(Brooketail: I'm afraid not. And I say this with no offense meant at all, but I do not believe you are literate enough for this roleplay. I looked through your posts and they are nowhere near close to the level of Roleplay I am requiring here. I am not judging, I am just saying I am looking for high semi literate to literate roleplayers. )

Why Hello There.

{ Name } Cody Lamar Taylor.
{ Gender } Seriously? Are you blind? I'm a guy...
{ Age } Eighteen. I'm on my own. Young, wild, and free.
{ Species } No, I'm a freaking unicorn. { human }
{ Loyalty }


Mirror, Mirror.

{ Hair Color } My hair is a cut dirty sand brown. Its flicks up near my temple, sometimes giving it a slick appearance.
{ Eye Color } My eye color is blue. Kind of light, but deep - ish. Flecks of gold filter through here and there.
{ Tail Color } Eh...
{ Skin Color } I'm a surfer dude, so you automatically mark me as tan, please.
{ Tattoos/Piercings/Scars } Neither. I'd regret getting a tattoo. But I do have a scar on my right arm starting near my elbow and going up my arm. Its not very noticeable but if you get at the right angle you can see it quite well.
{ Basic Description } Slim, but built - a typically six pack - I was the 'jock' at the high school I attended to. I'm the "tall, dark, and handsome" type. I have big hands, not huge, but bigger, just slightly, than the average joe. I wear a size eleven and a half in mens, giving me big hands, and average feet. I have straight teeth and a nice smile. A tan line on my wrist from a silly band I wear on my left wrist is about all the markings I have on me.

{ Personality } I'm a charmer. I'm a bad influence, yes, but its rather boring when you have to do whatever you are told to do. I like having fun, don't we all? Flirtatious and just set on having fun, I kind of prefer the fast lane in life. I tend to act like a player and mess around with you, but if I truly do like you, I wouldn't choose any other. A bit protective, though I will hardly admit it, I can't stand bullying or any of that crap. I admire people who stand up for what they believe in, as many people now these days tend to play fake, copying off of others and hoping that it will work. Me and surprises just don't work out.
I dislike when people say, "You know, hate is a strong word!" Well, der! So is love, and people use that as though it were a rag doll. 'I love eating there', or 'I love doing that!' Well, you get what I mean.
I love giving people a reason to believe in themselves or look forward to another day.
{ History } I fell for this girl, okay? She was perfect. Almost to perfect. Pretty bright hazel eyes, gorgeous dark auburn hair, slightly pale compared to other mers. She opened my eyes to a whole different world. She took me places I wouldn't have dreamed of looking for and she told me stories, that brought out the child that I had forgotten. Holding her hand, eating ice cream, walking on the beach. She turned me into a truer person. She taught me many things I won't forget. The first time I kissed her, she pulled away. She said it was forbidden. 'Love between us is impossible. It's just... not there.' And then, one day, she never showed up. Never said anything. No goodbye, no hug, no tears... I guess it was better that way. I would have never let her go.

{ Sexual Orientation } Eh... straight.
{ Crush } Nope.
{ Relationship Status } Still open.
{ Other }

Why Hello There.

{ Name } My name is Surayya Tali Maleeha but everyone calls me Suri. My most affectionate call me Tali. Unlike my name, I am not Arabic. My mother liked the pleasant speech of Arabia and was set on learning the language... Though I'm not especially fond of people who say my whole name, I don't mind if they give me a nickname from it.
{ Gender } I'm hoping you are visually impaired to not see that I am a girl...
{ Age } I have turned sixteen not to long ago. Though many people think I am several years younger, I am not. Later on in life, I'll take that as a complement, but right now I wish they would not.
{ Species } I am half mer.
{ Loyalty }


Mirror, Mirror.

{ Hair Color } My hair is a dirty blonde, mostly blonde though with natural dark highlights, though in the water it turns a rich light golden brown.
{ Eye Color } When I am not in water it turns a frosty grey-ish/white with touches of light blue. I am complimented on the detail, but underwater it turns a deep rich purple that matches with my tail.
{ Tail Color } My tail is an unusual pale glittery silver with touches of violet that look like small fumes of smoke near the tip of my tail.
{ Skin Color } I am a dark smooth almond tan everywhere.
{ Tattoos/Piercings/Scars } I have a belly button peircing and both of my ears are pierced. My upper left ear has a gold earring, similar to pirates... But no tatoos. I would hate to mark myself with something permanent.
{ Basic Description } Surayya has a thin face, once with a nose to big for her face, but now she has grown and her face has caught up with the rest of her features. Her eyelashes are naturally dark, bringing her eyes out even more, but on land she still puts on make up and what not. Her lips are a light scarlet, thin but full. She has freckles, but they blend in with her skin quite well. Carefully keeping her teeth white and straight is one of the things she deems important. She's very slender, but not stick figure thin. A tad bit smaller then most people her age, but she has long legs thanks to her being part mer.

