War in the Deep
Centuries ago, a mermaid and a merman feel in love and mated. This was not unusual, but the child was. For this child was different. This child was a true hybrid, having the powers of both it's parents. Growing up, the hybrid grew mad with power and nearly wiped out everyone and everything in the sea. Only by coming together did the merpeople defeat and slay the hybrid.
For the good of all, a counsel of both mermaids and mermen decided that their two peoples must remain separated. Love became forbidden.
Ever looked up how many cases of 'mysterious disappearances' there are in the world? You should. Those are the ones taken by the merpeople to replenish their numbers. The mers have not bred in centuries.
But as a body without a part is incomplete, so is a people. The mermen grew strong and ambitious, becoming great warriors. But having not the wise and gentle nature of the mermaid, they fought amongst themselves for territory and power.
The mermaids grew in beauty and magic, but without the strength and fortitude of the mermen they easy marks for the predators of the sea, both animal and human, until they have spent the past century struggling to survive.
And so the centuries passed, the old dying off and the young forgetting the agreements of the past. Now a band of warrior mermen have come to the crystal tropical waters along a string of islands rumored to be the home of a pod of mermaids, determined to either scare the females away and claim the territory or kill them and take it by force.
This is the first time in centuries that the two parts have come together again... And even the Ancients fear what shall occur...

So that is the history leading up to my rp. Did you read it? Hope so cause it's really important.
You can make either a mermaid, a merman or a human. Below will be hiders about the different roles:

Now for the part no one likes : THE RULES!
*dun, dun du-*
Crap, gotta get that fixed... anyway:
1. I am GM. What I say goes. Do not argue with me. You may present your side, but no arguing either with me or other people.
2. No bullying! I MEAN IT! This includes making fun of people's characters who being negative about people. You will get a reminder, then a warning, then you will be barred from the rp. I take bullying in all forms very seriously.
3. No OP characters. I put in pros and cons for both sides here. Use them.
4. Your character can have any kind of tail your imagination can come up with (within reason). Fish, squid, octopus, shark, snake... any sea creature. It can also be any color you want, just keep in mind that if it is something bright and neon then you might have a disadvantage as far as stealth.
5. Talk about fights/attacks before they happen and agree on what you want to happen. This will save people from being attacked too much or feeling like they are being targeted without a chance to input anything themselves.
6. Any sexual situations must go to PM.
7. I reserve the right to add more rules if need be.
