Personality:Erik can seem cold and harsh as a strict rule enforced but he’s loving towards all the mermaids under is command and has nothing but their welfare in mind. He is strict and stubborn but has a soft spot for outsiders who seek a new home amongst his clan and those who are already a part of his clan viewing them as one big happy family. He finds being a leader to sometimes be a very lonely role since he is the one enforcing the law. He also only eats meat no veggies don’t try to make him eat healthy. He will fight you for a steak.

History: Erik has been in the same clan since he was born. After they were driven out of their old home 5 years ago he lost his left eyesight fighting for his family’s right to stay. He witnessed a lot of the old clans demise and it still haunts him. He distrusts and dislikes humans believing their only interest in mermaids is to capture or harm them for research. He has become the sheriff of the small town in hopes to protect the mermaids from being discovered and to keep and eye on the mermaids (as best as he can) while they are in their human form.

Job/Spot in clan: leader of the clan and sheriff of the town

Other: Erik has a dagger he carried with him in mermaid and human form with an aquamarine gem in the handle it was a gift from his father after his passing he also has a fear of fire and his stubbornness can cause issues amongst the others in the clan.

41294621760c598b3e0722d41bab0bae (2).jpg
Age:
20
Gender:
female
Species:
mermaid; lion fish tail. Red coloration.
Just-look-at-the-bunch-of-colors-in-it.jpg

Appearance:
eb070010b7ea4ab05554a0ce817c3f021.jpg
156288291224113019.jpeg

Personality:
If she had a spirit animal it would be a dolphin. She's quite playful and friendly however to those she considers hostile her barbs come out from her tail. The spines are poisonous. She can be a little nervous at first but once she gets to know someone she speaks her mind. Her inquisitive mind never stops especially for the human realm, mostly because she doesn't understand humans and their strange ways. Since she doesn't have many memories of the ocean she longs to explore their old territory. She doesn't need a reason to feel how she feels however and her emotions tend to get the best of her. She tends to like sparkly baubles and is frightened easily by dogs.

History:
She had memories of the takeover from the other mermaid clan when she was just a tween. She doesn't really remember the ocean, only the feelings of comfort that came with it. Her mother and father died when in the war that followed and through their deaths she realized how her clan truly could not return to their homeland. The old territory are some of the only precious memories she carries of her family so it's especially painful that she can't return.

Job/Spot in clan:
Healer

Other: (characters hobbies, interests, important objects/weapons, weaknesses and strengths)

+ She is naive and fairly clueless about the world although she is booksmart
+ She wishes they were by the ocean so she could have a pet dolphin
+ She has a good foundation in swimming but lacks speed considering it's been some time since she's been in the water.
+ She loves reading and books
+ She's secretly a hopeless romantic
+ She owns a gilded knife given to her by her mother. Once it was used as a weapon, and it still can, but mostly it's used as a last resort
- she has an herb knife that can be used for gathering medicinal plants. It's fairly sharp and she also uses it for surgery and extraction.


Maverick Romulus
"Maves"

alex-prange-2.jpg
Age:
25
Gender:
male
Species:
human
Appearance:
height: 6'3"
eye color: green
body: muscular but not as muscular as some mermen. Still he might be able to hold his own until he can get his gun.
156092644991678563 (2).jpg
Personality:
Maverick tends to be a quiet, keep to himself kind of man. Still he can't help but chuckle in amusement when he hears tales of mermaids. Reminds him of when his father took him out fishing. He found out quickly that the fisherman's life wasn't for him although he loved the atmosphere and opened up a bar in the small town. He's secretly a wild child and after some persuasion he can be convinced to do some of the more rebellious activities he used to partake in


History:
Although most people don't know this (unless they're natives) Maves used to be somewhat of a rebel. He was a heavy partier and drinker and was often found graffitying the town and participating in illegal car races. That was until his dad got sick. Then he realized he had to step up due to hospital bills and he had to quit college due to the money going to advanced medical treatments. He pulled in favors from the shadier crowd and also took out a loan from the bank. Currently he's trying to pay back the gangs he owes before paying back the bank
When he opened up the small town ocean bar he named it Tidal Potions. His dad helped him pick it out before he passed of pancreatic cancer right around the time the newcomers came to town. The mixing of his father's death and the thought of magic comforted his soul.
Maverick has heard it all. The old wives tales about mermaids who take human form.. the thought that some of the strange new folk over the past few years were something not entirely human. Nothing gets past his ears in this small town's bar. Mostly fisherman just talk and laugh and try to escape their wives notice... or maybe meet up with a mistress. As for religion Maverick doesn't subscribe to it. His dad was a firm believer in the Lord but all the sunday school preaching seemed wasted on Maverick.
Job:
Bartender/owner
Other: characters hobbies, interests, important objects/weapons, weaknesses and strengths (can be as little or as many as you wish!)

