     Grows sea plants for both food and dyes.  In all honesty, doesn't take his powers very seriously; not interested in pushing his limits for the sake of pushing limits.
     Had a hormone-driven adolescence.  Went through a phase of "Oh, boy!  SEX!!!" but calmed down after a year or four. Can pretty much take or leave sex at this point; if he's interested, he can find someone.  More interested in females these days than males. Has had many crushes, but never fallen in love.
