    Spoiler: SubSpecies/Peacock Mantis Shrimp
    Name: Vivian
    Age: 17
    Gender: female
    Orientation: Pansexual
    Alignment: chaotic good
    Species: merperson
    Sub species: peacock mantis shrimp
    Special skills/abilities: mermaid form is smaller (only 5in long), can strike with mantis strength and speed in the water this creatures strike creates tiny bubble “vacuums” and produces a loud popping sound. Sadly since her merform is small her strike is only good for distraction. In her human form she can punch with force up to 2500 times her body weight making her lethal. She is also an excellent digger and has amazing eyesight since she can see more colors than humans. Her hair hardens like an exoskeleton in her mermaid form this helps her stay disguised as long as she keeps her head down and arms tucked in she looks almost exactly like a normal mantis shrimp from the top.

    Appearance: 4’10 in human form her hair is naturally light green, but most people assume it’s fake. She has a curvy figure light blue eyes and has a darker complexion with yellow undertones. While she is small in stature, she is very strong and has a very mean right hook.

    Personality: Vivian is a guarded introvert. She has no problem talking with others but finds large social settings to be very draining and prefers one on one interactions, she has had panic attacks before in overly crowded spaces but it’s been a while since that happened. She doesn’t trust humans and if she feels like one is trying to get close to her she will lash out in an attempt to distance them. She is very artistic and enjoys painting and going to different types of art museums. She also has a secret love for classic rock.

    History: Vivian got lost from her original clan in a storm when she was 12 and stayed in the shallows of crystal cove. When the clan came to crystal cove looking for a new home she was happy to show them the territory so she could join her own clan.

    Job/Spot in clan: Scout, sells artwork but is also looking for a more reliable job

    Other: Paints a lot and sells her art in the store, she also collects classic rock vinyls but she keeps them well hidden.

    Name: Maira DelMar
    Age: 19 (though looks more like she is 12)
    Gender: Female
    Orientation: Straight ?
    Character alignment: Lawful Good
    Species: Mermaid
    Subspecies: Whale Shark
    Special skills/abilities: A slow swimmer but has the stamina for longer swims. Thick skin and a powerful tail due to her size.
    Appearance: Maira as a human is light-skinned covered in freckles and large bright ocean blue eyes. Has very long (down to her knees), wavy ombre gray-blue hair. For some reason when in her human form, Maira is quite short, just burly reaching about 5 feet in height. Her being so short along with her soft round, chubby face makes her look more like a child. Maira adores wearing anything fun and cute. While in her mermaid form Maira is very tall, standing at just about 30 feet, towering over her other clan members. She keeps her facial features, hair, and eye color from her human form. Although her skin is slightly darker. Her tail is blue-gray in color covered in white spots. The underside of her tail fades from blue-gray to white. Her back, shoulders, and across her cheeks are covered in blue-gray freckles that start off from her tail.
    Personality: Bubbly, very friendly, and quite trusting of others, sometimes too much that it gets her into trouble. Always trying her best to befriend everyone be it merfolk, humans, and just about any type of creature. She is someone that will do her best to please and help out her fellow clan members. Maira can be a bit naive as she tries to always see the best in others. She might seem a bit childish the way she acts, but she is determined, a bit stubborn, and does know when to be serious...well sometimes.
    History: Born and lived most of her life with a large open ocean clan. However, after a massive storm, Maira was found washed up on shore by the clan of mermaids living at Crystal Cove. The girl was unconscious and injured to which the clan took her in and nursed back to health. After the incident, she had lost most of her past memories, and feeling extremely grateful for the clan's help and kindness, the short girl decided to stay. This being her third year since she had decided to live with the clan of mermaids of Crystal Cove.
    Job/Spot in clan: A student at the local college. No job but looking, does enjoy helping out in odd jobs and errands. Is an Omega in the clan.
    Other: Maira loves quite a few things, her clan members, the water, animals (from the scary sharks down to the tiniest sea slug, she thinks they are all cute), the rain, starry nights, and overall cute and fluffy things. Likes making new friends, talking with the different migrating whales (although not a whale), and overall collecting strange small and shiny things.
    Maira dislikes liars, cruelty towards anyone (especially towards animals), feeling sad, cold weather, bitter and sour foods (prefers salty and sweet foods). Maira as well is claustrophobic and is fearful of large thunder and lightning storms.

Name: Marisol
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Orientation: Bisexual
Character alignment: Lawful Good
Species: Mermaid
Sub species: Medusa Jellyfish
Special skills/abilities
~ Marisol is able to have her body glow in the dark, not always at will, though! Extreme emotions can cause her to lose control.
~ Marisol is able to create and direct electricity in the water
~ Jellyfish can heal their own wounds, thus, Marisol has great understanding of medicine and healing abilities/powers

Appearance (Human): She often wears long, white dresses while going barefoot everywhere. Her skin is that type that is always pale, no matter how much sun she gets. Marisol's hair is naturally a slightly faded blue color, wavy with some curls here and there.

Personality: Marisol’s very passive, only seeking to help and follow. She doesn’t often speak to others for no reason, only when she has something to say. There is one exception to that, though... But that isn’t to say that she doesn’t enjoy conversation, she just doesn’t see a point as she feels like she’d be wasting the other person’s time. Marisol trusts her clan more than anything, willing to put her life on the line for them even though she can’t really fight.

History: Born to a small, dwindling clan, she found herself surrounded by death at a young age. The elders in her clan perished, leaving the younger in a state of panic. The few left alive began arguing and feuding on what to do, causing a split that made the weak bonds sever. Alone and afraid, Marisol eventually found herself near the bay clan who took her in.

Job/Spot in clan: Healer

Hobbies: Gardening, Reading

Theme: Tally Hall - Hidden in the Sand

Other: Aside from being very weak from separated from her clan, her number one weakness in this world is erik her difficulty with social situations/drama​
 
Name: Yuri
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Orientation: Pansexual
Character alignment: Chaotic Good
Species: Merman
Subspecies: Bering Wolffish/Wolf Eel

Special abilities:
  • His teeth are particularly sharp and strong, able to crush hard shells with them
  • He hides well in sandy and rocky areas

Special skills:
  • Unarmed fighting
  • Blade fighting (typically knives or machetes)
  • Cooking
  • Fishing and various survival skills

Appearance:
Yuri is fair skinned with very long, straight black hair and gray eyes. His general features are similar to Japanese humans who lived near his original habitat. He is six feet tall with a lean build, and typically dresses with a fashion sense that somehow manages to be both terrible and flattering on him at the same time. As a merman, his teeth become sharper and his tail is long and gray with a ridge along the back, the same as his subspecies. The rest of his skin darkens to a shade similar to his tail on instinct when he needs to hide in his surroundings.