{ Personality } What can I say? I'm about the same as every girl, but just as individually unique. I don't always express my opinions, but when I do its more of a laid back opinion. If always told everyone how I felt, there would be many people who would hate me. I can never admit that I am wrong. Even if I am, I'll try to cover it up so it seems as though I am right.
I can't imagine people looking at me and saying to each other, 'I want my girl to be like her!' but not a 'Oh, crap. Look what the wind brought here...' Okay, you get the idea. Drama queens bore the crap out of me. I mean seriously, we have that stuff too, but we keep it to ourselves and don't bawl it the world. People who talk behind your back are just... dumb. I'm trust worthy. At least to some extent.
Maybe people are just stupid but when I talk sarcasticly, I do not mean it! *Cough* Sometimes *Cough*
I don't usually happen to look to the bright side on dark occasions. Although I'm friendly, I can hold a grudge for several weeks, or as long as I'm mad at the specific person.
Whether or not I realize this, I build walls - metaphorically - not to keep people out, but to see who can climb over them.
I'm very picky. With the food I eat, the way I sleep, the way the door is when I sleep, and I could go on and on but I'll spare you.
I grow attached quickly. When I fall for a guy, Its like a rock falling out of the sky. Hard.
{ History } Surayya remembers her mother used to sing to her when she would sleep. Rocked to sleep she would linger, her eyes closing sleepily before her mother ended, putting her into a light sleep. {w.i.p.}
{ Sexual Orientation } No hesitation. Straight.
{ Crush } I have no love interest at the moment, but that doesn't mean that I'm not open...
{ Relationship Status } I thought I would have made it clear a moment ago...
{ Other }I love dancing and singing. Sometimes I wish my life was a musical...
I love the ocean, collecting all the sea stars and sea glass I can find. That said, I have quite the collection.

Why Hello There.

Name:"My full name is Hollie Olivia Soul Clare Guerrier. Yes, it is quite the mouthful and no, I do not like it when people use my full name, so don't try it, as your liable to get smacked. Anyways, my full name is a mix of the many different cultures of my family, my father being a mix of Italian and French bloods, while my mother belonged to the Irish and Greeks. I have quite the large family outside of me being an only child filled with many doting aunts and uncles and older cousins, but let's save that for another time, shall we? Anyways, my last name is French and means 'Warrior'. What I love about my family is I know all of the languages of which I have the blood, including a few extras."|Hollie Olivia Soul Clare Guerrier
Gender:"I am highly offended you couldn't tell by my devilishly good looks that I am of the female population! How would you like it if I called you a man when you were a girl?"|Female
Age:"I am eighteen. Just kidding. I'm only seventeen."|Seventeen.
Species:"Umm, about that. I belong to two species. My father is a Mer, and my mother a Human."|Half-Mer
Loyalty:


Mirror, Mirror.

Hair Color:"An awesome shade of red, if I do say so myself!"|This is Hollie's favorite attribute about herself. Her hair is a bright, beautiful red. Many different shades of scarlet blend together, mixed in with hints of gold and other fall-red colors blend together to form a deep, rich color. Normally, Hollie's hair has a slight curl to it, falling in soft, loose curls, that falls a bit past her mid-back. Normally, her hair falls to the right side, flipping over her eyes in layers, but her hair is even on all sides.
Eye Color: "A stunning blue, with golden flecks."A deep aquamarine blue with tiny golden flecks and ringed by long, thick, black lashes. They are wide and almost exotic looking, and stand out in a startlingly beautiful contrast to her fiery hair. Most people will tell you this is their favorite thing about her besides her hair.
Tail Color:"My tail is quite interesting..."| It's quite unusual for a Mer to have a tail color that of which Hollie has. Or so she's been told. Unlike some of the bright and beautiful tails of some Merl, Hollie's tail is a deep shadowy black. Each scale is a glimmering shadow that reflects light. Even more unusual, is how her tail is built. Unlike the strength that some Mer's tails have, Hollie's tail is built more for speed and is well muscled, which makes it all the more beautiful with the black scales.
Skin Color: "Ermm...Ivory or so I'm told|Hollie's skin tone is a soft, creamy ivory that makes her eyes and hair pop. Sprinkled with soft golden freckles, mainly across her face, it gives her just the right tone to seem almost innocent.
Tattoos/Piercings/Scars:"You do realize my mother would kill me if I had a tattoo, right?"| Hollie's skin is unmarred by ink, unlike most people. If you count regular pen ink as a tattoo than Hollie has many, as she's often writing on herself, but otherwise no.
Basic Description: "Erm..I guess you could say general."|Hollie has a heart-shaped face, with high cheekbones and a button nose sprinkled with golden freckles. With her large eyes and fiery red hair, and ivory skin, she is quite pretty. Full lips that fit her face and bring it all together. She has slim scarlet eyebrows and a slight scar in her left eyebrow. Hollie is of a small build, standing at only at 5"6 in human form, weighing an average of 105lbs. She's quite tiny, but just the right height for her weight. Long legs make her a great runner, and when in school, she is quite good at track and cross-country, volleyball and soccer, and not to mention ballet, which gives her her almost feral, cat-like grace that attracts many. She has long-fingered, delicate hands which she often uses when she's being dramatic, eccentric or simply talking. Dare is thin, but not wiry, and pretty much all muscle from every sport she does in school and out of school.


