Dynamic Siren/Mermaid Roleplay (closed!)

(That would be a question for @"nessieft.procrastination" , so I guess ignore it for now..? At least until we understand it a bit better.)

(This is a reminder for me to actually start working on (a) character(s) tomorrow, don't mind me…)

(Should we have a rp order? Group rps tend to die quickly when there's only 2 of the 3 people online and the 3rd person doesn't know how to insert themselves…)

Sure! I haven't rped in a while so literally tell me what I should do to keep this going, I'm not strict at all :)

(aLSO)
(what do you mean by "perception between the folds of the world"?)

What I meant by this is that the Siren's are usually in a lot deeper waters than the Mermaids, so they usually see a lot more and find much more interesting objects. They have also been around a lot longer so much more knowledgeable as well. They've been described by fishermen to be ruled both by heaven and the underworld, their song sang to Persephone, so I'm guessing they definitely see through the folds of all three worlds really well. Just a super mysterious group so feel free to let your imagination run wild.

Also your character looks great! I'm going to really try and work on my characters I just have sooooooo much homework already.

(Yes!)

(I think we're planning on coming up with characters and then we can discuss plot. I'm open to everything :) Could even insert some pirates if anyone wants to make some human characterssss)

(…I thought we could do multiple character's and have them each be in either of these worlds? Maybe the way they all meet is because both groups see the same ship in the middle of the ocean…the first they have seen in a long time?)

^^^

(me personally, i find it easiest to manage just one character, and cool cool, i'll go ahead and do some quick editing on Darya rq)

You could even give her like the ability to see in the future, things like that see between the "folds." A lot of Sirens are gifted bc of how old they are. But just make sure it's not too OP!

(Haisley looks great! Feel free to make more characters if you'd like )

Perfect! Also Siren's are primarily from Greek culture, so I was thinking they could be located near Scylla and feel free to add any info about god's and more if that's something you're interested in.

(My siren character's! I believe I'll have a mermaid character up later)

Name: Delphi Aetós
Gender: Female
Species: Siren
Sexuality: Pansexual
Age: Appears to be around 19 years, but is much closer to a few centuries.
Appearance: Her features are slim and startling, with a small, squared jaw, high cheekbones and full, wide lips. Her nose is rather wide and odd for her features, as if she had some sort of african or middle eastern background. She seems to always have her lips pulled into a deep frown or snarky half smile. Delphi’s eyes are wide and upturned, fading to an eerie murky white tone, framed by thick grey lashes. They are weak in the daylight, so she rarely goes up to the surface unless it is nighttime. Her white hair resembles a color that is almost faded, light grey, falling around her head in a coiled halo. The strands look messy, pointed every which way, a layer of brilliantly glowing frizz adding to the space it takes up. Her build is also quite small, her collarbone prominent, joints nobby and shoulders rounded. Her skin resembles a tone somewhat similar to a deep, murky green-blue, though she imagines it would be a more light, grey-blue in the daylight. Her tail matches this tone, only a few shades darker. It is covered in deep, ridged scales, the end a few plumed feathers. Wears a few heavy silver bangles her brother had once found off of the coast.
Personality: A generally reserved person around others, does not like to make small talk oftenly. She isn’t quiet in a calm way, but instead resembles something more eerie and snappish. When she is close to someone she is brash and blunt with her careful wording and enjoys making loudly opinionated statements. Her temper can be short and quick, especially when she cannot grasp a concept. She is oftenly in a sour mood and usually has a reserved appearance on her features, disabling others from advancing. Little to no people have had her open up. She rarely trusts anyone, much less men, and enjoys sticking to what she knows. Fiercely protective of her brother.
Likes: The sound water makes when it laps against the rocks near her home, the breeze at nighttime when she goes up to the surface, the small, unruly cove near the Sirens, singing (not just to drown), the sound of human music.
Dislikes: Men, especially humans, promises, daylight, trade ships.
Backstory: Delphi had a very difficult life leading up to her human death. Both her and her brother’s family had been rather poor growing up, so both had learned to help in the stocks surrounding her province’s trade docks. It had been almost a few centuries ago, perhaps a time around the early beginning of the the Roman Empire. Once in a while, she would be taken upon the boat in order to help load packages, and could even be taken on these passages across the cape. She had always been a headstrong person, not taking no for an answer, even when her brother despised going on the trade journey’s…especially the way the men tried to fondle Delphi oftenly. One day, on one of these boats, the crew had met a disastrous tempest in the Western Sea, between Scylla and Aeaea. A large belief among men of this time was that when a tempest approached, women were a terrible omen, and the God’s demanded a sacrifice. Delphi and her brother put up a tremendous fight, yet it was impossible to coax themselves out. Both were thrown overboard into the water, ending Delphi’s young love for the water and beginning her despise of men.
Other (abilities, etc): Her home is located by Syclla, a coast off of Greece where most Sirens dwell. She hasn’t unlocked any abilities yet, but prays towards Persephone for guidance most oftenly.

Name: Castor Aetós
Gender: Male
Species: Siren
Sexuality: Bisexual (leans heavily towards men)
Age: Appears to be around 22, but is around a couple centuries of age.
Appearance: Also has a quite chiseled face, his cheekbones prominent with a rounded face shape, and a slim nose that widens drastically at the end. His features are much softer, with round, almond shaped eyes, reflecting a murky, white color. His lips are full but small, pulled into soft smiles or a reserved frown. The locks on his head fall in much looser curls, but have grown out quite a lot, falling across his gaze, but a brilliant, white halo as it floats in the water. Both he and his sister have much more lanky, petite builds, his chest lacking much definition, knobby shoulders, long fingers, some of his bones much more prominent. His skin tone is a murky, light blue, yet carries many large white splotches (almost like vitiligo) These markings are found near his eye, one on his jawline, a few, faint splatters across cheeks, but the larger ones are strone across his collarbone, chest and back. Castor’s tail is slim and a dark grey, resembling something similar to a shark, with the same, light splatterings. He lacks feathers like most of his counterparts. Across his neck and wrists can be found leather bound, crystal necklaces that he has found near shipwrecks and Circe’s island, some beautiful aquamarine tones.
Personality: Quite, quite different from his sister and the rest of the Siren’s. He’s quiet and prefers to be outcasted from the others, a reserved look to him. He is soft spoken by nature, a dreamer and often finds himself lost in his thoughts. Castor does not enjoy making a scene, but is willing to stand up for himself. He trusts people much more easily than his sister, believes strongly in karma, but it renders him a bit naive. When around his Siren counterparts, Castor opts for being seen as quiet and unfeeling, rather than more of an emotional person. His past did not break him as much as it did his sister, yet deep inside him shares a blistering hatred for what the sailors had done to them, especially her.
Likes: Compared to his sister, he can go up to the surface during the day and prefers to explore nearby areas, especially the island coves. He is rarely at home. He loves sweet pies and fruits, much of which he used to eat as a human, crystals, bright colors, makeup, his sister’s hair and the way she sings, prayers.
Dislikes: Does not enjoy to partake in the drownings of sailors, yet he tries to remind himself of what had happened to him, loud noises, storms.
Backstory: Very similar to Delphi and along the same lines. He’s had to work very hard his human life and did not get to experience much. He had experienced his first love with a boy named Aeneas, but was quickly separated when his parents had found out (being gay was prominent during his lifetime, but not completely accepted.)
Other (abilities, etc): Has not accessed too many abilities yet, faint telepathy with Delphi though she is rarely aware of it. Very good at healing.

Hey, may I join this possibly? I know I'm a bit new to the notebook roleplaying scene but this seems like it would be fun!