Personality:
Yuri is impulsive by nature. While he generally asserts that he acts in his own self interest, he is fundamentally incapable of refusing to help someone who asks for it. His reckless nature leads him to put himself into dangerous situations very often, but he is resistant to being ordered around, so that is unlikely to change. He is a free spirit and can be fairly snarky. As a result he is known to offend others with his blunt words. His bad reputation is not helped by his tendency to take credit whenever things go badly while at the same time downplaying his involvement whenever things go well. He tries to keep his compassionate side on the downlow.

History:
Yuri originated in the pacific ocean waters off the coast of eastern Asia, living with a clan composed of various orphaned or exiled merfolk. His teen years were spent traveling in search of an old friend he made as a child. On his travels he gained many skills, meeting many different types of merfolk and humans alike. He has arrived in the waters of Crystal Cove very recently.

Job/Spot in clan: As a well traveled individual, Yuri is the sort to take on odd jobs in both human and mer form. When he has come across other clans in the past, he generally helped with whatever was needed, though he most often takes the role of a warrior due to his impressive combat skills.

Other: He is into athletics and sports, both in the human and merfolk worlds. He enjoys hunting and cooking and has gotten skilled at these activities over the course of his travels. He gets along well with both children and animals, though he generally denies having any interest in them. Over the course of his travels he has learned to be prepared, so he almost always carries a machete or some sort of knife on him at all times.
 
Name: Flynn Riegel
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Orientation: Questioning
Character alignment: Lawful Good
Species: Human

Special skills:
  • Academically gifted/studious
  • Athletic
  • Charismatic
  • Strong swimmer

Appearance:
Flynn is slightly tanned with short blond hair and blue eyes. He has an athletic build and is six feet tall. He generally dresses very well in button downs and sweater vests, even dressing in suits when attending university classes.

Personality:
Flynn is very altruistic and kindhearted. He has a reputation as a good student, good friend, and all around good guy. He is a hard worker and very bright, though at times he can be a bit oblivious since he expects people to speak straightforwardly. Despite his typical golden boy reputation, he is fairly easily riled up and can act rashly at times when he sees someone doing wrong. His sense of justice is very strong and he often does charitable work because of his desire to help the community. At times he has a competitive streak, though he tries his best to hide it.

History:
Flynn is the son of an army veteran and through his childhood he traveled around the world with his parents. After his parents died, he was adopted by a family friend living in Crystal Cove and has settled down there. He has since decided to pursue higher education through studying law.

Job: Law school student (does some volunteer jobs as a surf instructor and lifeguard).

Other: He loves the beach; enjoying beachcombing, sailing, swimming and surfing. Though he likes to learn about marine life, he is terrified of squids (dead or alive). He is notoriously bad at cooking but does not realize his own shortcomings himself.

Name: Sall
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Orientation: Pansexual
Character alignment: Neutral good
Species: Merfolk
Subspecies: Thresher Shark
Special skills/abilities: Like your normal Thresher Shark, he is able to use his tail like a whip to stun prey.

Appearance: Sall tends to have a confused or thinking expression, his eyes a bit wide and mouth open the slightest bit. He has silver-grey hair that when dry on land is usually swept to one side. His eyes are dark, and it's hard to define his pupil from his iris. As a human on land, he stands at 6'2. In his merman form in the water, Sall approaches 21 feet. His Caudal fin takes up around 9-10 feet of that length. As a human, he usually wears white button-up shirts with a cotton coat over that and a long scarf wrapped around his neck. For pants, he generally sticks to jeans. As a merman, Sall usually wears two faded red strips of cotton tied around his neck and right bicep. Sall has a thin build but he's got strength lying hidden underneath. He has a large scar running from his left shoulder to his right hip.

Personality: Though Sall can appear intimidating at first, once you get to know him he becomes quite gentle and sweet. He usually carries an air of indifference around him, but he would most definitely jump in-between a fight. He has a fondness for art and octopi, especially art of octopi. He admires their intelligence. Sall generally patrols around the bungalow, town, or the underwater territory, a habit that remains from his nomadic childhood. He tends to stay closer to the surface but it isn’t uncommon to see him in some of the deeper areas. Sall usually feels like he hasn’t been accepted into a group until her works for it, so expect him to work his gills off for no reason when he tries to make a friend. He’s possessive and protective of what he views as his. This can range from a random seashell he picked up too a person he imprinted on. He tends to get huffy and his presence gets a little more noticeable when he sees someone messing with (another very broad term) something/someone of his.

History: Born into a rogue band of travellers, Sall lived a bit like an underwater pirate until he was 14. A week after his birthdate, he wandered a little too far from the band and was left behind. He ended up finding Crystal Cove and being accepted into the group of merfolk living there. He’s been working hard since then, trying to prove his worth.

Job/Spot in clan: He’s a warrior, though he tends to wander to watch over the territory.

Other: He's left-handed. Sall likes to collect random trinkets throughout the day. It isn’t uncommon to see a trail of shiny objects or funny shaped rocks left behind him.

Name: Edward Reichbach
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Orientation: Heterosexual

Character alignment: Lawful Neutral
Species: Human
Special skills/abilities:
  • Brawny strength from a lifetime of hauling rope, nets and cargo.
  • An eye for weather patterns and fishing forecasts. Has the unusual ability for dead reckoning with navigation.
  • Mechanics and repairs whether its a ship radio or an engine, he's got the knack for pulling things apart and putting them back together.
  • Excellent swimmer but has difficulty treading water.
  • Previous boxing and brawling experience gives him a leg up in a fight.

Appearance:
An impressively tall man standing at six foot and five inches, Edward towers over most and often misjudges the height of doorframes. A sea salt and growler sailor, fishing has been his family's livelihood for decades which marks itself in his physically large frame. Hands like sandpaper and swarthily tanned, Reichbach has been going to sea since he was thirteen to help his father on trawlers and has dedicated his life to the trade. Two dark, icy eyes are overshadowed by a heavy brow; the ocean's temperament something he can read better than any face and has been accredited by the locals for guessing weather patterns better than the forecast.

The fisherman's usual attire is practical knitted jumpers, waterproof overalls and a flat cap he's never seen without. Very few recognisable markings define him other than his beard and a nautical tattoo on his left bicep.



Personality:
A steely-faced, brooding fellow who finds enjoyment through being on his lonesome; Edward has never been partial to socialisation unless it’s on his own terms. Often found in quiet contemplation at the docks while repairing nets or nursing a pint of beer down the pub, he surrounds himself with fellow fishermen on the trawlers for company when he needs it. Known locally for his intimidating figure yet mellow attitude, Reichbach is a gentle giant with a talent for sarcasm that extends beyond his withdrawn demeanour. Around the sailing crews and naval workers in town, however, he’s garnered a reputation for being more relaxed and cheerful, joining in with a laugh or two and drinking his weight in scotch for a regretful morning after.

