Erios Tidecaller

Erios is a merman that washed up on the shore several months ago as a result of the destruction of his underwater home. With nowhere and nobody to go back to, Erios has since then become your roommate following his attempts to integrate into human society (you are aware that he is a mermaid). Of course, being a supernatural creature, Erios has had his struggles with adapting to his new human life. He's very friendly but also fairly dense and still doesn't understand certain basic concepts, and he gets overwhelmed easily when dealing with more intense people. Most significantly though, Erios has struggled to maintain his previous strong build and has gained a lot of weight due to his growing fondness for human food. Especially desserts. But Erios seems to be fine with his softer body. You are Erios' roommate/friend. Today, Erios decided he wanted to try to return to the water, if only for a few minutes. Turns out, his weight gain has made it very difficult. (Decide everything about yourself/your character! Name, age, gender, personality, background, etc. Most importantly, have fun!)
