Selkie

Sea Rescue Hero: Selkie (海難ヒーロー セルキー) is a Pro Hero and Captain of the Oki Mariner.

Appearance
Selkie is a man with a muscular physique, but with the appearance of a humanoid spotted seal that has a gray beard.

He sports a full body wetsuit as his hero costume, featuring yellow goggles, retractable flippers and a stylized "S" featured on the left shoulder.

Personality
Selkie is a confident, kind, and professional individual who prioritizes his hero work and protecting his crew. He has a tendency to try (and succeed in) making himself look cute, despite his macho appearance, much to the annoyance of his sidekicks. Even so, he can be quite stern when the situation calls for it.

Vs. Hero Killer Arc
Aboard the Oki Mariner, Selkie yells at Sirius and Tsuyu Asui for slacking off but apologizes using his cute persona after he finds out they have finished all their work. He and the crew later sail off to pursue stowaways who stole cargo from a trade boat. When they happen upon the supposed criminal ship, Selkie goes without Sirius and Tsuyu to investigate.

He and two of his sidekicks investigate the ship, only to be trapped inside by Innsmouth's lackeys. Selkie only returns to the action when Tsuyu relays an S.O.S across using Sirius's radio. Selkie finds Tsuyu and Sirius overpowered by Innsmouth himself. Innsmouth blinds Selkie using his ink, but Selkie uses echolocation to find and defeat him. Afterward, the stolen goods are returned and Selkie claims that Tsuyu will make a great hero one day.

Shie Hassaikai Arc
When Class 1-A was told that only Hero Offices with good histories were allowed to accept interns, Tsuyu considered calling Selkie. Unfortunately, Selkie's agency did not meet the proper standards, and Tsuyu interned under Ryukyu instead.

Endeavor Agency Arc
After a ship suspected of smuggling Trigger got away using a massive smokescreen, Selkie teams up with Ryukyu and her students. He then tells the girls to relax on the beach to improve their morale, before heading out to find the ship at sunset. At sea, Selkie and Tsuyu head underwater to locate the ship before sneaking on top of it. Using his echolocation, Selkie locates and defeats two smugglers using Selkie Punch, but the drugs have already been transported onto a cargo ship, which began to take off.

Ochaco manages to take down the smuggler flying the plane, and Ryukyu safely lands the plane on the water. They find Trigger in the ship and are glad that they stopped the smugglers in time. Later, when the girls are relaxing once more, Selkie and Ryukyu discuss their findings, including that the smugglers were couriers for an anonymous employer and that the drugs were headed for Otheon in Europe, though Selkie declares that there's nothing to worry about as they stopped their plans.

Paranormal Liberation War Arc
By the end of March, thanks to Hawks' espionage and police investigation, the Hero Public Safety Commission discover several hideouts of the Paranormal Liberation Front - the most important being Jaku General Hospital and Gunga Mountain Villa - and organize a large force of heroes to raid both and take down the villain organization. Selkie is part of the team of heroes in charge of raiding the Gunga Mountain Villa.

Attacking by surprise, the heroes nearly overwhelmed the PLF, but the situation drastically changes when Gigantomachia springs into action to reunite with Tomura at the hospital, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake. While several heroes try to stop the hulking beast, the rest face the PLF soldiers. Selkie prepares to help fight Re-Destro.
