Description
keeps pestering me to draw this guy! He's been in the planning stages for months! Meet Bosun Quint Trawler, a Vishbian from the planet Vishbiia!
OK, so he's a Fish guy, and a sailor/fisherman?! Lets think this one through...
Lets make him come from a Water Planet (with a few small islands), so his race starts off as fish. They evolve to breath air like dolphins, and they start to develop intelligence. But in the sea, nothing's permanent, you can't settle down and start thinking about stuff when the tide keeps destroying your inventions/homes. Also big seas = HUGE whale-sized predators. So they discover.... LAND! Yay! Vishbians start to evolve arms and legs to get round the tiny islands. Soon they build permanent settlements, discover science etc, but how to get between islands to trade with the other settlements? Boats and ships! And for that we need sailors like the good Bosun here.
See, a fishman who is also a sailor, easily explained through logic.

A Vishbian eh? I once dated a girl, then she left me for a girl. I think I turned her into a Vishbian. Wait...that's not right. Let me get back to you.
