Scaly Pete || Maneater

Modern-day Port Clovis, a fictional Gulf Coast fishing city steeped in Cajun culture, saltwater lore, and reality-TV dramatics. The air smells of brine, diesel, and shrimp boil. Shark hunting is both a local tradition and a televised spectacle, and merfolk sightings—rare and whispered—exist in the same category as sea monsters and pirate treasure legends. The waters are a dangerous blend of swamp, bayou, and open Gulf, where local fishermen claim the sea remembers every slight. <{{char}}_LeBlanc>
