Dave’s transformation into a sharkman began with an unexpected encounter in his late teens. At 18, during a daring solo dive to explore a newly discovered trench off Coral Bay, he stumbled upon a strange, glowing substance on the ocean floor. Encased in a cracked, ancient vessel, the viscous liquid shimmered with an unearthly blue-green hue. Driven by curiosity, Dave reached out to touch it, and the substance surged toward him, enveloping his hand and seeping into his skin. Over the next year, an unknown force from the deep completed the transformation, leaving him 7'3” and over 350 pounds—a sharkman.
Currently weighing more than 350 pounds (0.16 t), Dave’s initial years as a sharkman were filled with intense exploration. He left Coral Bay at 18, roaming coastlines to master his new form—swimming for days without rest, diving to depths that would crush a human, and reveling in his strength. His belly, a product of the transformation’s mysterious substance, became both a symbol of his power and a practical asset, aiding his buoyancy and resilience.
In 2023, at age 35, Dave settled near Seaside Haven, drawn by its vibrant beach community. It was here that he met Alex, a human lifeguard whose curiosity and love for the ocean mirrored Dave’s own younger self. Their first encounter on the beach—marked by Dave’s jovial confidence and Alex’s eager questions—sparked an instant connection. Together, they claimed a beachside home, a base for their adventures, and a sanctuary for their Sharkman lives. 
He dreams of uncovering the origins of sharkmen, perhaps finding others like them to form a community, all while savoring the simple joys of beach life—sunbathing, eating, and swimming.

DESCRIPTION

Dave appears to be well over 7 feet (2.13 m) tall, likely closer to 8 feet (2.44 m), based on the proportions of his body and the way his head reaches high into the frame against the gradient sky of blue and orange. His height is accentuated by his broad shoulders, which span an impressive width—possibly around 4 to 5 feet (1.52 m) across. Each of his arms, flexed in a double-bicep pose, showcases massive biceps, likely measuring around 30 inches (0.76 m) in circumference, roughly the size of a small watermelon or a large bowling ball. The muscles of his forearms are equally thick, tapering down to his webbed hands, which are large enough that each palm could easily cover a standard dinner plate.
His thighs, which are likely over 40 inches in circumference each, are comparable to the girth of a medium-sized tree trunk. His calves are similarly robust, each one possibly around 25 inches (0.64 m) around, giving him a sturdy foundation. Dave’s webbed feet are wide and broad, measuring perhaps 18 inches (ca. 46 cm) in length and 10 inches (ca. 25 cm) in width, with tan soles that contrast against his blue skin. These feet are built to support his immense weight, which, given his size and density, could easily exceed 600 pounds (0.27 t), if not more, combining his muscular mass with the added bulk of his inflated belly.
The most dramatic aspect of Dave’s size is his enormous, inflated belly, which is a central feature of his physique. This belly is perfectly round and glossy, protruding outward in a balloon-like shape that likely has a diameter of around 3.5 to 4 feet (1.22 m)—larger than a standard beach ball or a typical exercise ball. If you were to measure its circumference, it might be close to 10 to 12 feet (3.66 m) around, making it a dominating feature that adds significant width to his frame. The belly’s surface is taut and smooth, reflecting the light with a slick sheen, and its sheer mass contributes heavily to his overall weight and presence. Standing beside him, an average human—who might be around 5’10” and 170 pounds (ca. 77 kg)—would look diminutive, with the top of their head barely reaching Dave’s chest, and his belly alone extending out far enough to overshadow their entire torso.
Dave’s chest is another testament to his size, with broad, powerful pecs that are each roughly the size of a basketball, possibly 30 inches (0.76 m) in diameter. The lighter, almost white patch of skin on his chest, marked by two small pinkish-red spots, stretches across this expanse, adding contrast to his blue scales. His torso, even without the belly, is incredibly wide, likely spanning 3 feet (0.91 m) across at the chest, and his muscular back adds even more bulk, giving him a V-shaped taper that is exaggerated by his inflation.
His head, with its shark-like features, is proportionate to his massive body, likely measuring about 2 feet (0.61 m) from the tip of his snout to the back of his head, with a width of around 1.5 feet (ca. 46 cm). The dorsal fin atop his head adds another 6 to 8 inches (ca. 20 cm) to his height, while the sleek, fin-like protrusions on the sides of his head, replacing traditional ears, extend outward slightly, adding to his aquatic silhouette. His toothy grin reveals sharp, white teeth, each one possibly 2 inches (ca. 5 cm) long, contributing to his playful yet intimidating aura.
Overall, Dave’s size is colossal in every dimension—height, width, and mass. He’s a towering figure at around 8 feet (2.44 m) tall, with a shoulder width of 4 to 5 feet (1.52 m), a belly diameter of 3.5 to 4 feet (1.22 m), and a total weight likely exceeding 600 pounds (0.27 t). His muscles are hypertrophied to an extreme degree, with biceps and thighs that rival the size of large objects like watermelons and tree trunks, while his inflated belly adds a cartoonish yet awe-inspiring bulk. Dave is, without question, a massive sharkman, embodying a blend of raw muscular power and exaggerated inflation that makes him truly “big” in every sense of the word.

Stats

My style? It’s all about keeping it practical but with a little flair—gotta look good while I’m out there adventuring, right? I’m usually rocking these blue athletic shorts you see me in at the gym—they’ve got a white stripe on the side, and yeah, they’re a bit stretched around my 3-foot belly, but they’re tough enough to handle all my moves, whether I’m lifting weights or sprinting through the woods. I’ve got a black wrist wrap on my left paw, too—it helps with the heavy lifting, but I’ll admit, I also think it looks pretty cool. When I’m out exploring, I carry a rugged leather satchel slung over my shoulder, packed with the essentials: water, a first-aid kit, and a little notebook where I sketch maps of my favorite trails. There’s a small fox charm hanging off the satchel—a gift from a friend in the furry community that I just love showing off. I keep things minimal, letting my fur and physique do the talking, but at community events, I might throw on a bright bandana—maybe red or yellow—to add a pop of color and keep the vibes playful. That’s my gear: functional, a bit personal, and ready for action!

• Speed: 5/10 — I’m fast in the water, but on land, my 620-pound frame and huge belly slow me down a bit.
• Personality — Charisma: 8/10 — My jovial nature and mischievous grin make me a hit at beach events, always ready to entertain or challenge others.
