Regarding Zinairah's Lore!

Posted 2 months, 23 days ago by AToyMakerShark

So to anyone who can even see this, I have gone ahead and added some things to Zinairah's page regarding her lore, as well as changing some aspects that I had on her before!


  • Now instead of going for the "ran away from home" angle as I had before for her, Zinairah's family will now be split apart due to something that is completely out of their control, though what that is exactly, I am going to have to workshop that for now! Originally I had the idea that she accidentally ran away from home due to a dispute in the family when she was young. The idea was kinda good in my head at first, but the idea that she "accidentally" ran away didn't make much sense to me when I had to explain how far of a distance she accidentally went as well as explaining why the family hadn't made any efforts for finding Zinairah in this way... So she now isn't a vagabond to begin with!

  • Zinairah now has a more specific place as her home of origin, that being a coastal town! With Zinairah's parents being from Ireland and Mexico respectively, I figured that the both of them could be Sharks that met each other by chance while out near the oceans. It now opens up the possibilities for how that coastal town could look like, what sort of people she knew growing up there, and as well as the sort of jobs she would've done before ending up being a Mariner!
  • I have now included a more reasonable way for Zinairah to reason that she can be a full-time Mariner by including the Commercial Fishing story beat!
  • Clarified better on a few points by highlighting in Bold Lettering what are important to note. Zinairah was raised with love and joy in mind so she wasn't abused. Though to keep her in spirits to the Mexican experience (and for others who can relate to it, myself included hehe!), she has wisdom and patience that was tempered with learned discipline from her family. (If it makes sense, I was diagnosed with ADHD pretty young so my mother had a very difficult time with hyperactive me, but with true love and la chancla in hand when necessary, I now carry a great sense of discipline that I feel very grateful for having gone through the experiences, every ounce of the good as well as the bad. I like to imagine Zinairah going through the same thing as I have, love her to bits!)
That'd be all for now, will submit another OC of mine in the future so stay tuned if you made it this far, thank you!
