tune

Lol
Oh I almost forgot, could you fix the stuff on your template that I recommended a few pages ago?

Add a last name and shorten the duration of time that she’s been with the crew, my character only formed it three years ago

Awesome, thanks!

So I think @themarvelousmoony still needs to upload their first character, and let me just check the last page for who wanted to make a second

I think it was maybe Lex who said they wanted to create a second? Plus me, who else wants to? Also, do you guys think it’s a good idea to relive the Boatswain slot and add another Traveller slot?

I'm here, I can be whom ever the fuck you need.

lol thanks

So, whom do you need me to be?

The Navigator for the ship would be useful, preferably male, if that’s okay?

And y’know what I’m switching the boatswain for another traveler we can say that their boatswain died recently

The Navigator for the ship would be useful, preferably male, if that’s okay?

Sure, I can make him in a bit.

Great, I’ll get my mermaid template when I came home

Cool, time to decide what character to use…

Here’s my mermaid gal:

Name: Olena Nereides
Age: 19
Gender/pronouns: Female, she/her
Sexuality: Usually refers to herself as ‘queer’, has had crushes on pretty much everyone but leans towards girls
Species: Mer
Role: Merperson
Nation of origin: Alcyoneum
Appearance: Long, thick, dark brown hair in generous waves, a middle part and a widow’s peak. There are often tiny, multicoloured, pearlescent beads strung through the strands that shimmer in the light, and she has her hair down the vast majority of the time, since she hates putting it up. Tan skin darkened further by exposure to the sun, since she lives in the shallows like most Alcyoneum, hazel eyes flecked with a more chocolatey brown that seem to shimmer subtly in the colours of the rainbow when hit by direct sunlight, almost like iridescence, short lashes. Average height and build, sort of curvy, a bit chubby but not much around her face, a long, shimmery tail with scales that start sparsely almost at the bottom of her rib cage and slowly grow in numbers until they form a solid mass just above her hips. The tail is a mosaic of colours, beginning with pink around her waist and then shifting into blues, yellows, and oranges that shimmer in the light. Huge fins at the end of her tail, the kind that are made of thin, flowing webbing (lot’s of it), and a bit more webbing father up her tail. A slight speckling of multicoloured scales on her shoulders, cheekbones, stomach, and biceps, webbing between her fingers. Finally, a scar below her left shoulder blade from where a fishhook accidentally caught her.
Personality: Mostly extroverted but not super high-energy, casual, generally happy, caring, the fun friend in the group, usually sticks to rules but isn’t afraid to break them either, very good at calming people down, accepting of most things, knows when to play her cards and when to hold her tongue, won’t hesitate to yell at assholes, extremely hard to beat in an argument, a bit of a mama bear when it comes to protecting people she cares about, do not get on her bad side.
Status within the nation/pod: She is what is known as a ‘Second’, meaning that she’s at the regular level, beneath the leader and their mate, not a Nurse (takes care of the babies), but not an Outcast either. Mer do not have a rigid social hierarchy.
Other: Enjoys dancing in the water and beautiful underwater acrobatics, friendly with almost everyone in the nation, most people know and like her. Has a baby sister, a little brother, and an older brother.

hey I'm making my template rigtht now, but I have two questions. 1. Can my mer be Alcyoneum instead or Urada? and 2. What did you mean by role in the template? Sorry to both

No problem, it’s always good to ask questions lol
The ‘Role’ part is just to say if you’re a pirate, traveller, Siren, or Merperson, so you’d put down Mer.
I also put down an Alcyoneum character so it would be nice to have a character from another nation, but at the same time it would be cool if our characters knew eachother, so you can do whatever

okay, thanks! I think I'll go ahead and do alcyoneum if thats alright :)

Np!

What's like the "capital" of Erallis? Or you said its a kingdom, so is there a palace somewhere? I kind of want to make my traveler character have worked at the palace.

That's a great idea! The capital city of Erallis is right on the border between Copiae and Blarne, I forgot to mention that in the description, sorry. It's named Opidda, and yeah, there is a castle in it. There's a King and a Queen, they have a daughter who's 16 and the heir to the throne, and a son who's 14.

Nice

alright, thanks

Name: Jemma
Age: 17
Gender/pronouns: she/her
Sexuality: gaaaaaaayyyy
Species: Mer
Role: Mer?
Nation of origin: Alcyoneum
Appearance: ( I kinda modeled this after the fish the Blue-Green Chromis ,I hope thats alright) Shoulder Length hair thats's fluffy and quite a bit wavy. Her hair is mostly blue with a few green undertones, and she usually holds it back with a headband or a tie, since she has it getting in her face. Her skin is pretty tan, with a spattering of blue and green freckles all over her face, neck, and shoulders. Her eyes are a midnight blue, but when the light catches them you can see just a tiny bit of light green. She's got long arms, and broad shoulders, and she's pretty curvy around the waist and thighs? Her scales start up around her chest, but begin to get more concentrated around her bellybutton. They are all shades of blue and green, with more blue at the bottom of her tail and more green at the top. Her scales aren't overly shiny, but they're not dull either. Her fins' shapes resemble a beta's, with a large fan fin at the bottom and small caludial fins (around thigh level, I guess)
Personality: She's what you might call a ….free spirit. She doesn't care much for rules when she thinks they're unfair, and she hates people telling her what to do. She's ferociously passionate about justice and fairness, and it upsets her very much when authority figures dont share the same morals. She has a few friends, and she's pretty protective of them if she needs to be. She is a little bit of a natural born leader, and she knows it.
Status within the nation/pod: A bit confused on this. :(
Other: She loves animals, and often has a huge soft spot for them. One time she cried for hours because some little fish she had made friends with died.
