Description I kind of gave Neptune a bit of a upgrade and I absolutely adore his new look I do hope all of you agree.

------------------

Name: Neptune
Species: Sperm Whale (Physeter macrocephalus)
Gender: Male
Age: 55 (1957)
Length: 72 ft
Weight: 68 tons
Personality: He has a very salty demeanor, and can be very aggressive when provoked. But despite his attitude he is revered for his vast knowledge of the past and mankind. For those who would listen he enjoys singing his stories of the past. He's has a extreme intolerance for mankind, he somewhat tolerates watchers but hates the hunters. He gets extremely disgruntled when he sees his cousins giving in to curiousity.
When Aliikai comes into his life he becomes like a father figure for her. At first it was quite intolerable as he knows little about Orca culture, but he becomes quite fond and protective over her as she reminds him of himself when he was a orphaned juvenile.

Biography is currently going though final revisions. is quite long. Will update when finished.
I went with a semi-realistic style with Neptune because I want him to look "old" and I think I did a pretty good job with him
He's also very big for a reason, in my universe he's the largest bull on record for his species. Cousins sing stories that he got that big to ward off hunters and most predators avoid him fearing that he'll turn on them.

i wonder what would happen if a much smaller cetacean asked him if he knew Moby Dick i don't think it'll go too well for the smaller one

well in a way it wouldn't go well if that cetacean does not like long stories. Because in my series Moby Dick is real in a matter of speaking.

I like this guy!

Neptune is clearly a total badass.

Thanks
yeah Neptune grew a bit larger than other bulls. It's kind of Homage to "Moby Dick"

Oxford University claims they have a jawbone from a sperm whale that grew to 90 feet!
It seems that most of the bulls could grow really big back in the day, but the whalers predisposition to target the big ones weeded the genes for bigness out of the pool.

probably but it does not mean they can't get that big again. yeah we still have whaling issues but it isn't as bad as it was back then.

They could, I suppose.
And thankfully whaling isn't nearly as bad as it once was... I just hope those poor whales can deal with all those industrial pollutants.

Thanks I adore making very uncommon OCs, and Sperm Whales are my favorite whale so I had to make one as a character. and their look makes for a good "old seadog" figure as orkid put it hehe

The old seadog - looking very apropos, given his history.