+ He tends to like alcohol (which was why he chose a bar)
+ Although he loves the myths of mermaids he's actually scared of the ocean due to him almost drowning when he was a child. And the thought he could be pulled into the depths
+ He doesn't go farther than his waist in water when he goes in (recreationally)
+ He always tends to carry a handgun (Smith & Wesson 500) due to the diversity of patrons. Some patrons can get rowdy and some of them carry concealed firearms.​

601011

Name:
Elijah

Age:
52

Gender:
Male

Species:
Human

Appearance:
Stands 6'4 and is in great physical condition despite his age

Personality:
Elijah is a quiet, stoic, inquisitive man. He can come off as serious to those first meeting him due to his expression, but they learn soon enough that it's just how his face is. He is as secretive as he is stoic, and gives off the feeling he knows more than he ever lets on.

History:
Almost nothing of Elijah's past is known by any of the newer residents/inhabitants of the town, except he has ran the local bookstore since he was "a boy" as he puts it. His parents were fishermen who moved out of town once Elijah turned eighteen, leaving him to live in the family home that he converted into the bookstore that is so well known to this day, named "Shoreside Reeds"

Job (optional but encouraged)/Spot in clan:
Elijah owns the well known Shoreside Reeds, a bookstore filled with books of every kind associated with any creature, myth, legend, story, or thing involving water, the oceans, and every sea and lake of the world.

Other:

He tells people his scars came from him being attacked by a shark when he was a teen during a fishing accident
He loves knowledge and information of every kind
He knows that the merfolk exist

He likes to spend as much time in the ocean as he can
He is arguably the best human swimmer in town and happily accepts challenges to swimming competitions​

Name: Caliope Laylavie

Age: 24

Gender: Female

Species: Gray Whale
Tail Reference - More of a silvery-purple/blue hue
205-2051146_gray-whale.png

Size comparison between a human and a gray whale - the whale is similar in size to her mermaid form
gray-whale-size.jpg

Appearance:
  • Straight violet-tinted silver hair that flows down to her mid-back
  • Dark irises with hints of blue
  • Oddly tall and willowy

Personality: A bit of an aloof daydreamer. She generally goes about her day in a laidback manner, rarely brought to the heights of different emotions. Despite how she might seem, she isn't dumb, just relaxed and calm whilst going about her daily business.

History: She joined the mermaid clan of crystal cove recently, only a few weeks ago actually, so she has heard very little of the tragedy that fell her fellow mermaids all those years ago. Before that, she was a wanderer, a nomad mermaid. She left her old clan years ago, choosing to travel the world and gain valuable experience through exploration. At the moment, she is intrigued by the mermaid-themed human town and so decided to join the clan nearby and look around.

Job/Clan Role: Accessory Maker-Seller/Gatherer
Accessory making was chosen as her human job, due to convenience. She has no strict work hours, which appeals to her laidback nature, and whilst gathering she can collect materials to craft little trinkets to sell. It's a win-win situation in her book.

Other
Hobbies
: Tinkering, thinking of uses for new materials, fiddling, exploring, drawing/sketching
Likes: Shiny things, synchronisation, silver(colour), taking her time
Dislikes: Deadlines, overly-paranoid people/worrywarts, sea cucumbers, overly sweet food
Important Items: Pearl locket carefully and painstakingly crafted by her mother before she left home.

Shes awesome! Love that she’s part whale she’s gonna have to be good at hiding! :D
Thank you! I had a few ideas for that, she could always just try and run away on land in human form, but if not I had an imagination of her pretending to be the floor/a hill on the seafloor xD
(Just get some of the other mermaids to stick some seaweed, rocks and sand on her xP)

Er, didn't realize that was an option to be honest. Think it'd be more fun if she's just a giant mermaid swimming around, unable to change her form. Would be an interesting character concept, and make it more difficult ^^
Hey, things don't always go the way you want it to in life xP

Faceclaim: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/3AXZ1ZPw3S0/sddefault.jpg#404_is_fine

Name: Captain James Waterson

Age: 79

Gender: Male

Species: Human

Appearance: 5'7, 125, silver balding hair, and blue eyes.

