WHAT ARE MEKO-MAKOS?
originally believed to be pure mermaids, these creatures are actually part-robot, part-mermaid. created by a currently unknown corperation, these mechanical creatures were sent out into the wild with all natural tail fibers from other fish-like creatures, with the intent to protect natural animals from habitat distruction. however, a lot of these creatures became self-aware, and both started to reproduce by creating smaller versions of themselves from wrecked ships with those they loved, and create tribes to better protect themselves after escaping their primary goal. They communicate with eachother through sounds that seem similar to broken cars.
The gills that allow them to breathe underwater are surprisingly placed on their arms, and injury to these gills seems to only make two more replace the original, those who have been through a lot of battles seem to have more gills than skin on their arms. While they can live well enough without their heart containers placed on their chest, they seem to have all their personality and self-awareness contained in their heart-container, so a meko without their heart container would be seen to others as a zombie of sorts. One eye on their body, with a pupil much smaller than the other, called the "tracking eye" is unable to see like a human eye, and instead is in a constant state of infrared sight, able to track creatures from heat signatures.
Orbfish
To assist with protection and their primary function, Mekos were sent out into the ocean with small companions made completely of metal and mechanic portions called orbfish. Along with the mekos, these creatures also became self-aware, and became somewhat of pets for the mekos. Mekos rarely abandon their orbfish, and those who do are seen as untrustworthy and dangerous, these mekos are often shunned by tribes of other mekos, and sometimes from their own tribes.
