The gatherer is responsible for sourcing food for the city. They travel into the ocean depths each day to catch fish for the citizens. I gave the gatherer tentacles like an octopus.

The Guard's duty is to protect the city against dangerous oceanic creatures. I designed the character to resemble the gatherer but with a bulkier, more muscular physique, suited for the role of city protection.
