history
donovan had been born and raised near a caribbean port, where mermaid tail was a delicacy and their scales could sell for hundreds. his people and family were hunted for sport, and waking up every day was a nightmare with a struggle to get away.
all of donovan's family and friends had scattered, searching for the safest route out of there. which of them survived and is living their lives happily among a merfolk clan in a safer territory, he doesn't know. since arriving to the sepalum penninsula, he hasn't seen one familiar face. not that he has gone out of his way to look for any. unuse to his human legs, he'd crawled his way across the land and hid himself in the tulipa lake, hoping to live a solitary life without the abuse that humans had put him through.
but donovan soon realized that the humans in this pennisula were friendly and welcoming. he was always nervous around them and treated them with hostility, in fear that they would turn on him. but not one had even spoken a cruel word toward him, or raised their hand in his direction.
taking permenant residence in lake tulipa, donovan began to build his home. with the aid of the sprites, he was able to hammer together a shack on the water, which expanded larger and larger as days went on. a wooden bridge was connected from his home to the land and, in an attempt to raise money, his home was opened as a cafe- carp diem. he thought it was a punny name, coming from a fish man.
sadly, being so out of the way, donovan doesn't get a lot of business. the majority of the food he sells in his cafe is made from plants he finds at the bottom of the sea, and fish who picked the wrong fight against him. he's still overcoming his fear of humans, and is much more open toward the sprites on the far side of the river.

skills

- mining: level one
- fishing: level one
etc.
- in terms of material items, donovan is selfish. if he wants something, he will take it- even if someone else needs it more than he does. but if anyone is in danger, he's willing to put his tail on the line to save their legs.
- donovan can never break a promise. once he's given you his word, it's yours to keep and hold against him.
- in donovan's case, sensitive does not mean he's emotional and touchy. he's prone to noticing changes around him. when something is wrong, especially with a person, he's prone to catching the small hints that something is up.
- he is a spring baby and though he doesn't remember the exact date, he remembers it to be sometime in may.
- it's donovan's unconfessed dream to become a rancher. he has a garden in the sea of anemones and seaweed, but he wants to raise crops and trees on land, like all of the humans do. in a way, you could say donovan dreams to be human.