Delving Deeper.

Personality:|Competitive;;
Holly is quite the girl to have a competition with. Hardly ever will she back down from a challenge and she loves to play sports. During school and outside of swimming, she is a star volleyball and soccer team that got first in their region. Holly was one of the star players an often came home with bruises and trophies that proved her worth. She is fiercely in love with soccer, ballet, and volleyball and is often doing one of the three when she has the time.

Charming;;
Hollie, or Dare as most everyone calls her, is likely one of the most charming people you will ever meet. She speaks like an adult and is often convincing people she was doing the right thing, even if she wasn't exactly following the rules. With her looks, most guys think she's extremely charming but she'll often put them down until they leave her alone. She prefers not to have guys hanging all over her.

Adventurous;;
Like most of the people Hollie tends to hang out with, she's adventurous and daring. You can often find her going to the extremes if someone dared her to do something, and once she broke a bone following a dare all the way through, so she was quickly given the nickname 'Dare' and it stuck. Often, she's always the first to try something new and will see it through till she's finished.

Temperamental;;
As may have been believing, Hollie isn't perfect. Like everyone, she has her flaws. Her's would be her temper. One minute she can be find, but as soon as someone is trying to out-do her, she quickly gets riled up. Most consider this a weakness, but Hollie uses it to her advantage in fights.

Clever;;
Hollie always has a clever comment up her sleeve to throw you off guard. She can easily strike up na conversation with people and will just to see if they meet her expectations. Yes, Hollie has expectations for people and she often tests you with what she knows to what you know, so always be prepared with her.

Intelligent;;
If you want to carry on a complicated, and amusing conversation, Hollie is the one for you. She usually knows exactly what she's talking about, and if she doesn't. she'll make something up to make you laugh, and can laugh at herself if she has to. When she's not busy training, she will often be looking things up out of boredom. She can quickly and easily remember things she's read and most people think she's crazy smart, but she isn't a genius. She's actually more of a troublemaker.

A fighter;;
Most people don't think this 5'6"little girl can fight. But boy, are they dead wrong. Hollie's mum was an ex-marine weapon specialist and taught her daughter how to fight since she was old enough to hold a butter-knive. Ask Hollie a question about a weapon, and she's sure to have some sort of information on it and how to use it, that's how much she was trained. Not only does she know what pretty much any weapon can do, she can use them to. Ahh, the advantages of having an ex-marine weapon specialist for a mother!

Argumentative;;
If you were to ask anyone of Hollie's friends for one word to describe her, they would give you two. Argumentative, and stubborn. Never one to back down, Hollie often gets herself into trouble for arguing and fighting. She's extremely stubborn and won't ever back down from a fight. She likes to tell people if they've started a fight with her, "You started it. Now, do you really want me to end it?" Most people back off at that.

Outgoing;;
Hollie is extraordinarily outgoing. She's makes frineds fast and easily, if she likes the person enough, and will often be busy doing something or another with someone. If you need someone to do something with, Hollie would be the perfect candidate for it.
History:Hollie's history is...complicated. So, I'll start from the very beginning. Hollie's mom, Aurora, was a gorgeous young woman with an extremely brigh future ahead if her. When she was at her expensive boarding school in collage, in Britan, she met a handsome young man. After two and a half years of dating and an engagement, Aurora found out Blake had cheated on her. Devastated, she confronted him and broke off the engagement. In an attempt to fully rid herself of her past, she joined the marines. She was trained as a weapon specialist and became extremely talanted in guns, knives and pretty much any weapon. She was able to assemble them and disassemble them as easily as writing. Then, she met Blaine.

