Chatterbox: Inkwell

I don't know what to call this RP. Emily Windsnap RP? Mermaid RP? Those don't sound very interesting. 

You DO NOT have to have read the Emily Windsnap books to participate in this RP. It is only based off of the books. We will be using the same I-turn-into-a-mermaid-when-I-go-in-water concept. That's pretty much all that is the same.

You can be one of the following: A kid ages 10-18 who turns into a mermaid/merman when they touch the water, a regular mermaid/merman, or a sea creature.

If you are one of the kids that turns into a mermaid/merman when they touch the water:

You are the child of a mermaid/merman and a regular human. This results in your ability to change form depending on whether you're on land or not. You're dangerous.

At least in the eyes of the merpeople, you are.

They have been raised knowing that humans are their number one enemy. Hybrids like yourself, well, they think you are even more of a threat. They've been taught to destroy all hybrids on sight. You look exactly like a normal merperson in the water, though, so you're safe. For now.

If you are a regular mermaid/merman:

From a young age, you've been taught that hybrids are even more dangerous that humans. And humans- they're the cause of almost all the merpeople's problems. But, you've heard rumors of hybrids returning to the water, returning home. How could this be true?

If you were, by chance, to catch one, it would be of the highest honor to kill it. You would be rewarded greatly.

If you are a sea creature:

You live side by side with the merpeople. They may be violent at times, but you respect each other- right now. With the rumors of "dangerous" hybrids coming back to the sea, tensions are brewing, and innocent merpeople are being captured and killed. Everyone speaks the same language underwater, so you can understand the merpeople and the hybrids. What they're saying at the moment, though, are things you're not sure you want to hear.

The setting:

The merchildren's school is in a place called Seashell Cove. It's off the coast of California.

We do not have a name for the school yet. If you have ideas, please share.

So, the plot: 

The hybrids are being sent to an underwater school by their human parent, because they need to learn how to control themself as a merperson as well as a human. Little did they know, hybrids are not safe in the merpeople's realm. 

The merchildren go to the same school as the hybrids. As I've said before, they've been taught that hybrids are dangerous. (This is a misconception, but they don't know that) If they caught one, it would bring great honor to them and their family.

The sea creatures don't really go to school. They are friends with the merchildren, though, because many young sea creatures live in Seashell Cove and hang out around the school. 

You may have up to 2 charries. Lavender and I (we're doing it together) will start once 3-5 people join, but there's no limit to how many people can join.

I'm sorry that this is so long. If you have any questions, please ask.

Here's the character sheet. We will post our charries underneath because the is already too long.
