Martin Mertens

Background: Martin Mertens is the Biological human father to Finn Mertens and the Ex-husband to Minerva Campbell.

Before Martin became a father and husband, he was a criminal who inhabited a human-"controlled island known as 'Hub Island'. He was a con-man who attempted to rob and steal his way to a good life, often getting himself into danger with less-than-friendly people or deal with the Island's authorities. One time he tricked a group of 'Hiders' (People who desperately wanted to escape the island) into thinking there was a escape route only he knew. Unfortunately for Martin, The Hiders forced him to come along in their escape which was ultimately a failure, He ended up with a broken leg and a concussion.

He wound up in the hospital where he met his future wife, Minerva Campbell, Who was a 'Helper' (A doctor). He would ask her on a date and she accepted. After some time Martin would become a father when his only son was born, Finn Mertens, was born. For awhile he genuinely had changed himself; He had a loving wife, he was a father and he was on the straight-and-narrow. But that all changed; One stormy night while Minerva was off for work, He assaulted by old enemies who planned to take his life.

So he fled with baby Finn in his arms and would attempt to keep low on a raft. Unfortunately, The Raft would stray too far from the island - A giant mechanical guardian attempted to destroy the raft to ensure nothing ever escaped. Using a laser weapon, Martin blinded the giant but the giant split the raft in two. Martin never saw Finn since.

After drifting at sea, He would be rescued by a band of pirates from the nearby landmass of Ooo. Ever since he was saved and with a whole landmass to make his prowling grounds, He has become a infamous criminal across the Land Of Ooo who has pretty much done everything - From Extortion to Grand Larceny.

He doesn't know if both Finn or Minerva are even alive, nor about much of anything about them really as he had gained severe head trauma after his encounter with the guardian.

Appearance: Martin is a chubby man with a long, dark blond beard, mustache and a mostly bald head, with the exception of a single, curling hair at the top.

He wears a red leotard, a old military jacket and a pair of red boots. He may or may not have a noticeable dent on the back of his head.

Personality: Martin is an incredibly selfish, lazy, ignorant exploitative and narcissistic individual who barely acknowledges other's presence unless it benefits him. If in danger, He'll focus on saving just himself and nobody else.

Martin is also a very emotionally barren person. He has absolutely no empathy and does not seem to understand how his actions affect others, such as treating other's emotional attempts to bond with little more than irritation and ingratitude.

Martin doesn't like to maintain relationships with anybody or stay at any one particular place, always running away to the next destination without care for what he destroys. He believes in constantly burning bridges to go fowards.

Because of his painful headaches, Martin has become a drug addict who constantly needs to numb the pain in order to keep on going his business and will resort to pretty much any measure - From weird potions to dusts, he'll take it. All this has also made him delusional and poopbrained.

Yet despite all this, he still believes himself to be searching for a supposed lost son of his - He doesn't know who his son is or even if he exists, but he just has a gut feeling his boy is still out there somewhere.