Straight-laced and a hardworking, law-abiding citizen, Ed doesn’t like getting mixed up in trouble. His moral code has little grey when it comes to breaking the rules and the idea of purposefully hurting or stealing comes across to him as the lowest of the low. Extremely loyal to his friends, he’s always had faith in others to do the right things, rushing to their aid at the drop of a hat if needed and to break his trust is irreparable. There’s not many second chances he’s willing to give out on a whim. Nevertheless, he hates being proven wrong which is all the better to parade in his face.

Getting close to him is harder than most, but always worth the effort. Big on family and community, his free time is filled with doing good turns when he can and offering favours - whether it’s helping someone move out with his old pickup truck or spending an evening volunteering at the town hall, even sharing a hot cup of joe with one of the old fellas - for a guy who doesn’t talk much he sure makes it seem like he’s a real PTA mum’s dream.

During his slow business months, you'll find him taking up cargo jobs and dock work to make up for a little extra Christmas pay.

History:
20200405_012903.jpg

The Reichbach's have been in Crystal Cove for over five generations following a legacy of sailors and fishermen alike. A business which has passed through the hands of fathers and sons, from one to the next, surviving hard winters and rich springs. Edward's upbringing was usual of his working status, returning home from school to repair nets and ready the trawlers for the next day's haul.

Holidays neither gave him the rest and respite he wanted as a child, for as soon as he turned thirteen he'd spend all summer aboard the ships as an extra unpaid pair of hands. Out there in all weather, all seasons, the only day he could recall of consistent breaks was Sundays. He guarded his sleep-ins, hoarded free time to make models of aeroplanes or occasionally, meet up with his friends to go swimming. Although his father continued to be a hardass, raising his son the way he had been, Ed was thankful for it. You couldn't ask for a more honest upbringing, even came at the expense of higher education. Never the time for homework nor study made it harder to keep up and in the end, he dropped out at sixteen into an apprenticeship under the family company. His sisters moved on to bigger and better things than a fishing town, his youngest only recently moving out and into university.

Working for his father’s company, he doesn’t own a cent of it yet and is still being walked through fire to prove himself for the inheritance. Owning a small cabin near the docks with what he can afford on the wages, in the winter he burns driftwood on a cast iron fire and in the summers, rests in long shadows to cool off.

With an unconventional dose of sailors superstitions which ranged from his grandfather confessing he'd met mermaids to his father being absolutely convinced that a fish had read his future. It has even been said that his great, great grandfather conceived a child with a mermaid, granting the Reichbach lineage ties to the sea that in turn, helped them become exceptional navigators and sailors. Edward has some inkling the ocean is filled oddities beyond comprehension - yet in the modern age of technology, he's not so sure he believes it anymore. But you can't bleed out a lifetime of uncertainty and you'll still find him insisting on sea-faring traditions ... just in case.

Job: Fisherman

Other: Listens to radio dramas in secret and enjoys collecting old sailing memorabilia. Still makes model aeroplanes.

Name: Sandy Riegel
Age: 14
Gender: Female
Orientation: Straight
Character alignment: Neutral Good
Species: Human

Special skills:
  • Treasure hunting
  • Cooking
  • Marksmanship
  • Sailing/Sea Navigation
  • Gambling Games

Appearance:
Sandy is a cute young teen girl with light blonde hair and bright blue eyes. Her hair is very long and she generally wears it tied up in some way. Her preferred hairstyle is twin braids, but is also known to tie it up in a ponytail or pigtails when it suits her outfit. She likes to dress in bright colors in outfits that don’t restrict her movement much, though her favorite thing to do is to dress up as a pirate and go sailing.

Personality:
Sandy has an adventurous and mischievous personality, often getting herself into trouble without much awareness of dangerous situations. She speaks her mind and makes her opinions known, showing a remarkable degree of confidence which is generally backed up by her actual abilities. She is often on the hunt for treasure and loves swapping seafaring stories or telling others of old legends. Sandy often inserts herself into conversations and can look a bit out of place among the older sailors she likes to hang around. She is typically very playful in nature but at times expresses wisdom beyond her years.

History:
Although Sandy has lived her whole life in Crystal Cove, she suffered an illness which has affected her memory significantly about a year ago. She was adopted when she was around 7 years old, before which she lived with a family which was said to be descendants of a great pirate. As such she has had a love of pirates and legends of merfolk since a young age, and a strong attachment to Crystal Cove and the surrounding waters. Although Sandy remembers little of her own life after becoming ill, she has recently returned home after making a full physical recovery. She never shows an indication that her circumstances trouble her, but still she has been pursuing information on her own past and ancestry. Her efforts have increased even more since returning home, and she often travels around the area to try to remember what she can. Old legends are much easier for her to grasp than her personal history, so her fanatical attachment to piracy is one of the most notable things about her.

Job: Sandy is old enough to be a student, but conducts most of her classes from home due to the difficulties brought on by her residual amnesia. As such, she generally can be found wandering around at all hours hunting for treasure. She self describes herself as an “adventurer” or a “treasure hunter”.

Other: She loves to cook and is remarkably skilled, her preferred dishes are generally of a seafood variety. Despite her age she’s a notorious card shark and gambler, enjoying all sorts of games of chance and skill from cards to dice to board games. She also adores sailing and hunting for treasure. She generally carries a knife on her, and has an old pistol passed down by her birth family (though generally this does not get taken out, it is more of a prized possession). She likes to get up to trouble in places she does not belong. She is also known to flirt with older men, boasting of her own charms, though this is to little effect considering her age. Fortunately, she can take care of herself, though oftentimes it is her older adoptive brother Flynn who has to bail her out of tricky situations.

    Fashionably-Correct-Long-Hairstyles-for-Black-Men-24.jpg



    Name:Leo Canth
    Age: 50ish he lost track, looks to be in his 20s
    Gender: Male
    Orientation: Pansexual Polyromantic
    Alignment: chaotic good
    Species: Merman
    Sub species:West Indian Ocean Coelacanth
    Special skills/abilities: Leo ages slower than the average mermaid or human, and can reach the bottom of the crevice. His eyes are extremely sensitive to light in his merman form and he has excellent night vision.
    Appearance: Leo is a man of large bulky stature. He reaches a staggering height of 6 3” and has a muscular build. He has a dark cocoa skin tone, brown eyes and strong features. He keeps his hair long and twisted and his facial hair short and well maintained.
    Personality: Leo is a gentle soul who enjoys the company of others. He’s very social and is happy with chatty people and silent friends alike. He is passionate about the environment and self health and encourages all sorts of self care practices to the rest of the clan ranging from eating healthy to sleeping with the right crystal for your chakra by your bed. Leo is a reliable shoulder to cry on who will keep secrets shared with him to his grave. He has a bit of a temper which sometimes gets him into trouble, it is only really seen when one of the clans hearts have been hurt or the environment is being damaged.
    History: He spent his young life in the deep with his mother, who was a huge hippy. He never knew his father, according to his mom he was a gift from the universe after spending a night with a handsome man. Despite some people having a desire to find their missing parent he never really experienced that and rather enjoyed his mothers strange way of talking and philosophy. When he became a young teenager she vanished, his mother always told him how she was a wanderer and he knew one day they’d go their separate ways. He’s never held it against her, but he decided he’d never leave without saying goodbye to his friends and family in the future. He found himself lonely and decided to come to the surface. The humans fascinated him and he traveled along the coast for many years before settling in the crystal cove clan. During his travels he stopped at a few places and picked up a midwifes license. He’s delivered quite a few babies and considers it his greatest calling.

