressed down by the clothes he wears, like how he is constantly being suppressed by others' expectations of him. They see him as someone who can represent their guild well with his creative and quick-witted personality, but he wants to stand out and be different, which society simply won't let him. Akin to how he feels uncomfortable when wearing a shirt, he felt trapped when his guild selected him.

Personality: Shark is very easy-going and not one to bear grudges. He sees no point in them and as a daredevil, he loves exploring new things. He can never resist the urge to try something out, even if it is fatal and is afraid of almost nothing. What his guild thinks that gives him a chance of winning is his creativity and quick thinking, because of his age. He can think incredibly fast on his feet, although perhaps his determination might hinder his winning chances. He has absolutely no wish to win this and only went because of guild pressure.

On the other hand, he loves the water which is hardly surprising because of his heritage. He is a strong swimmer, perhaps due to his unique dorsal fin on his back which gave him his name. He also enjoys the feeling of water trickling down his back. He wishes his hair could be blue, the colour of water instead of its current one that compliments his fiery soul well. He has tried numerous ways to change this but hasn't come up with very promising results...yet.
