Why Hello There.

Name: Lea Shaye
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Species: Mer
Loyalty: Defender


Mirror, Mirror.

Hair Color: Redish-brown. Just below shoulder length.
Eye Color: Dull green, can be seen as blue underwater.
Tail Color: It is dark blue at her waist but changes to a dark green-brown colour further down. The fins are a blue-green mix of colours.
Skin Color: Pale white due to living most of her childhood in the depths of Ingo.
Tattoos/Piercings/Scars: She has a long scar, jagged scar that runs from her left shoulder down her back to her right hip, just above her tail.
Basic Description: Lea is tall, thin and strong. Due to her streamlined body she is a fast swimmer and therefore relies heavily on her speed. Her large, striking eyes are the center point of her face and her bright red hair is easily recognizable in the shallower waters. In the depths of Ingo she is very well camouflaged due to her dark tail and her hair is not as prominent when there is not much light. She is, like all Mer, beautiful and a naturally talented singer who easily mastered the art of luring humans into the water.


Delving Deeper.

Personality: Lea is short tempered and arrogant. She is independent and prefers to be left to handle things on her own. She enjoys luring weak and unsuspecting humans into the water but, unlike most Defenders, she believes that humans should be left alive as long as they do not venture near the water - otherwise they are hers to kill. She detests the rebels and is disgusted by the thought of Human-Mer copulation. She believes that all Human-Mer half breeds should stay on land and never return to Ingo and is not afraid to use force to put this point across.
History: She was born in the depths of Ingo and raised there, hardly ever venturing to the surface. When she turned thirteen she started to journey to the surface every few days to try her hand at luring fishermen into the depths. She found she had a natural talent for the art and quickly came to enjoy it. She justified her actions by stating that the fishermen where destroying Ingo with their greed.

Delving Deeper.

Impulsive; James really doesn't think things though before acting. He his rash and ruled by emotion. It's a major flaw and he works on controlling himself up it really works. If he is angry he will fight and break things, if he is sad he will cry. Unlike most men he doesn't try and pull that tough guy act. James just does want he wants to and it rarely works out in his favour. He winds up getting hurt one way or another and is learning to live with that.

Outgoing; James is loud. He is talkative and actually never shuts up. He has a lot of opinions and has a normally unwanted remark for everything. When he wants he can have a way with words and be a really charming guy can more often then not get what he wants from people by saything what they want to hear.


History: Both James parent were a rather conservative pair of Mer's untill his father met a human woman drowning after the boat she was on crashed in sudden storm. He fell in love with the beautiful human and left James' mother she was outraged and wanted no part with James or his father. He wasn't seen her since he was one year old. He can't even recall what she looked like. He was raised by his step-mother and loved her and his half sister dispiute the difference between them. When his father was killed for having a family with a human James was crushed, even more so when his step-mom left. Being alone as a young teen he had to raise himself and his younger sister, it was hard at first but things worked out well enough.

It is naturally a light brunette and has grown down quite a ways past her shoulders. She often keeps her hair in a fishtail braid of down with nothing done to it.


Delving Deeper.

Personality:
Adventurous; curiosity might have killed the cat but the mermaid is doing just fine. Faylin likes to wander, she spends the majority for her free time roaming the depths alone. She will never cease to be amazed by the beauty of the ocean and by the creatures in it. Due to her adventurous nature Faylin is usually put to try anything and can be viewed as wild even though that isn't she intention.

Reserved; Faylin isn't cold or anti-social in anyway. She is just in her head most of the time lost in her own thoughts and musings. She is a wallflower; and hates being the center of attention. Small groups of people are better for her then large ones as she is usually quite around strangers because she usually feels as if she has nothing important to say.

Imaginative; she is very artsy and creative. Once you get to know her you will relies that she is infact quite eccentric and says the oddest things. Faylin loves art it's rare to see her not making somthing, a common thing for her is making jewelry out of smells and coral that she finds. Another upside to her creativity is that she is good at thinking up solutions to problems and avoid conflict.

Peaceful; Fay is very passive. She hates the idea of war and fighting. The little half mer rather take a beating then fight back and hurt some one. She doesn't even like to get in verbal arguments and will normally run (or swim) away from them. As you can imagine she is very loving and cares for every living creature. That doesn't mean she is always nice; Faylin has she bad days just like everyone but they are rare.