TALENTS

FEARS
Yoo fears being alone, not necessarily by himself, but just alone, he is not aware of this though; he also has a fear of car accidents though he doesn't know where this comes from as he has never been in one or remember witnessing one, sounds of a car crash or one going out of control may trigger an irrational response of running away from the noise, needless to say he doesn't ride or drive a car if he doesn't have too. Shouldn't be too much a problem in this quaint seas-side town now should it?

PERSONALITY
By default yoo-jin is a working business man. You would find him in an office or his house, working on something. A focused man, he may share a conversation with you, but his attention is on his more on his work than it is entertaining you. Plain and true. Out on commission, he's going to be a little more friendly and attentive to the paying customers. There's little interaction with him and the outside world besides receiving packages from the delivery man or pizza. It's different if you are his work buddies, Pillsbury and Almond Joy, and he does respond to some messages and comments on his blog from time to time. But it's all at his leisure.

But he's on vacation, so this has chnaged things up, no longer being in a constant flow of work/ Yes, he may stop to shoot some photos, snap some pics, share whats up on his social feed- but he's on vacation, and he is genuinely trying to have a good time! Brush shoulders with some folks, get out there and enjoy himself beyond the computer and the desk. You're going to meet someone caught between witty, smiley, reserved, observant, and a dash awkward. He's going to be the be the last one you'd suspect as a competive player in beach volleyball. And the one to disappoint you when you go surfing and he ends up preferring to just paddle and float around on his board. He's got a capacity for fun and for lazing about. He's pretty quick to judge what is superficial and what's not. With the goal to enjoy himself, he really is only here for him and does not expect to meet someone, nor cater to anybody. He may ask others about their experiences and goals here, may turn it into a piece on his blog, might make some more friends. He will be generally sociable and active, but how he is depends on all he interacts with and what the interactions amounted. He's going to sing aloud to songs he knows. It's entirely possible he has a blast the entire day, go to his hotel room, crash, and suffer a sudden realization of how lonely he is. He is a goofy guy, and suave the next. His personality crashes like waves, and washes up pieces of himself from pretty shells to shards of glass. Battling bouts of detachment, and feeling the lows and highs of the expectations of an excursion. And love, or catching feelings for some other can only complicate. He may act frustrated or dismissive of those that strum his strings in the beginning. He handles platonic energy very similarly, but if you can tolerate this, and gain his trust he's a resourceful, loyal friend to have.

+ intelligent, playful, hard-working
- reclusive, irritable, aloof

LIKES/DISLIKES
+ ice cream, snow cones, iced chai, chilling at the beach, listening to music- instruments more than anything else, cats, beef jerky and chocolate pretzels- in that order, wheat cereals, meat, stargazing, sparklers, sleeping, piggy-back rides (this will never be mentioned), photography, silk, looking at the coral reef, he has developed this habit of following crabs that appear on the hsore sometimes
- cold showers or being in cold water in general, continuous loud rowdy nonsense- unless he is a part of that, strong odors, math (he can do it for five minutes before needing a break, and he can do it, but he still hates it), cheap toilet paper, sugary cereals, jump scares, poorly prepared food, wrestling, touching (do not touch me [That lady on the bus]), zippers, stuffed animals, humidity, crackers

MENTAL
depersonalization (a dissasociative disorder). Yoo has never felt it necessary to identify what is wrong with him, he has always believed these feelings must be normal and a part of life, generated from stress; like school and work and relationships. The symptoms of this disorder are excused as a part of his personality, character, leaving it unidentified; never speaking aloud on them to begin with he usually appears staring off into space or at something, or may be slow to respond, or appear confused. It is a difficult disorder to identify. Sometimes it may cause depression, anxiety, other times he may breakdown (albeit I'm not referring to wailing). More Information

- Okay well it says it affects all these things but your character seems to have made a life for himself, or at least a good start. How is it that he realistically has this disorder? Yes and no, he knows what he's supposed to do, and what he should want to do but he often lacks the emotional gratifications and self rewarding, he feels his life is truly boring and his existence feels as meaningless as a pebble among a thousand. He is good at feigning confidence and he has always sported this in the hope to placebo himself into feeling this way, sometimes it works. He allows himself to feel unfeeling and detached when he knows he is by himself, under the mindset that people must deal with their own personal problems. And note that he did struggle in school, and his work more ro less could cater to this disorder. Even if not, taking photos of other people's lives is his way of living through them. His passion is not only his talent and career, but his habit and coping mechanism, even if he does not always realize it. This is also not about how this disorder is ruining his life it's about how it's just making things harder.

PHYSICAL
he has always had lower back pain, he's just learned to live with it

RELATIONSHIPS
Michael, mentioned in background, their separation resulted from ghosting

HISTORY
Yoo Jin was in a foster home as far back as he remembers, there was little information to find on who his real parents were and he never put in effort to find out about them. Growing up he had several siblings, and they all annoyed and supported each other in their own ways. While the family was far from abusive, there seemed to be a shared atmosphere of loneliness and alienation. Not everyone was able to come together the way hallmark movies show on screen. From time to time he receives contact from on of them, and conversations happen like nothing has changed. Nothing was ever bad, nor ever great.

In school he was an artistic misfit who could never really find the motivation to focus in class, unless something really had his interest. But he would stay up all night to finish his school work and self-made projects. This caused him to sleep during the day and in odd places. There was a balance of sympathetic and stern teachers as well as narrow and open minded peers. He made friends in passing, acquaintances, but never chose to develop any real relationships. Outside of what he had to do to get by, he was more engrossed in his passions and self interest. One of his hobbies became his ultimate passion, photography. This and other projects made passing classes even more difficult for him, but he graduated high school. Further on, attended college but fell behind and ended up having to drop out the second semester. As the days from drop out grew, he realized he had enjoyed the atmosphere of being around others who were working seriously- even if he had not appeared to them to be doing that himself. While he didn't care for high school, he would be someone to always recommend college, for the experience alone.

