Update: Just added a bit, especially to his strengths/weaknesses.

Edit: He got a name!!! Frickity damn. Never has it been so hard to name someone. Damn. Next time it's seriously just click, close my eyes and point. X(

Ok. I caved. Here's my guy. Knight of Pontos. This character embodies everything I can't draw... Manly men, straight lines, and water. AAUUUUUUGGGGGHHHHHH! Whoever gets me first round may as well know they are going to win because just the ref drove me bonkers.
On the other hand it's a dude.

CIVILIAN FORM

First Name: Makaio (or Maki) (pronounced mah-kye-oh)
Last Name: Thaumas
Gender: Dude
Race/Species: merdude... uhh.... Merman
Info/Description (If Not Human): Sexy upper bod, eely lower bod. His tail is actually supposed to resemble kelp.
History: This guy is from the planet of Pontos (same planet as Squishy, for all you SMOCT1 people... in fact they are distantly related!), a blue/green ocean planet whose people are either mer-people or amphibian. The amphibians looks almost human while the deeper below the waves you go, the less they resemble what we think of as normal people. Pontos is mostly peaceful with the occasional youma or monster invading. The Knight's job is to keep the place safe and act as a designated superhero when times get really rough.
Age: 26
Birthday: The 9th day of Thalassian
Alignment(good, evil, neutral?): good
Eye Color: blue pupils so big that you can only see the whites when he's surprised or looks to the side. (the better to see in the dark!)
Skin Tone/Shade: Mocha chocolatta ya ya
Height: 6 feet even with legs, around 8-9 feet with the flipper
Occupation: Guardian of the Planet and all around hero guy
Personality: Lazy. He has a slow temper because he really doesn't care too much about mundane stuff. He has the easy-going air of someone who just accepts the circumstances and goes with the flow. For a worthwhile challenge he will rise to the occasion. Has a pinch of machismo in there for good measure. Is a bad loser, but only until the thing is really over, then he gets past it in seconds.
Likes: Swimming (of course), sea food (not big into cooked stuff, mostly fresh tropical foods), adventuring where there's no one in his way, a solid challenge, truthfulness, people with honest intentions, comfy clothes good for beaching. Lesbians and straight men who won't always be molesting him with their eyes.
Dislikes: Women (and gay men) who throw themselves at him because they do it ALL the time on Pontos and he is really getting sick of it, dishonesty, pointless things (unless they are also highly amusing)
Hobby/Hobbies: training, fighting, chillaxing
Other Information: The aquatic people of Pontos needed a way to visit and explore the land so long ago they conjured up magic that would allow them to build legs and lungs for individuals. The magic is complex, expensive and very exclusive, but can be of great quality. If you go to some back alley leg maker your legs might only last like a month or be the wrong sex or something, but our Knight here had his specially made by the top most sorceress in the kingdom who is also his childhood friend. His legs and lungs are of such high quality that, if he should chose to, he could move to a land-locked place for the rest of his life (indeed some merfolk have done just that for marriage and careers and such). The magic body parts are enclosed in an enchanted shell for storage and easy retrieval. The fins and gills stay in the shell until needed.
On Pontos magic is closer to science, like alchemy, so it's not quite as mystical. It's a common career choice for young mer-people.

SENSHI/CREATURE FORM

Name: Knight of Pontos/Pontos/Makaio/Sir Knight
Racial Advantages: Can swim like a boss, super human night vision due to giant pupils, isn't bothered by cold unless it's literally down to freezing point
Transformation Item: Enchanted sea shell
Transformation Phrase: none
Transformation Sequence Info: The shell holds all his clothes as well as his magic legs. All he does is pull out the item he wants and whatever is about to he swapped out glows and becomes his armor.
Alter Egos: minor royalty on Pontos, but no one is supposed to know they are the same people for his own safety
Guardian Of: Pontos, all oceans
Abilities: Breathes underwater, superhuman night vision, able to keep his head in the worst of situations, good with hand to hand combat and weapon (best with the Triton of course), agile on land and in water, decently resourceful although no MacGyver, can bestow his gills onto others in emergency situations (although body parts not made for a person may get rejected in just a few minutes-hours... it'll do to save someone from drowning, though)
Attacks:
Pontos Gauntlet- He does not have to say the attack. The Pontos Knight can control any water to wrap around his arm and become any weapon he chooses. Even a bigger version of his own fist. The more water the stronger the attack. He can control water in any form, although liquid salt water is best. If someone throws ice or vapor his way he might not be able to control it, but might be able to redirect the attack just enough to save his bacon.
Nereids' Grace- Healing move. The crystal inside his triton releases a healing light to fix surface wounds. It can be swallowed to heal internal wounds. If given to a healthy person it just boosts their vigor. The crystal must be recharged in water after each use for about 10 hrs. (the crystal, which is really crystallized water energy, will reform) Can be used for purification if it charges in holy waters of any sort.
Triton Attacks - not magic. He can just poke the crap out of you with that thing.
Weakness: Fire/heat/dryness... dryness even more than fire because it really saps his energy. He may be able to put out very small fire moves with great effort. He gets sluggish in heat, sensitive to intensely bright light (bc of those big ol' pupils that give him good night vision)
Personality: same

Say hello to the manly man of SMOCT! This ain't no girly, pretty, bishounen pansy! Hellsa no. This is the cat who makes all the ladies swoon (Shaft! can you dig it?), This is the dude who puts the jealousy into all the menfolk (Shaft! right on), He's a complicated man and no one understands him but his woooomaaaannnnn (John Shaft!).
Ok, Disregard that last line. You get the image. But, yes. Back on Pontos, the Knight has the right and responsibility of helping any citizen who might need him. His celebrity status (hot bodah) and inability to say no to anyone in trouble (by oath and law) makes him a prime target for groupies. All a gal (or guy!) has to do is wrap herself in some kelp and struggle just as the Knight walks by. He's bound by his status to save you. Easy peasy. And the groupies of Pontos have abused this law to the max. It's gotten so bad that our poor Knight can't walk down the street without having to free some mermaid wedged loosely between some rocks. He's gotten to the point where he regards all women and men-of-a-certain-persuasion as tricksters and desperate. What had once seemed like a glorious, endless stream of mer-booty has only made him jaded. And he needs a break! So when the offer comes from some far off place to fight for some vague thing... Why the hell not?!

Honestly, he has women friends . Anyone who just treats him normally will win points in his mind. Anyone who swoons over him is automatically downgraded in his mind.

Edit: Yes I am hella tired as I write this. Can you tell? XD

Edit 2: Oh boy, I went back and realized that Maki sounds like a real asshole. XD
I wanna say that he doesn't hate women and stuff. It's just that, well... imagine being a rock star, but you have to deal with EVERY SINGLE fan. Even the psychos and the under age girls trying to get into your pants. Not to mention having to save them after they get themselves into trouble just to get his attention. It's not the awesome.
So he's really just tired of stupid people
