Ulysses Cetusi
Description
Ulysses Cetusi appears typical for one of his rare race, the tritons. He's a handsome creature, apparently in his mid-20s. From the waist up, he has the strong and well-muscled body of a human, often clad in tough but flexible armor prepared from shark skin. A conch design is etched into the cuirass of the mail. What flesh can be seen of Ulysses' upper body proves to have a silvery sheen to the triton's strong flesh and bones. His lower body fades into two limbs scaled like a fish, and for feet he has only supple fins. The scales glisten with an iridescent silvery-blue color. Ulysses often clutches a long spear crafted from fishbone and headed with the shard of a broken seashell. His features are solemn, his blue-green hair no longer than his shoulders. It's often plastered to his face, but can float freely while underwater. His black piscean gaze peers out deep into the tides of the sea, searching for reason and why.
History
Ulysses Cetusi was born 153 years ago, a native of the triton realm Conchus, the Meadow of Shells. Here in the southern heart of the Devios Ocean Ulysses swam and matured at the rate of an elf, thanks to the tritons' elemental nature. As Ulysses aged, he contemplated the nature of the sea, finding his elders' mythological answers to be unacceptable, incomplete. He began to wander away from the Meadow, seeking out his own truths. In time, the ocean began to whisper its secrets to the curious triton. His understanding loaned him greater power over his environment. While other tritons were interested in protecting their home and the surrounding seas from evil, Ulysses found himself disinterested in that life. He wanted only to know and understand the ocean to its fullest, protecting himself and his home as needed. But evil could swim his oceans, too. When they crossed his tides, then they could know he -- and the sea's -- terrible wrath.
Personality
Ulysses has always been something of a loner. He avoids contact with most other tritons and intelligent seafolk. He keeps to himself, wandering here and there, befriending the animal denizens of the ocean like Aeolan, his porpoise comrade. He does punish despoilers of the ocean as he finds them. Most often, the evils he faces are not wicked creatures that share the depths of the sea, but surface-dwellers who seek to pollute or abuse the ocean.
Goals
Ulysses will pursue the path of the sea druid until mastery (20th level) before taking up the Prestige Class of hierophant or possibly even an elemental thaumaturgist.