One of the things his foster parents taught him well, was how to save and control money. So when he turned eighteen and independent, he had enough for a first time rental apartment of subpar quality. But he struggled to feed himself. At this time Yoo had already started his own site to trial being commissioned or contracted to take professional photos. It was slow starting, but he gradually made some headway. A small up and coming photography business contacted him and offered him a place among their small crew, "Sweet Shop." Turns out it was a duo looking for a third man, and he made a fairly tight relationship with friends and co-workers "Almond Joy" (specializing in cinematography) and "Pillsbury" (specializing in website building and coding). Upon joining Yoo Jin made it clear he was in it only if he would make more than he was on his own which earned him his title "Pay Day." He's never spoken about it, but he appreciates and cherishes the relationships he's made with these friends. After being in the small warehouse for four years, the business has become something well known and contacted by the locals for their services. Sometimes they get requests from all over the state, which they don't mind. In the last 2 years, Yoo Jin has made his own business of photo commissioning and related, however he still helps and offers his services to his friends whom are also starting to cultivate their own thing even further. Yoo Jin has photographed weddings, ceremonies, conventions, and other large as well as personal events. He is also sought for modeling though he feels less inclined to take these kinds of jobs. He takes them when he feels confident enough and the job doesn't interrupt his own schedule. He has his own blog/website that helps generate commissions and has earned him fans and followers.

Through smart business choices Yoo-Jin acquired a house big enough for just him and his life's work. He has started composing music but is not public about this like other projects. After being around someone long enough, he managed to develop strong enough feelings and them seemingly reciprocated to conceive a relationship. Things had been more or less smooth, space respected and intimacy catered at just the right times. Their own careers were important to them, and this made understanding the other easier, so he thought. But in time things had started feeling distant, Yoo Jin compared it to being back in his foster home. Thinking about addressing it in some way he had asked for some real advice from his peers, and at the point he was ready to physically speak plainly about the situation, the other had never come around for it to be resolved. Literally. Yoo Jin was ghosted, just like that. He hadn't known it at first, waiting for a time when he could catch his partner, but reaching him through text and calls were harder and harder, until there was just no response at all. Finally he allowed the silence to be the answer and went through the motions of moving on.

A month later, his friends are hard on his ass about visiting this place, Crystal Cove. And with much skepticism and encouragement from his peers, he eventually caved in. He has come to Crystal Cove as a tourist, both intent on making it somehting share with those who watch his blog and his friends, and a vacation. The popular myths of it's mermaids hardly phase him, though he's not against investigating the stories for fun. Though one can wonder what would actually happen if he saw a real mermaid.

Moonscale

Age
Moonscale tentatively puts herself at being born around 1750, but she isn’t completely sure. She could be older or younger by more than a century.

Species

Sub species
Albino Faint Banded Sea Snake
4A88F51B-345B-4220-950B-D404BC8F960E.jpeg
Special skills/abilities
No one is entirely certain why, but being Albino (most mermaids born this way are stillborn) has gifted Moon with incredible anti-aging properties. That, coupled with her knowledge in the Ancient Ways, have given her the body of a young woman, even though she has lived well beyond the normal lifespan of one of her kind (Sea Snakes, not Mermaids (some can live practically forever)). Being known in the Ancient Ways has also gifted Moon with the gift of Sight (auras mostly, but also a rare glimpse of what is to come). If she tries very, very hard, she can occasionally help persuade humans to forget they have seen something or walk the other way. This particular trick, though, tends to send her into a minor coma for several days. Do not recommend. Moonscale can also sense things about sea creatures, such as whether they are injured or frightened. This gift, however, isn't something she considered very abnormal - she insists any mermaid could do it if willing to learn. Her most prominent and commonly used gift, however, is her mastery over water manipulation.

Personality
Moon may be older than dirt, but she's one of the kindest people you can ever hope to meet. While violence will always be considered the last resort for this merserpent, she has and will do what must be done to protect her clan. That being said, she hopes one day to see a world in which Mer and Humans can live in peace together. Moon is also somewhat of the town oddball. Thanks to her albino coloring, her manner of speech, and the way she dresses (think fae or occult), Moon constantly draws stares wherever she goes. She doesn't seem to mind, though.

History
Moonscale was born during a time when Humans hunted merfolk as monsters and demons. It was an extremely dangerous time, and humans were despised and feared by all Mer. When Moon was born into an ancient clan of Serpents, her family was horrified to witness that she was an Albino. The laws of their people were binding, and it was decided that she would only bring disaster upon the clan. The moment she was old enough to survive without her mother, the child was abandoned to the sea, where she was found and adopted by The Sea Witch - an ancient mermaid said to have immortality and who was rumored to hold the secrets of the seas in her mind. The Witch, whose name was actually Morgana, raised her daughter in love and taught her all that she knew of the ocean and the inner workings of the tides. The two found joy in the discovery that they both seemed cursed with long life, and vowed to spend their many days healing others and maintaining peace. They did so for many years, up until Morgana was killed by humans seeking her powers. Moonscale grieved for a hundred days and nights, barely eating or sleeping. Though she was able to return to her work, knowing it was what her mother would have wanted, the following century was very lonely for Moon. However, her gift of sight permitted her a vision of her own future - serving as a leader and mother to a clan of outcasts. In her heart, Moonscale could sense the tides of fate begin to surge around her, and she followed her heart all the way to Crystal Cove.

Job/Spot in clan
Leader/ Mother / Unofficial Shaman

Other
Though she may be long-lived, Moon is far from immune to danger or to death. She does not fear the thought of death, however, because she strongly believes in her mother's teachings. She would die to be reborn.

Name: Adelaide Illuminata
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Orientation: Demisexual
Character alignment: Neutral Good
Species: Human
Appearance: Her round face is framed messily by short, curly, blonde hair, a subtle contrast to her bright auburn eyes. She is very short, standing at 154 cm (5'1" ft) and has quite the plump figure. She typically wears clothes that she finds comfortable, sweaters, leggings, soft dresses, ect...

Personality: Adelaide may come off as standoffish or uncaring at first as she never truly perfected socializing, but underneath that almost stoic front, she is very caring and thoughtful of those she meets. She tends to be obsessive over small things and will spend more time than needed to perfect something. She takes her job very seriously and might be another reason why most assume she is aloof. She cares very deeply for the earth and it's inhabitants. She'll feed strays if she stumbles across one, even if it means she doesn't get to eat. She has a tendency to obsess over people too if she forms a strong emotional bond with them and at times she may come off as overwhelming with her presence. She's quite aware of this behavior and tries to tone it down best she can but it comes off as avoiding said person instead which results in her being left alone. As much as she says she doesn't mind it with the company of her beloved flowers, she does tend to feel isolated and this can really get to her. She puts too much trust into people she connects with which can lead to horrible decisions on her part.

History: Adelaide's father was a sailor in Crystal Cove long before she was born, however she never met him. Her mother would tell stories about him as she grew up, learning about who he was as a person and what he did for a living. But he disappeared one day at sea and never returned. Her mother was distraught and was forced to move inland with Adelaide's grandparents. After years of growing up on these stories of her father and where he grew up, she decided to move there and start a flower shop hoping that she could find out more about her missing father and more about the place he grew up.