It was a stormy night and she wasn't on call, instead she was staying alone in a beautiful little cabin on a rocky cliff, when the singing began. Totally raptured, she went out in the pouring rain and met Blaine.

She was quickly captured by his handsomeness and totally terrified of what he was. Blaine was unable to kill her, as he had fallen in love with the strong-willed, blue-eyed red-head. Instead he let her return home, but the two continued to meet secretly. When Aurora was called back to her line of proffession, she left Blaine back in the States, but soon learned she was pregnant.

Quickly she put her job on hold and moved back to London so her child could grow up in a somewhat normal childhood, away from the Mer, as Blaine had explained how dangerous their love was. So, she raised her beautiful baby girl without the help of a man, and the two were quite happy by themselves.

Twice Hollie's mom was called back to work, in and around America and finally the two decided that they should just move so she could be closer to her work. Hollie had just tuned seventeen, and all her life her mother had been training her how to fight. Not that it meant anything. Or so she thought.

Aurora finally decided that it was time for Hollie to meet her father, so she moved back to the cabin on the cliffs. Turns out, Blaine had sung for Aurora every night, and after seventeen years, she heard it once again, and Hollie met her father for the first time. And learned about what she really was. At first, she was terrified, but after a few lessons, she was swimming almost as well as Blaine. Then, the two girls went home.

After that day, Hollie's dad was never seen nor heard from again. Outside of her...abilities, Hollie lives the normal life of a teenage girl. She does soccer and volleyball, and no one knows of her abilities. Her mother on the other hand, went hysterical about Blaine's going. Of course, she couldn't report a missing Mer to the police, so she did the next best thing, and forbade Hollie from the dangers of the ocean.

Being the rebellious child she is, Hollie refused to do as her mother asks and sneaks to swim with the Mer as often as possible, in hopes to find her father. Just recently, she met Miles, and the two have become very close.

Why Hello There.

Name:"The name's Mile's Daniel Fayde. Just call me Miles. Don't try and come up with a 'cute' nickname for me. Especially Mi. I will probably smack you if you call me that."|Miles Daniel Fayde
Gender:"I'm sure I'd make a stunning female sweetheart, but I must say as far as I'm concerned, I make a much better male."|Male
Age:"Seventeen, love. I'm quite proud of it to. If I were human, like some of my half-mer friends, I would be a year past the 'driving' age. From what I've heard and seen though, I'd always prefer my tail over a 'car'."|Seventeen.
Species:"I am quite proud to be fully Mer. I love my human-mer friends, but I think I'd rather be fully Mer all the time. It's be cool and all to walk, but...swimming's better in my opinion."|Full Mer.
Loyalty:"Most people consider me a traitor. But have you met humans? Their actually quite interesting! Ahh well. I think I just like the idea of being a rebel. It just sounds...well...rebellious!"|Rebels

Mirror, Mirror.

Hair Color:"Quite a stunning dull brown if I do say so!"|Miles hair is a dark brown shade mixed with natural golden highlights and different varying shades of brown. He keeps it at a somewhat typical length and usually flips it to the left.
Eye Color: "Kind of hazel with a really cool orange part!"|Miles eyes are an astonishingly bright green, with simple amber flecks that really stand out with his hair. His pupil is ringed with an roguish shade of orange, and the deep, olive green of his eyes set it off and make it seem like a dancing fire.
Tail Color:"Green?"|Miles tail is also quiet unique. The dark green scales start at his waist and seem just like a scalier, greener extension. As you go lower down and his tail starts to taper to a point and flippers, the pigment gets darker, to an almost olive black, that helps him blend with the seaweed flooring. Oddly enough, his tail is built for speed and strength, like most full-blood Mer's making him quite the powerful swimmer
Skin Color:"Uhh...golden tan?"|Miles skin is kind of unique. During winter, his normally golden skin tone fades a bit giving him a sort of pale color. Normally, his skin is a deep golden tan that you would associate with most beach bums. The golden-tan brings out the natural highlights in his hair.
Tattoos/Piercings/Scars:"No. We don't have piercing salons and tattoo artists down here! Well...I did half-mer offer to pierce my ears once. Obviously, I declined. Piercings and tattoos aren't really 'up my alley' as they say.|Nope.
Basic Description:[size=85]"Uhh...Hot? Or so I've been told! c;"|Miles is quite handsome. Built quite muscular, the seventeen year old has an athletic torso and arms, ripped with muscle from swimming all the time. He looks thin, but muscular and his tail is a deep green and longish, plus quite strong. Tan skin off sets his amber-green-and-orange eyes which are fringed with long black lashes. Unlike some males, his eyebrows aren't heavy, but they are a dark brown that matches his sun-streaked hair. Miles also manages to look lean with his thin build, which can be an advantage when fighting. Most underestimate him for his size until they actually try to fight him in which the proceed to get their butt [or is it tail?] kicked. Most Mer's that meet him noe him for his brilliant smile with straight white teeth and his spamming eyes that always seem to be brimming with mischief.
[/size]

