Hugh is not so easily missed, even when in the midst of a large crowd. For one, his height tends to put him a head above a lot of people. For two, he looks like a shark. That's because he IS a shark, or was a shark and now he walks like a man making it unsafe to either go back in the water or stay on land. His sharky skin is the typical blue-grey color with white accents, making his hungry yellow eyes stand out even more on his elongated head. Any expression that requires the least bit of mouth movement exposes his rows upon rows of evolution-sharpened teeth, making even his smiles quite menacing. His hands and feet are clawed for some reason, an (un)fortunate byproduct of his mutation

Putting all of his menace aside for a moment, however, Hugh is quite... buff and even, dare it be said, handsome. Perhaps with the right mindset. His human-like body shows plenty of muscle definition and there's something nice to be said about his expert control of his shark tail and white lightning-esque accents. Though his tail and elbow fins make finding clothes for him quite the tailoring ordeal.

Occupation: Student
Grade Level: First Year
Powers/ Abilities:

Shark Physiology
 
Being that Hugh was once an actual shark, swimming the Earth's oceans as an apex predator, he retains some of the properties of his origins even post-mutation or possesses derivative properties. To start, Hugh is able to breathe underwater through the use of the gills in his neck. He's perfectly able to survive on land without water too. His gills are sufficiently covered enough to retain adequate moisture in most environments. However, he risks difficult breathing in very dry and arid environments.

Apex predators must have bodies to match their status, and Hugh is no different even after growing legs. He's strong all around, comparable to a champion Ultimate Fighting... fighter. This even extends to his tail, which can pack a pretty nasty wallop. Of course he is at his most agile and as his fastest when in the water. His skin is tough and leathery, able to resist most trauma and cuts. And finally, his teeth are terrifyingly sharp and jagged, come in several rows, are replaced on a nearly weekly basis, and Hugh has impressive jaw strength.

Electroreception
 
A carryover from his shark self, Electroreception is an innate "sixth sense" all of his kind possess. By sensing the minute electrical impulses generated by all living animals, Hugh is able to pinpoint the relative size and positioning of any living thing that comes within 25 meters of him. 50 meters if he and his prey are in water.

Blood Sniffing
 
Another method of tracking prey innate to sharks, Hugh can "smell" blood in the air and through water. Whether that blood is spilled on the ground or oozing out of someone, Hugh can smell and track it once he is within 10 meters of it. This distance extends to miles if the blood is in the water.


Equipment You Have: School uniforms (Custom tailored), A license plate from California (Favorite object he's eaten, decided to keep as a souvenir), A tiny vial of the substance that may have mutated him (Scraped off his chest when he finally came to), Several tailored pieces of clothing including a pair of swim trunks (Because people dislike a naked shark man even more than a regular shark man)

Personality Description:
Much like Hugh would never be mistaken for a Human, he would also never be mistaken for an intelligent creature. At best, Hugh has the intelligence of a child and the personality to boot. He's curious, gullible, prone to acting on nothing but a whim, and easily distracted. Though he's technically a student at the school, he's more like an animal that has been left in their care and protection. His penchant for doing anything for some meat or fun means his loyalties can easily be bought with someone just offering more food than the other person.

Speaking of food, Hugh never really lost touch with his feral shark side. Though he maintains some control of himself, he can still feel the frenzy that blood causes in him. He also feels especially at home in the water, and doesn't exactly have any kind of affinity for the usual niceties people gravitate towards, like money or power. He's a simple creature with simple needs.

Personal History:
Believe it or not, Hugh started out as an actual shark, like one that swam around in the ocean and terrified surfers and boaters alike. HOW he became what he is today is actually something of a mystery. Hugh himself couldn't tell you, though he could tell you that the process was painful and he was an unwilling party in it. Most of the transformation took place after he had blacked out from the pain, only to find himself on land with a new body and a new capacity to think.

For a while, he lived out his new life on land, preying on land animals and relearning how to swim with his new limbs and rearranged fins. He eventually became the subject of a new urban legend, something akin to Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster. He was a creature that no one ever fully saw clearly, but many claimed to have encountered. Fortunately, he never sated his hunger on them. His only real taste of human flesh came when he was finally approached by people foolish/brave enough to run away from him, but also credulous enough to not believe he was some kind of myth.

As it would turn out, "Hugh", as they would end up calling him, had washed up on the shores near Hyakuji. His presence in the wilderness there only added to the mystique of the area, and not many thought too hard about the possibility of a legendary shark man in those particular woods. But as the school grew in size and prominence, people began to think and wonder. Soon curiosity gained enough legitimate backing to warrant a team to go look for this elusive creature. They found him after several days of searching and, finding him to be quite receptive to civil discourse and a massive amount of red meat, brought him back to the school for both education and observation.

I don't know why, but I'm immediately attracted to him.