Occupation: Florist

Other: Adelaide has a locket. It used to belong to her mother but was given to her after her decision to move to Crystal Cove. Inside is a picture of her father. She treasures it and never goes anywhere without it. It is her lucky charm.​

Name: Loki (Nobody knows if this really is his name, but he calls himself that.)
Age: Again, he refuses to tell, but he appears to be in his early 20s
Gender: He usually goes by male pronouns, but every now and then he'll go by she/her or they/them.
Orientation: Ha, all of them. all of them.
Character alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Species: Merfolk
Sub species: Atlantic Salmon
1607887484579.png
Special skills/abilities: He can change his size, and is just very crafty in general.

Appearance: Loki in his human form is an average height male, standing at about 5'9, with pale skin, freckles, and scars on his lips (They look a bit like they were sewn shut. Weird, huh?), chest, arms, and pretty much all over. His eyes are a bright green that almost seem to glow. He generally wears leather cloaks, and doesn't seem to mind the hot weather. If anything, he appears to enjoy it. As a mer, Loki generally is about 6 feet long. He keeps the freckles and scars. His hair is long, reaching past his shoulder blades, and orange. He has a Nordic accent, and is fluent in the Nordic languages, as well as Old Norse. He commonly will cuss or just speak in these languages.

Personality: Loki is mischief. No matter what he's doing, or where he is, he'll almost always find a way to cause trouble. Loki is a bit lazy, he generally doesn't like doing work. Despite all of his bravado, he's a wimp. Threaten to hurt him and he'll do whatever you want. He tends to get himself into more trouble than he causes. He's a bit of a charmer. He doesn't care who someone is, (unless they are a child, he has strict limits on children) he will try to flirt with them. Half the time it's an attempt to flirt his way out of trouble. He's also practically made out of sass. If he doesn't like something, by the gods, you will know. Despite his dumbassery, he is actually quite smart. It just flips on and off. On children, Loki quite likes them. He'll play with kids and really does enjoy spending time with them, but figure this out and he will probably try to murder you.

History: Nobody really knows his history before he joined the clan. He never speaks about it. If asked, he'll just avoid the question.

Job/Spot in clan: Omega. He's been given jobs before but he always messes up somehow. Everyone is pretty sure it's on purpose, and he's just being lazy.

Other: He's a villain that's less villain and more just dumbass who causes mayhem wherever he goes. The clan asshole.
 
Name: Ceridwyn Vaughan
Image_329061.jpg

Age: 24
Gender: Female
Orientation: Heterosexual

Character alignment: Chaotic Good
Species: Mermaid, Selkie
Sub-Species: Harbour Seal
Special skills/abilities:
  • The voice of an angel and perhaps the language of one too. Growing up off the coast of Wales and Ireland, she speaks a mixture of Gaelic fluently and is fond of folk songs. The type of melodies which have lured curious sailors to an early end.
  • Excellent at finding things and heightened under-water hearing, more than most species besides whales.
  • Lithe swimmer and small in comparison to other mer, she's quick and crafty to escape bigger predators.
  • As a selkie she can't breathe underwater, but holds her breath up to an hour utilising oxygen stored in the muscles.
Appearance:
Ceridwyn's ivory complexion is often a cause for concern among the human-folk, although it's creamy and pastel undertones have better uses than sitting pretty. Her clan, coming from off the coast of Wales in the stormy Celtic sea, has given her the grey and white markings of her species. Big brown irises occupy a little more of her eyes than most, bordering on unusual even in her mortal form although the lush, thick lashes which frame them distract from the uncanny appearance. Her hair is a shade of silver with the texture of fine silk - the very same which is hunted for lining coats. Lips a dusky shade of rose compliment the pallor of her features. Cheekbones curving in a soft fashion toward a pointed, pixie-like chin. Standing at a somewhat average 5'5", Wyn wouldn't remark herself as physically notable.

She adores wearing thick, fluffy clothing - even in summer, although she suffers for it. Bundled up in scarves and constantly drinking hot teas, Ceridwyn abhors hot weather and is always ecstatic to see the temperatures drop.

Personality:
Rather bubbly and forward, Ceridwyn is filled with an innate curiosity of all things. Especially hidden things, making the selkie somewhat of a nosy nuisance. While her kind and playful nature can be thought of as immature, Wyn isn't partial to being disregarded as naive. Her travels of the world and its oceans have taken her far from her home, through the dangerous waters of sharks and orcas alike, into the territories of welcoming strangers and repulsively warm currents. She's open-minded, incredibly loyal, and far too physically affectionate for some tastes. Hugs and cuddles are her love language, no matter who she has to subject to it. Acting more on the behalf as an older sister to most, her concerns are filled with whether people have eaten enough and then going snooping through their things.

Nevertheless, shes a daydreamer and easily distracted by the smallest thing when her mind has drifted. Her idea of a cosy night in is storytelling, a tradition of oral myths and legends that her herd has continued for centuries through Irish ballads and Welsh songs of woe. Her memory is sharper than a tack, reciting entire histories and her full family tree off the top of her head - seeing as they haven't written anything down it falls upon the sons and daughters to remember. In their eyes, it's a living, breathing past which continues to be woven and passed on. Besides the almost encyclopedic library of fairytales, it's only made the poor selkie even more talkative.

While not a vindictive gossiper, Vaughan loves to make everyone's business hers as well. Cursed by a tight-knit community back home, she will often mindlessly reveal secrets she believes to be common knowledge and gets hurt when people forget to tell her - or deliberately withhold information. She never really helps her own case for that one. Much like a seal at the end of the day, she relies on puppy eyes to get out of trouble.

History:
1a8b1dac3092b82c83ba9214e6d4cb30.jpg

Born off the Welsh coast, Ceridwyn was never an unhappy child. From the day she could swim she rarely cried and was often more concerned with stories. She adored her mother telling her tales of fae and mer, men and beast - a fascination she never grew out of. Yet there was one myth, of a selkie and her prized coat that made Wyn fear those who walked above. Her community was traditional and extremely averse to mixing with those on land after years of seal culling for their fur, so every story held a lesson to teach the next generation. Due to swimming the waters between Ireland and Wales with her clan, their Celtic roots are extremely evident. Speaking in a soft Gaelic brogue that leans toward a Welsh twang, the musical nature of their customs is all too clear.

But, all good things must come to an end. Her clan were subject to overfishing and eventually, as they migrated toward the Icelandic Sea, became decimated due to Greenland Shark territory. Her mother had family in the United States, selkies who had immigrated over the years to mix with the American populations. So in her grief, she decided to search for more of her kin in the wake of losing them. A lone selkie traversing the North Atlantic, having perhaps one too many close brushes with death for her liking.

