God sorry about the poor photo quality, took it with my phone and couldn't get a good angle for him. >.>

Anyhow this is Sebastian Squishy, or Mr. Squishy as many people call him. As a young octo, he grew bored of his underwater home and inhabitents. Although many had their own exciting lives, he could never find common interest amongst many of his relatives and passerbies. Despite protest from the few friends he did have (which weren't strong friendships to begin with), he sought out for the surface. Careful to not strand himself on the beach, he carefully latched onto a nearby peer and was left awestruck at the many creatures before him. Some walked with their legs, unlike the straddle along the ocean floor that he was accustomed to. Some walked on all fours, whilst others on merely two legs. How did they keep their balance? How did the many passerby's go about their lives, unafraid of the other people around them?

What was the surface world like?

So every day, without fail, he'd come to the same spot on the pier and watch as fisherman left to and fro with many batches of his own dinners. Young people came by, with many wonderful conversations about their world that left him wanting to learn more. After nearly a year of observation, an option appeared in the form of a marine biologist. She was, too, fascinated by his sentience and will to learn about her world. In exchange for telling her about his own life, she would find a way for him to live on the surface.

After several years of a strong friendship, tales for the ages, and a many conversations to be had; the poodle named Tiara had finished her end of the deal. She provided Sebastian a wet-suit capable of keeping his moisture about him, whilst the same time regulating the heat and liquid inside. She had also provided a home for him in her backyard pool, which had fully realized his dream.

Now, he traverses land with many pairs of wet suits, though preferring to wear the transparent pair to show off his beautiful coloring (will color in the sketch at a later date. ;p). Learning the language of the locals, curiosity never ending, he spends his days simply strolling along the beach and town that he's come to know and love.

Traits: Squish is easily forgetful, despite his will to learn. He'll often carry a backpack and a notepad with him, so he can record information he wishes to remember for later. It takes him several tries to learn even the most basic information, but once he learns such facts he hardly forgets.

Squish is also fairly gullible and has a difficult time differentiating lies and truths. He'll often believe ludicrous information until someone states otherwise.

Despite his friendly demeanor, he has a quick temper that's hard to extinguish once lit. Not much causes him to get angry, but the few things that do enrage him. This includes people being rude; confusing himself over trivial matters, and filth. He doesn't let go of his rage until he somehow resolves the issue, whether that be cleaning the filth that bothers him or confronting the people being rude. He's gotten into several verbal and physical fights due to this, and has also gotten banned from the local library for 'washing' the dusty books on the shelves.
