AGE: waved goodbye to 17 way too long ago
NAME: Dylan Murray
NATURE: Selkie
CHARACTER’S AGE: Fey/irrelevent (looks in his early fourties)
POWERS: Able to turn into a grey seal, with the use of his sealskin. Physically strong (not nearly as much as a vamp or were) in part due to nature and in part due to the hard work of a fisherman. Glamour- His glamour is two edged. He can appear to be the embodiment of menace and rage, or the most comforting and stelwert of protectors. It depends on if you are friend or foe.
He has his glamour firmly controlled due to his long time in the mortal realm. Besides, while fear is a food weapon people are also known to attack what they fear... and being seen as some sort of sheltering protector leads one to no end of trouble and an endless stream of 'strays' and lost causes on your doorstep.
Pretty handy with water based magics.
Weaknesses: Cold Iron. Strays (people or animal, he's got too big a soft spot for his own good.)
APPEARANCE:
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 200 lbs
Hair: Mostly brown, but shades to black to the front. Shoulder length
usually worn in a ponytail.
Eyes: Black
Skin: Darkly tanned.
Features: Square face, high cheekbones. Very handsome. Dimples when he smiles. Clean shaven. Right ear pierced (usually adorned with gold stud)
Clothes--- Comfortable and loose. Jeans or corderoys, cardigans or henleys.
PERSONALITY: Not a typical 'crusty sea captain'. Dylan enjoys a good
time, good humor and good friends. He has a wicked sense of humor. Dylan
avoids fights if he can, but will stand up for his friends, his buisiness,
and his family. Tends to be one of the 'voices of reason' in an argument,
due to his distaste for violence. He is able to hold his own in a fight,
however. He knows that sometimes violence *is* a necessary evil, and he's
a good one to have at your back in a brawl. He's a bit of a gallent, but
has not had a relationship in the last ten years, since the death of his
wife. His speech still holds a faint hint of a brogue.
HISTORY: Dylan is a Selkie from the Orkney Islands originally. He migrated to Massachusetts when he fell in love with and wed an human American lass, Linda, of his own free will. Never, was his sealskin used against him. She died ten years ago in her sleep, at the age of seventy-eight. They'd been married fifty-two years.
Dylan and Linda had three children, two sons; Owen and Daithi who spend more time 'at sea' (i.e. with the Selkies) then on land, and a daughter; Mairéad who is currently an oceanographer in Florida.
Dylan always stayed close to the sea, and was first hired on as a fisherman for a company with a home base in Sanctuary when he originally immigrated. However, over the years he has built up his own buisiness (mostly due to Linda's careful financial planning). When he arrived in Sanctuary twenty years ago he brought his buisiness with him, a 'fleet' of four boats. Two are regular fishing and crabbing vessles (50' Longliner), one is a tour/sightseeing (50' Passanger) boat and the fourth (45' Sport Fisher) runs fishing tours. He is usually found on the "Wave Dancer", the primary fishing vessle, or the house boat "The Promise" which he lives on.
Although he never officially 'came out' about his true nature most people who know him must have noticed that in the twenty years he's been in Sanctuary he hasn't aged, or the fact that he arrived with a sixty-eight year old wife.
