Shares a small house with FF, Ermes, and his dog (Ellie). Sleeps tucked in his shell, and chose the attic for his room. Does odd-jobs around Merain, and helps a little at Kit-Tea as well. Otherwise tends to either stay at home, or tail after familiar people. Likes playing basketball with Leo, and notably sees him, Donatello, April, and Kirby as 'friends'. For more on Emporio's day-to-day, send a message for plotting.

MONSTER INFO;

As a merperson, Emporio greatly resembles a mix of numerous turtles; on land, while he has no seeming fins, his legs and arms are heavily scaled and mutated. They are closer to the paws of aquatic turtles than they are hands and feet, bearing the five 'toes', long claws, webbing, and markings of a red-eared slider in particular. The noted 'red stripes' of such turtles can be found on his face, though they greatly resemble tear tracks in their placement.

Emporio also has a long scaled tail, a turtle's snout/beak (with leatherback sea turtle 'spikes' inside his throat), and even a full shell. Due to an accidental purchase from Mana, this shell operates akin to an ornate box turtle's; he is able to fully retract and hide inside, closing up the front and back, though this offers no defensive benefit. Aesthetically speaking, Emporio's full influences involve in addition the Barbour's Map Turtle- from which the 'fins' on the back of shell originate.

Underwater, Emporio's shell elongates greatly, while his legs and arms become the flippers and fins of a sea turtle. As his spell remains in place underwater, he is able to retract almost entirely into the shell while in this form- however, as his fins are too long to fully do so, they are left to partly hang out through the hinges. This causes his underwater shelled state to resemble a stylized dolphin, particularly with the 'fins' on the shell.

Per the requirements of all mer, Emporio must somehow consume energy from a human being once a month. He prefers to do this by draining fluids through a cut, though he has resorted to drowning victims of soul-feeding in the past. He has yet to try drowning a truly living person, and has no intentions of changing this.

As a final note, Emporio has access to water magic, and is able to conjure and manipulate it at will. He is also able to lure humans using his voice, though he has yet to truly realize this. Unrelated to his normal monster changes, he has a tendency to bite into most foods rather than peeling or cutting them properly, and as well, enjoys collecting strange rocks.

MANA REWARDS - CW: STONE OCEAN SPOILERS

As of early 2023, Emporio purchased back the Stand inherited at the final episode and battle in his series- 'Weather Report'. While typically an incredibly powerful Stand, at the cost of Weather retaining their relative 'sentience' (in as much as exhibited by a Stand) and independence, their actual capabilities have been severely decreased. Weather Report can no longer float, with their only abilities relating to their 'summon' (as the Stand itself manifests from Emporio and is connected to him at a subconscious level) and the Weather remaining. Per summoning, Weather is an entity seemingly formed of cloud and vapor in solid form, making them difficult to harm; a vital point, as harming Weather harms Emporio.

As for his ability to manipulate the weather itself, this power is somewhat connected to Emporio's will- however, it only affects a range of three yards around him, and these effects cannot cause harm to other monsters.

FIRST CHANGE SET - 04/11/2022

No physical changes of note developed. Emporio's sole change and indicator of 'species' was extreme hydrophilicity; he needed to drink abnormal amounts of water.

SECOND CHANGE SET - 04/12/2022

Gradual changes began; in addition to a growing hoarding instinct and enhancement of senses, nails began to harden and lengthen into claws. Emporio's skin began to appear 'dry', and by 16/12 this 'dryness' became identifiable as the development of scales. In Emporio's throat, various 'teeth' formed akin to a leatherback sea turtle's own.

THIRD CHANGE SET - 04/01/2023

The abrupt onset of a turtle's shell came into being over the course of a number of hours; this was combined with and followed by a purchase from Mana allowing Emporio to tuck his full body in to this shell. From 04/01 to approximately 09/01, the rest of Emporio's body rapidly altered in appearance to become more 'turtle-like'.

FINAL CHANGE SET - 25/01/2023

All mandatory physical changes- including, outside his own knowledge, his 'water state'- have come into effect. Emporio's craving for human energy began to take effect at this time, and was sated through drowning. From this point onward, all mandatory changes are complete.
