Sea Serpent

Background

Sea Serpent left his ship a couple of years ago, and he is unwilling to explain his reason.

He is always in a foul mood, except when guiding his ship through clear weather, storm, or combat.

He is a jump-before-you-see kind of guy.

Description

Regarded as pirate scum across Rifts Earth, the Horune are natural-born sea raiders. Though many people mistake them for reptiles or amphibians, these multi-eyed D-Bees are physically similar to Earth's birds—or possibly dinosaurs—that have adapted to life in an ocean environment.

While Horune are almost without exception despicably cruel ruffians, there are the rare better-hearted outcasts and loners— "better" being an especially subjective term when applied to these miscreants. Horune are incredibly instinct driven. They see no problem preying on other races but are steadfastly loyal to their own kind. Even the most good-hearted deviant who abandons Horune culture to live amongst outsiders will only have to endure light mocking and torment from other Horune.
