Been in college, writing a book called "El Perro Del Mar." It's a story about a brave "Ororian" child named Pokito who lives under the ocean with his brother and pop. One day, Pokito's brother, Grande, makes the mistake of hopping onto the bike of toad named Sapo, and pretends to ride it in the hopes that no one is looking. In the process, Grande unknowingly turns the machine on and accidentally runs it into a wall. Needless to say, that old toad Sapo witnesses the whole thing and demands retribution for the damages done to his vehicle. That very night, Grande is kidnapped from his home by Sapo and his gang. Pokito takes it upon himself rescue his brother, overcoming obstacles and meeting an unlikely ally along the way...  Top to Bottom, Left to Right: Pokito! The main (silent) protagonist of El Perro Del Mar. Pokito is an Oroe, and like many Ororians, it is tradition to don garbs made of fish skins called "Gills" when the age of maturity is reached (Age 7). Though he does not utter a single word in the narrative, Pokito has a heart of gold and is willing to fight for what he believes in, for his friends, and family. In the beginning of our story, Pokito is without a suit of fish to call his own. This changes when his father gives the young Oroe money in order to purchase one for his seventh birthday. Believing in his own heritage, Pokito takes his birthday money and buys equipment in order to catch and skin his own fish rather than buying readily made garments. In his success, he gains the Red Fish Gill. Flora is Pokito's best friend and long time companion. She's polite and well mannered even under pressure. Through Pokito, she has learned how to stand up for herself while maintaining her good manners and customs. The two do not have a romantic relationship of any sort. Alto is truly delicate in that his spirit is easily broken. Pokito has come to know the troubled youth by sticking up for him when no one else would. Because he has always been by his side, Alto has devoted himself to one day making it up to him in some way (though Pokito finds this unnecessary). Rani is the son of Raba, the owner of a large pawnshop where Pokito buys his fish catching gear. Rani and Pokito's fathers have been best friends for ages, and it is because of this that the two have grown up together as good friends. Rani is known for his intelligence; in fact, he carries the burden of keeping track of all the merchandise that comes in out of his father's shop (Raba is a lazy oaf who simply wants to relax and enjoy himself). In addition to his brilliance, Rani suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder, and is highly intolerant of his father’s neglectfulness. He is a great time manager and is not one for lollygagging.  The main antagonist of El Perro Del Mar, Sapo, and his gang of toads. From Left to Right: Sapo, leader of a gang consisting of all toads, is also the shortest member of said group. That being said, he is considerably sensitive about his own height and never thinks twice about confronting any beast that mocks his stature. Sapo is hot headed; often jumping into conflicts without thinking. It is here that his cohorts will try and hold the ill-tempered toad back. Leopold is so irresponsibly huge, I almost considered giving him his own page. He is the muscle (fat) behind Sapo's gang; however, he's also quite the blunderbuss. He is notably loyal to Sapo even though he continues to treat Leopold like garbage (Sapo being envious of his size). Mudo is quiet and introspective, and you know what they say about the quiet ones. Mildly sadistic in nature, he dons the skull of an Ororian to conceal his scared face. Cuchillo is cunning with wit as sharp as a knife. Unlike Mudo, this toad is outspoken and loves to trash talk (Almost to the point of annoyance). |
