Characteristics
Personality: He is extremely laid-back and, at times, lazy. He is in a good mood most of the time, but it rarely shows. He tends to be very sarcastic when asked or told something pointless, or for that matter, something useful. If he feels the current subject is important and that he knows a lot about it, he can be extremely intellectual and will contribute what he can.
Other than that, there are few things that can get him active.
Likes: water, Marine Life, Tacos, Lolcats, Fighting, and, when not observing, eating, or performing the aforementioned items, sleeping.
Dislikes: pointless information, Necromancy (He strongly believes that the dead are dead for a reason, and should stay that way), Spam, Flames, being awoken from sleep, and angry, conceited people.
Background:
Abilities: Manta is amphibious; he can thrive in water and on land. On top of that, he is quite adept at the art of Kickboxing, despite his âSave-it-for-laterâ attitude. The Fish-Man is very devoted to his training.
Backstory: the Fish-Men are an extremely small tribe of
people who live underwater in a great lake outside the walls of AG. There are only about 20 of them. Each one is named after a species of aquatic creature, or has a name similar to that of an aquatic creature. There are some more slick and attractive names, such as Moray, Octorus, and Sting. Some less⦠appealing names include Cuttlefish, Hag-eel, and Angler. Tradition says they will be named after the first Animal you see when they are born.
Manta is generally well-respected in his tiny village, with no enemies. His father died when he was an infant, during the troll wars. So, he helps support his single mother while finding time to not do anything.
In his culture, Manta means âhe who is destined to make an attempt at greatness and maybe fail, but hopefully succeed. Hopefully succeedâ Thus, the way of moderation contest will theoretically fulfill that destiny.
Sorry itâs so corny⦠I tried to put in as few mary-sues as I could... but, honestly, I only have a vague understanding of what those are.
