By the ocean blue...

Recommended Posts

First come first serve! You may draw your own if you like! This is a romance...kinda.

Can have up to three characters, one can be human, the other two your choice. Seacat and Dotz are in. Mage is in and spot reserved for her.

 

Setting

 

This rp takes place on a beach. A small town by the ocean in the time of explorers and pirates alike. The port is about 50 miles (80 km) to the north of the town. About a two days ride by single horse. East is inland, west is ocean. Not far south, about 20 miles (32 km) is a sharp rocky outcrop with a light house on top of the cliff.

 

Races

 

Humans: male and female, can be a explorer, pirate, or someone working in he town (it's a fishing town) I will only allow one of these per person, the rest are NPCs

 

Merpeople: both female and male (look up anime mermen for best results) they can have a variety of tails from various fish, they can sing but it has no affect on people. A kiss from a merperson allows a human to breathe underwear for that week.

 

Sirens: these are the "witches of the sea" and strictly female. Their voices bewitch people to come near them, bringing both peace and sorrow and helps those see their own flaws. They can have fish tails, but most have tails of sea serpents, sharks, whales,dolphins, sea snakes, octopus, eels.... and other such odd shapes. Those with fish tails must have some marking on them to show them separate from merpeople. A kiss from a siren can kill a human or save them depending on their wishes. (A single kiss can help a human breath underwater for a month.

 

(Some NPCs sirens are evil in nature, others don't have to be)

 

Plot

 

The merpeople and sirens are a dieing race. Being unable to reproduce with each other, they turn to the land dwellers and vie for their attention and attempt to court them. As this courting continues with some hesitation from humans (who all know of their kind but from the siren song, and don't know to trust them) something evil, sinister and ancient lurks beneath the waves, about to awaken.

Accepted Sheets!

 

Humans:

 

Username: Araora

Name: Engl (In- gale)

Gender: Female

Race: Human

Age: 19

Occupation: Keeper of the lighthouse

History: Her family have been keepers of the lighthouse form many years. Her father passed when she was ten leaving her alone to keep the lighthouse going for nine years. She is a strong swimmer and can row a boat in rough seas with ease. She fishes off of the dock at the base of the cliff or in the rock strewn waters around the cliff, her family having to be able to navigate the rocky waters at night by the time they are old enough to hold an oar. Excellent eyesight at night (she has to, being in the dark most of the time)

Personality: For many years it was just her and her father, the only human reaction she has had in a while. Because of this she is shy, but only a little, and stutters when she talks to others. Mostly she is bold and daring, and would jump to save sailors (doesn’t matter of they are pirates to her) at a moments notice if need be no matter the weather.

Looks: Engl

 

Username: Dotzrus

Name: Captain Jacus Von Fang

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Age: 28

Occupation: Freelancer

History: Born straight into a Pirate crew as a child prodigy, Jacus lived a life on the seas. Once he was old enough to captain his own ship in the pirate fleet, he decided to be a freelancer, offering his skills to those who paid the most, targeting merchants and pirates alike. Recently he has been on vacation, and vacation for a pirate usually is drinking and searching for treasure.

Personality: Jacus is a "smooth sailor" and a sweet talker. He at times will throws words around and somehow make it work in his favor. In a fight, he talks a lot, when sailing, he sings a lot. The only time you can catch him quiet is when he is drinking, which he does infrequently for a sailor.

Looks: Here

 

Username: seacatsmew

Name: Embrye (emm-bry(bry is like fry))

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Age: 23

Occupation: Explorer!

History: Embrye has a habit of getting lost. And I don't just mean the lost you get in towns or forests- I mean, he can get into the strangest places from, well, strange places. It was a 'skill' he got from his mother. Somehow. Anyways, his life, since he left his parents, has literally been all about exploring. And getting lost, somehow. He's lucky enough not to get into any real danger, but he's had some close calls.

Personality: He's a fairly optimistic guy, with a knack for getting lost, but also some pretty good luck. Sometimes. Kind of. He's friendly and a bit naive, which has gotten him into a lot of trouble.

Looks: Here you go.

 

Merpeople:

 

Username: seacatsmew

Name: Tyne (Tine)

Gender: Male

Race: Merperson

Age: 132. Looks around... Maybe 20?

Favorite thing to do: He enjoys daydreaming, and watching fish swim by.

History: When he was younger- around 80- he was quite reckless and liked to do things he shouldn't, such as swim really close to human settlements, and as a result, was injured. He has no idea why, but one of them attacked him, and ended up injuring his tail. He swam away before anything worse happened, but has had a scar ever since.