History: Born the daughter of a mer an a human Faylin has lived by the ocean her entire life. Her father was a Mer and her mother a human. She lived a rather adverage life for the majority of her childhood. Going between the sea and the shore. She is very close with her half brother James and grew up with him as her mother basically raise him to. The only really stand out event In her life would be when her father was killed after getting in a fight with Mer's that opposed his relationship with a human. When this tragic event occurred her mother overwhelmed with greif left Faylin with her brother and took of claiming that she couldn't be near the ocean anymore because it was to painful.

(@ladybug: Sure!

@Gene: You have a good form, but since your character is a human she has to have some sort of relation to the Mer. Like a half or step sibling, or a friend who's Mer or half Mer. So if you could change that it would be great. And you need a guy as well.

@Rainbow Veins: Your form needs more work and detail, and since your character is a human, she has to have some sort of relation to the Mer or a half Mer. Like a step or half sibling, or a friend who is Mer or half Mer. You need a guy as well.

@Aberdeen: Your form also needs more work. Ten lines is the absolute minimum for the personality. And you need a girl as well. )

Why Hello There.

Name: Sapphire Claire Bonadair
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Species: Mer
Loyalty: Defender


Mirror, Mirror.

Hair Color: Raven black
Eye Color: Dark grey, edging towards black
Tail Color: Around the waist it starts out gold then slowly melts away to red farther down,
Skin Color: Lightly tanned.
Tattoos/Piercings/Scars: Both of her ear lobes are pierced. On her right shoulder is a ribbon tattoo. She has several scars placed randomly.
Basic Description: Sapphire has what her mother always described as a 'family appearnce'. Her face is angluar and often can look rather intense when she focuses solely on one person. Her eyes are not wide and innocent, but rather small and give her an intimdating appearnce. She has a slim but muscled build, showing the several lighter scars all along her arms and back. While she does have a rather beautiful appearnce in a way. Her arms are slightly longer then should be but it only adds to the character that is Sapphire. Her build is built more for speed then anything else, resulting in a light form. She is not rib-skinny though, there is still muscle. Not much is colorful about her. The only way one might notice her is her tail. The soft golden color that edges to a daring red.


Delving Deeper.

Personality: Sapphire is simple in a way. She is most defintely rash in her actions. She doesn't care to think before she does something because acting on instinct and gut feeling has never once led her the wrong way. So she purely acts on instinct and most of the time won't even care about the consquences. That's just her. The way she sees it is that if she focuses on what happens there won't be time for her to focus on what needs to be done. Sapphire is a very dedicated and stubborn person. Once she she sets her mind to something it's there. It won't waver or leave, she'll get it done without a second thought. She is a very obident person, considering she respects you. If Sapphire doesn't respect you there is no chance she'll listen to you when you tell her what to do. She believes respect should be earned and not handed out. If you try hard enough you might keep away from her severe temper. It is there and it won't take much to set her off, but when she is mad she won't make terrible mistakes. If anything it clears her head and makes her that much more effective. But if she likes you chances are you won't get her temper going.
If you can get past her behavior at the beginning you'll probably stick around till the end. In truth she can be a fun-loving girl. She can be active and even crack a joke from time to time. It's just getting there that proves to be the problem.
History: Sapphire was born an only child to her mother and father. Like the rest of the Bonadair family she was given a ribbon tattoo on her right shoulder. Everything was simple for them until she hit the age of three, just old enough to begin comphrension of her surrondings. This was when her mother went missing, leaving the family confused and devastated. Different rumors circled between her father and herself but none proved to be true. Her mother never came back and they never found her. Even her father began sneaking away a lot, disspearing for days at a time. Six years later and her and her father had grown even farther apart. This was when she found out that he had a half-mer son with a human. His son was merely a year younger than Sapphire. Now they were even farther apart from each other. Without a second thought Sapphire let everyone know of her father's betrayl. He was chased away and she was left alone. From then on she was raised by whoever cared to help. But never once did she forget her half-brother or the reason why she fought with the Defenders.

Why Hello There.

Name: Cole Daniels Bonadair
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Species: Half-Mer
Loyalty:

Mirror, Mirror.

