Torpedo the Dolphin

This is an article about Torpedo the Dolphin, a character created by Detective SkullWolf on 02/12/2017.

Personality
Torpedo can be described as calm, confident, and considerate. He is extremely informal, almost never referring anyone by their proper titles, often adopting his own for them (such as referring to Sonic himself as "The Blue Runner".

When it comes to the law, however, he is rather strict. He believes that no one has a right to break the rules, and if they have a problem with it then they should petition to have the rules changed. As a result, he doesn't seem to have much love for the various gangs that inhabit the Abyss, though this has not stopped him from saving them on one occasion.

He is always willing to come to the aid of anyone in trouble, even if they might be a criminal. Unfortunately, this has gotten him into trouble on occasion.

Enhanced Bone Structure
The bones in Torpedo's body are extremely durable to the point where they are nearly unbreakable. This allows Torpedo to deal devastating damage by ramming his body against his enemies without the risk of self-injury. Combined with his enhanced swimming, Torpedo has the strength and speed necessary to tear holes in ships. Furthermore, his bones help prevent attacks from injuring him too deeply; they can outright block bladed-weapons.

Echolocation
Being a dolphin, Torpedo is capable of emitting sound waves that reflect off of things and back to him. Through this, he is capable of determining the location and identity of both objects and people. This a rather useful power for when he is looking for something or someone in particular.

Enhanced Swimming
Torpedo is capable of swimming at record-breaking speeds with both ease and grace. His swimming capabilities rivals that of a certain Blue Blur's running. He can traverse the sea in a matter of hours. However, the faster he swims, the more trouble he seems to have at making sudden turns.

Weaknesses
Though his bones help protect him from attacks, they do not cover the entirety of Torpedo's body. An enemy possessing x-ray vision or other variant of super vision can see where best to strike him. Torpedo is particularly vulnerable to surface damage, where his bones cannot protect him.

A more obvious weakness is Torpedo's lack of gills. Being a mammal, he has lungs and therefore must surface from the sea every once in a while to keep himself from drowning. If he is prevented from doing so, he is a goner. The longest he can hold his breath is twenty-five minutes. Finally, Torpedo is incapable of maneuvering on land. If he ends up beached, he is left defenseless and vulnerable. Though he can breathe on land, Torpedo's body is not built to survive anywhere but the ocean. Eventually, he will succumb to overheating or his weight crushing his own organs.
