Four Thousand Club
I wanted to make a Mermaid RP, simply because I haven't seen one, like, at ALL on this site.
The storyline is going to be pretty simple at first, I might add a few things later if this starts to really catch on or something.
I will generally use the term 'mermaid', but please remember I am talking about merpeople in general.
If you have comments, questions or suggestions, please feel free to ask
Pacifia Overview
The underwater world of Pacifia, home to well over one thousand total mermaids and mermen. It is just like any country on land. The inhabitants are generally curious creatures that love to explore, especially when it comes to going above water and communicating with humans. They do not have super-advanced technology (I guess you could reference "The little Mermaid" as a good start).
There are 4 major cities in Pacifia, each with it's own ruling family. The four cities are:
Elantia: Smallest city, only about 100 total merpeople live here. It is peaceful even moreso than the other cities. There is virtually no crime, and almost everyone knows everyone else by name. This city is ruled by a King who's Queen passed away. They have one daughter, a Princess who will become Queen once her father passes. Her name is Iliana Gaelen (my character).
Pandora: Second smallest city, roughly 200 merpeople. Much like Elantia, but is dominated mostly by mermaids, with very few mermen living here other than the ones married to the female residents. This city is ruled by a Queen, and she has three daughters.
Aestus: Second largest city, population of 300. An equal number of males to females. There is slightly more crime here, but it is still relatively low. This city is ruled by a King and Queen, who have one son and one daughter.
Maris: Largest city of the four. Estimated population is around 400 and growing rapidly. The city can sometimes seem overcrowded to residents and overbearing to visitors. A King and Queen rule this city, and they have a total of four sons.
Communication with Humans
Such action is forbidden, but of course some will break this law if their curiosity overwhelms them (and their common sense). Humans rarely see mermaids, believing them to be myth. Most of the time when a human sees a mermaid, they think they have gone insane. Since mermaids cannot go on land, they usually surface far away, which is why mermaids and humans have not seen one another up close.
Rules
No godmodding - Everyone has imperfections.
No killing other RPer's without their permission.
Try to write at least a few sentences per post. One-liners can get annoying.
This story can evolve in pretty much any way we choose, creating a storyline as we go.
I have every right to reject your character if I think it is incomplete or half-assed.
Keep it PG-13. Use 'Fades to Black' if it gets to that point.
Try to get along, and please don't exclude anyone if you can help it.
You can be royalty, but please check with me first.
If you read the rules, please make the name of your character a different color than the rest of your skeleton.
If you don't you will not be accepted until you read the rules.
I might add more rules later if I can think of some...

Anything else you want to add:
My character:
Name: Iliana Gaelen
Nicknames: Lily
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Personality: Iliana is very bubbly and upbeat. She loves meeting new people and loves to explore. She has never gone to the surface, but seems rebellious enough that she may do so with the right persuasion. She is easily frightened.
Bio/History: Iliana is a princess of one of the cities in Pacifia (Elantia) , her father is very loving and dotes upon Iliana, his only daughter. She gets most of the things she wants, but that doesn't mean she always gets her way. She is adventurous and can get into trouble, but she is carefree. Her mother passed away when she was very young, and Iliana barely remembers her.
Any pets: She has a miniature seahorse who mostly stays in her room, hiding. You probably won't see him.
