Name: [Full:] Elizabeth Norman. [Nickname:] Eli, also spelled Elie.
Age: 39
Race: 3/4 human, 1/4 Merfolk
Personality: Serious about her work, but when off duty, she can be fun-loving and upbeat. She's a generally an outgoing, openhearted, and kind person. Being that her work evolves animals, she has a love for them. She loves party's most of the time, but tight spaces freak her out. Other than that, she's pretty good with anything else that comes her way, and that makes her more confident. Although she has a funky exterior, she has a lot of built up emotions, and can break pretty easily, usually in an unexpected way. She voices her opinions loud and clear, but worries a lot on the inside.
History: she was born on an old island. Her mom, a human, and her dad, a half human, were both engineers at the time. At the age of 38 though, a tsunami struck their small island, casting them apart. She eventually was found by the submarine (at the very beginning of its travels) from where she was in an underwater cave, where she had made camp. She now lives on board the ship with the crew.

Notes:
-she is almost vegan. i say almost because she still eats eggs and drinks milk.

[Pipsqueak]

Name: Evander Wiley

Age: 20 going on 21

Race: Selkie

Personality: An eccentric, childish man doubling as a doctor with a ragtag crew is just the kind of life Evander craves. Above all else, he prioritizes adventure and is inclined to jump into dangerous situations for the thrill of it, much to others' chagrin. Despite his hyperactive and near delinquent nature, he's incredibly smart and has a deep thirst for knowledge, especially if it involves humans. The lies his father had relayed to him over the years gave Evander a reason to hate “ocean people”, especially Selkies. He lives his life running from that part of his heritage and got into medicine and human anatomy partly to pay tribute to his human side and ignore his Selkie blood. It's rare to catch Evander with a serious demeanor, but it's most notable when he is deep in his medical studies or treating someone. He isn't known to do things out of the goodness of his heart however and oftentimes requests things in return for a deed. If he does something for free it's because he's curious about it- knowledge in itself is enough of a reward.

History: Evander was born to a Selkie mother and a human father who lived his life as a pirate. His father had taken him as a baby and raised him with himself and his crew mates. The only life Evander has known is one of mischief and freedom. Doing as he pleased whenever he pleased was the way things were done, and he loved it. It wasn't until eight days before his birthday that the pirates had run into a terrible storm. Their ship had been blown to pieces and everyone on board had died, except Evander. He was able to live on his own for months in the ocean until fate had brought him into the path of Ethan Shepke and his crew.

Job: Medic

Skills:
- Medical knowledge
- Studied human anatomy
- Street smarts
- Knowledge of certain marine life
- Can survive underwater

[VioletBurn]

Nixe form

Human form


Name: Krethoa (Violet Is her human name)

Age: 208
Race: Nixe (German lore)
Personality: Krethoa is shy as she lived for a very long time hiding from humans, though she's not afraid to enforce the things she believes in. She loves the ocean as if its a part of her and will do anything to protect it and its creatures. This does not mean she wont defend herself when the time comes. She understands that although beautiful, the ocean is also ruthless and she is not afraid to fit that description herself. She has a fascination for humans, she finds their passion intriguing, and their creations extremely creative. Krethoa is extremely intuitive and this aided her in learning of human machines.