Personality: friends and neighbors often regard captain James Waterson as an old grump. He usually spends most of his time in his house, often grumbling and complaining about the things that annoy him, like the neighbors lawn-mower, the cat's constant meowing, etc. He is also well-known for being a grudge-holding person, often holding grudges against people for decades at a time. Besides his negative traits, to his grandsons and close friends, James is a kindly, generous old salt willing to do anything to help his friends and family and to support his community.

History: Captain James Waterson is a retired sea captain living in Crystal Cove with his two Grandsons. In his glory days, he would sail around the world as the head of a cargo ship owned by the Corman Spice Company. Throughout his time as a sea captain, he has heard many stores from sailors regarding mermaids but always regarded them as myths and legend. That is until he caught a glimpse of one himself one day while on the Indian Ocean. Try as he might, however, he could never get anyone to believe his story to be true, which sparked a life-long obsession of the Captain's to ain proof of mermaids being real, preferably with a live specimen. This obsession would soon turn to hatred decades when the old sea captain, now in his 60s and recently widowed, found out he had to take in his two grandsons after their parents died in a mysterious boating accident. The Captain, blaming mermaids for his son's death and for leaving his beloved grandchildren orphaned, vowed to hunt them to the ends of the earth to avenge his whole family, unaware of the clan living amongst them.

Job: Retired

Other: James is a skilled sailor, harpooner, and navigator. He loves a good game of golf and is often seen playing weekends at the local course.

Name: Hank Waterson

Age: 20

Gender: Male

Species: Human

Appearance: Tall, brown hair, blue eyes,

Personality: Hank is a rough-and-tumble young man with a gruff exterior. He is a short-tempered and will get angry over the smallest insult provocation, or general annoyance. Like his grandfather, he is known for holding grudges and won't let go of them easily. However, he has a softer, more laid-back side when around friends and family, having a great sense of humor and often showing a more optimistic, cheerful side not seen when around town. He can also get quite nostalgic when reminiscing about his past, especially about his childhood adventures in Crystal Cove. When in states like this, or when in a generally good mood, Hank is a friendlier, more approachable young man.

History: Hank and his little brother Saul were orphaned at the ages of 12 and 10 when their Parents died in a mysterious boating accident. Sent to live with their sea salt Grandfather in the town of Crystal Cove, Hank was immediately engrossed in the mermaid centric culture of the city and hoped to see one someday. However, as the years went on, hs started to scoff at the old legends and began to focus on a new fascination of his, motorcycles. This love lasted up onto high-school graduation where his Grandfather bought him a motorcycle as a going away present for him before he went off to college. However, that has never happened, and Hank has ended up falling in with a group of motorcyclists called The Hammerheads, whom the townsfolk considers punks.

Job: None

Other: His possessions consists of a pocket knife, a pair of aviator sunglasses and most importantly, his Harley-Davidson motorcycle.

Name: Saul Waterson

Age: 18

Gender: Male

Species: Human

Appearance: Medium height, lean, brown hair, prescription glasses, blue eyes.

Personality: Saul is a more humble, somewhat reserved young man. He does not go out seeking socialization but does appreciate it when people do talk to him. He is a generally friendly, young man, but like his Grandfather, he can hold a grudge, and hold it for a long time. He is also prone to fits of nervousness, due to be bullied and it will sometimes show during socialization. He is also an eager learner, willing to learn anything new to sate his curiosity. He can also be a smartass sometimes, especially when correcting people he doesn't like or when in a bad mood. He is also quite geeky and will enthuse about subjects like superheroes, comic books, and RPGs.


History: Saul moved to the town of Crystal Cover along with his brother at age ten after the deaths of his parents. Unlike his brother, he took no notice of the Mermaid myth and legends, preferring to stick to his studies, something his Father also told him to do. Growing up, he was often bullied for his weak physique, causing him problems later in life in the forms of nervous attacks. Most of the time, however, he hid behind his brother when the bullies went too far. However, while in high school, his Brother started to ignore him in favor of hanging with his gear-head friends, resulting in him neglecting his Brother. Saul has graduated high-school recently and is soon getting ready to leave for college, claiming a hefty scholarship in the process.

