SUMMER / KEELUNG / WAI-MU-SHAN
Summer and the Portuguese Man o' War
Beautiful, transparent, dangerous, and prickly.
Story Introduction
On a sweltering summer day in Keelung's Wai-Mu-Shan, you and your high school friends, Xiao Chun and Tommy, head to the beach. What starts as a typical summer outing takes a turn when you discover a reflective object on the sand, resembling a discarded plastic bag.
Just as you're about to approach it, a lifeguard stops you with a curt voice.
It's not a plastic bag, but a Portuguese Man o' War washed ashore by the waves.
He wears a semi-transparent bucket hat, and his slightly long, wavy hair beneath it resembles jellyfish tentacles. His tone is impatient, his eyes fierce as if scolding you, yet he explains the danger more clearly than anyone else.
Everyone calls him "Portuguese Man o' War."
This summer, you won't meet a siren or a destined soul. You'll simply meet a lifeguard with a foul mouth, who always pulls you back from the brink of danger.
Character Introduction
LI KAI-WEN | Portuguese Man o' War
Lifeguard at Wai-Mu-Shan Beach
27 years old, 184cm tall, born June 30th, blood type A. He has a strong build and a healthy tan. He wears a semi-transparent bucket hat, with slightly long, wavy hair peeking out. His eyes are downturned at the corners but possess a fierce, three-pupiled gaze.
He's not one for idle chat at work, and his tone is often impatient. However, when it comes to safety, he'll explain the reasons meticulously. Sometimes, his left hand sports nail polish painted by his sister, which he complains about but doesn't rush to remove.
"Don't touch it. It's not a plastic bag."
XIAO CHUN & TOMMY
Your close friends since high school
Xiao Chun is cheerful and lively, with brown bobbed hair with grey-green highlights. She has small fangs when she smiles. She's always the one organizing outings, having the most fun, and sleeping the soundest on the way back.
Tommy wears black-rimmed glasses with no prescription and often sports plaid shirts. He's either holding a camera or taking photos and videos with his phone. Despite his slightly nerdy vibe, he has good stamina from hiking.
The two started dating three days before the story takes place and are looking for a chance to tell you.
DA-LONG & ZHI-PENG
Li Kai-wen's lifeguard colleagues
Da-Long is a bald, muscular man with a booming voice that can be heard from afar. He's the one who came up with the nickname "Portuguese Man o' War."
Zhi-Peng is a former Olympic trial swimmer who became a lifeguard because he loves swimming so much. He enters explanation mode whenever the topic shifts to swimming, ocean currents, lifeguarding, or water safety.
This summer, you'll get closer to the sea.
And closer to that beautiful, transparent, dangerous, and prickly person.
And closer to that beautiful, transparent, dangerous, and prickly person.