Personality: He enjoys teasing others, and often seems quite sarcastic. He has a strong distrust for humans, due to what happened in his past, and tends to keep away from anywhere he's seen one due to this. ...So, this 'courting' thing does not sit well with him at all.

Looks: Here. His tail looks like this, but the coloring is the same as this, minus the scar. Which is a pale pink.

 

Username: Aroara

Name: Teyna (tea-n-ah)

Gender: female

Race: mermaid

Age: 126 (looks 22)

Favorite thing to do: ride dolphins, and swim along the reef

History: (optional)

Personality: She is very shy, but is a day dreamer and often floats just below the surface looking down at the reef. She looks up to the older merpeople, being the youngest, and doesn't like sirens all to well for they bully her.. oh and she hates bullies.

Looks: Teya

 

Sirens:

Username: Aroara

Name: Fyre

Gender: Female (not a option!)

Race: siren

Age: 200 (looks like 20)

Favorite pass time: She likes to lay on the beach in the sun or round up jellyfish.

History: (Optional)

Personality: curious, calm, and always up for an adventure! She gets in trouble with the sharks and her "sisters" or fellow sirens for playing tricks on them and messing with their spells, often splashing them where they are singing.

Looks:Fyre

Mark: Mark in picture, the three moon is black and on her chest on the left side just beneath her collarbone.

type of tail: black stripped sea serpent with red fish fins.

 

 

No longer playing!

 

Username: TehUltimateMage

Name: Nathan Leblanc (Nickname: Nate)

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Age: 20

Occupation: Shopkeep/Freediver

History: Having grown up all his life in this same town, all Nate knows is the ocean's waves. At most his contact with the rest of the world are stories brought by sailors and the occasional traveler who passes through the small shop of trinkets (and jams and dried fish) owned by his aging parents. He doesn't really know what he wants to do with his life, but he is content with what he has right now.

Personality: Nate is quiet, introverted, and prefers to be alone. He doesn't really talk to people and seems to spend his free time floating in the ocean than looking for something to do. Despite that, Nate is a sensitive guy even if he doesn't know how to react to other people's feelings or act on his own emotions.

Looks: Of course I'd pick Haru as an image.

 

Username: TehUltimateMage

Name: Selena (SELL-eh-nah)

Gender: Female (not a option!)

Race: Siren

Age: ~219 years

Favorite pass time: Causing mischief and collecting shinies -- mostly by plundering ships she or other sirens have sunk.

History: [Will complete later]

Personality: Selena is not a particularly nice siren. She is known to play around with lost sailors before killing them, and setting spells she harbors particular hate for. Selfish and vain, she is easily bribed by objects and promises but will hold grudges if others double-cross her. She is loud and makes her disdain openly visible, though she tones it down around people who she deems important to her.

Looks: Will add colors later. Her straight hair is a pale coral orange and is shorter in the back.

Mark: A black serpent coiling up her left arm.

Type of tail: Like a comet goldfish -- orange and white with a delicate, long and flowing tail fin almost the length of her actual tail. She has fins on her hips and a dorsal fin that runs along her human back

Seems interesting. ...But I'm always interested in anything to do with the ocean and Sirens and Merpeople. Might I join in, too? I'm a bit dusty from lack of RPs lately though.

Engl sat on her dock with a fishing rod in hand as she looked out to the vast ocean. It was midday, the cool breeze soft and salty, the ocean calm. She whistled as she waited for a bite a sailors tune,

was the most catchy and her favourite one. Beside her sat a siren. She and the fish woman made a "mutual partnership" between each other. The siren wanting to irritate her kin by interrupting their songs by the rocks with a song closer to the ships and leading them away to sea or to port. (The song's strength depends on how close the siren is to the human, the closer, the better.) While Engl wanted to protect the sailors, thus a partnership was struck. The siren gets to annoy her sisters, while making Engl's job a little easier not having to worry about trading ships crashing and sinking here to often. Now only three ships a year sink, and with very little fatalities which is very good.

 

The rocky cliffs are the only ones for several miles, so Engl often saw sirens on the rocks, and wears wax ear plugs at dawn, dusk and high tide; those being the favoured times the sea witches like to sing.

 

 

____________

 

Fyre sat beside the human, her vermilion colored tail fin trailing in the sea, splashing softly once in a while kicking up spray to keep her scales wet. She hummed the tune with the girl, humming having no affect, not like her singing. She combed her red hair out with a carved whale bone given to her by Engel. Befriending a human had some perks, like the comb and the stiff cloth band around her chest. It felt far more convertible then seashells that cut into her delicate ivory skin, or starfish that keeps falling off. She had on large sand dollars before she was given this band. Fyre also found it reduces drag and helps her swim faster then before. Her oynx tail swayed in the surf, light grey stripes looking almost silvery in the sun made it almost a hypnotic movement. Her clear aquamarine colored eyes watched the white capped waves by the reef looking for jellyfish or ships coming in to port.

