Diplomacy and creative thinking = win. Using the ungodly powers I've given you to force your way through everything = I throw a tarrasque at you. If you beat the tarrasque at level 1, then you can do whatever you want. xD

One last thing. Your changing stats will also affect your skills.
Also, I love your description of his dog form. xD

How will the stats affect skills? You mean roll-wise? Should I note those?

Probably. Or you can just memorize your modifiers. Whatever works for you. You don't need to resend me the sheets because I know the skills well enough.
So for skills, you add your ranks to your corresponding modifier.

That's the main reason why I write them down. So many different things! 4.0 simplifies skills too.

My character history unless Baran doesn't like it:
Once upon there was a young Triton named Maren. He was studying to be a doctor or I guess a cleric or something idk. One day he was out gathering seaweeds when he came upon a wounded Sharken named Kiri. Maren being the jesusy type, instead of killing her he treated her wounds and even guarded her from predators all night. Kiri thought he was completely nuts but decided she wouldn't kill him this time. They got to talking and decided that the other wasn't a bad sort though this confused Kiri because Tritons suck. So the next day she went home, but somehow found herself coming back to the kelp forest where they met and sometimes Maren would be there and they hung out more and more often and one thing led to another and Kiri ended up pregnant!
They left their tribes, finding a nice deserted island to hang under. In time, they had a baby boy named Shilon, who look after his mother in looks, with a shark tail. A few years later they had a baby girl named Mara, who had a Triton tail. They were a happy family overall, but at the age of 16 Shilon decided to leave to seek his fortune, and hasn't been heard of since. This cast a pall over the family, and Mara began growing more distant form her parents, hanging out with the wrong kinds of fish, and spending time near the shoreline. One fateful day she was sunning near the surface when she noticed a small boat being tossed around near the rocks. As she drew closer to see what was going on, a human fell out of the boat when it smashed into a rock, and started to sink. Her father had always told her it was Wrong to eat other humanoids (her mother just shrugged), so she decided that if she rescued him she would at least have someone to talk to. She dragged him up onto the beach and poked him until he woke up.
Once upon a time there was a boy who left his farm to join the army and seek his fortune. On his very first leave, he met a very nice lady who was, in the parlance of the time, smokin'. The boy, who had had rather more ale than he was used to, eagerly complied with the nice lady's wish to get to know him better, and woke up in the morning with a hangover and sans his virginity. About a month later he met another boy, a scholar of the Royal Archives, and immediately fell in love. The boys were sickeningly cute together, and almost immediately declared that their love was deep and true and they were meant to be together forever. (Luckily for them, it was and they were.) About two years after Daneel's adventure, he found a baby on his doorstep, very obviously his, along with a helpful bag of gems (including a jade pendant). After some initial panic, they settled into raising the baby, whose grandchildren fled to the islands with the rest of the humans.
More recently, Klavian, the son of a minor noble family, had finally realized his dream of captaining his own ship. His best friend as first mate, his crew in place, the ship set out on its maiden voyage. Unfortunately, once they were out of site of port the crew mutinied, led by none other than Klavian's best friend. Out of some remaining sentiment, they dumped him in a rowboat (without paddles) instead of killing him outright. The next thing he knew, he was being poked by a Shark-Triton.
So Klavian hangs out with Mara a lot since he is stuck on the island, and eventually gives up trying to figure out how to get back to his homeland because amazingly, he is having more fun than he has ever had before. About a year later, they discover that humans and half-Tritons are anatomically compatible in certain areas, and about a year after that, Anyel was born.
Somehow his ancestry had combined to give him a unique appearance. He has pale skin that never darkens or burns, blue hair which displays his Triton ancestry, and pale gray eyes. He has a line of iridescent scales running along each side of his face, from his forehead, along each cheek, and continuing down his arms and sides until they reach his legs, where his skin becomes sharkskin-rough. He has gills on his neck, and small fins running along each calf, which combine with his webbed toes to help him swim nearly as well as any Triton or Sharkan.
He grew up between the land and the sea, spending part of each day in the water as well as on land. Mara essentially moved into a small cove, and Klavian built a shack on the shore. Almost from the moment he could walk, Anyel attempted to explore everywhere, driving his parents nuts. (At least they didn't have to worry about him drowning.) He always had a great love of animals, as evidenced by all the frogs, turtles, and occasional chipmunks he brought home. His mother taught him how to spear fish, and they mostly lived off the sea because his father really wasn't conversant with the hunter-gatherer lifestyle. His father taught him to read and write Common, and he learned Aquan and Sharkan from his mother and grandparents. His childhood was idyllic, and when he came of age, his father presented him with the jade pendant that had always been passed down in their family.
He was wearing it that fateful day (about two years ago) when he was lounging on a makeshift raft a ways offshore, dozing on the waves, when a sudden storm sprang up. He was knocked unconscious, and upon waking found himself on an unfamiliar sandy beach. He hid when he heard voices approaching, and watched as humans came down to inspect the flotsam. He followed them back, and discovered he was near a small human village, and must be on one of the human islands. He camped in the forest, watching the village for a few months until he got up the courage to visit. He brought a few fish of the kind that it seemed the village prized, and managed to sell them and buy a few necessities such as a waterproof cloak and good dagger without being too cheated. Still, he found the village crowded and unpleasant, and set out to explore more of the land. Along the way, he acquired a snake he named I will think of a name later. He gradually became more comfortable popping into towns, but prefers to wander on his own, content on living off the land and sea.
He is still awkward around humans, and unsure of some social conventions, which can lead to highly awkward and very amusing (for other people) incidents. He comes off as very reserved, and always wears a cloak to hide his non-human features.
