Appearance

• Skin Tone: Smooth, aquatic blue, with a faint sheen that catches the light like wet scales. Slight mottled darker patterns across his body, particularly on his torso and limbs, giving him a natural camouflage-like texture.

• Eyes: Solid white and pupil-less, glowing faintly in darkness, lending him an alien, unreadable gaze.

Head: Prominent head fin running like a crest from his forehead back over his skull. Sharp, angular facial features — high cheekbones, pronounced brow, slightly ridged nose. Gills visible on both sides of his neck, flaring gently when he breathes.

Arms: Sleek and muscular, with thin, fin-like ridges extending from his forearms/wrists. These flex slightly when he moves, helping him steer underwater.

Body: Lean, swimmer’s build with defined musculature. Torso patterned with natural aquatic mottling, almost like the spots of a fish or amphibian. Posture is upright and commanding, giving him an almost noble bearing despite his alien look. Hands/Feet: Webbed fingers and toes for propulsion. Nails are darker, hardened, and claw-like in shape.

Costume Integration: Wears a fitted, green-scaled bodysuit patterned to resemble fish skin (blending well with his natural coloring). Golden belt, gloves, and boots accent his heroic aesthetic, contrasting with his alien appearance. Costume material appears flexible enough for swimming but armored enough for combat.

Overall Vibe: Otherworldly but regal — somewhere between a deep-sea predator and an Atlantean knight, commanding respect even out of the water.

Weaknesses & Limitations

Physical Weaknesses

Dehydration Vulnerability: Prolonged time away from water dries out his skin and gills, weakening his strength and dulling his senses. On land for too long, his powers (especially hydrokinesis) begin to falter.

Saltwater Sensitivity (Mutant Quirk): Unlike his kind, his mutation makes him more sensitive to extremely concentrated saltwater (brine, industrial runoff, or desalination byproduct). Acts like acid on his skin, leaving him in pain and disoriented.

Pressure Imbalance: Though adapted to deep sea pressure, rapid shifts (such as being blasted suddenly from the depths to the surface) can leave him disoriented, nauseated, or even unconscious.

Extreme Heat: His body is adapted for cold oceans; high-heat environments (volcanoes, deserts, fire-based enemies) quickly dehydrate and overwhelm him.

Dependence on Hydration for Healing: His regenerative abilities are significantly slowed when away from water. Severe injuries on land may leave him vulnerable until he can submerge.

Psychological Weaknesses

Identity Crisis: Gilbert doesn’t remember his life before 1876 and constantly questions if his people abandoned him or if he was exiled. Manipulators can prey on his longing for belonging or his guilt about being “different.”

Trauma from Exploitation: His time in the sideshow left deep scars. He reacts strongly to cages, tanks, or attempts to restrain him, sometimes lashing out in panic or rage.

Protective Instincts: He feels an almost compulsive need to protect marine life and those he considers family. Enemies can exploit this by using hostages or threatening the ocean itself.

Alienation from Humanity: Despite being raised by a kind fisherman, he still struggles to connect with human society. Social isolation and mistrust can make him reckless or unwilling to seek help.

Fear of the Abyss: His fragmented memories suggest something deeper in the ocean — a throne, a voice, or an enemy. Part of him fears returning to the deepest trenches, where he suspects the truth of his exile lies.

Situational Weaknesses

Reliance on Water for Power: His hydrokinesis is weaker in arid or enclosed environments without access to water sources.

Magnet for Exploitation: Governments, corporations, and scientists see him as a living specimen. He must constantly avoid being captured or studied.

Unstable Brumation: While brumation kept him alive in the glacier, in modern times if he’s trapped in extreme cold or deprived of food for too long, he risks involuntarily slipping back into hibernation.