Jacus Von Fang. Many words could be used to describe him. Handsome. Brave. Talented. Master of the Sea. To many though, we was a pain in the ass. Dishonest. Scourge of the Ocean. Now to himself, he was broke. Being a freelancer had many perks, but that was only if you had the money to buy those perks. Jacus sailed alone in his medium sized sail boat he dubbed, Ocean's Pride. He was making a slow approach to the port when from the wind he heard a quiet tune of a song he knew. A grin spread across his face as he loved to sing when sailing, and with this port being a chance at some money, he had high hopes.

"Heh, the wind is calling for me!" Taking a large breath of fresh sea air, he began to sing loudly.

"Ohhhhh! What we do with a drunkin' sailor, what we do with a drunkin' sailor, what we do with a drunkin' sailor early in the mornin'?!?"

 

((Lol I used to sing this at my old job with the rest of staff.))

((Sounds like a fun job!))

 

Fyre and Engl looked at each other with a giggle hearing the sailor sing his heart out. The siren, being curious, slipped in the water, placing her comb in her cave before going and investigating the ship. She swam up to the boat and popped up looking at the quality. Her clear voice sounded from the port side. "She's a good vessel, in decent shape.. hmm.. Ocean's Pride...... getting to full of yourself there sailor, you have no crew..." She disappeared before he can see her and swam ahead a little ways guiding him to the port by singing the first two verses of My jolly sailor bold before going back under water again.

Jacus blinked in surprise at the voice and the movement in the water. At the song he seemed to drift but shook his head, "Your quite bold yourself, trying to lead me astray in broad daylight Siren. I know your kind and heard your songs..." He keep his eyes on the port and headed forward, singing to himself to stay focused.

Fyre lunched herself out of the water and on to the port side bow, her tail flicking water at him. She was angry. "You dare compare me to my sisters? I was leading you to the port, the town you're heading to is hardly anything more then a fisherman town. You are the one going astray and I was helping you. Ungrateful sailor! You are lucky I am not like the rest of my kin!" She huffed and rolled back into the water doing a few jumps away from his boat towards the lighthouse.

Seeing a siren sitting beside a human, before splashing down to attempt to lead a sailor astray- in broad daylight, too- was something that caught Tyne's interest. Of course, he wouldn't dare to go too close. I mean... Humans. Too many humans. And then the siren got angry...? Well, this was beyond interesting now. Diving further down so that he'd be hidden a bit better, and wishing his scales weren't such a reflective silver, he swam closer to the one at the lighthouse. A... Girl? He couldn't see anything special above the surface from this deep, and either way, he was still too far. He swam a bit closer to both the girl and the surface, but still far enough that it'd be fairly hard to see him. Wouldn't be impossible, though. Just hard. For those above the surface, at least.

 

((Sorry about the short post.))

Jacus blinked in confusion as water splashed, he had never heard of a helpful siren. Naturally curiosity got to him and he walked over to the port side and called out, "I apologize!" He honestly had nothing else to say. What does one say to a mythical creature that helped him, 'Want me to take you dinner'? It would just be odd.

((It's fine Seacat!))

 

Engl was currently reeling in a fish, but it was to small so she carefully took out the hook and set it back in the water before re-baiting it and skillfully flicked it way out of the rocks. She sighed and sang softly another sea shanty. She sat got a little longer before a strong tug on the pole alerted her and She fought the fish, but the fish swam off pulling her off the dock and into the water, dragging her a little ways before she whipped out a small knife and cut the line. Treading water, she put her knife back and the pole between her teeth before swimming to the surface. She swam back to the dock, but got caught in a riptide and slammed into a rock trying to escape it. Her pole snapped and she went under, dazed from her head hitting the jagged rocks. Her long honey brown hair swirled around her as she sank slowly to the sea floor.

 

______

 

Fyre swam back, yet kept her distance this time. "Apology accepted... and to prove to you I am not like my kin..." She vaulted out of the water once more, throwing a oyster into his boat before twisting around and splashing back down. The water surface was clear of ripples when she came up again. "Sell that at Port.... it would fetch a fair price. Maybe get you a better ship and a crew." She dove back under again, her black and silver tail tipped with the blood red fin was the last thing he saw of her.