Hair Color: A very dark oak color. In darkness it looks black.
Eye Color: Dark grey
Tail Color: A dark cobalt blue
Skin Color: Tanned
Tattoos/Piercings/Scars: He has a ribbon tattoo on his right shoulder. A few scars line his arms.
Basic Description: Cole has the typical Bonadair face structure. Angular features with an intense look. Unlike most others he has a less intense face, making him easier to talk to. He has a thin build, once again for speed. Although he does contain more muscle. His legs are long as well as his arms. He stands pretty tall when on legs and has a long tail. In fact his build is much like his half-sister's, Sapphire. But with him he has the wider eyes. His hair is kept short, but in the occasion it isn't spike up it tends to fall lightly in front of his eyes. When Cole wants to be he can look very approachable, which is normal with him.


Delving Deeper.

Personality: Cole's thinking is acutally a little different from everyone else. He doesn't like the fighting, he figures everyone should just get over it and be friends. He's a half-mer right? So isn't he one of them! The only battles he cares to take care of his own, mainly the feud with Sapphire. The way he sees it is that his father did nothing wrong and she did everything wrong. He's mainly just confused about everything. Cole is a little slow in understanding what's going on. He just doesn't understand everything too quickly when not in the heat of the moment. He is quick on his feet. It doesn't take much to figure out a plan for him. He's much better at quick thinking, especially when adrenaline pumps through him.
While Cole is a good fighter he is also a big softie. He loves to be around people helping them through things. But only if they have an open mind towards a different situation then their own. He doesn't care to help those who see things only one way. He is a pretty sweet guy and is almost always there to lend a helping hand.
History: Cole was born to a mer and a human. Because his father didn't want to put him into too much danger he lived on land with his mother. But when his father came to visit he was able to go swim in the water with him. The three were very close to each other. No one taught him about the war raging, he was able to learn about it himself. And he wanted in, he wanted to defend his kinds right to share the waters with the mers. So he joined, and doing so learned of his sister. While swimming around one day he ran into Sapphire, there he accidentally told her everything. He isn't even sure what happened, mainly because he was hit upside the head with her tail and hit his head against a rock. After that day he never saw his father again, they thought horrible stories but never spoke them. Finally Cole joined the battles fully, deciding to give his life for what he believed in.

____________________________________________________________________________________

let's get to the
basics of you

The basics. That can mean a lot of thing in my complex life, but I guess I can simplify it for you. Well first, I'm a girl if you didn't figure that out yourself. I'm just throwing that piece of information out there because what I'm going to say next might throw you for a loop if I didn't. My full name is simply Shiloh Katherine Grey. Yeah, I know. Shiloh? What kind of person names their daughter Shiloh? Well, that's my parents for you; they're always thinking "outside the box." Honestly, they're not quite normal, but I love them nevertheless. Sometimes I wonder if they wanted a boy instead of a girl and got stuck with me. You may think that it's weird and only suit for boys, but I don't. On the contrary, I actually like my name. I mean, how many girl do you know that's named Shiloh? Now that I think about it, I'm probably the only one. My middle name, Katherine. Pretty, right? It's a complete contrast to my boyish first name. It's not like I picked it. I'm not exactly a girl who obsesses over her looks or figure. It's not like I completely don't care and let myself go. I just don't look into the mirror to fix my makeup every hour. Then again, I'm also not a girl who acts precisely like guys and dress like them too. I have manners and can be feminine, you know. I don't exactly like Katherine, yet I don't dislike it either. Am I making any sense? Then there's the last thing that completes my trio of mismatched names: Grey. It was originally my dad's surname. The origin of the name is from Australian, or at least that's what I think since my dad is a full-on Aussie, but it can be something else too. Unlike my father, I am not completely Australian. I'm actually only half. My other half comes from my mom who is American. To tell you the truth, I like my mom's maiden name, Ross, more than my current last name.
I obtain many, many nicknames in my life. But there are a few that really stick with me: Shi-Shi, Kat, and Mrs. Grey. Well here's what I have to say: I dislike them, a lot. Though I can't really do anything about what people call me, just like I couldn't do anything about what I would be named whenever I was born. I would prefer for everyone to simply call me Shiloh. It'll make my life a bit more easier.
Anyway, next on the needs-to-know of Shiloh. I was born on October 29th of the year nineteen ninety-four. If you did your math correctly, then you would figure out that I am eighteen years old. And yup, I was a autumn baby! The place of my birth was in Australia and, like most, in a hospital. Australia is actually a pretty big place and I spent most of my childhood there. So I grew up to be more of a Aussie than anything else.