Job: Part-time cashier at Jan's Comic Shop

Other:
Weakness: He is physically weak and relies on a pair of glasses to help him see.
 
memphis.jpg

Name:
Memphis Quincannon

Age:
23

Gender:
Male

Species:
Manta Ray; Memphis' tail is the body of a giant manta ray, huge black and white wings extending on either side of his torso beating the water as he soars through it. He has a barbed stinger at the end of his tail as well.

Appearance:
Memphis has strong yet inviting features; naturally tousled blonde hair, expressive brows, stormy blue eyes, and a strong jaw outline his powerful presence, though he uses more often them to be gentle, or to joke. In human form, Memphis stands tall and fit, muscular and lean often overshadowing anyone standing below him at 6'3.

Personality:
Memphis is easy-going but extremely protective, both a guardian and a friend to those he trusts and has a very strong sense of loyalty and duty. He is very reckless and selfless when it comes to making sacrifices to protect others.

History:
Ever since tragedy struck and took his family in the clan's strife with the more dangerous clan of mermaids, Memphis has vowed ever since to grow strong enough to stop it from ever happening again, volunteering to become a warrior for the clan when he was too young. The other clan had only spared him because they saw how young and weak he was; his older brothers and father were held back from fleeing as the other clan were holding them hostage so that the refugee merfolk could not fight back. His mother disappeared searching for her lost husband and sons. He has made up for it since.

Job (optional but encouraged)/Spot in clan: Warrior

Other:

Hobbies:
Tinkering, armor and weapon forging, taming sea animals, exploring ship wrecks, releasing sea animals from traps, messing with sailors.

Interests:
Learning maritime history (especially stuff about pirates), mythology, music, and movies.

Weapons and Keepsakes:
Spears and tridents, harpoon guns, swords, bolas, and net guns. His main weapon is a staff with curved blades on each end.

Weaknesses:
Memphis is paranoid of having to lose anyone he loves and will sacrifice nearly anything to protect them and often gets attached to things too easily; he isn't gullible, but if anyone were to betray him, he would lose his sense of right and wrong to exact his wrath. He is challenges himself past his limits, putting himself through things he thinks will make him stronger, but hurts him instead. Sometimes he forgets that he needs to turn his personal traumas and tragedies into strengths so that others don't suffer the same, and getting stronger becomes an impossible obsession. Physically, unlike other mermaids and mermen with tough shark skin or scales, Memphis's skin is extremely vulnerable to cuts and bruises and they take extremely long periods to heal.

Strengths: Memphis is an extremely fast swimmer; like manta rays themselves, he can soar at speeds of 10 miles per hour in water, and pick up 20 miles per hours in short bursts. His manta ray wings can also blast his enemies with water pulses. Personality wise, Memphis is an extremely resourceful person, taking everything he has and the environment around him has to offer. He is also not shaken easily after being exposed to tragedy at such a young age.

(I am so sorry this took so long!)

rowan.jpg

Name:
Rowan Sheridan

Age:
19

Gender:
Female

Species:
Human

Appearance:
Rowan is a copper redhead whose delicate features go to waste by her glares and looks of spite; she is pale and pretty but too frustrated or busy to realize it. Her mid length hair is stark in comparison to her porcelain complexion, and her features are actually quite gentle despite her harsh attitude. Her frame is small and agile, and she is extremely flexible.

Personality:
Rowan is a stern and stubborn spitfire girl; sarcastic and spiteful having to grow up constantly underestimated by her family and peers; she is extremely passionate and caring underneath to anyone who is on her side and is a steadfast friend to them. Regardless of who you are, she will stand by you till the end. She loves to prove people they're wrong, and she'll do it her signature casual, nonchalant style even though she is very accident prone. She can never back down from a dare either.

History:
Rowan's family has been settled in Crystal Cove for decades; their family business providing diving trips and whale watching excursions to the visitors and vacationers of the cove is a staple in the area and well received on vacation sites. When she was a kid and her grandpa ran the company, it was about sharing the beauty of the cove with those who didn't get to live in it every day, but ever since the business was taken over by her father and uncle, her uncle has been finding ways to exploit the cove and the business for every cent in a tourists' wallet, such as "Mermaid Spotting" tours and "exotic fishing" trips. Rowan hopes to bring the business back to its original principles and protect the beauty of her home without harming it.

