#captain fishook

i think I overdid it with the design but whatever

he genuinely is a cool person to be around and is very firm with someone at the worst on a good day. its just that hes only super ruthless when he has to be (or. is forced to. thanks king boo). in the meantime, he has that kind of hearty laugh that tells you hes got life wrapped around his finger. er. fin

more than happy to be that barkeep who listens to your woes. between the permanent residents and ghosts just passing by, he's just about heard of it all. he truly doesnt mind being that therapist friend for people and usually tries to keep his temper in check so that people feel like they can come to him

that being said do Not piss him off on purpose it is not fun being in the hot seat 😭 while not AS structurally destructive as mr wolfgeist over here, fishook's rage will probably leave you staring off into the distance with a glassy look to your eyes afterwards. he always does it to set you straight though so if youre not used to being told no you better get used to it if you want to be on his good side

he Kiiiiinda structured his floor to be his own personal cove to recreate his past but after seeing (and going through) the kind of stress that ghosts in particular experience he started to veer towards a more open environment for ghosts. originally he truly did not gaf about anything or anyone because he felt like he lost so much when he died but treating his floor like a hangout helped him out quite a lot. i would imagine dying and being brought back as a ghost would bring forth some pretty complicated feelings so 😭😭 thank you captain

he is extremely independent and could actually be a little stubborn if hes in quite the pickle. tbf 90% of the time hes able to resolve it himself because its not his first rodeo running into issues of all kinds but if someone's adamant on helping and he cant resolve it himself he'll just quietly give up and let them help him LMFAO

gets along with clem in particular. so youre telling me theres another down to earth man in his early 40s who lives around water spending most of his time drifting along with what the world gives him? AND hes always down to crack open a cold one to laugh about our past lives? FUCK yes

He really does not care too much about wearing complicated clothes. in his more humanoid form he cares a lot more (i will draw that later ok give me a little while) but realistically theres only so much you could do as a shark. in the meantime though he HAS lived a life where being diy was borderline the only option so hes opted to make an eyepatch and hook out of whatever materials he could find. he used rope and seaweed to craft into an eyepatch and he used the seaweed to basically make a liner for his hook. the lure was not made though he was taking a swim in his cove when it just caught onto his fin. he doesnt know who tossed it in there but he kept it around because it looked cool

also yeah sorry i think i gave the pattern on his hook a downgrade im not a very good pattern designer and just wanted to get some kind of diamond pattern on him 😭 i wanna imagine the boss ghosts have some kind of diamond pattern on their designs to show their association with hellen and the hotel. maybe the original pattern mightve been fine the way it is idk ill deal with it later

sometimes he thinks his crew was a little too extreme literally shooting that shark when his injuries were way too great to feasibly save him. in retrospect he knew it was curious and very likely wouldnt have eaten him if it pieced together that he was a person. he still thinks sharks are cool
