I want you to bear in mind that Captain Martin Nelson is in a world where all of the characters are animals - Nelson himself being an otter. Enjoy reading.
Standing about six foot tall, you'd think that he was a tramp by the look of him if you saw in in the streets and not on the bridge of the Revenge and if he wasn't wearing ruffled naval uniform. His fur and whiskers aren't neatly cut to equal length, some whiskers were shorter than others and his brown fur looked like it hadn't been cleaned for at least a week. Nelson's uniform was covered is patches of brown mud and dried spilt beer and rum, all showing signs of wear and tear. A shoulder belt hung over Nelson's light brown overcoat, the buckle over Nelson's right shoulder. There was nothing handsome in Nelson's appearance and wouldn't make you think that he was a British naval officer, or even a hero.
A six foot tall Otter?
