However, little did they know that some of the little creatures also wanted to know what was beyond their salty prison. The hoped to one day surface and see their land cousins too.
Things stayed the way they were for quite some time. Until humans started to use what they call, submaries, scuba suites. This words were foreign to these underwater beings and they stayed away from them whenever they arose. the invasions by these monsters we're opten attacked by vicious sea monsters because of the warnings. So humans and mer creatures never did meet...until now.

His inability to cope with sadness and accept love and trust ultimately leads him deeper into the hole of isolation. He enjoys luxury and can be quite the romantic person. Though it may not seem like it at first glance, inside Ray truly wishes to be loved, to experience love. Not necessarily in a romantic sense, but any form of appreciation.

If you give her a choice she'll take the hardest choice and stick with it. She would ask for help and insist on being on her own when someone tries to give her some generosity. She's got a horrible temper and if you make her mad she'll hurt you one way or another or dub you "not worthy of her strength or time" and leave you alone, but if she makes a freind she'll stake her life on protecting that freind.

((Alright lets begin.))

It was a cool smmer day, the docks were busteling with business. Fishermen carrying hordes of fish back from their trips and consumers buying them up. Things seemed to be well.

Under the waves however sea creatures morned the loss of their comrads and friends. One mer catfish moped ever so sadly. She cried as she rested on a underwater rock.

Ray stood by the empty ocean, dense and bleak with misfortune. When he had time to himself, he usually skipped rocks across the water surface. He was right-handed, so the rocks skipped farther across the murky water when Ray used his right hand instead of the left one. He watched each ripple tripple into many colorless waves, performing soundless rhymes on the misty water tops.

As Ray dazed out into the horizon, he began to think more about the world and how it is polluted by those who are greedy. He felt the soft sand seep downward as his shoes compress against it. The deep blue sky eventually turned into gray color, misting over the blue hues as if it was a blanket. The air thickened with moisture. Winds rose and fell in what the Ray thought was a peculiar pattern. The ocean had always been a safe haven for Ray, especially when he wants to stay away from the people around him.

((Just a question to be sure - what is the tech level? Steampunk, modern era?))

((Steam punk type I suppose. where humans are first interacting with the deep oean))

(ok ^^)

*A proud vessel was sailling the distant sea, made of steel and wood, of sails and steam. It was long, with a norse-like figure head, with three and an half mats, a long and clean deck dotted with ready cannons. A nice stout yet swift war ship, or something like that.

On it's deck were hardy sailors, drinking and partying, seemingly enjoying a quiet, relaxing sail. Strangely, they had no uniforms, and no flag was risen as of now...

The castle was on the back, rather large and signless... The driving wheel was there alsoo, of hick wood and rutilent steel. And there was a strange seat, some large throne, made of a stone and steel seat, with some strange bones... A whale's.*

(( Is it too late for Kira to join this party..If not..))

Name : Ai Occhi
Age: 18
Gender: Female

Personality: The type to just relax and enjoy what happens.

She is seen dancing a lot, she loves ballet and to sing opera. She has big dreams of expanding her career. But as a teenage girl she has the feeling of wanting love and affection, a romance like in one of her favorite plays. She was always a hopeless romantic.

Appearance:Ai Occhi sketch

Kimani walked down the shore to the beach. She always came when thing got hard at home. As she walked she saw a young man standing there, skipping rocks. No one ever comes here.. She thought. So Kimani decided to go closer.

Name: Erufu Shinrin
Age: [color=#8A2BE2]150--->
Race: Forest-elf
Appearance: pointy ears, almond-shaped unbelievably turquise eyes, long, dark green hair, and a tunic made of something like cotton. wears soft leather boots.
Bio: He's like a teenager, as elves can live thousands of years(in fact, they live eternally, unless are they killed by sword or sickness). He's got an adventurous spirit, which deeply disturbs his elders, used to live studying and meditating. Elf-lands are well hidden, in the depths of the sea, darkness of the canyons, or under the leaves of the forest. Erufu Shinrin, or Eru, is always longing to go see new places. He's got endless need to learn, which always isn't a pleasure to the castle librarian in the forest-elves' magnificent city.

