Legends of Land and Sea (OPEN! Join Now!)

[ashleita_roseita]

Land and Sea. Two very different places in the world. The land is in inhabited by humans, now almost over populating the world. The sea is a mysterious place filled with so many different creatures and the depths still left unexplored. Many questions have arisen from curious humans, along with fascinating stories of myth and fantasy. Many sea men come to shore sharing unexplained stories of monstrous beasts that appeared during a treturous storm or of wonders experienced while free diving in the middle of the ocean. I am sure that many of you are familiar with the stories of mer-folk, but many of the stories have been altered to be more appealing to humans. It is not a myth that there are mer-folk, but they are not as friendly as they seem...the smart fisherman know not to disturb these mer-folk for if they do it will result in their sudden disappearance.

~Information on Mer-people~
The mer-folk live completely separate of the human world, excluding the many few who venture on land on their own accord, and are often times miss understood. It is said that the mer-people in fact have no soul and they rely on the connection of a singular item (often times a shell) to live. With the absence of a soul these creatures have a hard time expressing and feeling emotions.

In the past mer-folk have been less cautious and visited the surface very often, but when they were discovered by the greedy human race they were soon threatened to return to their watery abyss. Because of the threat of humans when ever a fisherman's boat ventured too close to their oasis they would move to protect themselves using their beautiful lulling voices to tempt them and drag them down to the crushing pressures of the water and drown them, but there was only one problem.

Mer-people can not completely separate themselves from the human world because they need humans in order to reproduce. Mer-folk can in fact not reproduce with one another, they need a human to do so. With much caution they return to land and find a suitable human (one who is too week to their natural charm) and conceive a child. The children who belong to a mermaid are given birth in the sea and their transformation into a mer-person is very easy and natural, but the mer-folk who are conceived on land are not so fortunate. These children are more human then anything, but their soul has a strange imbalance in their body and they are torn between the decision of giving away their soul and becoming a mer-person or keeping their soul and staying human. To make matters worse, most of these children are not even aware that they are in fact a mer-person so many of them do not venture to their true home.

Name: Talia Engels
Age: 15
Race: Semi-Mermaid
Personality: Quiet, Sheepish, Curious. Random and kind. At times, can be evil loud.
Biography: She was conceived on the land. But, she loves to visit the water. Whenever she goes swimming she transforms, and this interests her. Talia has alway wonddered who her true father was. Because her mother looks at her like a freak when she shows her, her tail.
Alright I didn't make this clear in the RP description, but she can't actually become a full mermaid until she binds her soul with an object (preferably a shell) however she can swim as a mermaid for a couple of hours, but she will eventually turn back into a human and will have to wait until the next day to transform. Also I don't believe her mother would understand cuz once she had conceived the child the merman would have left her completely without any information about merpeople.

Username: Sagittariis Munashii
Name: Umbris
Age: Looks 24, but is really about 50 years old.
Race: Mer-person
Personality: Mischievous, sarcastic, smart-alec, straightforward.
Biography: Umbris has had to pretty much live on her own and take care of herself for most of her life. She never had any contact with her mother, who was a human, and her father left her at an early age. She doesn't remember anything about him, so she generally doesn't speak about her father or her mother. The mer-people shunned Umbris. She knows loneliness very well, almost as if it was her best friend. Recently Umbris has been sticking around closer to the surface, looking for companionship elsewhere.
