Hello guys, I'm here for another skin for another contest! (Sorry for the late submission, 40 minutes before closure!)
Background Story
Here, I present you, Robert, the mighty fisherman!
Robert is no ordinary fisherman. Born in Hong Kong SAR, China, he lived in the small fishing town of Tai O for most of his life. Setting sail on his boat, he sails into the high seas with his trusty mate, Henry, to catch all kinds of fish ever known. Once setting sail, he wouldn't return for two whole weeks, and calls the sea his home. When returning back to Tai O, he would provide the fish caught to his family, and sell the remainder to earn a profit. He wishes his family to move into the city and work, and to change their lives. He typically doesn't spend more than a month on shore, and sets sail again after buying supplies.
Robert had experienced many problems over the years. Once, he had sailed too close to the Philipines, and was sadly robbed by pirates. Losing half of his supplies and fish caught, he was forced to sail back. Every summer, typhoons (hurricanes) would prevent Robert from setting sail that frequently. He had even been caught in one before, nearly capsizing his boat. But something worse had happened before. A terrible fire broke out on Tai O in 2000, burning down a lot of the town and his house. He was at sea at that time, and once he got the message, he sailed at full speed back to port. Shockingly, his father died in the unfortunate accident, and the depressed family held a funeral, and his father's ashes were scattered out at sea.
Now, Robert has grown too old, and has retired from his "job", barely going out to sea. He sits on the porch of his rebuilt house in Tai O, staring at the sea, missing his father.
(The location is real, but the character is made up!)

How it relates to Life on the High Seas (May not be necessary :D )
Robert the fisherman is a mighty fish-catcher, setting sail for two weeks in a row at a time, sailing through the high seas. He lives in his boat, and he calls the sea his home.
