GENERAL APPEARANCE 

As with all the noble merfolk, Prince Tritannus possesses a long, almost snake-like tail with the strength to level or drown small dinghies. The “human” parts of his appearance, blended seamlessly into the scales of his fins, portend an air of knightly elegance that remains even after his exile.  Though his defeat at the hands of his enemies and own family have greatly weakened him, his body doesn’t show it, still appearing like the warrior he once was. His tanned skin beautifully sinks into unnatural greens and blues. His hair, a tangled mess of dark purple,  frames the royal circlet tattoo on his forehead. 

PERSONALITY

Prince Tritannus is a poisoned well, the dark water of the depths, a crumbling cave ready to crush the unlucky diver. He is jealous, angry, and vengeful to an extreme. There is a curled thorn where softness should have taken his heart, yet he’s known to be easily led by romantic and platonic infatuations. Above all his faults, his jealousy guides his actions the most, having moved him to the brink of massacring his own kingdom.

BIO

Envious, resentful, and unable to quell the anger that festered inside him, Prince Tritannus was a volcano waiting to erupt. Sharing a face with his twin, Nereus, had only been the start of his troubles as he also fell behind the long list of his brother's heroic exploits. No matter what he tried, he never compared to the glimmer of his twin’s blade, and was readily cast aside by his father. Not even his magic, powerful as it was, was able to lure the same attention Nereus received from the rest of his family.  And so he grew, coiled in that strange position, a prince in name alone, shrouded in the blackened depths of the ocean. In the time of his brother’s coronation his jealousy had grown to talking, whispering strange things in the back of his mind, until he found himself with a trident in hand and aimed to strike his father.  Tritannus had taken the ocean by storm, rampaging through the world of the merfolk with disastrous results. He was successful in killing his father, successful in turning other merfolk into aberrations with his magic, successful in staying enemy forces, and successful in entering a covenant with a witch.  But all of his victories rolled past him in waves, only to die at the shores of his eventual defeat. Sealed at the very bottom of the ocean, Tritannus was meant to sleep for the rest of eternity, stuck in a fitful dream. Yet something, a mysterious force, cracked through the magic…
