EMILY WINDSNAP RP!
EMILY WINDSNAP RP!
In other words, a mermaid RP. It's before Emily. I think it's pretty self-explanitory....
Name: Rochelle Fishwater
Age: ((note; mermaids have the same lifespan as humans)) 11
Appearance: Red and blue striped tail. Wavy, long, blond hair, sea green eyes. Gold wristband around her arm (explain in a sec).
Personality: Shy, defensive, friendly.
Other: (Now THIS is where things get interesting.) Her family are all rebels, including extended families. They fight against Neptune's law against human-mermaid marriage bye marrying. They live on (and around) and island called Fairmigh, where the humans are supposed to hunt down mermaids and kill them, and visa versa, except just capture humans. The Fishwaters are the humans and mermaids that don't like that. But they have been discovered and everyone is locked up, except Rochelle, who was left "free". She lived in Neptune's palace dungeon/residence, under very close guard. She escaped, though. Everyone can tell she's a Fishwater because she has the wristband, and other merpeople have been tought that the Fishwaters are dangerous. So, yeah, she's an outlaw.
P.S: Clode says awav. A wave? Silly Captcha! We aren't really on an island-- (sees tsounami) uh oh.

Hmm . . . I've never read those books. Could I still join? It looks interesting!
(March 6, 2015 - 6:46 pm)
You can still join, because it's before the books!
Here's the main thing:
The leader of the merpeople is Neptune. He is a strict leader, very strict, noisy, mean, ex. He has a trident that controls the seas and all of that, just like the tales. And (as you could probably tell) he made a law against merpeople-human marriage.

Top.

Ahem. I forgot something.
Yes, she is a part-human part-mermaid, but this is something strange: she can turn into either at will. For example, she could give someone a good hard kick with her legs-- even if she was underwater.

Oh I love Emily Windsnap! Totally joining!
name: Amelia Whalefin
age: 13
appearance: red hair, green eyes, cold colored tail: green, blue , turquoise, purple.
personality: outgoing, ambitious, to the point.
other: her mother was captured by neptune after Amelia was born because Neptune was in love with her. Amelia's father is a a half human half merman. He stays out of the water for fear of Neptune, but her mother escapes every once and a while to see Amelia and her dad.
(sorry if it's confusing)

Okay, another edit: they killed her other family.
Also, I am really excited about this RP so I'm going to start. You can join at any time and post as soon as you join.
Rochelle~
I know a life of being locked up and under close guard. I only know about having merpeople following you everywhere and having to be locked up. So being free like this... it's new to me.
I really love having so much space. I can swim and swim and swim, and there are no walls to block me, no guards to stop me. Complete bliss.
What do I do with this freedom?
It's not like I can stay with another family. I am an outlaw, and it's easy to tell. And I still have to be careful. Because I'm wanted.
I do hope that there is someone who can help me, someone who uderstands I'm being charged unfairly. But I doubt there's anyone.
Most people will believe anything.
Sometimes while I'm swimming I'll see a poster of myself. Wanted. Dangerous. Outlaw. Threat to the public. I've never done anything to anyone. Neither did my parents.
My parents. I get choked up thinking about them, murdered in the worst possible way; my mother drowned, my father put on land to dry up. Them, dying right next to each other, one on the island, one in the sea.
Grotesque.
That night I sleep in a small dune on a reef. I'm nowhere near an island. If I was near an island I would be safe.
But I'm not.
There are a few close calls that night. Patrols, commoners. Both out to get me. It doesn't matter which one it is, although the patrols might be more violent.
Violent. What do I care about violent? If I'm caught, then I will know violent.
I will know violent to the fullest extent.
I'm dropping off for the last time when I hear something behind me...

Woo-hoo! Emily Windsnap!
Name: Launa Coolstream
Age: 12
Appearnce: Curly blonde hair, pink shimmery tail, bright blue eyes, charming smile with perfectly straight, white teeth. Wears a pink starfish in her hair.
Personality: I'm-so-much-better-than-you, a know-it-all, one of those infuriating people who singles you put but acts like a perfect angel around everyone else. Still, very popular, even with her bad disposition.
Other: She's either Neptune's niece or granddaughter, (not sure how old Neptune is at this point,) and absolutely hates human-mermaid pairs. She's vowed that she'll turn in the "little outcast" (aka Rochelle,) soon as see her.
Launa
The little outcast is still out there. Shrugs may have escaped the prison, but she will not escape me. She's dangerous to all mermaids and needs to be taken down. Soon.
I tell Uncle/Grandfather I'm going to go practice my siren singing, then swim away after his nod. I immediately swim to the place that she was last sighted, then circle the area. That's when I see it. A strand of long, wavy blonde hair. Hers. I immediately swim towards the hair, towards a small cave of coral. I swear I can hear a voice.
I swim into the pink coral cave, which is pretty dark. I sight some bubbles to the left and swim towards them, willing myself to be silent. Silence, however, is not an easy feat.
She whirls around, red and blue tail flashing. I'm stunned for a second, and a second is all it take s for her to swim past me.
"Oh no you don't," I mutter, swimming after. The chase is on and I pick up speed. That mermaid may be fast, but I will catch her. I must.
P.S. Clyde says kabn. Hide from the tsunami in that cabin over there!

