Del Lago is a bit of a narcissist, aloof, a playboy, a massive ass biter if you cross him, and a passionate lover if one manages to get that close to him. He's a notorious attention whore, but quells the need to be in the spotlight when he knows he's being obnoxious. Lago enjoys being in the company of his mates, Rook and Flesk, either grooming them or snuggling them like a love drunk chum dumpster. He's good-natured and good-hearted at his core, he's just kind of a douchebag.

ABILITY
He doesn't have much means in the areas of magic or super anything, though he does have one little "oddity" that keeps him alive on land. The sea glass orb in his chest actually functions as a means to allow him to breathe air if he's on land for an extended period of time. His body absorbs the mineral and salt content into his blood stream with the oxygen filtering in through the glass' pores. When he returns to the water, the minerals and salt replenish by means of osmosis.

BRIEF HISTORY
El Diablo del Lago's story starts as any other would, born to a mother and father that raised him with the best of intentions for their cub. He lost both his parents at a fairly young age and the sea raised him, for lack of adequate choices. Despite that he's a rather carefree creature that spends most of his days beach combing and swimming, dining on all the fresh fish and meat he can get his mouth on. And of course while not spending his time at see he is mercilessly hounding his mates Rook and Flesk for sharky playtime or vigorous humping. He's a shameless chum dumpster after all~