History: She was raised by her own kind, and lived in the ocean for 150 years exploring and learning everything she could about the life within it. she was taught to defend herself from a very young age as living requires surviving in the ocean. When she was around 150, she doesn't exactly know when as human calendars and their conception of time sometimes confuses her, she was helping a whale that was being hunted by a human boat, she removed a harpoon from the whale and tended to its wound before going to investigate the hunters. The hunters spotted one of her fins and shot almost blindly. She took a harpoon to her fin but managed to get away. she survived with the harpoon in her fin for a few months too afraid to remove it when she spotted another boat. To this day she doesn't know why she approached the boat for help, but when she did, she met a beautiful caramel skinned woman who hauled her from the water. Krethoa was afraid at first but the woman seemed to truly want to help. The woman owned the boat and sailed it herself. It wasn't large but the woman lived on the boat alone. Krethoa allowed her to remove the harpoon from her fin and bandaged her up. Krethoa stayed on the boat while she healed for a few weeks. The beautiful woman kept her from drying out by lowering Krethoa in a net into the water before bringing her back up, this happened daily. At first communication was an issue but slowly while she healed she learned the human's language. The woman told her that her name was Beatrice Walker and decided to give Violet her human name. Krethoa liked this name and decided she would furthermore be referred to as Violet. Beatrice cooked for Violet and this was when she grew a taste for human food. When she healed she could almost fluently speak English. Beatrice told her she sailed these waters to help injured sea creatures and return them to their homes. When her wound was fully healed something happened that Violet didn't know was possible. Her scales fell away and her fins and tail seemed to dissolve away leaving her with human legs that she had no idea how to use. At first she panicked But, Beatrice helped her through it and taught her to walk. Once she'd mastered that Beatrice asked her if she'd like to stay a while longer with her. Violet had taken a liking to the woman, But her place was in the ocean. Violet stayed one more night with Beatrice before she left the next morning. Violet told her they would see each other again and dove back into the ocean. As she did her fins and tail reformed around her legs and she dove out of the water and back with glee while Beatrice watched on waving goodbye. Violet returned to her family, though she told no one of her experience with the kind human. Nixe were notorious for luring sailors into the ocean to then eat them. Violet never did this she felt it was wrong to promise comfort and reward trust with murder, her family knew this but that didn't mean they wouldn't hunt her human to kill her in the name of silence. A year later Violet was Swimming deep in the ocean when she heard an odd noise coming from the surface far above her. When she went to investigate she found men with strange weapons attacking another boat, to her horror she saw it was Beatrice's boat. Without a moment's thought she threw herself from the water on to the attackers boat, her tail shifting to her naked human form and fought with the men. It wasn't difficult, these men were not fighters. She disarmed them and threw their weapons to Beatrice's boat before warning them to never bother Beatrice again or they wouldn't survive her wrath. They left eagerly soon after and Violet jumped to Beatrice's boat to see if she was alright. Beatrice had been hiding below deck when Violet found her. Violet embraced Beatrice who returned the gesture before offering a towel to Violet to cover her naked body, Violet laughed and accepted. That night they laughed and ate together and when Beatrice asked her to stay, this time she accepted her offer. The two of them fell in love with each other and sailed the seas saving numerous creatures for fifty years together. Beatrice showed Violet the secrets of the surface world taking her to many cities and towns While Violet shared with Beatrice the secrets of the ocean. Beatrice taught her about machines and she learned of them very quickly. Over their years together they lived on many vessels including large ships made for transporting goods, as well as submarines that explored the depths of the oceans she was so familiar with. Beatrice grew old but the sea life kept her strong. They were in a submarine deep under the water when they were attacked by a giant sea creature that tore open the submarine. Violet acted quickly and grabbed Beatrice and swam as fast as she could to the surface but when they reached it she found that the immense pressure had killed her instantly. Violet mourned the loss of her lover for weeks, She left the ocean for a long time after that. She lived among the humans who were none the wiser to her life as a creature of the depths. When she finally decided to return she went to the well known city of Burgfalsen where she found captain Schepke, looking for crew to his submarine. She joined him as a technician in tribute to her lost love.

[welian]

Name: Princess Amaia Moreno (of the Southern Currents)

Age: 25

Race: Ocean Nymph

Personality: A bit of a doormat - Amaia is giver, she gives people time and attention and a sympathetic ear, but she never really manages to stand up for herself. Thus, when she finally snaps, it's often unexpected, and the thing she complains about is never what she's actually upset over.

History: Amaia is from the Moreno clan of nymphs, who mainly reside in the warm, tropical seas of the Southern Currents. The Morenos used to be a ruling power in their part of the sea, but was conquered by one of the many precursor civilizations that ruined the world. Amaia can trace her lineage through her father to the last recognized King of the Southern Currents, which makes her royalty. However, in a world where your country has been destroyed, a title is worthless, and therefore she doesn't use it.