:+:

Name: Sennyo Watutsumi
Age: 500--->
Race: Mer-elf
Appearance: As any mer-elf, Sennyo Watutsumi has gills, long, seaweed-like hair, and clothing of either long robes that float behind them as they swim, or coral, seaweed and oster-made waistcloth. This particular mer-elf has a golden-coloured diadem(sp?).
Bio: "(s)he's cold and (s)he's cruel but (s)he knows what (s)he's doing"(the 's' letters represent the actual words of the song: She's just the girl). I think that tells just about everything. He carries a collection of weapons:
ningyo-ha= a tooth of a giant mermaid(sounds stupid but ahh well)
uzumaki= a small, whirlpool-shaped amulet which can cast a spell sucking in small enemies
Kujira-senshu and wanizame-ya= a bow made of a whale's bone and arrows made of shark teeth.

The little mer girl sobbed into her hands for one of her fishy friends was about to be eaten she knew. SHe hugged her chest and weeped.


Above land however there was a young witch floating down the road on her broom stick. She smiled as the sun shown brightly and wasn't paying much attention as she slamed into a fish cart! Some of the fish fell back into the waters as she sat up to rub her head. "Ehehe...sorry..." She apologized.

Kimani turned to see the girl who had bumped into the fish cart. "Weirdo.." She said rolling her eyes.

Oceania swam at a slow pace, her tail beating softly just short of a heart beat... Fishing season is the time most when she felt depressed... " Why do humans eat fish?" Oceania questioned her father one day, but all she got from him was a shake of the head and the most sad expression she ever saw. Oceania turned onto her back and drifted down to a rock behind her, casted in a ray of sunshine from the surface above. She closed her eyes and layed therer for a moment, until she realized that her sun was gone. Oceania opened her eyes and looked up to the belly of a giant turtle swimming overhead... " No turtle like that lives within these waters..." Oceania swam up for a closer look.

*Atop the ship's deck, the sailors were drinking merely, singing old sea-farer melodies and generaly enjoying themselves. They had got quite a nice loot yesterday, and the capitain gave his men a rest.*

-Yo, oh, oh.... *Laughing* There is nothing like the life of a pirate! *Said a bandanaed, burly one*

-To drink, to eat and to have fun... Indeed, it is great! *A young, curly haired one knock mugs together with a barechested black one*

-May it continue that way! *hiccuped a fourth one, sat by the mast rope*

*Pirates. Those where pirates, scourge of the long sea...*

Nattenshi's head poked up from above the surface of water from below the docks. Her eyes opened, although it looked like they already were. She blinked akwardly, her weird eyes staring out across the water. She then darted back below the waves, swimming around under the water like some odd frog-like being. She spotted a mermaid crying, and stared down at her from above, casting a shadow over her weeping form. A few frogs swam by her side, each of the rather large for the normal size of a frog.

"Ahh...” Ai sighed lovingly. "That was such a great love story." She closed the book and sat at the edge of the dock, allowing her legs to dangle at its edge. She glanced out at the open sea. It seemed to look so gloomy, dank, and emotionless during the day. But travelers could always see sailors fishing or a pair of elders playing checkers or chess by the sea’s dock or bay. Ai peered out far into the ocean sometimes it would seem like a dream, or a fantasy to one day explore the great seas, and even write a love story of her own. But she was needed here, on land, for her grandfather’s sake. She was all he had, and he was all she had. Ai couldn’t help but let her thoughts leave her once in a while. Around others she was needed to be serious and responsible. That was her never resting job. “If I had…” Ai laughed, she reached her hand out in front of her and traced the ocean’s horizon, “If I had…One wish it would be…” she sighed, she dropped her hand and continued to stare out at the sea’s calmness.

“My dream will stay a dream.” She thought sadly, she hated being realistic. But it was up to her to do it. Her grandfather couldn’t do it, with his sickness growing stronger on him. She would always find him so happy and calm. He would never start complaining or start crying about anything. Even though she knew he wanted to. Instead he would tell tales of sea monsters that he dreamed of seeing or his life on the sea. The best story he ever told Ai would have to be the story of how he met Lysile. Lysile was Ai’s grandmother; mostly Ai’s grandfather would change Lysile to a beautiful mermaid or a careful Siren, who would never hurt anyone. It was the kind of love story Ai always wanted, the perfect story where she would meet the perfect guy for her. “I am so hopeless, to dream of such things now.” Ai punished herself, she kicked up some water, and turned her head to the sky.

Senshi was perdhed upon an old worn and weather eroded rock looking out to sea watching the boats appear and disappear over the horizon. She sighed a heavy sigh and looked up at the pier seeing the busy sellers and buyers buying as fast as they could, in her opinion. She looked into the shallow waters and watched the little fish dart around in the currents.

((I'm quitting... to much to keep up with.))

