Empty Seas RP!
I know. *sigh* Another RP . . . more responsibility for me and others. But hey, they're super fun right?
---
The ocean is everlastingly empty.
No gently waving anenomes, no flamboyant fish with all the rainbow trapped beneath their scales --
Perhaps it was here once; it's gone now. And they, that is, the children, have never known it. All they know is straight blue and dark rock under their scaly feet. That and the white-stuff, the only living thing besides them, that clings to the rocks. On this they and their families feed.
When the serpents come, as they know they will . . . . . There will be no hope for any of the tribes, not Kolet, not Brayza, not Taxad, not Jae.
Some of their children, their finned, sclay, but still humanoid children (not merrows! Akwin knows not merrows!) must depart, go far to the east, and seek the serpents' lair -- ask them not to come.
Or seek the shore. But which of the Ocean Ones would dare do that?
---
Heh yeah whatever I came up with all that just now . . . hope it's OK.
First of all, THE RULES (yeah this RP has rules, yo!)
1) No swearing, of course, even in small ways (but you can make up pretend swear words especially for Ocean Ones to use; "sharkscale!" "fishbite!", etc.)
2) A maximum of 2 characters from each tribe, and they must be between the ages of 10 and 18.
The sheet is as follows:
Name:
Age:
Gender:
Tribe:
Appearance (I hope what I gave above is enough for how they're supposed to look):
Personality:
Other:
And here's my charrie:
Name: Ashva Orll
Age: 14
Gender: Male
Tribe: Taxad (which means only one more charrie for Taxad!!)
Appearnce: Light green/white scales, in fact almost minty. Long red wavy hair (it's hard to see he's a boy at first). Deep blue eyes, pointed chin, thin, large fins.
Personality: He doesn't like to let his feelings show. He can be pretty sharp, even among friends, and at other times he's really nice. He is quite proud and considers Taxad the best tribe of the Empty Seas.
Other: He would rather search for the shores of didtant lands than beg for help "from wretched sea stalkers!"
So long. See you in the Empty Seas.

Sure! Cousins sounds cool!
Polis~
Yes! Yes! YES!!! This is the best thing that’s ever happened to me! I’m going with Vicky to meet the serpents! This will be so fun!!! Oh my scales, I wonder what they look like! What color? How big?
I’m prancing around the camp with happiness when I see Vicky swimming away fast. It’s hard to tell, but she looks unhappy. Why could she be unhappy? She just got chosen for the most important mission of the century! Still, I follow her to see if I can cheer her up.
I chase her for over an hour before catching up. She’s sitting on a rock sobbing. Sobbing?! What under the sea could make my cousin so upset?
”What’s wrong?” I ask her.
She sniffles. “The mission is hopeless. No way are the serpents gonna listen.”
”No it isn’t!” I protest. “It’ll be so fun! Meeting the other tribes, exploring new places, and meeting those serpents! It’s so exciting!”
”I guess,” Vicky admits. She smiles, but I can tell it’s a fake smile.
”Do you want to go back to camp?” I ask her.
”No thanks. I’ll stay out a little longer.”
”Suit yourself.” I turn away and swim back toward the camp.

I reached my spot, away from it all. It was a cavern of whistlefood-That's what I called the white stuff- and a few things that I had found that had dropped off from the shore. It was proof for my theory that there was life up there, life with tools, life with legs and knowledge and life that could be willing to help us.
The first thing I found was a crushed up cylinder. blue-ish with white specks. It was hard and had a sharp edge I cut myself on multiple times. I trained myself to use it as a weapon. It had odd tasting water in it. Maybe the life up there thought it was tasty? It defintly made the whistlefood taste better.
Another thing I had: an emptied out round cylinder, blue, with weird designs all over it. It even had a handle! I had poked eyeholes through it as a helmet.
My favorite of all: a neck rope! that's what i called it, anyway. It looked stunning: pretty rocks, multiple chains, and really, REALLY LONG! I loved to put it on and act pretty and loved, like a Taxad or a Brayza, or anyone but a Jae.
