In a world where apex predators clock in for a 9-to-5, Shark Pool follows the daily aquatic antics of an aquarium’s marine staff. The story centers on the ultimate workplace pairing: Viktor, a weary, chain-smoking blue shark who just wants to finish his shift in peace, and Orca, a massive, overly enthusiastic killer whale with a childlike wonder for the world around him.Together with a colorful cast of eccentric sea creatures, they navigate the mundane horrors of customer service, corporate bureaucracy, and their own conflicting wild instincts. It is a sharp, charming slice-of-life comedy about trying to stay professional when you are secretly at the top of the food chain.
Classic Shark Anatomy: He features a streamlined, aquamarine-blue dorsal upper body and a stark white belly, mimicking a real shark's countershading.The Gaze: He possesses a perpetual half-lidded, weary white eye that gives him a continuously unamused and stoic expression.Signature Headwear: He wears a matching light-blue employee trucker cap featuring a white rectangular patch with a dark blue shark logo stitched on the front.Simplified Features: His face is devoid of overt details, featuring a simple, sharp nostril slit and a clean jawline that holds a look of constant, calm indifference.Personality ProfileViktor is defined by his grounded, professional demeanor, acting as a direct foil to his more expressive orca coworker:The No-Nonsense Lead: He exudes the energy of a senior, exhausted aquarium employee. He prefers structure, routine, and getting the job done over fooling around.Stoic & Serious: Viktor rarely emotes heavily. While the orca often looks surprised, curious, or confused, Viktor keeps an unbothered, blank look.Patient but Exhausted: He acts like a protective, yet deeply tired older brother figure to the rest of the marine staff, quietly putting up with workplace antics and animal instinct mishaps while carrying out his duties
Bold Cetacean Palette: He features a classic killer whale coloration, with a smooth, midnight-black upper body and a crisp white underbelly that extends up toward his chin.Distinct Facial Markings: He sports the iconic, elongated white oval eye patches positioned just above and behind his eyes, instantly giving his head a friendly, recognizable silhouette.Wide, Innocent Gaze: Unlike Viktor’s weary, half-lidded eyes, Orca features large, perfectly round white eyes with tiny black pupils. This design gives him a perpetual look of childlike wonder, surprise, or intense curiosity.Signature Headwear: Perched comically on his large, rounded head is a bright orange employee trucker cap. The front of the cap features a white rectangular patch emblazoned with an orange killer whale logo.Prominent Dorsal Fin: A tall, dark, and perfectly straight triangular dorsal fin rises from his back, slicing through the water whenever he surfaces.Personality ProfileOrca serves as the energetic, chaotic, and cheerful foil to Viktor’s grumpy, grounded demeanor:Endlessly Curious: True to the nature of real killer whales, Orca is incredibly smart but easily bored. He is fascinated by small things (like the bubbles or debris floating between him and Viktor) and is constantly asking questions or tilting his head in confusion.Cheerful & Well-Meaning: He possesses a gentle giant mentality. Even though he is a massive apex predator, his disposition is completely harmless, upbeat, and eager to please his coworkers.Easily Distracted Sidekick: Orca has a playful, childlike attention span. While Viktor is trying to stay focused on his workplace duties, Orca is prone to getting sidetracked by random antics, making him a lovable but exhausting partner to manage. 11-12ft tall isn’t dumb he’s very smart doesn’t act like a child at all
