TRITOGENEIA
A rather grumpy man whose first priority is himself and his safety above all. Triton - full name Tritogeneia - is a scoundrel and a thief, who makes a "living" by stealing from others, often the well off. He makes his home in niches where no one often looks, and often migrates from niche to niche.

to strangers & acquaintances
Triton, full name Tritogeneia, is a self proclaimed scoundrel. For that alone, he already tends to rub people the wrong way. Triton doesn't bother to put on any airs or to tone himself down. He's mean, lies with no guilt, and isn't above backstabbing others. He's entirely capable of taking care of himself, but that's about it, not often thinking of others. Triton is one to hold a grudge, often over petty things, and until he feels he's been paid his due for the transgression, Triton doesn't even bother acting friendly.
to friends & family
Getting closer to Triton is no easy feat, as he scrutinizes every kind action. Beneath all those walls, Triton is inclined to creativity and sailing. He likes the ocean, and he likes to watch plays, and he likes creating art. The same lack of care that Triton applies to social etiquette is applied to things like the government and the rich. Though he doesn't care for the rest of the world, he puts his all into his friendships, even if he stubbornly insists it's not a friendship but a mutually beneficial association.

FAMILY . CHILDHOOD . ADOLESCENCE . PRESENT
Family
lineage
Son to the ever-elusive Eurybia, by an unknown father. Triton knows this much: his mother was a force of nature, a rolling storm that poured over the land and swept out to sea. He can't find it in himself to care for more than that. If Eurybia is dead, then let her stay dead.
caretaker
Triton was raised by an immanu, who found the human child at her door. She took him in and watched over him for his formative years. Somewhere along the line, something went wrong, and Triton was left on the streets alone. Too young to remember what happened exactly and too old to want to dig into it, Triton lives his present in ignorant bliss. Some nights, if Triton squints quite right, he thinks that he remembers smoke.
Childhood
urchin
Turned out on the streets, Triton soon found himself fending for his life. More accurately, his next meal. Food ran the laws of the streets - an urchin's saying goes that "he who eats is he who lives". With many tall buildings to hide in and weaving alleys to get lost between, there was no shortage of space, but food was harder to come by. With no coin to buy it and no skill to farm it, Triton relied on steadfast hands to pilfer from pockets and merchant's stalls.
Triton loved the docks. It was so easy to be lost in the din of it, and no one ever missed an urchin weaving through the crowds. Something about the rhythmic waves of the ocean soothed the other thieves down at the docks, and made the older children more inclined to share. Not food, never food, but candlelight, an eye out during night, or a hushed story.
"When Ul-Shamael came down from the mountains, the giant struck the ground, he struck the very flesh of Fys," a leyr with a notch in his ear told, unweaving a myth passed from urchin to urchin. Triton sat with his legs criss-crossed on a stack of crates and listened raptly as the story came to a close. "But the oceans ran black with the Great Dragon's blood, and the Blue Lord sleeps beneath the sea."
sanga
It was his early years that Triton heard of the Blue Lord, Glauca, and it was those same years that the Blue Lord delivered Triton a brother. Sanguiren - Sanga, Triton immediately nicknamed - had barreled into Triton and the rest was history.
Sanga could be called soft. He didn't have the heart to steal more than he needed, he had qualms shaking other street children from their hiding spots, and he could barely lie to save his life. Triton found him hopeless, but even at their young ages, Sanga had a height and bulk that deterred the older urchins from harassing him. "Let's make a deal," Triton said to Sanga. "Your muscle for my brains, and we look out for each other."
Agreeing, they struck their deal with the ocean waters.

Steadfast [ talent fysa ]
Triton's talent manifests itself in steady hands and feet. Triton has a better sense of balance and his body than most, which he uses to his advantage when scaling buildings. His hands and feet never shake. Much like a cat, Triton almost always lands on his feet.
Swordbreaker Dagger [ weapon ]
A trusty swordbreaker dagger, made of some sharp and matte black material. There is significant wear and tear on this weapon, but it shows no signs of weakening any time soon. Just where did Triton get this?
SANGA [ brother ]
Sanga is Triton's brother. Perhaps not by blood, but certainly by choice. Having come from nearly the same background, Triton is fiercely protective of Sanga and vice versa. Though Triton pretends that he's not close to Sanga, he always feels like he's missing something when the other is away.