Today, though, I wasn't in the mood to play or train. I had a job to do. I had been planning this for my entire life. I packed all my stuff into the helmet-holder, which I had about ten of, and almost forgot my notes. I swam faster than...a fast swimming Taxad. As soon as I arrived at our village, I swamm above the rocks and above everyone.
"KOLETS AND BRAYZAS, JAE'S OF ALL AGES! I HAVE A BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!"
Today was the day.
the day I would convince the tribes to seek the shore.

What the -
I looked up to see a blue skinned teenager, slightly older than I, above the camp.
"Uh," I said. 'are you looking for your fellow Jaeans? They're all out white-stuff hunting. They were looking for you, but you seem to have . . .not noticed."
"Oh." She swims cown to me, blue skin reddening. "OK. Why are you here?"
"Uh. I don't know. I got some news which was sort of upsetting and I just needed to get away from my camp. I'm Taxadian, by the way. My name's Ashva Oril."
"Cool. I'm Vicky."
We are both silent for a moment.
"was the news about the serpent thing? Are you going?"
"Yeah. It was. I'm so angry; my tribe leader didn't even tell us how we were supposed the keep them from coming. And - And - this might sound silly, but I want to find . . . land."
Vicky's eyes lit up. "So do I! That's what I was going to tell the village, that we need t find land instead of just going deeper into the sea; it would take us a while to re-adapt to, like, breathing air, but we could do it!"
I think for a moment about the The Shore. There's tons of life there. All of us - I don't know how many kids are going - could start a new life there, meet our ancestors - Martus says the landmen are our ancestors -
"Tell you what," I say. "How about halfway through the journey, maybe sooner, we tell the other kids about what we - uh- wanna do. If you do this now, the grownups won't let you. Though I guess you basically are grown up."
Vicky smiles. "That will work. You're probably right. I mean, do they really expect us not to come back or run away or something?? A band of kids heading out into the ocean on a dangerous and pointless mission aren't neccesarliy going to come back."
~~~
Hope this is OK!

YES THAT'S GREAT THANK YOU!
*********************
Woops, I made a mistake. But I guess that's just the way the rock crumbles, and anyway, I met Ashva! I'm glad I met him; He's really smart and wise, and he wants to see the shore just as much as I do!
Suddenly, I noticed a thing above us. It was greyish-white, and had six holes in it. I recognized it's color immediately.
"Look, Ashva, whistlefood!" I point to the scrap above us.
He looks confused. "Whistlefood?" he asks.
I stare at him for a bit, then realize my mistake.
"Oh, it's," I say swimming up to the whistlefood, "what I call the, uh, white stuff."
"But why Whistlefood? It doesn't whistle, or look like a whistle, Whistles don't even loo-"
"It just sounds nice and whimsical!" I retort grinning, swimming down with the scrap and tearing it in half, "Here! Try some!"
I hand some to Ashva, who looks at it oddly. "I'll...save it for later," he remarks, putting it down.
I tear some off with my teeth. It's stretchy! And, as It find out when I stuff it in my mouth, chewy and bitter. I swallow it reluctantly.
"Mmm, it's..." I struggle for a word, "...interesting. Oh!" I take out the can of odd liquid.and start to open it a bit. Then I look at Ashva.
"Open your mouth," he obliges. I get the can really close to his face, then open and close it. He closes his mouth right after the liquid enters his mouth.
"How does it taste?"

They're casting lots right now. I don't particularly want to go, as I have so much to do here: practicing my fighting skills, listening the Yartha's stories, guarding the North Border. But if it's for the good of Brayza, I guess it's worth it.
I'm standing outside the Council cave, where the elders are deciding who will go. A few other people are here too, mostly swarthy boys who have probably come more to stare at me than to be the firsts to know.
Well, it's true.
Birtune comes out the cave, stooping as usual.
"Rilaf!" he croaks. "It's you. Akwin bless you on your journey."