Job (optional but encouraged)/Spot in clan: Tour guide/boat driver for the Sheridan Tours Company

Other:

Hobbies:
Sailing, swimming and diving, reading, thrifting, beach combing, and skateboarding.

Interests:
Art, oceanography, aquatic biospheres, environmentalism, and survivalism.

Important objects/weapons:
Her grandfather's spyglass, compass, flare gun, ham radio, small knife with holster, and a small cord of thin rope.

Weaknesses:
Rowan will go to reckless ends to prove a point, sometimes even when it isn't worth it, and it lands her in loads of trouble. She is also extremely accident prone; she's no stranger to stumbling off the ends of cliffs or the edges of boats and landing in the water, or stepping on fishing hooks by accident; it's made her a tough kid, but the accidents only get tougher.

Strengths:
Rowan has an sixth sense when it comes to the ocean; she knows when a storm is coming in before the weatherman does, she knows how the wind will act that day, and how high the waves will be by instinct. She also has a talent for finding things, whether it be a cool spot to scuba, or a lost earring that fell off an unassuming tourist. She also knows her way around any sort of boat; it was what she was born to do and how her grandfather raised her.

Notice: This character is no longer in the roleplay. A similar character may be made if anybody wants to make such a character, but I ask that they have a different name and appearance.

Name: Francis Sato

Age: 18

Gender: Cisgender Male

Species: Freshwater merman, domestic koi

Appearance: Short, thin, with a slim jaw and black hair of moderate length, and black eyes that are narrow and monolid. Slightly curved brow, pronounced canines, flared nose.
In his aquatic form, his tail most closely resembles that of a shiro utsuri koi fish, with more black markings than white.

Personality: He is an odd combination of rebellious and obsequious. When angered, he will almost never hesitate to unleash a diatribe, but in almost all other ways he is very anxious and hesitant. He takes pride in his knowledge and intelligence, but is disappointed in his own dim views.

History: His mother and father broke up soon after he was born, his step father was killed in a hit-and-run crash when he was two, but his step-mother had always worked to instill him with a hunger for academic success. Due to such influences, he coped with childhood bullying by telling himself he was better than his peer antagonists. Many of his previous teachers sided with his bullies, and eventually he developed a jaded view of the school system as well as the world in general.
School wasn't the only place he faced adversity; His step-mother was strict, at times self-contradictory, and most importantly temperamental.
He had known of his aquatic nature from a young age, but always felt isolated due to never having met anyone he knew to be a mer-person, and never being allowed to reveal his merman form to anybody. He chose to go to college by Crystal Cove because of the mermaid theme the tourism board had going on, partly because he wanted to meet other mer-people if they were out there, but partly because he wanted to leave his step-mother's overbearing-ness.

Job/Spot in clan: Francis is unaffiliated with any clan, but he does have a job at a local pet store, and is studying psychology at the local community college.

Other:
  • As a child interested in the idea of magical beings, he figured creatures other than merfolk existed too and he'd speculated a few people were such creatures as vampires, rusalkas, and bakenekos in disguise. Nowadays, he makes no such assumptions.
  • He's got an immense empathy for most animals and knowledge for the care of pets.
  • His primary musical interests are showtunes and folk music, and he sings, whistles, and hums whenever he can get away with it and then some. He's considering learning an instrument if he gets the time and money.
  • His step-mother being Polish, and growing up in a cosmopolitan area, he has a taste for various ethnic foods.
  • Francis likes to draw, and is good at it even though his work is somewhat stylized.
  • Francis has various neurodivergencies and mental illnesses, only one of which he's known about since childhood; Dyspraxia/developmental co-ordiation disorder. He knows he has others too, but putting a name to it is a challenge for someone who can't afford an evaluation, hence studying psychology in college.

He sounds interesting! I’m assuming he doesn’t know he’s actually a merperson yet?
 
He sounds interesting! I’m assuming he doesn’t know he’s actually a merperson yet?

Actually, he knows but his step-mom made him hide it, as she deemed it both a risk to Francis, and a trait less important to one's identity than getting good grades and whatnot.
 
Don't worry about The Captain's grandsons; they aren't as Mermaid hunting crazy as their Grandfather. Though, one of them is in a biker gang,