Delving Deeper.

Personality:Cocky;;
Oh boy, never try and get Miles in trouble. Your likely to be publically humiliated by Mile's snide comments. Miles always has a smart-butt comment at hand, and is always extremely confident about everything he says and does, and very very rarely will you get an apology out of h
Awesome Battle Strategist;;
Ahh yes...battle. Put Miles on a fighting field, and he'll kick butt. But put him in a strategy room for the battle, and your extremely likely to win. He's clever with his plans and thinks everything through precisely before doing anything stupid. He's probably one of the best leaders for fighting.
Strong-willed;;
Don't try to tell Miles what to do. Seriously. He's been taking care of himself since he was eight and ran away from his orphanage and survived on his own for a while before finding Hollie. He's quite capable of caring for himself and knowing how to defend himself. If your trying to get him to do something, ask politely. If you order it, your liable to get whacked to the ground.
Sarcastic;;
Sarcasm. The best use in battle. And boy, you'd better believe Miles knows how to use it. He has a sharp-tongue and will often insult you if you've tried to insult him first. He's not perfect, he can't always come up with the perfect response, but most of the time he's level-headed when he says something sarcastic. You can hardly ever see him get angry unless you've really provoked him.
Know-it-all;;
It's not that Miles is a know-it-all-jerk, but he does seem to know ALOT of stuff. You can ask him a question and he's most likely to know the answer, and give you a long and detailed description even if you've only asked, wanting only a two-word response. Again, he doesn't know everything though, so don't expect him to.
Sweet;;
If there was one thing that any girl would tell you about Miles, it would be he is amazingly sweet. He loves making people feel cherished about themselves and loved, and he prefers not to see someone in pain unless they need to be. Now, like everyone, he has his days were he's a totall butt and will snap at everything little thing. But hey, he's human! Right? Or, well...part human.
Protective/Leader;;
Miles is a natural born leader and protector. He can instantly take command of a situation and cause chaos to cease, which makes him a favored guy amongst friends. Knowing, most of the time, the right thing to say or do, he can get himself and others out of a sticky situation quickly.
History:"Not your average fairytale."| Miles history isn't your average Joe story, especially since he's Mer. His parents were different. They fought and argued constantly, ever since Miles was a baby. It probably had something to do with their complete different points of view on humans. His mother, Rain, was set in the old ways of using humans only as pawns and for fun and games, while his father, Jed fought that humans were more than that.

One night, after a particularly nasty fight, Rain fled their cove in a rage of fury after she and Jed had said some unforgivable things and she had refused to come back. She was gone three full days, by the time Jed decided to search for her. But by then, it was to late. They found the remains of Rain after getting hit by a boat and caught in the propellers.

Jeb was devastated, and blamed himself. He went home, a whole new perspective on humans, refusing to see any good in them. He raised Miles to hate humans, turning the five-year-old into a Mer-weapon, by the time he was fourteen. Then, Miles met a girl. A human girl who's name was Quinn. His view was completely changed on humans when he started talking to her. They became extremely close, but Miles had to keep her a secret and away from his father.

But nothing stays hidden for long. When his father found out, he was furious. He absolutely forbade Miles from meeting the girl again, but Miles, after two-years of keeping Quinn a secret, Miles had fallen in love. So, his father took matters into his own hands.

So for the first time in two-years, Quinn wasn't at their regular meeting place. Miles was confused at first. Then he heard the news along the beach. Quinn was found, dead. In a furious rage, he swam home to his father and accused him. Turns out it was his father who had planned it. Miles was upset he said the worst things he could think of to his father, then left, never to see him again.

He hates pretty much any Mer who hates humans, as of what happened to Quinn. Of course, he doesn't befriend every human he sees, but he doesn't kill them either. Rather, he prefers to leave them be, but fight for their cause. Just recently, he met Hollie, and promised to help her find her father.