((It's not that hard to keep up at this point. You are not the dm.^^; Just remember of your part and don't care for the otehrs's.))

The breeze swept by Ray's face as he trailed down the beach. he was thinking about the wonders of the ocean, and why people are so eager to search through the mystic waters. He never liked the idea of man sending machinery into the ocean, especially when the ocean is an ecosystem to all sorts of species.

Ray knew he was different from others, since no one ever believes his stories of the mer-people. No one understood him. The world would never know his brilliance, because even though his eyes were wide open to the ecstacy of the wonderful unknown, everyone else’s eyes were clamped shut. Sometimes, he wished that there was at least someone out in the world that understood him. But sadly, wishes normally never comes true, and he knew for certain that his wish was only a mistake in his life.

Name: Risky Boots
Age: Roughly 27, by appearance.
Race: Human (Assumedly)
Appearance: Risky Boots
Bio: Self proclaimed queen of the seas, Risky Boots is a feared pirate who has a lot of technology at her disposal.

She uses everything she can to get what she wants. She's a sneaky, stealthy, underhanded pirate who will do anything to get her way. Being attacked by Risky is about as pleasant as a wasps nest falling on your head, only not as fun.

((I'll come back...))

Kimani turned away from the girl and walked after the man. I wonder who he is...

Ai reached the shimmering item that caught her eye a while ago. She got down on her knees and dug into the soft sand as she slowly dug it out. Once it was removed she noticed it was a beautiful Shell. Very strong and it had a pale peach color mixed with the blue bottom. Ai stared at the shell in amazement, it was perfect. She began to search her pocket till she found a sharp tool that held a sharp tip. She began to poke at the shell slowly making a hole through it. Once the hole was made she placed her tool in a little pouch and placed it back in her pocket. She pulled a long chain from her other pocket and stuck it through the hole. She snapped the necklace together and held it to her face. “Wow this is beautiful...” she sighed staring at it. A crab crawled near her foot and stopped, clapping its claws in irritation.

“Hi there, want to hear a story?” she asked it, she sat down next to the crab and grabbed it by its claws and pulled it into her palm. She handled crabs before so she knew it would be a bit irritable because of her holding it. She stared at the crab and smiled, “Alright this story is about the famous Lysile the beautiful mermaid of the seas.” Ai began the crab extended its claw open and reached towards her nose. But she quickly jerked her face away. “Lysile was a mermaid, she was very beautiful and always being admired for her beauty and loyalty to others.” Ai started, she pointed at the sea, and the crab turned its claws in agreement.

“The seas were her home and she loved them all dearly, but she had different emotions about all of the seas she adventured. But one day Lysile met a young man, who she began to admire very dearly. She gave up her life in the sea just for the love of the man. The man gave up his life at the sea also, just to be with Lysile. Lysile and this man, whose name was Vale, lived their life together, growing to love each other more and more.” Ai paused and looked at the sea as it turned; she slowly had a memory of her grandmother. “Lysile and Vale soon had tragedy, Lysile got very sick, and later died with her sickness. Vale never remarried for her was still too in love with Lysile. So he treated her gift, she left him. This was their daughter Vanity. Even with their hard times, Vanity and her father, Vale, lived a happy life, with memories of Lysile in their head.” Ai finally finished, the crab snapped its claws again moving around in her palm. “It’s a nice story right?” she asked it, the crab seemed to just scurry from her hand and to the ground. “I know, it’s a great story...” she whispered.

The sea was ever changing, shimmering and seamless to the sky. Ray always believed that the sea was like the well at the bottom of the world, and when you looked into it you felt you could see to the end of forever. As Ray gazed into the ever-changing waters, he noticed that the greenstone depth waters were teemed by small fish. Ray glanced further into the ocean and noticed steam moving steadily heavenward, its spindly, transparent fingers groping the air before an updraft of wind carried it away. The misty surface of the water reflected the world, as it was, beautiful and flawless. But at the same time, it coursed through the constant transitions it made in the cycle of a single day.

Ray picked up yet another rock, but this one was flat. It was the perfect rock to skip, one that would bounce endlessly into the mysterious ocean. Ray smirked as he tossed the rock in his palm a couple of times, and then threw into the water and watched it skip until he could not see it anymore. "Perfect!" he thought as went off to find yet anothing skipping stone. When he was searching around the beach, he had the slightest feeling that someone was watching him. He never liked the idea of other people watching him, let alone following him. He turned around and noticed a red-haird girl who seemed curious.

"What do you want?" he asked her in a demanding tone.
