Triptych

Massive Shiny Showoff

Size: 22' nose to tail

Abilities: Highly adaptable, very venomous, surprisingly agile and fast under water

Shift: 5% increments instantly

Quirk: Water Requirement: unable to walk on land

Age/DOB: Appears around 60, with lines on his face and forehead but seems remarkably fit and sexy for that age? That is because like most with Mythic Primes, his lifespan is easily in the hundreds of years

Origin: Triptych 'Earth', with a liberal dose of 'is he actually just Zekiran'; midwestern but with clear deep-south ancestry, the kind that fought on the side of the former slaves when island uprisings occurred in the Caribbean, a fact which is born out by his lionfish spirit, they are definitely not local to the Americas...

Family: Wife Dian Rhein (teaches at CHS) with the potential of several children that were actually born to the couple; however most of their 'children' are actually clones of at least one of those children, possibly only David is a 'real' son
Also has an entire cadre of Zekiran relatives, and is very likely already an ancestor of Treason but it would be generations back
Rayne (Rhein - took their name) is part of the 'Triptych III' CHS origin, and while Dian and Dean both enjoy his intellect, they also both enjoy the rest of him too

Other: Participates in the Carramba High Summer Swim Sponsorship event with Treason, and yes they have a loooot of babies on the way. And no, Dean did not hold on to those eggs, though he definitely could have

.

Note that while he is definitely a professor at CHS right now, he's also been 'employed' and that's in heavy air quotes, by Polygen, much to their consternation. He did nothing but fart around in their dolphin pool and pirate movies. And also hacked their entire network, on numerous occasions, for his son when he was needing a way into their systems... He is still, as his ancestors, a pirate at heart.

Triptych Shapeshifting - as above with all the bells and whistles, inherently water-capable Skills +3

Hacker, Pirate, Embezzler, Hero - Polygen was never, ever, his real employer, he was just messing with Faustus long enough to get all the money he needed to buy the place out (eventually)(on their one world). Basically he knows his way around any given computer system, and with a little training and Reading The Fucking Manual he is capable of complex tasks on even unfamiliar code bases and hardware architecture. He's definitely a pirate, he will boldly come right up to a rich asshole and take a thing from them and hand it to someone else, and then get in their way when they try 'calling the cops'. Able to assess a person by how they treat others, particularly the 'help', and acts accordingly. He doesn't necessarily always seem like he's a good guy, or even a good person. Because there have been innocents that get in the way, or incidental harm or property damage. But in the long run (and he knows from long because yes he's pretty much going to live 'forever' at this rate) he understands how the world will be with or without his actions, and does what he can to make it a better one. +3 Computer skills, +3 Social Manipulation skills

Clusters

Aquatic Beach Bum In An Expensive Mansion With A Pool Right Next To The Ocean +6 Knows how to live the life and enjoy the crap out of it too. This encompasses swimming, diving, deep diving, underwater navigation, 'how to get to the water if you are out of it', and also a vast array of pool-based antics that he then teaches kids

Computer Use and Abuse +5 bored. learned. do you want a new bank account with a lot of money in it? cool. no prob.

Camouflage Is For Wimps +5 not really wimps, but those who don't want to get themselves hurt in the process of doing what they're doing otherwise

Skills

Social Intimidation and Confidence +6 He does not in any way look intimidating, until you see the tiny bright spots under his skin starting to form. Those are venom-injecting spines. "You ever have a slice of fugu? The fugu wins, usually." This is partly how he gets away with standing around campus wearing nothing but a towel, or teaching those deep-swimmers how to uproot the underwater comm lines and tap them for free tv and internet. Even if you think you're brave enough to challenge him, he does not care. If you're in his sights for any reason, he will let you know what that reason is, eventually. It is actually this skill that contributes to the Camouflage course, because look at him, you think he's hiding?

Talks To Dolphins And Octos Easily +5 not because he has any particular direct connection, but because he knows their languages. So they tell him secrets, where to find the best pearl oysters and clams, who really got that ship to capsize, where the hidden alien invaders lurk no one's supposed to know that how did you get in here wait stop we're allergic to fish!

Investment Banks Fear His Presence +4 even when he's not actively hacking into their system, he plays the stock market like it's the only thing he's ever done. Actually he's taught the dolphins at Polygen how to do it too. That's partly how he 'earned' all that cash... the pools and lagoons belong to them!

Knacks

Asshole Until You Get To... Wait No, Just An Asshole To Some People All The Time +4 in this regard, his 'son' Dave is a chip off the ol' block. He is built of attitude

Doesn't Tan, Just Gets More Colorful +3 instead of tanning, sometimes you can see his full Tripper markings just barely trying to bake into his paler human skin

Surprisingly Good With Students, But Those Parents, Ugh +3/-2 he doesn't intend to force kids to be like him, he encourages them to 'be like themselves' and sometimes that is at odds with their folks who want them to be like they are not like the kid is. Attitude adjustments incoming. If you get called into an office with your parents and he's already there, he is almost always on the kid's side
