Name: Maelstrom
Alias: Electric Shark, Abyssal Eel
Race: Zora
Age: 27
Height: 6' 8"
Weight: 195 lbs
Eye color: Maelstrom's eye color is the typical oil black, but he has a pupil, which is just a white animal-like slit. No other color.
Hairstyle: This doesn't pertain to most Zoras, but Maelstrom does not have the dolphin head-tail like most Zora. Instead, where the dolphin fluke would be, there isn't any. All he has are dorsal fins running from the top of his head, down to the tip of the blunted head-tail. He does not have any sideburn fins, instead he has large ear like fins that fold up when swimming.
Nationality: Termina
Description: Maelstrom is a highly strange Zora. He has webbed hands and feet, tipped with claws. His forearm-fins are more streamlined and snapped backward, also making them a decent forearm weapon as well as helping him along through the water. His mouth is full of sharp teeth. His scale color is a rich sapphire blue, with sad, demeaning patches of gray scales here and there. due to stress and previous malnourishment. This Zora is the only one with smooth bio-luminescent patterns, marks, and lines all over his body, allowing him to see in dark oceans when fully lit. He has a five foot long, fully functional tail, an actual tail-tail, shaped like a Great White shark's tail, also quipped with bio-luminescent patterns. His body is streamlined, making him one of the fastest Zoras alive. To keep him from drying out when on land, he wears a special gold-colored collar around his neck, and gold-colored bands around his wrists and ankles, enchanted by a dear friend of his to keep him from drying out much much longer than the ordinary Zora. He does not wear anything else, except a fish-bone belt around his waist to hold the magic pouch.
Personality: He was once happy, hyper, and enjoyed having fun, but due to life-changing events in the past, he has been hardened, stoic to the surroundings, and much more aware of the future. He's less happy, and makes attempts to find ways to bring back his old self. Maelstrom will converse, but most of the time will keep to himself. He's not easy to anger, but when he is angered, he lives up to his name.
Weapon: A falchion dubbed Leviathan. It is basically a scimitar so large, it must be held with two hands. The hilt is shaped like a dark blue sea serpent, with the pommel serving as it's head. The huge back fins of the design act as the cross-piece, and doubling as a mini-guard. Two eyes of sapphire glitter back from the "head" of the serpent.
Shield: He is able to block and riposte with Leviathan.
Sub-Weapon: His sub-weapons are his claws, teeth, tail, basically his whole body becomes a weapon if he is disarmed. His other sub-weapon is a Zoran Boomerang, sharp on the edges.
Inventory: Water Bombs, Deku Nuts, Bonefish Guitar [Personal Item]
Skills: He is the only Zora who is able to use the Electric Charge effortlessly, of course when on land, it's magically induced. He uses electricity as well as the falchion and his body. Outside, and in water, he uses the long-ranged and short-ranged zapping wonder. They don't call him the Electric Shark for nothing. The ability to use electricity freely is useless if a fireball is headed his way, or if he is surrounded by fire of any type. The Abyssal Eel part is due to the fact that he can dive into crushing abyssal waters to look for fallen goods, other types of fish, whatever. That is also why he's able to light up the way he can. Maelstrom's streamlined and hardy body make him one of the fastest swimmers and deepest divers alive. Saltwater? Freshwater? Not a problem for him. He's mobile more in the sea than on land, but even on land, he is a formidable fighter. Plus, he has a musical hobby, yes he does sing, and he can play the guitar well. He enjoys playing the guitar, no matter his mood. He's also deadly skilled with his blade, and the sub-weapon as well.
History: Maelstrom is one of thirteen hardy brothers to a family of incredible Zoras. The family had a weird gift; if all siblings were together for whatever reason, a maelstrom somewhere in the ocean would happen. Talk about a family reunion! The thirteenth brother, though, was the black sheep, the bad seed of the family. Maelstrom had a decent childhood, but when he was growing out of a boy and into a teen, Angler, the bad seed, started to hatch some devious, twisted thoughts to make his other brothers' lives a living nightmare. His parents knew Angler was evil, but before they could do anything about it, Angler fed them to a giant hungry shark. If the oil-black Zora was devious as a boy, in his teen years, he was even worse. Angler separated all the brothers, and forced them to live out on their own. Even Angler left Maelstrom at home, out plotting some scheme to rob babies or something. They never returned, leaving him disheartened and angry.
Maelstrom went out on his own for a few years, then came to what was called an Axis town in Hyrule. Every race was there, even the elusive Twili. He had befriended a hylian boy named Xaro during his time there, and they had been like brothers ever since. Not even Xaro's evil captor, Dreadwing, could separate them.
Until one night.
During the time of Xaro's enslavement (16 year gap), they had befriended an old shamanic Wolfos named Totem, a bomb-obsessed Deku Scrub named Boomer, Xaro's huge and intelligent dodongo mount, Duldon, and a highly rare, sorcerer Imp Fairy named Rage. They, along with Xaro and his legendary Axe of Chaos, Devastation, fought against Dreadwing and finally ended her reign of evil, or what was left of it. Not without a price. The resulting explosion of energy had scattered them all, and the Axe was left within the bat-beast's head, causing her to turn to stone. She was left there, with the Axe embedded in her forehead, within the Shadow Temple.
It was believed by the close circle of friends that Xaro had died within the explosion.
That was devastating to the Zora. Xaro was like a part of the family! The bat-sorceress had been slain, so what to do now instead of gripe for the past? Maelstrom took up Leviathan and gathered a bunch of elite Zoras, and called themselves Eel Raiders, with Maelstrom as their captain. They plundered pirates at sea, and raided where they hid, looting the money and giving the majority of it to local officials. They kept some for themselves, of course.
The group of friends were split, and who knew what they were doing to this day. Maelstrom continues his search for his friends and brothers, hoping to reunite them once more. Who knows, he might make new ones along the way!