the description of
you is interesting

Would you believe me if I told you that my mom and I could practically be twins? I'm being serious. We just look so much alike, if she was still a little younger that is. I swear, if you look at the pictures of her when she was still in high school, you'd think that it was me in those photos instead of her. First off, the only thing that's fair is my skin, which is a pale peach color. Every other physical characteristic of mine is... well quite the opposite. Both my hair and eyes are dark brown. Yeah, I know I'm a plain Jane. There isn't anything I can do about it. My hair is naturally wavy, but not frizzy--which saves me the trouble with a straightener after showers. It use to be really thick so I decided to add layers to it. Then there are my annoying bangs that cross over my eyes, but that can be fixed with a bobby pin. I have an average height: about five foot, five (5'5). Well, for girls anyways. Compared to most guys, I'm considered short. Anyways, on to my face. I wouldn't say that I'm ugly looking, but there's really nothing special. High cheekbones, big chocolate brown eyes, pointed nose, and rosy lips. Now, I haven't weighed myself in a few months so this might be different, but my weight is about a hundred twenty-five, give or take. I have a slim frame. I get most of my height from my legs, which are incredibly long. Running is no problem for me, but lifting weight... eh. I have absolutely no upper body strength, at all. My arms are like two decent-sized twigs.

do you actually
love someone?

Like I said before, my parents are not quite normal. Actually everybody in my family is a little whacky in the head (I still love them for it though). Lets start with my parents: my mom, Alana and my dad, Nolan. They are complete opposites to each other. It's not just their looks--even though that is a major part in their differences--both my parents' personalities are different too. My mom was the outgoing, bad girl while my dad was the shy, jock. Somehow with their differences, they're both still going strong after twelve years of marriage. Honestly, it's quite a cliché tale. But hey, who am I to judge? I'm probably never going to last that long with any guy I meet in the future. A trait that is shared between the two of them is the fact that their both still kids at heart. Though it may not look like it. They still act like they're teenagers even if they are middle aged! Okay, don't tell them I said that, but it's true. It can be really embarrassing at times.
So I am the second born out of four others. Being the middle child has been quite boring. I mean, I don't get as much attention as when I was younger nor do I get the satisfactory of being the first born. Though I do have to share my role as the middle child with another person too. The award for eldest goes to Cameron, my twenty year old brother. Cam is currently in collage at the moment, so I don't got to see my beloved older brother very much anymore. Though he would always visit during holidays if he's not with his long term girlfriend. Next is the third oldest: Ava, who is my thirteen year old sister. Right now, she is my least favorite sibling. My parents call it a "phase" that she's going through and I surely hope so since Ava is the most antisocial, distant person I know. Last but surely not least, my two year old brother, Lucas, who is the cutest kid ever, even though he doesn't quite know how to work his brain.


Let me get one thing off my chest first, I'm heterosexual. Or, to all of you people who don't know what that means, I'm straight. I like guys, not girls. No offense to any lesbians out there, but I don't swing that way. But I don't judge either. I'm pretty sure that my sister, Ava, likes girls so I have no problem with it. Anyways my love life. Well, to tell you the truth, I don't really have one. I mean, I've had a few boyfriends. A total of seven in all. Yeah, that's not very many. At least I'm not one of those girls who gets a new boy toy every week (I'll leave that job to the plastics). I don't really have a crush at the moment. I think that a few of the guys are good-looking, but just looks can't get you very far.

my personal
belongings

My "personal belongings." Can't say I have very much stuff, cause I really don't. Well not as much stuff as some of the kids at school that is. My parents just don't like to spoil me. Mostly because they have two other younger kids to worry about. What I do have is a kitten, Rayze. Yes, I am a cat person. Sue me. I just think their cute and cuddly! Anyways, I have a cell phone (who doesn't these days). It's an iPhone 4. I have the tendency to drop it. It's probably because I'm a klutz, but it never seems to break. What else do I have? Well, a computer, clothes, a beat up car. What else do I really need other than that?

____________________________________________________________________________________

Hi. My name is Ryder, and I am 19 years old.

