While you will see me post a not quite human character, I would prefer humans for this RP. The one I have posted is not to be a license to fill the RP with a group of non humans. That doesn't mean that unusual wouldn't be interesting.

  Background
  Kai’s father was an adventurer, soldier of fortune, treasure seeking mercenary who lived in the grey areas of the law. Investigated numerous times for smuggling of things ranging from artifacts to medical supplies to people. (The truth regarding his father is far more complicated.)
  
  What are your character's motivations?:
  Searching for his father. His father was last rumored to be searching for the Scepter.
  
  
• 
  Kai is an adventurer and explorer at heart. He has never been the sort to settle down. But unlike his father he couldn’t live his life with such a mercenary outlook on life. Very relaxed and outgoing most of the time. A natural with people of diverse backgrounds.
  
  

Still need to add in specific skills and unusual abilities. But I wanted people to see the basics.

Spoiler: ”Athena Natsios”

Athena Natsios

​

Age:
29 (appears to be in her early 20’s)
National Origin:
Greek

Role:
Oceanographer, writer, journalist

• Appearance
• Career, Skills and Unusual Abilities
• The Past
• Personality

• 
  Height: 5’9”
  Hair: very, very long to just below her waist. See Abilities.
  Eyes: Sea green
  
  
  
• 
  Level of Education - Formal or Informal:
  Oceanography, PhD
  
  Unusual Abilities
  *Note: She will NOT reveal her inhuman abilities for fear of being exposed and turned into a lab rat.
  
  *Breathholding - typically about 20 minutes. But she can manage about an hour.
  
  Longevity - She isn’t certain about this one yet. She has yet to need to make a new name for herself.
  
  *Swimming - She can swim at speeds somewhere between those of a professional swimmer and a dolphin 5 mph cruising, 15 mph swimming hard. By contrast a strong swimmer can outswim a large shark at 6 mph. But a White shark can swim much faster at about 25 mph. Fastest fish would be a sailfish, which can manage an amazing 70 mph!!) Dolphins swim about 3-7 mph just cruising, about 20 mph swimming hard, and a little faster porpoising using the wake of a boat.
  
  Living Hair - It actually moves a little even when she is still and curls close to her neck if there is danger nearby. It responds to her moods and even changes in weather - such as approaching storms. Cutting or pulling her hair causes her intense agony. There are nerves running through it. Cutting it is painful and usually involves getting very drunk. No, it can't grab things with any strength.
  
  *Can see clearly underwater - without a mask - and at depths greater than a normal human
  
  Useful Skills:
  Fluent in Greek and English, modest fluency in Latin, some Italian and Turkish, a bit of ancient Greek and other dead languages of the Meditteranean.
  
  
• 
  Background
  She was left at an orphanage as an infant with nothing more than a bracelet made from seashells with the name Athena on it. She was raised by the Greek orthodox church and eventually adopted by an archaeologist and his wife when she was 9. Their boat was sunk during a storm out at sea when she was 14. She believes she saw something she still can’t explain. (Mermaids?)
  
  She travelled to America to go to college at the University of Miami. She received a full ride scholarship through the Vanguard Foundation.
  
  What are your character's motivations?:
  *Prove the existence of mermaids.
  *Destroy all mermaids.
  
  
• 
  Athena suffers from abandonment issues. She never knew her parents. But she has always been drawn to the sea.
  
  She is very, very patient. But also temperamental, highly opinionated.
  
  Likes:
  Sea
  Storms
  Swimming
  Sushi
  
  Dislikes:
  Mermaids
  Water pollution
  Pitch black darkness
  
  Fears:
  Being discovered for what she is - which makes her a bit of a hypocrite.
  Deep dives - absolutely will NOT go on them.
  
  Quirks:
  Prefers sushi over cooked fish.
  Never comfortable for long on dry land.
