MERMAIDS
Below is information regarding Merfolk. This is to ensure everyone remains consistent when creating a mermaid. If you have any questions about what his permissible, feel free to contact us staff or @seawitch. Any modifications must be run by the staff.
Poseidon's Rule
The mermaid and merman race is ruled by the King/God of the Seas: Poseidon. He rules all the ocean realms alongside his wife (prior to her death) and his daughter, Ursula. He appoints pod leaders that are essentially generals to manage certain areas, however he is the ultimate authority and places only people whom he trusts and who show the utmost loyalty in these positions. He is forgiving to an extant however mutiny and other crimes will not be taken lightly. These are punishable by death or banishment to land. He does not tolerate disrespect which can result in poor harvesting of coral and other Merfolk food; the possible punishment of severity depends on the situation. Nothing can be done in any of the realms without Poseidon's knowledge and consent. Betraying his rule and word is a severe crime.
Ursula's Rule
Using Poseidon's trident, Ursula transformed herself into the sea witch of old legend, making her the most powerful and feared in all the sea realms; even more powerful than Poseidon himself.
Powers
- Merfolk have the power to give humans temporary underwater breathing with a kiss.
- Merfolk have the ability to communicate with other sea life as they are part fish. They also have unique communication techniques only understood by them.
- Merfolk can only walk on land with the use of a special bracelet. This allows them to go back and forth between human and mermaid however this bracelet is not easily obtained. They are locked securely in Poseidon's vault. (if there is an alternate way you would like to explore, you must discuss it with the Staff).
- The tears of a mermaid have the ability to cure very limited physical injuries, but not life threatening ones. I.e. a cut or bruise.
- Merfolk can travel at rapid speeds and through underwater portals of different realms.
Limitations
- Merfolk can not control water or the weather. These abilities are limited to Poseidon through the use of his trident.
