Description:
Personality:
Ol' One Eye is similar to old sea captains, in the fact that he often has stories to tell. Unlike the rest of his family, who are actually well spoken, Ol' One Eye's speech is more like that of a sailor. Where his family would say 'How are you doing?' he would say 'How yer doin'?'
Despite being a Crocodile, he is actually quite calm. He actually enjoys the company of other races, which is one reason he decided to live in the city (that, and the other races interest him.) However, when something gets him angry, Ol' One Eye definately does something about it. If he is at work, he will chase the being out of the bar. However, if he is outside of work, he will, literally, get snappy and attempt to bite them. Its this reason that causes him to get in trouble with the officials sometimes.
Physical description:
Ol' One Eye shares the bulky nature of his Crocodillian brethren. He also shares the colouration, being a dark brown with a creamy-yellowy underbelly. However, he has some distinguishing features. The most noticable one being having no right eye. He also has a prosthetic right arm, which works similar to a robotic arm. However, the model of the arm was a prototype, so it occasionally fails to work.
Relationships:
I will edit this as he meets people.
History:
Mercurio lived a practically normal life in his starting years. He hatched, he was raised by his parents, and then he left home. He originally chose to live in the forests, away from the cities, since he was told many bad things about the beings that live there. However, when he was 35, everything changed. While he was exploring, he happened upon the Grey Wastes and a large group of Grey Stalkers, which assaulted him. While strength was on Mercurio's side, they had numbers. He managed to chase them off, but his eye was ripped out and his right arm damaged beyond use. He was losing blood, fast. He had just made it back to near the Brumeveil Forest when he collapsed. He would have died right there, but fate intervened when a group of explorers found him laying on the ground, covered in blood. When he awoke, he found himself in a room, with several humans/humanoids looking over him, and a robotic arm where his right arm was. The humans left the room, after mentioning something about leaving 'Ol' One Eye' in there for the recovery process to take place. Over the next few days, humans would come into the room to check up on him and to keep him company. This started to grow interest in the mind of the Crocodile. Who were these creatures, and why were they treating him so well when he had heard stories of the complete opposite? After fully recovering, he was given the choice of staying or leaving. He chose to stay within the city, to live with these creatures and learn more about them. With this, he abandoned the name Mercurio and took on the name Ol' One Eye, and found a job as a bartender.
Miscellaneous:
Ol' One Eye has a limited Depth Perception, and cannot see anything on the right side of his body when his head is facing forward.
Ol' One Eye is also still learning how to maintain control of his Prosthetic right arm.
