Lore: Ikaika was once a marine biologist who studied the ocean ecosystem for 8 years. During his explorations and studies that surrounded the waters of new york, coastal reefs, and deeper parts where light barely illuminates the ocean floors, he became friends with the denizens of the coastal regions who assisted him with his studies an gaining favoritism. Bonds between Ikaika an merefolk and others alike grew, gifts were given in forms of knowledge or physical trinkets of unknown origins and in return for such kind gestures, he'd return periodically and share news that occurs in the city so that those who are bound to the seas may keep up with the ever changing world around them, but with time comes change- for better or worse. Citizens of the deep were the first to notice its changes, toxic waste being dumped in secrecy near homes and hunting grounds, water being heavily polluted by highly concentrated spirit essence to the point fishes and other creatures alike were being effected to a noticeable degree where their biology has altered and turned them into freakish monstrosities, before long Ikaika started investigating all these alterations and sources that have popped up all over the areas and with the merefolks constant surveillance, it gave leads to where the issue was originating from an the issue was the Fairfax Industries. Soon he started documenting all he could of the Industries illegal activities and trying to get the word out but unfortunately words can reach the wrong ears and even worse people and whoever was listening requested Ikaika be silenced before he made a mess and silence came swift in forms of well placed bullets...or so assailant was led to believe as they saw Ikaikas' body hit the water and sink under the moonlit skies. Fate had other plans in mind though, "A gift for a gift" was all that was heard clear as day even within the muffled depths that blinded his vision along with his vitals that were failing him and flashes of memories being brought forward from the corners of his mind before darkness was all that was left. Then, a flicker of light passed by, and then another, and more coming in waves of cyan as the charm around his neck glowed like a beacon, his eyes quickly open to witness spectral sharks in shivers enter his body and soul, his body, his name, his humanity changes as a wave of agony filled his very being to the point not even shedding tears can comfort him, But for his pain came power in abundance from the spectral predators and surrounding concentrated spirit essence in its rawest forms and with raw power came raw unbridled rage and he knew exactly where he was gonna put it all into Ikaika dead and gone, takes his new position and name, Váthos. One missing person soon turned into many, specifically those from the Fairfax industry who decided to make a little trip to open waters, whether it was Fairfax or The friends of humanity it mattered not who the culprits were but someone's ass is about to go up shits creek without a paddle and he is waiting for someone to slip and fall in as he takes to land to find a way to get the head of the snakes and what better way then to participate in the patrons little games as he smiles. "A gift for a gift, right?"