Selkies and seals rarely migrate as far as the span of an ocean, spending their lives never venturing too far from the place of their birth, and with that knowledge, the creatures which lay on the other side of the world realised the importance of such a journey. She searched high and low, visiting as many clans as she could to try and find her mother's - to no avail. In exhaustion and illness, she turned to rest at Crystal Cove.

Ceridwyn has been a member of the Cove mermaids for over four years now. While they may not be the people she was looking for, they ended up being the family she needed. Getting accustomed to the usage of her human form and experiencing splendidly new and wonderful things, Wyn isn't so fearful anymore. Working to scout the waters and unofficially scavenging trinkets, her fishing hook collection is booming.

Job/Spot in Clan: Scout and Gatherer

Other: Absolutely adores televisions and films since she can't read and even now, obsesses over the idea of hot drinks. Has too many scarves.

(Btw Imagine he keeps his normal hair in mermaid form face claims are hard-)
Name: Bruce Atticus
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Orientation: bisexual (leans towards woman but will simp for strong warrior men)
Character alignment: Lawful Evil (Subject to change)
Species: Merman
Sub species: Great White
download (9).jpg
Special skills/abilities: Very tough skin, enhanced senses particularity smell, incredibly high reserves of physical strength and speed. High Metabolism, Bruce has to eat large amounts of meat to keep up his massive frame and muscles this however does give him faster healing than most allowing him to spend less time recovering and more time fighting.

Appearance: Bruce in human form is a hulking slab of muscle standing at a staggering 6'10! He has massively broad shoulders and wild unkept hair in a mullet like style, his skin is heavily tanned from his exploits in temperate waters. Crisscrossing his entire body are scars from many previous predators and mermaid targets, he wears these scars with absolute pride and purposefully tries wearing the least amount of clothing possible but the humans get all annoying when he walks around naked so he wears a fishnet shirt and shorts. His eyes are a piercing blood red and the most obvious scar is one straight down his right eye. In his mermaid form, Bruce is also exceedingly large measuring at nearly 25 feet in length with large amounts of muscle mass.


Personality: Bruce a very hot-blooded man who thrives on violence and bloodshed. He has a ruthless warrior-like mentality where the weak deserve nothing but death and the strong should rule above all! He travels through the seven sea's selling his murderous and violent skills to anyone willing to hire him, he has a immense sense of honor and prefers fighting alone without outside factors so he can tear his opponent to shreds fairly. He also refuses to harm anyone incapable of putting up a fight so children/elderly. Bruce isn't particularly...smart? At least not in the traditional way, in terms of combat he's a natural genius capable of understanding and picking apart fighting styles. However when it comes to day to day tasks and social cues...he ain't the sharpest tooth in the jaw.

History: Bruce was born to the Carcharriors Clan. A clan of marauding warrior culture focused Great White Mermaids that were known to be some of the absolute best fighters in the ocean, ruled over by Queen Megaleona. Bruce when he was born a bit smaller than most and weaker to, a runt and that wouldn't be tolerated by the Clan, He was shunned and tossed out to die however Bruce clung to life and fought hard from a young age and against all odds he survived to adult hood. Since then he has wandered through the various oceans selling his violent services as a mercenary for any clan willing to pay which tends to work out fine since most mermaids don't care for currency but have tons of treasure from sunken ships lying around. While he would never admit it to anyone, Bruce has a reason besides his love of fighting to be a mercenary...he hopes one day the rumors of his work will reach his home clan and they'll realize there mistake in banishing him and he'll be accepted back as a warrior.

Job/Spot in clan: He's the "Muscle" of the bad guy clan so a warrior-

Other: Bruce wields a massive hulking ship Anchor still attached to a chain, he uses this in a similar way to a wrecking ball and if anyone else under Bruce's strength level would attempt to use said weapon....they would shatter there arms. Bruce is actually quite rich due to his years of being a killer for hire but he doesn't spend this money on anything but meat and the occasional new clothes torn in his last fight

Name: Penelope, but goes by Perri most of the time.
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Orientation: Pansexual
Character alignment: Lawful Good/Neutral Good
Species: Mermaid
Sub species: Sea bunny :)
Special skills/abilities: Toxin reverse card - Perri is able to basically ‘no u’ toxins. She’s able to consume them and be unaffected, but should she be injured or have her ‘ears’ touched in her mermaid form, she would release these toxins back.

Tinie - So, she’s real small, yeah? This helps her stay in background and stay unnoticed, just the way she likes it. Spending so much time in the background has made her good at picking up on other people’s conversations if needed.

Spidey senses wait no bunny senses - In her mermaid form, Perri’s sight becomes much worse, but her other senses are heightened! So she may not be able to see well, but boy howdy can she hear, smell, and feel way better!


Appearance (Human): In her human form, Perri stands at only 4’9/121.9 cm tall! With fluffy, out of control hair that is naturally white, it’s probably the second thing you would notice about her. She has darker brown eyes, contrasting her light hair and skin that burns too easily. Dresses in fluffy sweaters and fabrics whenever it’s cold enough, but if it’s hot out she still tries to cover up as much as possible without overheating herself.

Appearance (Mermaid): You thought she was small in her human form? Just you wait! In her mermaid form, Perri is smaller than a fingernail. Her legs are replaced by a long, fuzzy, white tail of sorts. It moves up her torso and covers her chest and arms more like a sweater of sorts. Her eyes close as her sight worsens, and ear-like appendages come from her hair which becomes even more wild and messy.

Personality: Perri is deeply shy and anxious, struggling with anxiety and self confidence issues that leave her constantly doubting herself and in fear of most others. She struggles to look others in the eye, always looking to the ground with hushed whispers. While she is cripplingly scared and nervous, Perri is a great listener and comforter to people she’s slightly less scared of.

History: WIP

Job/Spot in clan: Omega, mainly does a bunch of miscellaneous stuff to help the clan out.

Interests and Hobbies: While terrified of humans beyond belief, she can’t help her intense fascination in their music and tv shows. Would find soap carving calming and fun! And does a fascination with Nintendo's Yoshi count as an interest? I think it does.

Other: Desperately wants to see snow, as she's never seen it before!​

Imagine a body / tail similar to those depicted, only her head is that of her human form for the most part, except for her eyes (there aren’t any) and skin (matches the colors of her tail). She appears as a horrific, yet beautiful woman, until she unhinges her jaw and her massive teeth erupt from her mouth to drag in her prey.

On land, Dahlia has an unnerving appearance/aura that puts humans on edge despite her sweet attitude. Her eyes are glass, and her teeth slightly too sharp to seem truly human. Also, the whiskers she uses to detect prey underwater are tucked tightly into the sides of her mouth in her human form, and can sometimes be seen for brief flashes of time. No one has had the guts to say anything about them. Her massive teeth / pinchers are gone in this form, replaced with human teeth that allow her to speak on land. She is petite and very slender, with an acrobats body.