Jacus took the the oyster and opened it. A smile came upon his face as he closed it and took control of the ship again, sailing it into port, "Yoo hoo, yoo hoo, A pirates life for me." He flagged a portman and docked his ship, jumping onto the dock. "Let's see what this town has to offer..."

Torn between leaving her because humans couldn't be trusted, and saving her because some humans could be trusted, Tyne made a split second decision. Swimming as fast as his tail would let him, he reached her quickly, and swam upwards, grumbling all the while and hoping that he'd make it in time because he didn't know CPE or whatever it was called. CPR? He thought that sounded correct, CPR. He then realized that he was at the surface. As carefully as he could manage, he placed the girl on a flat rock. He then paused. He remembered seeing her with a fishing pole... Perhaps he should...? With a sigh at his terrible decisions, he dove back down to find the snapped rod.

It didn't take him long to find it. He also spotted a knife he recalled her falling with, and hesitated before grabbing it, too. He swam back up and placed the objects down beside her, the knife more carefully then the rest, and farther away from her. He paused before raising a hand and placing two fingers carefully against her throat, checking for a pulse. ...It was there all right. Now, then, how fast would she wake up? ...She wouldn't need medical attention, would she? These thoughts distracted Tyne.

((I wouldn't mind! I'll close the topic and set reservations for you but... given the plot and you having two females, I think I'll allow Seacat and/or Dotz to make another human for them (three is enough for me and I (and you guys) play all NPCs. ((On a side note LOVE my royal blue minimalist design you did, I have it saved and everything.)) It is a bit of romance if you're fine with that.))

 

The port was a swash of activity and finery. In the market, merchants hawked their wears and a bid was going on for a fine vase that was rather large. Women sold jewelry and necklaces, while their fisherman husbands hauled in their day's work and cleaned the fish. Farther in where pubs and inns where sailors stayed. And more inland what the tailors and carpenters, blacksmiths and lower class workers.

Engl coughed and spat out the salty water nearly retching what she had in her stomach as she sputtered. She sat back after her fit gulping down the salty air, her hand touching the back of her head where a lump had formed and was bleeding slightly. She groaned and nearly rolled off the rock scraping her arm when she caught herself and sat up eyes shut tight against the pain. "Lost my good rod and a headache in the same day... rotten luck."

Tyne jumped as the girl spoke, before quickly recovering. "Well, technically, the rod is just broken. Look beside you," he said after a moment, hoping he wouldn't startle her too much. "And yes, being saved from drowning is the absolute worse luck you can get," he added sarcastically. He couldn't help the sarcasm. Especially since it didn't seem like she had noticed him yet. 'Now, then. How will she react?' he wondered, swimming back a bit so that if she decided to resort to violence, he wouldn't immediately be stabbed.

 

((Tyne isn't good with greeting humans. Expect sarcasm until he warms up a bit.))

(Seacat or Dotz would either of you to make a human male got mage's siren please? Dotz I think it'll be cool if Jacus had a brother or buddy... I'm letting the rules bend because rp is closed now...(I'm making a mermaid right now and getting excited because it's almost finished!))

 

Engl looked up at at the merman blinking a couple times but was unfazed by him being there. "You saved me? Thank you very much! I'm sure the sailors would appreciate it too, because with out me, the lighthouse won't work....." She looked beside her at her rod and sighed, shoulders sagging. "I guess I have to dust off my dad's rod now... this thing can be repaired but I can't afford it right now...." She saw him swim a little ways away. "Why did you do that?" She frowned slightly. Her eyes a amber eyes studying him confused.

((No need for that, Jacus be the only human I need.))

 

Jacus pocketed the oyster and went to the local tavern. He bought a drink and sat down, thinking about the siren. I puzzled him to no end. Why would a siren help him? He had seen what sirens could do to men. Sometimes mermaids would cause sailors deaths too by accident. Either way, the merfolk were dangerous. He began to talk to the locals in the bar about if they knew about any local sirens.

((I'll make one, then, if you want. ^^))

 

Tyne blinked. Now, that was an unexpected reaction. ...Then again, he hadn't really interacted with humans since his little 'accident'. "Ah, a keeper of the lighthouse, hmm? Interesting. As for why I swam away..." It couldn't hurt, right? She looked genuinely confused. Or was she just that good of an actress? Well, today was full of terrible decisions based on this girl, so why not make another. He eyed her warily before speaking. "...Don't trust you humans. Not one bit," he responded finally, deciding that no, it wouldn't be right to say why. Not to a stranger. "What's your name?" he asked, brushing some of his hair out of his face and staring straight back at her with a pair of dark violet eyes.
