Description
This is my Sharkscale oc, Hew(meaning to chop or cut-something, especially wood or coal-with an axe, pick, or other tool.)

Sharkscales are a WOF fantribe by Spookapi here on deviant art. The whole world they've made has had a real grasp on me for awhile now so I wanted to sit down and make some ocs. This is just a conceptual refernce for Hew, and I want to make a nicer one in the future, but I was really excited to share him so, yea.

BTW if anyone knows any cool WOF rp servers/groups let me know. I've been starving for rp lately.

HEW
(He/They/Xe)

Hew is an adult sharkscale from Queen Fintear’s Pod with albinism.

Because of Hew’s condition, the threat of sunburn is much more severe. (Not to mention that the sun bothers xer eyes) With that packed on top of the acidic state of the salty seas their pod lives in, Hew is almost always scattered with sunburns across their flaky scales, made rough and thick from the constant damage.

Although Hew does participate in the scheduled desert hunts, they only do so at night, when they need not worry about the scorching of the sun nor the similarly searing sand under-claw.

To better contribute to the pod, as well as to help find work-arounds and treatments for his albinism, Hew has been taking up other skills to help him contribute to the pod.

For instance, Hew found an aloe plant on a hunt in the deserts, and after realizing it’s healing effects, able to soothe xer sunburns or saline-induced skin-irritations began to harvest and grow his own around the resting spots along hunting trails.

Hew also soon realized they could make use of the saline sea, scooping up the salty water up- Usually in palm leaves or the empty shells of long-gone creatures, then let the sun evaporate the water to harvest the grains of salt which Hew has begun trading other pods in exchange for food.

Another skill Hew has picked up is sewing. He’s made a hat to block the sun, out of palm leaves

An item Hew was especially proud of was a piece of head armor made from Shorescale scale-shells (which he bought through his trades) and pelts of the creatures caught on hunts. He sold the item to a Sharkscale who called herself Gutspill/Guttrail(another oc of mines), and was delighted when she commissioned them for a full set.

Hew has been so excited by the job in-fact, that xe are sometimes found slacking during hunting shifts and has had to be reprimanded a couple times now, and has been losing sleep to his work. Hew insists it’s worth it- They are holding strong to the idea that they could really profit off of this.
