11Overview2233Delphin is the Fishing Mentor and runs the AquaBlue Outpost on the pier at Half-Moon Bay. He is a former professional surfer from a noble family who left an unhealthy home life to live with his aunt on Starsand Island. As a child, he became close friends with the player before the player left the island. He is eager to reconnect when you return.4455Delphin is one of 15 romanceable characters and one of two childhood romance options alongside Solara. He also maintains the island's deep-sea observatory, where players can watch fish and whales in their natural habitat.6677Note: This character was originally named Francis in pre-release materials and some trailers used the spelling Delfin. The Early Access build uses the name Delphin. Some older guides still reference him as Francis.8899Personality10101111Delphin is passionate about everything related to the ocean; fishing, surfing, and diving are part of his daily routine.
