About:
Personality:
Curious, excitable, and friendly. They love observing people on the surface, and trying to find out more about the world above them. They have never seen magic before, or interacted with anyone who wasn't a merperson. They are terrified of poachers, but intrigued by the every day common man and other mythical and fantastical creatures.
❤'s: The colors green and yellow. || The sound of running water. || Shellfish. (Hard to open, but tasty) || a soft mossy bed. || Sleeping. || Flowers. || Sweets. || Singing. || Being read to. (There are no books underwater, they do not know the stories.) ||
✘'s: Poachers. || Being dry for too long. || Hot temperatures, (above the water this usually means being dry as well.) || Being yelled at.|| Cats. They are wet, cats hate water. Usually the two don't mix.||
Bio:
A mermaid who used to live way out in the deep ocean among many others of their kind. They spoke in the language of song, and lived a happy, plentiful, and carefree existence. Until one day, when poachers arrived and disrupted their peaceful life. Ravisher's of creatures mythical and endangered. They came in the night in droves, to harvest the merfolk for parts. Netting them. Bayonetting them. Cutting and Dicing. Until there was nothing left except a mass of scales and fins to be sold for coin. At the time, Relict was not home, having managed to avoid the slaughter through sheer coincidence. They would return much later, only to find empty dens, and ransacked nests.
For hours they would sing aloud in the ruins of their home. Calling out for anyone nearby.. But no one ever came. The ocean was quiet.
It wasn't until later that the poachers would return. Checking for any final spoils left behind. However, Relict would evade capture once more. Fleeing far into human occupied waters, and out of the poacher's grasps. It is here, in the wide river of a small city, that they would meet the wizard, Helyan.
Extras:
- They are a species of fantasy creature thought of only as myth. Known collectively as "mermaids" or "sirens."
- Their primary language is that of their people. A language of blubs that carry varied meaning through tone and song. (Think.. inklings from splatoon.) Though they are able to speak english, it is not their primary language. They learned it second hand by listening to passerbys speak near their river.
- They are not able to weild magic themselves as a wizard would, though they do have a few innate abilities: Their songs can mesmerize, control people, and influence the actions of others, if they so desire (though Relict has never done this themself.) Passively their songs only cause an irrisistible sense of allure, even in those who do not care for music. They can speak to other aquatic animals. And they have a few small passive water purifying properties that help to purify and cleanse waters that merfolk live within.
- Their fins are tattered and torn from being briefly captured by poachers before the wizard, Helyan, rescued them.