"Now all the boys and the other elders start to congratulate me, wishing me well. I'll leave tomorrow, apparently. I nod and accept their words, but secretly I am wondering about being with kids from other tribes. I shall have to be careful how I conduct myself, for Brayza really is the greatest of the tribes and I am the only representative on this journey.

Kaifu~
I stand before the council of elders, having just got the news that I'm going on a mission with other seadwellers to go talk to serpents??? They also told me to go meet them and to represent Kexlae with pride, though they don't look at me and I get the feeling that they just want me to leave. I quickly thank them for the honor and swim to my cave to wait for Odash, he usually gets here a few blips before sunpeak but today he's late. To be fair, I am too but still!
I wait for him for a while before I hear someone swimming towards me, I shoot up from my seated position and swim to the door, as I reach it I start to call out "You're lade Odash" but stop in the middle of the sentence. There's a female seadweller treading water in front of me I make a small noise of surprise and shrink back from her, bumping into a solid body in the process*.
~~~
Which seadewller has scared Odash's bean?
*the solid body is Odash deciding to sneak behind Kaifu, I can't write that at the moment but I'll try to later
(March 26, 2019 - 1:28 pm)
OK I'll take this into my own hands if nobody else will *scowls*
Rilaf~
I stand before a purple Ocean one, about my age. He looks at me warily. It makes me feel uneasy, which is weird because I usually don't feel that way.
"Uh, hi," I say, putting a hand up to my hair unconsciously (at least it's supposed to look that way). "I'm so sorry _ I was practicing my spear throwing-"
The boy and his companion look a little alarmed. I smile. "And I seemed to have accidentally thrown too far . . ."
I go and pick up my spear, which is lying nearby.
~~~
uuuuuuh why does this always happen to meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee guys please poooooooooooooost
(March 29, 2019 - 5:25 pm)
Odash~
I look at the female standing before Kaifu and me before saying sofltly, since my voice tends to boom, "It's quite alright, I was just a bite late in meeting up with Kaifu here." I gesture to the aforementioned sea dweller who is shaking like a leaf. "He hasn't had much experiendce in meeting others." I hold my hand out, smiling at the strange girl. "I'm Odash, it's a pleasure to meet your aquantince." I flip on the charm that I'm supposed to use when meeting with other clanmembers.
Kaifu~
I shift to the left and slightly behind Odash when he starts talking, watching them wearily. She can tell. She can tell I'm not normal. I curl my into a fust, hiding the swirl on my right palm with my fingers.
~~~
Not feeling too great but posting! Don't worry Jith, I've got you covered... at least a little bit anyways.
(March 29, 2019 - 7:06 pm)
Amalia~
This was a mistake. Coming here - whenever here is - was not the smartest move. This is why exploring is not always great. I’ve been caught, and by two people at that.
“I-i’m Amalia,” I stutter, lifting my chin and taking the intimidating one’s hand. His grip is gentle, surprisingly. The other one shifts behind his friend, and I peer at him curiously. Something about him feels... almost familiar. “And who are you?” I ask coolly.
”Kaifu,” he says, his voice wary.
Oh right! I kick myself mentally. Odash said that already. Stupid.
I open my mouth to say more, but Odash’s eyes suddenly widen in alarm and he pulls me into the cave.
———————
sorry! I know this is short, but I had to at least out something. Hopefully, it’s alright.
(March 30, 2019 - 6:52 pm)
Um Kestrel I already took care of this part . . . . just read my comment from earlier
(March 31, 2019 - 3:00 pm)
Oh sorry! I’ve been having a really bad week and keep making mistakes. Scratch all that then!
(March 31, 2019 - 3:45 pm)
It's OK. :) Have a potato chip . . . . or a donut . . . .oh yeah I forgot there's only white-stuff here. Ergh. Anyway, I hope your week gets better!
(March 31, 2019 - 4:58 pm)
PLEEEEEASE don't let this die guys . . . . . . .
