PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
HEIGHT: 5 Foot 10 Inches | WEIGHT: 185 LBS | AGE: 43 YEARS |
NATIONALITY / ETHNICITY: British / Caucasian.
PIGMENT: Florid | HAIR: Brown, receding, shaven | EYES: Green
Dover is very muscular with little body fat. He's ruggedly handsome with a receding hairline that's kept shaved blending into the week's growth that is usually covering his heavy jaw line. He dressed for function rather than form, usually spending his days aboard his vessel in swimming shorts and a tank top. He has a number of tattoos and scars from knife to bullet wounds across his body and his hands are as rough as sand paper.
When transformed Dover looks much the same except his skin is greenish blue and scaled. His eyes are usually black and he'll develop webbing between his digits. He doesn't bother wearing a costume, just a swimsuit. On land, he usually masks his face with a military style cover and wears grey and black coloured army fatigues and used a variety of conventional weaponry, carrying clips of both standard and rubber rounds.

PERSONALITY
Dover is the definition of military institutionalization. Everything thing he does is regimented, he allots for every moment of the day in his precise mental schedule. He trains and exercises religiously but he never does anything at the same time every day. Habitual behaviour leads to predictability and he does nothing that betrays this. He rarely cracks a joke but he's also not without a sense of humour.
He deals with PTSD through meditation which he usually does under water. The quiet of the ocean is very therapeutic, as is the 'call of the sea'.
Almost frantically aware of his surroundings, Dover is sometimes a too serious and has to remind himself that he's not on a mission. He can very personable, even funny at times, but his seriousness, stubbornness and need to take charge usually drives people away.

POWERS
AMPHIBIOUS
Dover's complete genetic make-up was altered by a designed viral mutation that altered his unique DNA, meaning the process cannot be duplicated making him one-of-a-kind. His lungs are able to breath water as naturally as they breath air and alterations to his physiology makes him twelve times as strong as a human due to increased muscle and bone density that is able to withstand crushing depths. His body temperature is able to regulate itself normally in icy cold water, making him resilient to the cold in and out of the water. His skin is also tougher, roughly as strong as a shark's and he heals very quickly. He's able to regenerate lost body parts over time and this process has greatly slowed, perhaps even stopped his aging.
TRANSFORMATION - After he has been underwater for a few minutes he can alter his body so that his skin becomes scaled like a fish. The colour a greenish blue. It becomes more durable and better able to slip through the water. His hands and feet develop webbing. He can transform back to human form within minutes. When fully transformed he can swim at the same speed as a dolphin.
EYES - In or out of the water he can instantly change his eyes. They become completely black and are able to see in complete blackness via the most minute temperature distortions. When light is present it is magnified so that he can see perfectly.
ECHO-LOCATION - Only underwater, can he use sonar by producing a high frequency pulse from his nasal cavity. He is able to detect sonar. The ability allows him to "see" under the sea bed.

QUIRKS • WEAKNESSES • FLAWS
Dover is more susceptible to dry conditions than a Human. He needs twice as much water and will dehydrate three times as quickly.
The longer he remains underwater in a transformed state the more his thoughts start to change to that of a creature of the sea.

ORIGIN STORY
Dover was born on the water and the sea has always been apart of his life. His father, an officer in the Royal Navy took he, his sister and his mother around the world with him. Moving from port to port. His father always said that Dover swam before he walked. When other kids were learning how to ride a bike, he was learning to sail on the Mediterranean. Before he was ten he could speak four languages and identify just about any kind of aquatic creature. Not surprisingly he followed in his father's footsteps, joining the Royal Marines, being elevated to the prestigious unit of the Special Boat Service. His codename was Partisan, thought so to be name because of his exceptional devotion to his post and exemplary conduct but it was nothing of the sort. He was named for the Partisan weapon, a spear with three sides.
His life would change forever after a rescue mission went awry. When a research facility in North Sea was threatened by terrorists Dover's team was called in. Turned out, the terrorists were just trying to save the human test subjects that were being forced to participate in a project to create amphibious humans to contend with the Atlanteans and Nemedians. Dover went against orders and destroyed the facility, during which he was exposed to an experimental virus.
Dover was dishonourably discharged from service, his family name disgraced. His father called him a traitor and disowned him. Immediately following the court marshal, Dover grew sick. He knew it was due to the exposure and seeking to save his life used his skills to track down the parent British corporation of the research facility. Unfortunately he was being pursued by special operatives, employed by the corporation called Triton, a oceanographic-biotech conglomerate. Dover was a loose end and fearing the virus he was carrying would threaten their corporation were trying to quietly get rid of him. Dover wasn't about to gently go out. He managed to get into a lab and was aided by a kindly researcher who recognized what he had been exposed to. She told him that he was undergoing a metamorphosis and there was no stopping it. Every test subject exposed to the particular virus had died horribly but in Dover's case, for some reason, his genetic make-up was accepting the new RNA strains. Without assistance, however, he would still die but the researcher, Chloe Myner, helped him and secretly treated him.
A year later, the transformation was complete. Dover was healthy, and he and Chloe had grown close. They planned to leave for Scandinavia but before they could one her fellow researchers, a jealous asshole, learned of Dover and turned them in. The fight was bloody, Dover used his new abilities against the assassins sent to kill them and in the fray Chloe was killed.
Dover used his new aquatic abilities to search for treasure in the ocean's depths. It didn't take long for him to make his fortune, after which he used, to wage war against the Triton Corporation and expose them. He took them down once and for all. He now lives on the water and used his powers to help people in need and help protect the waters off the Eastern Sea Board of America.

BACKGROUND
Dover currently moves between New York harbours, never staying in the same place for more than a few months. To get around the city he rides a motorcycle (Dual Sport Suzuki DR650, black) which he hauls onto his boat and takes with him when he moves around. He has a small arsenal hidden in his boat.
A common misconception that occurs is people thinking that Dover is a Nemedian Atlantean due to his bluish pigment. Even Atlanteans are confused, thinking that he may be some older race because he has scales.
