Story/Plot
In the times of sailing ships, stories were told by superstitious sailors about the fearsome creatures of the deep, and the measures they took to protect themselves were sometimes extreme. FACT: All their stories were true. The Kraken, the Lorelei, the Sea Serpent, the mermaids…all these exist. New facts have been brought to light that make humans more and more suspicious about the existence of these creatures, and the hunt has begun.
Are you a human, wanting to make contact with the creatures from the oceans or merely to trap them for your own profit? Are you a sea creature, curious about the humans, trying to stay hidden from them or wanting nothing more to destroy them and reclaim the oceans for your own? Are you, perhaps, some other ‘mythical’ creature, watching from the shadows and laughing at the sea creatures’ misfortune in getting caught?
The choice is yours.

Rules
1. No Godmoding. 2. No perfect characters. It’s really intimidating for all us poor mortals, so please keep them off that pedestal. 3. No cybering. 4. Swearing, romance and gore are all allowed, but please keep it within reasonable limits. 5. Don’t kill anyone without their permission. Kindly PM me (both victim and murderer) beforehand, so I know. 6. This is a semi-literate to literate roleplay. No chatspeak, please. It makes me want to gouge out my own eyeballs and eat them. 7. No half-breeds, please. Remember, the fact that these sea creatures exist is only just coming to light, and any other creatures are still very much in the shadows. And besides, the mechanics behind that are…kind of…unpleasant. 8. Please stay active! If you must quit, do something to get rid of your character. Don’t leave us with zombies! 9. Follow the Gaia TOS. This is just common sense. 10. I might add more rules, but I doubt it, because ten is such a nice round number.

He's lived his whole life insisting that the merfolk are real. Now, he lives with his granddaughter just outside of town. The towns people scorn him and call him crazy because he insists that the merfolk are real. Everyone just thinks he's making it up and doesn't believe him. Appearance:

![User Image](https://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u288/EG_Water/anime_girl.jpg) Theme Song: The Voice - Celtic Woman Other: Aria swears that sometimes she can almost hear a voice in the wind or the waves. It's the mermaid blood in her that allows her to be so close to nature.

With few to no friends, he spends most of his time on the beach by his lonesome. He is often seen staring out at sea, as if searching for something, or someone. History: He has always loved the ocean as a child. His parents used to take him out on the boat several times. He was very outgoing then and always cheerful. But when his parents never returned from one of their trips out to sea, he slowly withdrew into his shell that no one has been able to pierce. For the rest of his life since then, he had been living by himself, barely making ends meet. Appearance: ![User Image](https://i514.photobucket.com/albums/t346/ifnottaken/Different/boy1.jpg)

Always likes to make others happy, and likes to sing. Never can get angry, but can feel sorrow. Loves all people (except pure evil) History: Born into a Desert area. Grew up a little different when he reached 13, as he didn't take on standard human features and still remained to look mostly childlike.

Gaianame: SilentShadowDreamer Name: Tianara Nicknames, if any: None so far Age: Sixteen Gender: Female Orientation: Straight Species: Human – raised by merfolk. Personality: Tianara is cautious and quiet, preferring to learn things by being quiet and paying attention rather than asking questions, unless the person she is asking is someone she trusts. In sharp contrast, she’s stubborn and fiercely protective of those she’s close to. Although she’s careful about who knows it, she has a very romantic side and loves beautiful things. She often wonders what her life would have been like had she been a normal girl, but she wouldn’t give up her family for anything in the world. History: Tianara was lost overboard in a storm as a very young child. Normally, she would have drowned, but instead she was found by a mermaid who was mourning the loss of her own child. Taking it as a sign, the mermaid took the human baby and raised her as her own. She grew from infant to child to woman, and now at sixteen, she’ll soon be leaving to return to the human world. Although she doesn’t feel ready, she too knows it’s time. Appearance: ![User Image](https://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k30/SilentShadowDreamer/lookatthesephotographs.jpg) Theme Song: Realize, Colbie Caillat Other: N/A