ɴᴀᴍᴇ; "Ryder Owen Pierce. Got a problem?"
ɴɪᴄᴋɴᴀᴍᴇ(s); "Just Ryder."
ᴀɢᴇ; "Didn't I already tell you that? I don't like to repeat myself. I'm 19."
ʙɪʀᴛʜᴅᴀʏ; "March 9th."
ʜᴏᴍᴇᴛᴏᴡɴ; "Bridgeport."

ᴘᴇʀsᴏɴᴀʟɪᴛʏ; "Figure it out." Mmm, Ryder. A strange fellow to describe. The word that fits him; rebel. Just a pure-bred rebel, he rejects what people say. He is just a guy who is like all the other men who are crabby and mean. He is confident, sarcastic, and cocky. And maybe that guy who always comes to class unprepared, or stoned.
The kid doesn’t play sports, he doesn’t run, he doesn’t really do anything. He likes being alone, and causing trouble. Maybe even talking to people who have an interest in getting into trouble. People who he has interest in, well he just loves to talk. He loves to be funny, tell jokes.
Just on the outside he comes off as a powerful person, who has mental problems. But, inside he is well rounded, and knows a little bit of everything. From animals, to the human skeletons. He just doesn’t like showing his true personality, because he is just afraid. Yeah, yeah, we hear it a billion times, someone who is mean, evil and in the inside, he truly cares. Naw, naw, not at all. He doesn’t care, he just is cautious. Literally, he has lived a normal childhood. Nothing special about his past. He just picked up from his old friends, got into some trouble, and this is where we are. There is a difference between cautious and scared, cautious is when you look out for things that could hurt you, scared is when you are just scared. If he sees a conflict start to rise, well he’ll be there on the side lines rooting for whoever looks like they’re going to win.
He does pay attention to women, although he rarely dates anyone. He can have some lady friends, but he won’t treat them like a lady. He will treat them like another guy, have some fun. Flirt sometimes, but rarely. When he does flirt, it isn’t with words, more like gestures. A pat on the butt, stuff like that.
ʜɪsᴛᴏʀʏ; Ryder's life has been anything but normal. He has lived a life with his mother, Sarah, who has recently remarried another human. It's as if she's trying to forget what she did with that Mer, but she can't. The only person Ryder trusts is his younger step-sister, Shiloh. He can tell her anything, and she'll understand. That is, anything except his lineage.
ғᴀᴍɪʟʏ; His mother [ the human ] has just married a young human man. So now I live with my mother, step-father, and younger step-sister, Shiloh.
ᴘᴇᴛ(s); "Eh."

ʜᴀɪʀ ᴄᴏʟᴏʀ; "It's brown. You blind?"
ᴇʏᴇ ᴄᴏʟᴏʀ; "Again, brown."
ʜᴇɪɢʜᴛ; "6'2"
ᴡᴇɪɢʜᴛ; "144 lbs of muscle."
ʙᴏᴅʏ ᴍᴏᴅɪғɪᴄᴀᴛɪᴏɴs; "One tattoo on my upper arm."
ᴄʟᴏᴛʜɪɴɢ sᴛʏʟᴇ; "Is that any of your business?" Ryder is more of a retro-chic kinda guy. He likes the dark-denim jeans, and light T-shirts, with shades and combat boots.

ᴄʀᴜsʜ; "No one."
ʙᴏʏғʀɪᴇɴᴅ/ɢɪʀʟғʀɪᴇɴᴅ; "I'm single, baby."
ᴇx(ᴇs); "There's a few."
ʀᴇʟᴀᴛɪᴏɴsʜɪᴘ sᴛᴀᴛᴜs; "Single. You deaf too?"
ᴡʜᴀᴛ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ɪɴ sᴏᴍᴇᴏɴᴇ; "I want a bad-*ss girl. Someone who isn't afraid to take risks, or get into a little bit of trouble. A chick who knows how to live."

ʟɪᴋᴇs; "Music // Chicks // Drinking // Partying // Smoking on occasion // Hot Rods // Racing // The Color Red // Shades // The Beach"
ᴅɪsʟɪᴋᴇs; "Plastics // Fakes // Backstabbers // Bright Colors"
ғᴇᴀʀ(s); "Drowning, man."
sᴇᴄʀᴇᴛ(s); "I tell everyone my mom died from a heart attack when I was two, but the truth is that she died during child-birth. MY child-birth."

ᴏᴛʜᴇʀ; "Nope. We done here?"
