Height: 5'9ft / 175cm

Appearance:

Personality: He is highly intelligent, who also relies on logic and reason. He is quite calculating, always one step ahead, always plotting and planning. He is always on the defense and aware of potential threats and weaknesses, whether to use against others as blackmail or for himself. He is charming and eloquent with his words, a sugar-coated tongue, easily able to manipulate and persuade others to his benefit. He has a benevolent demeanor. He is shrewd and savvy in creating contracts with people. He is incredibly determined and hardworking, always learning and looking to expand his knowledge. He appears composed, but he is deeply emotional, ambitious, and passionate, especially if it is something he believes in. He believes he is always right, even when he is so very clearly wrong. He will gaslight someone into believing that they are wrong, and most of the time, it works. He is polite and the upmost of a gentleman, respectful to everyone regardless of who they are or how they treat him, though he is not above using underhanded methods for subtle revenge.

Likes: Trying knew things. He is always open to trying something he isn't familiar with, especially if it is a good business opportunity. He also doesn't mind getting his hands dirty with work with hands-on experiences to gain better knowledge of how things work. |

Dislikes: Relying and believing in luck, he perfers to be in absolute control of the outcome. | Naive and super sweet people, he finds them obnoxious to be around. It is off-putting for him, and he can't help but find himself cringe. | Children, he doesn't like kids, but that could change, but he was bullied as a kid, and he can see how mean children can be. Plus, he doesn't exactly know how to deal with children other than either giving them food or a coloring book. |

Strengths: He is a smooth talker, easily able to talk his way out of everything. He can come up with lies on the spot, make them believable, remember each one, and be absolutely both charming and apologetic if need be. | He is a savvy businessman, able to make everyone happy. He is a bit of a people pleaser at times, but that comes from making happy customers. |

Weaknesses: If he somehow loses everything and has all his hard work just taken away, he would have a meltdown. A full of kicking and crying toddler tantrums because it would be the ultimate form of betrayal.

Flaw: Insecurities. He has this mentality that he is never good enough, and he must strive to be better at all costs no matter the underhanded method used. He doesn't exactly find himself very confident in his octo-merperson form. He believes he is slow and boring. Though, in his human form, he finds himself quite attractive and charming. He finds it hard to trust people and perfers to keep everyone at arms length, even though he manipulates others into trusting him for deals.

Any pets: None

Any exes: None

Why did they enter the Selection: As a grand business opportunity. He isn't looking for love, and he finds the notion of true love ridiculous. He can't understand how someone could open themselves up like that and have zero control over how a person can make them feel. The thought it terrifying to him, and he would prefer to avoid it at all costs.

Why they want to win: He doesn't want to win. He simply wants to make deals and grant one's 'wishes', which could mostly benefit him in some way.

Fun facts about oc: He is an octo-merperson, so when he is in the water, he turns into his cecaelia form, which his tentecals are a shimmer inky black and his skin becomes a grayish purple. | He takes a potion he created to remain human on land, and he is still getting used to the whole legs thing. |

Other: He wears glasses but doesn't need them. He only wears them because it makes him seem smart. | He has two twin friends who are moray eels, both as conving and manipulative as he as, one is a more polite manipulative while the other is more a devious manipulative. | He was a chubby kid growing up. He was pretty cute, plump, and round, but he is embarrassed about that due to his own insecurities. | His mother and him own a restaurant lounge, which he mostly runs now all on his own. |