He is very protective of his friends and his best friend is Mac. He is sometimes quirky, but can get defensive when people try to boss him around at times. History: Grew up with Mac. Looks very young as well. Used to be a girl chaser and a petty thief, but has matured a lot since his move. Loves to be near any lush forest areas and is a crystal collector. He wanted a new life in a new place, and left his sister behind back where they grew up. Appearance: height 5'11 Theme Song: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3970467/Earth Rhythm.mp3 Other: Has many secrets, also has unexplained things happen with him as well.
Gaianame: Trey the Red Rebel Name: Daniel Nicknames: The Abyssal, The Infernal, and, the human's favorites, The Abomination or Wretch. Age: Just 19. Gender: Male Orientation: Straight Species: Human, but has been corrupted (Ocean Child). Personality: Oh, Daniel seems nice and charming at first, but has become quite surly and violent, even a bit devilish. He has that classic villainous charm and, coupled with his age, that makes him a bit of a flirt. History: Daniel's father was one of the most ruthless pirates there ever was. He was called Red Sky, formerly for the fact that he killed many, but for his more recent endeavors, that being leaking his victim's blood into a bucket, and throwing into the sky, just to piss off the spiritual forces in this world that he felt were real. One day, Daniel's father's ship got caught in a nasty storm, and they were thrown way off course, near Fiji. It was quite unlucky, because he had a newborn son on board, and they were fooled into crashing by the sirens. Daniel's mother could not be under the spell, and so she swam, with her baby, up close to one of the sirens, where she begged them to take her child. They honored her wish, right before they killed her. Daniel was raised by these sirens, but his father's blood stood strong. Even as his body slowly conformed to the law of the sea into some strange, human like form, his father's strong spirit seemed to be training him some how, because as soon as he had turned 16 and the Siren who raised him felt he was old enough to be told his story, Daniel immediately pounced the murderer and pressed his thumbs to her throat, eventually killing her. After that, he escaped to the sea and swam away for a strangely long amount of time, most likely due to his transformation, and eventually found his way to an old dock town, where he was not met too kindly by the humans, but they still felt he had a right to live there since he really was human. Now, he joins any pirate ship that is setting sail to aid them on their plunder, and quite often kills them all and takes the spoils if there wasn't enough to share and satisfy him, giving him a not-so-affectionate nickname, and a steep bounty, that no one dares to claim. Appearance: The Abyssal Theme Song: Till I collapse - Eminem Other: Even though he had no real training, Daniel still had this strange raw skill with a sword and gun, just like his father. And 'raw' is an understatement.
Gaianame: Lucky_Tiger Name: Adrian Hilden Nicknames, if any: None Age: Eighteen Gender: Male Orientation: Adrian chases skirts and only skirts. Species: Human Personality: A complete and total playboy. He'll chase a girl and give her his undivided attention - until a new girl comes along. Then he drops the old one like a hot coal. He can be playful and teasing at times (usually when he's with his latest girl) but he can be cold and cruel. Especially when he's in the midst of changing girls. He toys with girls, not really caring about their feelings. History: Adrian's history is a rather basic one. He's the only child of a couple who ran a map/travel store. He has recently begun working there, his parents hoping he'll take over one day. He's been a playboy since he was little, forever trying to woo the girls by giving them flowers or chocolates. He's not really one for settling down. The longest he's dated anyone was one month. And that was only because it took her three weeks to realize he had another girl on the side. Appearance:
![User Image](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v618/Luckytiger/Random Anime/Guys/Howl-1.jpg) Other:
Sea Creatures:
Gaianame: SilentShadowDreamer Name: Katalina Nicknames, if any: Sorry Age: Roughly a hundred and seventy Gender: Female Orientation: Very confused Species: Mermaid Personality: Katalina is constantly solemn-faced, even looking a little sad, which is what earned her her nickname. She is very reserved, although not shy, and has seldom been seen to do so much as smile. She has a gentle hand with animals, and rarely ventures close to the surface. However, she is fascinated by humans, and one of the most surefire things that will lure her up from the depths is the sound of a foghorn or the gunning of a motorboat. History: Katalina has had bad experiences with humans in the past, twice getting tangled in fishnets and several times getting her tail caught in fish hooks. As a result, she has grown more wary. Though she is young as mermaids go, her stony stare and solemn face make her look much more world-wise than she is. Her only redeeming virtue is her voice, and quite often she sings even when no one can hear her, simply to comfort herself. Katalina has never been close to anyone, and generally finds it simpler not to risk it. Theme Song: God Help The Outcasts, Heidi Mollenhauer Appearance: ![User Image](https://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k30/SilentShadowDreamer/mermaid2.jpg) Other: N/A
Gaianame: SilentShadowDreamer Name: Narcis Nicknames, if any: N/A Age: Closing in on his fourth century Gender: Male Orientation: Straight Species: Siren Personality: Cool and reserved. He makes snap judgements and rarely changes his mind about anything. His distrust and dislike for humans runs deep, but he’s willing to deal with them – he just won’t be friendly with them. Despite his sharp tongue and attempts to keep to the background in all human affairs, he has a softer side that he keeps well-hidden. History: Born into the same Siren clan as Katalina’s mother, Narcis is used to the life lived in the open ocean. His new life in the caverns is something he’s still getting used to. He holds a slight grudge against the mermaid clan that took his aunt – not for her sake, since he knows she’s happy there, but for his own; he resents having the ultimatum of a union forced on him and Katalina. His hatred for humans stems both from the general cruelty that has come upon his world from them and from an incident in his past. If he remembers it, he certainly doesn’t speak of it. Appearance: Theme Song: Someone to Save You, OneRepublic Other: N/A
Gaianame: SilentShadowDreamer Name: Nezik Nicknames, if any: N/A Age: Around ninety-four Gender: Male Orientation: He doesn’t know yet. Species: Mermaid Personality: Friendly, open and curious. Nezik has a hard time separating what’s safe from what’s not. He’s very sheltered, and that in turn has fed his curiosity even more. That youth and innocence, combined with his lack of practical knowledge, have almost gotten him in trouble plenty of times. History: Nezik doesn’t have much of a history. He’s a young merman, and aside from one memorable run-in with humans which could have gotten all the merfolk in trouble, he doesn’t know much about the world outside. Now living with his sister Katalina in Half Moon Cove, he’s gotten a bit older and wiser. He is learning the ways of merfolk outside his sheltered cavern. Between the two of them and their friends, they hope to prevent war. Appearance: ![User Image](https://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k30/SilentShadowDreamer/swim_merman.jpg) Theme Song: Consequence Free, Great Big Sea Other: N/A
Gaianame: SilentShadowDreamer Name: Jianixiliesa Nicknames, if any: Jinx. Narcis occasionally calls her Nixie. Age: About ninety Gender: Female Orientation: Bisexual Species: Siren Personality: Jinx is highly intelligent, but almost sociopathic in a sense – she’s blind to others’ emotions in most cases, and finds amusement in things others would consider horrible. She focuses mostly on what’s good for her, and those few that she cares about. However, with said few, she becomes much softer and gentler, and her viciously sharp tongue almost disappears. History: Jinx was somewhat smothered through most of her life, being raised as the baby of Narcis’s family. Although she couldn’t care less about most of them, she loves her brother as far as she’s able to. It was for his sake that she agreed to try to learn to deal with other seafolk in the right ways, and his attitude towards humans is reflected in hers. She, personally, hasn’t had much contact with humans, and she’s rather interested to see what they’re like. The idea of a war also pleases her, in its way – things get interesting when blood is spilled. Appearance: ![User Image](https://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k30/SilentShadowDreamer/siren_mermaid3.jpg) Theme Song: Leave Out All the Rest, Linkin Park Other: N/A
Gaianame: Dreaming_of_Flying Name: Lucian Age: Unknown Gender: Male Orientation: Find out for yourself… Species: Water Dragon Personality: He is a hyper Dragon, always having a good time. He loves to make people smile, but every now-and-then he gets quiet…only because he spaces out a lot. People think he has ADD sometimes. History: He loves posing as a human because he gets to experience food tasting. Don’t ever get between him and his food. If he sees something he wants, he gets it…no matter what it is. He doesn’t like to talk about his past life because it saddens him. He experienced pain through love and will never forget about it. So when people confesses to him or acts like they like him, he tends to run in fear of love. He lost his family during a great hunt and doesn’t really remember them much now. Appearance: (Dragon Form and Half Form)