Personality

Dahlia is a very manipulative person, and has been since she was a child. After suffering a decade of severe abuse, adapted to become a bit of a chameleon. Depending on where she is, and with whom, Dahlia can be as sweet as honey or as vicious as a viper. She never really lets people in, too terrified of being abused or used again. She craves power and respect, but deep down she is desperate for someone to be herself with, even though she isn't even sure who that is anymore.

History

Dahlia spent the first 10 years of her life as an orphan after her parents abandoned her in infancy. She was found and brought up by another Bobbit Shifter, a merman called Jackel. Jackel used his young charge to catch him prey and forced her to hurt or even kill others for him, after he was injured in a fight with a shark. For years he beat and mentally abused her, until she finally snapped at 10 and killed him to end her torment. Afterwards, she lived on her own for about 6 years until meeting up with her current clan. After years of clawing and manipulating, she's made herself Alpha. However, she won't stop until the Crystal Bay cowards surrender their territory.

Job/Spot in clan

Alpha

Other
Bobbit Worms are born without eyes, so Dahlia has never seen anything. Despite this, she claims that her favorite color is red and refuses to hear anyone's arguments about it. To her, color is a concept, a feeling. Most things are. Of course, she doesn't really tell anyone how she feels about color or sight because that would mean letting someone get close enough to ask those sorts of questions.

Relationships

Octi is something of a lackey for Dahlia, and has been loyal to her ever since the Bobbit saved her from an attacking shark. Dahlia refuses to say it, but deep down she greatly values Octi and she sees her in a very protective, territorial manner. No, their relationship is not healthy, but she’s the closest thing to a friend that Dahlia has.



Fun Facts!
Bobbit Worms can grow to lengths of 10 feet! They burrow into the sand until only their heads are near the surface to wait for prey, which they grab with their pinchers and drag down into the ground to be eaten! Dahlia - in her full Worm form - is about 9 and a half feet long (that's about 3 meters)! In her Mer form, she is around 13 feet in length.​

Moray eel

Special skills/abilities
Poisonous bite, gifted in martial arts and most forms of physical combat, skilled with knives, great swimmer

Appearance

Morgan is fairly small in her human form (5'4") but while in the ocean she is a very large Moray Eel (or in her semi-morphed form shown above). Her eyes are a deep blue that at times appears nearly black, and she pretty much never smiles. Unless she's smirking...if that counts as a smile.



Personality
Cold, detached, sarcastic, loyal, protective, intelligent, excellent liar, distrustful, secretly very mischievous and playful



History
Morgan doesn't talk about it. All anyone really knows about her is that she grew up on the Australian Coast, but at some point left for North America, where she spent at least a few years as a lone wanderer traveling along the coastline of the continent.



Job/Spot in clan
No job yet, seeing as she just arrived, but she’s a gifted warrior and will likely become a protector of the clan should she choose to stay.​

| Orientation | Asexual/Aromantic

| Character alignment | Chaotic neutral

| Species | Merperson

| Special skills/abilities |

  • Scales on the lower half of her body and the tips of her fins have the ability to glow, like a viperfish. While it is duller, she is fully capable of luring fish to their demise.
  • Her bottom teeth are much sharper and lengthier than her upper teeth, giving her a slightly better chance of doing lasting damage.
  • She is better at seeing in the dark than, say, a reef fish mermaid, but it can’t compare to an actual viperfish. This stems from the fact that she is usually seen in the darker, lower areas of her home.
--

| Appearance | Zerhi is muscular due to having to use more strength the further she goes down. Her hair is curly and often seen tired far out of her face. Her eyes are large and faint green, and her skin is a tannish color due to staying in the more tropical areas. While quite unsure of how, she's managed to dye her mohawk dark purple.

Her tail is dark gray and blue, iridescent and long. Her fins drag behind her like a menacing cape, dark gray and translucent. When she glows, the light that emits from her body is an eerie off-white shimmer, not bright enough to outline her body but bright enough to be seen.


| Personality | Zerhi is rather secretive, often finding things and stashing them away to keep them from being found by anyone other than her. To add onto this, she rarely likes talking to anyone for too long in fear that they’ll ask questions. She usually just runs away when anyone approaches her. The mermaid is also a generally quiet person, watching things from a distance and trying her best to stay away when anyone wants to talk to her. She prefers grabbing the albatross when they dive down to grab fish and talk to them. Birds don’t understand what she says, so she can say what she wants without being judged.


Zerhi prefers to watch from afar, disliking when she has to speak and liking when she’s ignored like some common drifting seaweed. She couldn’t care less about someone’s problems and likes to figure out things herself. The mermaid’s most displeasing trait would be that she explores the world with touch due to not being able to see well, and, thus, pokes and jabs others when she usually doesn’t mean to be rude.


| History | Lesser was born near the lower parts of the sea, along with her sister Mordio who then proceeded to run into the darkness and die. She attempted to stick near her mother, but some force seemed to beckon her mother further and further down by the days. So far that they couldn’t see anything. So she ran. Ran as fast as she could. Lesser propelled herself out of the water due to the sunned light in her eyes practically blinding her, slamming back into the water and floating for a moment. Her eyes took so long to adjust. Too long. She felt a pain in her side which caused the young mermaid to flee in any given direction she could, until she found a dark cave she could hide in. There she sat until her eyes had completely gotten used to this new environment, and her body got used to not being so- compressed.


She stumbled across some schools of fish that appeared almost in a trance. They followed her without a second thought, her glowing scales causing them to behave strangely. She, terrified as she had never seen these kinds of fish before, quickly darted around as they followed her. She fled, teary eyed until she yet again bumped into a creature. However, they didn’t look like a fish. They looked like her, without the whole glowing aspect. She paused. Another mermaid? But mermaids only lived in the depths! Lesser who probably was acting extremely rude, grabbed them curiously, looking them over and gazing at their tail in astonishment. Then she remembered the fish that were chasing her and ran away before the mermaid could really speak. She kept fleeing until, eventually, she came to a stop, discovering what looked like a large seacave. Amazed, she swam inside curiously, fighting the current until she found that the sand was going up, toward land. Waves above the surface crashed into the shore, and here, in this dark, safe place, was where she decided she would stay.


| Spot in clan | She has no clan, never really having been with other mermaids, so she’s just a drifter.

--

| Other | She grew up completely alone, and thus has no understanding of what a social life is. She doesn’t have what would be considered proper manners and she doesn’t understand well-known things. They’re just weird to her. She has a scar on the side of her tail from being harpooned by a fisherman, who thought that she was some giant, amazing fish. Her eyes often look as if she is completely blinded, which she usually acts like she is. Zerhi also has full control of her glowing scales.


| Extra-Extra | Zerhi was going to be a dolphin mermaid, but I thought her being able to glow was too cool to pass up. So she is now socially awkward. Lol. Another fun thing is that I decided that I hated my drawings of her so much I scrapped them from her form :)
