Fantasy Merfolk???

Ohhhhh.


I saw like one episode and I'm pretty certain it was the end of a season and I was just SUPER confused.
 
My favorite kind of Merpeople are the ones with human-like legs instead of a mermaid tail. It's a shame they don't make very much artwork for this variety. :\

The best example I can give for them are the Merfolk from D&D.

So, before I make the roleplay we have some things to decide. I will write out these things in multiple choice question format and you will then reply to each question. The example will be in bold.


Ex.


Q:



1. What is your favorite number?


A. 3


B. 7



C. 277





A:


Question 1: A


Now for the real questions.


1. What should the plot be?

A. The Merfolk are under threat of being discovered and need to find a new place to live.


B. One (or more) of the Merfolk get seen and all hell breaks loose.


C. Power plant moves in next door and ruins ecosystem/causes mutations.


D. Merfolk are discovered by scientists and now they are being captured world-wide and taken to labs to be experimented on and questioned.



2. Where should our particular group of merfolk be located?

A. The Great Lakes: Merfolk here have muted, earthy colors, and are modeled after fish such as Pike, Rock Bass, Brown Trout, etc. (Click

http://www.michigancharterboats.com/species.html for a list of fish in the Great Lakes.)


B. The Great Barrier Reef: Bright colors for camouflage, these merfolk are modeled after Angel fish, Coral Trout, sharks, etc. (Click

C. The Gulf of Mexico: Larger than the merfolk in the Lakes or the Reef, these have a wide variety of color and protection. (Click

3. What combination of abilities should the merfolk have?

A. Breathing air, shapeshifting into humans, siren songs.


B. Breathing air and siren songs.


C. Breathing air and shapeshifting.


D. Breathing air.


E. Siren songs.



 
Oh, and I will be writing the lore myself.
 
1.) A+B


2.) A or B?? I dunno. I like the designs for B better but I'm such a sucker for the Great Lakes.


3.) B
 
B B and B :)

I'm in!! ok I know this sounds kiddish but I've watched mermaid melody pichi pichi pitch (it's an anime and it scullery has a good story... if your into mermaids and stuff) and all your idea's seem to somehow (kinda) match the show... and considering I was thinking of starting a role-play like this myself... mind if I join? here's another idea also: they can go on land and (can) get human legs when out of the water (excluding rocks in the ocean) but if their are splashed with water they revert back no matter where they are.... (end idea) sorry I just really like this concept... (it's from the anime I mentioned before) and yeah... dat's it!!