![User Image](https://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u313/broken_wolf/fantasy/angel and demons/20051110181213211.jpg)
Gaianame: Madness_Delivers Name: Aoife Nicknames, if any: Aiffy Age: 18 Gender: Female Orientation: Straight Species: Sea fairy Personality: Aoife is quiet at first before her personality begins to bubble. When it does she has a strong sense of what is right and can even be fiery at times. Usually very nurturing and helpful. She is intrigued by humans and dances dangerously close to being caught, adventuring close to shore. History: She was born from the ice. Isolated from others, she became very much a recluse. Then she saw a human and was intrigued by the strange land creature. She followed the ship back to warmer waters and began to learn of many creatures she'd never seen in her life. Appearance: ![User Image](https://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm235/Sakrea/WhiteMermaid.jpg) Theme Song: I Caught Myself by Paramore http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYlaHu0iD_8&feature=related Other: Wishes to be human.
Gaianame: kkoreo6 Name: Violet Nicknames, if any: Age: 300 Gender: female Orientation: straight Species: mermaid Personality: she is a tough and heartless mermaid. she is one of the reasons the beautiful image of mermaids turned into the cold and heartless imageof a siren that drags sailors into the sea.... History: she was a nice normal mermaid and had lived a happy life. she was always curious, and oneday she was swiming along and saw a fishing boat and got curious so she swam in for a closer look. when she got too close they must've mistaken her for a dolphin or whale because she was caught in a fisshing net and stabbed with a harpoon and barely made it out alive. so now she sticks to the deep waters of the ocean away from the shore with a sheer hate for humans and praying for revenge... Appearance:

Other Creatures:
Gaianame: Ulyenov Name: Kx'trz'xth (Pronounced kicks-CHURZ-ksth) Nicknames, if any: Kicks Age: Older than you Gender: Male physiology, no real 'gender' Orientation: Straight, insofar as it's possible for his species Species: Kyton(literally "Demon of Chains"), a race of infernal beings who are covered in chains and ropes, which they can control perfectly. Personality: Kx'trz'xth is, like most demons, cold and calculating, always looking to use a situation to his advantage. He moved to the mortal plane several hundred years ago and decided to stay here, telling his infernal masters that it was, quote, 'More interesting than Hell, plus they're more creative with the torments up here.' It is thanks in part to Kx'trz'xth that Hell has drawn up new Immortal Soul contracts, based on the warranty cards that come with desktop computers. History: As stated above, Kx'trz'xth, or Kicks, has lived on this earth for several thousand years. He has spent most of his time in medieval castles or remote islands with ancient temples, where a body caught in a web of chains is just another part of the decor. Recently he has expanded, working his way into caves and in rare occasions even shipyards. At one point roughly ten or twenty years ago he found short-term employment with a man who wished to be known only as 'Addams.' Appearance: An emaciated humanoid being at least eight feet tall in his natural form, Kicks can change his height and physical characteristics to fit any human image, though he cannot hide the chains that cover his body from head to foot, draping over his shoulders and pooling around his feet.![User Image](https://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu11/Ulyenov/kyton.jpg) Theme Song: None Other: If Kicks become overly agitated his chains start to float in the air. If he really flies off the hook they flail in all directions, forming a lethal cloud of hooks, barbs, balls, flails, and everything else that is attached to the ends of his chains.
Gaianame:EG Water Name: Nira Nicknames, if any: Age:? Gender:Female Orientation:straight Species:Nymph Witch Personality: Devious, and cruel. She loves to make a situation turn Chaotic and watch it unfold. Grew up as a nice trickster and a loving person, and not much of an evil-doer, until she became older. History: She was a simple nymph when she was born. After having been betrayed by so many people, she became susceptible to doing the same behavior. One day a power came to her and she's never been the same. Appearance: ![User Image](https://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i150/quietkitty/ec2756ad.jpg ) Theme Song: Other:She has the power to disguise herself, to give the power of suggestion, summon monsters, and teleport.
Gaianame:Angelicos Flame Name: Rock Sparoff Nicknames, if any: none Age: 17 Gender: male Orientation: straight Species: human-based ice/water elemental (basically, an elemental that appears in a human form) Personality: Like his element, he is a rather moody and cold person at times. He is often cold and indifferent to people that don't know him and mostly, people HE doesn't know. He is a pretty protective and caring one, if you take time to break the ice. History: He grew up in the cold northern regions, home of his kind. Even though it was in an elemental village, he still grew alone as most fended for themselves except to defend the village. He headed south after reaching age of maturity. The age that most of his powers present themselves. He never got really social with anyone so he considered and still considers himself a lone wolf. Appearance: ![User Image](https://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k288/Draconium_Ultimatia/blue-eyeZoharu.jpg) Theme Song: Deep Silent Complete - Nightwish OR Last of the Wilds - Nightwish Other: his major weakness is fire and earthen beings, able to neutralize both of his sides equally. Fire gets ice, earth gets water. He is also a great sword wielder and good with mostly all weapons. He likes strawberries most.

