The Phoenix Queen
firejay1 submitted a new role play:
Light Without Sun - Mermaids that live all over the seas have to work together against an old traitor.
Pirutia is a planet covered in more sea than land, and the land creatures are dumb and ignorant, woefully unaware of the mermaids living below. The mermaid kingdom is made up of peacefully coexisting (or rather, not really interacting) biome sections.
The Ocean
Just the normal, blue ocean. A majority of the mermaids live here, where sunlight filters in, it's the perfect temperature, and abundant in sea life.
The Deep Dark
The deepest parts of the normal ocean. Extremely dark, cold, and a lot more dangerous. It takes tougher mermaids and men to survive in this place.
Below the Ice
From the poles, underneath the thick ice, which never melts. It's freezing and inhospitable. By far, the least populated.
The Shallow Greens
The shallow, turquoise, tropical waters. It's by far the warmest, brightest area, and a very popular vacation spot, but not many actually stay and live there.
The Fresh Waters
On the only truly large island on the planet, there exists a large body of water, connected to the real ocean only by streams running in and out of the land. It is fresh water, and the mermaids there are fewer in number, and very friendly and trusting with each other.
The Heat Streams
A piece of the deep areas under the normal Ocean that's warm, because of underground magma flow. It's a more comfortable part of the dark deep, but still less populated because of the dark.
The assumption is that all mermaids can physically live in any biome. There are mermaids corresponding to many different fish kinds, not just the simple, single-color scaled ones. Each mermaid also has a special skill. Nothing fancy or supernatural like flying, or conjuring objects, but enhanced versions of normal abilities: high speed swimming, ability to invent anything out of anything, good cooking, fantastic memory, etc.
You receive an anonymous letter. It states only this: "You have been chosen. All you care for will be destroyed if you don't come to Atalantia, the Ocean capitol within one week. You have been warned." When you arrive, you find the others, and no one else. The city is dead and empty, except for the Queen Atargatis, who tells you to find the manta ray mermaid Oceanus, who's planning to destroy the Ocean Kingdom. She tells you nothing else, before disappearing.
We start here.
Max three of each biome:
Ocean: Tridius, Aristotle, Lunaria Oceanica
Deep Dark: Nami, Alga Obscuro
Below the Ice: Aquinna, Orielle Isis
Shallow Greens: Atina
Fresh Waters: Mizu Nagare, Fen Hai
Heat Streams:
1. Please, please, PLEASE, don't sign up if you don't plan to respond at LEAST once every three days. (Or inform the group if you'll be gone for a while)
2. Be respectful to others, unless your character's naturally rude. Oh yeah, that leads to #3.
3. When in the Roleplay, STAY IN CHARACTER NO MATTER WHAT. Reserve out of character comments for the OOC tab, or if it's really urgent, write fish tails if you read the rules, use the Character Sign-Up page or pm me.
4. No perfect characters, of course.
5. No one-liners. No more than 4 good-sized paragraphs. (even that's a bit long...)
6. Swearing is allowed, but not encouraged.
7. Both males and females are allowed, and any POV is acceptable.
8. Please choose names related to the seas, water, or mermaid myths and legends, not just random names. (Last names not necessary)