((This is before Emily, that's all I know.))
Rochelle~
"Come back here!" calls the mermaid. I ignore her. She's Neptune's granddaughter ((I think that suits it better)) and doesn't understand what is going on.
Doesn't understand that it isn't my fault. Doesn't understand how much pain I've been through.
"Why?" I ask, quietly. "Why are you chasing me?"
"You're an outcast," she sneers, "A half-mer. You don't belong with us."
"Is that the reason?" I ask quietly. "Are you sure?"
She shrugs. "Well, I want to please my grandad, too...."
"Would you really do that?" I whisper. "Would you really turn in an innocent person?"
"Not much they can do to you," she says.
"Oh, there is a lot they can do to me," I say. "As far as they're concerned, I'm less than a barnacle, more like the Kraken, which has to be kept under close guard. I'm not a monster. Why should I be blamed for what my ancestors did?"
She pauses for a minute, and I take that as a chance to zip back out into the sea and swim away.

P.S: Clode says ibad. What did you do, you naughty captcha?

Name: Freya
Age: 14
Appearance: Golden, long, flowing hair that dazzles everyone. Blue eyes. Sunset colors (peach, yellow, Gold, and rose pink) on her tail.
Personality: friendly, comforting, intelligent.
Other: She is the only daughter of Neptune. Freya means more then anything in the world to her father, but does not agree with his law against humans marring mere-folk. Her mother was human and married to Neptune, but she died when Freya was born. Neptune made the law ruthlessly after she died out of grief. Neptune appears strict and hard-tempered, but Freya could not wish for a better father. Since Freya's mother, Rasalind, had been human Freya can walk on land, but she prefers to stay in the depth of the sea swimming with fish, dolphins, turtles, and other mere-folk.

Oh my gosh, I LOVE those books! SQUEEAL!!
Name: Yu Lutfisk
Age: 12
Appearance: Long, wavy blonde hair and sea blue eyes with a deep purple tail.
Personality: Lonely, sad, woe is me, slightly insane, blubberish, bubbly, nice, curious, dramatic, dramatic, DRAMATIC.
Other: She is an orphan and she is really lonely and wants a family. So, yeah.....
(March 8, 2015 - 5:52 pm)
Name: Thyst Azura
Age: 12/13
Appearance: Long, dark blonde hair, green eyes, pale. Amethyst purple tail.
Personality: The scholar of the seas and basically anywhere, she is the know-it-all genius.
Other: Half mer, half human, but changes into wither at will. Can control the water element. She is the court mage and advisor.
Thyst-
I swam silently after the blue-and-red scaled mermaid, bending the water so my scales made no sound.
I swam behind her and grabbed her. She screamed and I clapped a hand over her mouth.
"I'm not trying to hurt you," I whisper, "stay calm. There's a shark-"
(March 9, 2015 - 7:57 am)
Amelia
My mother and I hear something in the distance. Voices come from the distance. This cave is our meeting spot... Usually not a place people know about. The voices get closer and closer.
"Mom, we need to hide you, go hide over there, where the coral is growing."
My mom nods at me and swims over to the coral. The voices are getting louder and louder.
I look over to check if my mom has hidden, but her tail is wedged in between two rocks.
I swim over to her to help. The voices sound like whoever they are is just around the corner.
I try to unwedge moms tail but it won't work, I try to block her as the mermaids came in.
Rochelle comes to my side with a questioning glance. ((Can we be friends?)) She looks behind me and understands. We've been friends for a while. Then, a girl, whose name I don't know, comes rushing through. I recognize her as Neptune's granddaughter.
(March 9, 2015 - 10:56 am)
Yes, that works!
Okay guys, I just got a good idea. Rochelle is locked up not because she's a semi-mer (or her ancestry) but because there's a prophecy about her. It says something like:
The semi-mer prisoner will band together with three other semi-mers to overthrow King Neptune.
But only Neptune knows about the prophecy!
P.S: Let's just forget about what Emily does, kay? Because this is getting completely different...
Rochelle~
Amelia, her mom, the new mermaid--- Thyst, the the court mage, I remember-- and I hide behind the coral as the sharks-- and Launa-- swim by us. I let out a breath I've been holding for hours. Safe.
"Thank you," I whisper to Thyst. Then I start to swim away.
"Wait," whispers Amelia. "You can stay with me and Dad."
I stay quiet for a minute. To stay with Amelia, to be in a home-- wonderous, amazing. But unsafe.
"No," I say, "I think I have to keep moving. But I will stay in the area. Bye."
With that, I give a flick of my tail and swim away.
(March 9, 2015 - 3:08 pm)
Amelia
I look at my mom as Rochelle swims away. I've offered her to stay at my house ever since I met her but she's always declined. The new mermaid, Thyst, and I help my mom unwedge her tail.
"Thanks!" she says quietly.
I nod.
"We've got to get out of here before Neptune's granddaughter comes back around," Thyst whispers.
At once we're off, looking out on either side, careful enough to not get eaten by the shark. We're out of the cave, but if we get seen, Mom will surely get captured and put under extra guard. She says Neptune doesn't put her under that much guarding because he wants her to think she's there at her free will. But he doesn't know that she escapes.
We go down to the dolphin patch, where dolphins gather every year around now. They hear us coming and swim towards us happily. They keep a safe from Neptune and hide my mom when she needs a place to hide.