Established Facts About the Seafolk
These have been established over the course of the RP. Please make your characters follow these rules, or have good reasons why they don't!
~ The merfolk do not die of old age, but illness, war, or other such things can kill them.
~ Current creatures include a kraken - there is only one adult, but there are about twenty-three babies, twenty-two of which remain unnamed; mermaids, Sirens, undines, the Lorelei, kelpies, sea dragons, harpies, and griffins.
~ If your mermaid or merman has a human form, they must be over three hundred years old. The human form drains magic, which makes it very difficult to hold for more than a few hours.
~ Mermaids can interbreed with Sirens or humans, but they must be in human form to interbreed with humans.
~ Most merfolk live in clans, although there have been cases of loners. Clans have a patriarch or a matriarch, a future leader, and the leader after that is chosen from among the future leader's children. The leaders are chosen by character, not by gender or age. Merfolk do not tend to leave their clan on a whim; it's the equivalent of a human running away.
~ Sirens have a culture of polygamy, while mermaids choose one mate for life.
~ 'Merfolk' refers to mermaids and Sirens - 'seafolk' refers to all sea creatures.
~ 'Ocean children' are human children raised by merfolk. They were usually abandoned babies or children lost at sea. Magic tends to seep into them, making them able to breathe underwater as the merfolk do and do various other small things. Around the age of sixteen, the merfolk gradually begin to reintroduce their ocean children to land. By eighteen, they're expected to begin their lives on land, and are then considered 'graduated' ocean children.
~ There are two kinds of Sirens - ocean Sirens and avian Sirens. If you want to be an avian Siren, please specify in your profile, and include the proper picture.
~ All of the merfolk can speak English (or the native tongue of wherever they happen to live, e.g. mermaids who live in France or Russia should be able to speak French or Russian, but don't necessarily speak English). They also have a language of their own - the language of mermaids differs slightly from that of the Sirens.
~ Nearly all 'mythical' seafolk can communicate telepathically.
~ Kelpies were once more intelligent than they are now. They are strong and very difficult to kill, even for other seafolk. However, it's very simple to lead them astray and escape.
~ Undines tend to live for about 180 years. They're very shy, live in clans deep under the water, and mature at about thirty years of age.
~ There is a sort of magical creature called "Dark Ones" by the seafolk. It is basically a soulless mass of darkness that attempts to use the darker emotions (grief, guilt, horror, hate, etc.) against living beings in order to bring them under its spell. Once the being's mind has broken and the Dark One has taken up residence, it is impossible to get rid of the Dark One without killing the host. The only way to battle this creature back is by calling up a lot of positive emotion to force it back. See pages 201-204 for examples.
