Allow me to break out my major as a marine biologist to shed light on the swimming, most species of sharks are in fact ram ventilators meaning they cannot actually suck in water to breathe. They breathe by being in constant movement to allow the water to wash over their gills and give them their much needed oxygen. I.oxyrinchus is one such species of shark that is a ram ventilator, meaning all the great whites and makos and other free swimming species you've seen, even the oldest ones, have never ever stopped swimming once in their lives, from the day they were born as pups to the day that they die naturally or are fished out of the water. If a ram ventilator stops swimming with no current to push water inside of its mouth, it will die from suffocation. But I will fix everything else.I know I said I couldn't approve anything before Friday anyway, but if those things are not corrected you can't be approved
Needs an expansion, this personality does not provide a clear picture of the character's behavior and is lacking in serious flaws
I'll ignore the fact your character became a full fledged fisher at such a young age (I did approve a bunch of martial artists, so I have to be consistent here), but this part is too far fetched. I did some quick research, and the closest Island to the area where the characters are is aproximately 170 KMs away. To give you an idea, the fastest animal on Earth (not counting very small animals or diving birds) is the cheetah, who can run at 120 KM/hour.... for a minute or two. The fastest shark has a calculated speed of 72 KM. Assuming that shark is somehow capable of keeping said speed for several hours, it would still take you almost 2h and a half to get from the closest island to the mainland, with nonspot swimming.
I am here assuming that 60 mph (to help, since I mistakenly used KM earlier, this is about 96km/hour) is the utter limit of your character's ability, somehting you can't keep doing for even 20 minutes.
AKA even without factoring in that such movement would be illegal for a number of reasons, including fishing laws, quirk-related laws, immigration-related laws etc... Your character just wouldn't have the physical capacity to swim that far.
so long as he doesn't have superhuman strength...