Amaia feels that the whole global-flooding thing was a well-deserved punishment for historical misdeeds. However, unlike a number of her cousins, she also feels that since punishment has been served, perhaps it would be a generous display of forgiveness and good will to assist other peoples in piecing together the not-evil parts of their civilizations. To that end, Amaia has joined the crew as an archaeologist in order to study the pre-flood civilizations and bring information back to her father on what's worth copying and reviving, and what should stay flooded.

Where better to start that the massive city of Burgfalsen? She's particularly interested in working with Captain Schepke - he seems to be overall quite intelligent, and she believes a working relationship with him could help smooth over the stronger anti-human sentiments back home.

With any luck, by the time this adventure has ended, her work will have helped restore the Morenos to power and allow her family to rebuild their ancestral kingdom.

Job: Archaeologist

Skills:

• Drawing: Photographing underwater ruins is difficult and requires special tools, so Amaia has been practicing her artistic skills to make up for whenever a camera is not available. She can draw very well from reference, but struggles with drawing from her imagination.
• Darkness vision: Her red eyes are ideal for seeing in low-light areas such as underwater, however, she must wear dark glasses or a wide-brimmed hat out in the sun, or else she could blind herself.
• Educated: Studying history and artifacts means taking a lot of notes, and reading a lot of books. Amaia has elegant handwriting, is well-read and well-spoken, and keeps her work impeccably organized - so much so, that she gets a bit twitchy when you breath too close to a paper and the corner flutters.
• Spying: Amaia is a good noodle who would never think of attempting to destabilize a major political power for her family's own gain and she's offended that you would think she has ulterior motives.

Full fish form

Full human form

Name: Jason [last name, unknown, but may be revealed in the RP]
Age: just turned 29
Race: Finfolk
Personality: Calm and quiet, he prefers to be alone, although he isn't bothered by people. Keen to learn, he also enjoys hearing about Amaia and Elie's work. He's not known to take risks, and it almost seems as if he's the polar opposite of Evander.
History: Born in Burgfalsen, he was raised on land, till the age of four, where he was separated from his parents, and taken hostage by a group of gangsters. His parents, being quite poor, were unable to pay the ransom, and he was sent out to sea, and left on a small island to fend for himself. He managed to survive, and life on the island for almost 20 years, where he perfected his tracking skills and survival skills. One day, while on the beach noodling (fishing with one's bare hands), he came upon the submarine. He had learned to swim, but had never though about leaving till then, and upon meeting the crew and discovering their need for an operator aboard the ship, he joined them, tracking clouds across the sky to predict the weather, and finding lost artifacts buried under the sea.
Job: Operator
Skills:
- excellent tracking: can track like Tom Brown, lol.
- can predict the weather: he can predict the weather based on the clouds and the sun.
- swimming: he can swim pretty well, and hold his breath for up to 6 hours. He would be able to fully breathe underwater, if he had practiced more, but since he was only a child when he first arrived came to the small island, he never did.
-Has Long term memory loss: this isn't really a skill, but i didn't know where else to put it. Since he has long term memory loss, he can't remember much of his early childhood, except for getting captured, but other than that, he only remembers the island. He doesn't know who his parents are, and doesn't know his last name, which is part of the reason he joined the crew- so he could try and reunite with his family. also, due to this, he often forgets to do certain tasks.

Spoiler: A bit about Finfolk that you might find interesting

In Scotland and Ireland, stories of the finfolk were a big part of local folklore. During the winter, the finfolk lived in a city at the bottom of the ocean called Finfolkaheem. In the summer, they lived on an island called Hildaland, which could appear and disappear at will, making it impossible for humans to find.

It was believed that the finfolk could take on the form of a beautiful men and women in order to lure humans into the water. They were shape-shifters who could transform from full fish to full human or somewhere in between, like a mermaid.

According to incomplete documents salvaged from a facility in ██████, which was a research institute of the pre-flood civilisation, Anastasia appears to be the result of Project-███, a team of scientists headed by Dr.███ attempting to create bio-engineered super soldier. As such, she had been observed with high speed and reflexes, her body possess extreme resilience to damage and high regenerative capabilities, her respiratory systems are designed to work in atmosphere as well as underwater, with filtering grills that allows her to breathe freely while swimming in even the most toxic/radioactive material with no consequences.
