[quote=@Emma] Would love to hear more about this! EDIT:: btw that video was absolutely perfect! lol ------------------------------------------------ I also love how y'all are knowledgeable about the Waterworld movie and cannon lore. This will be a Waterworld-[b]esque[/b] RP, so somethings will not be included, for instance [i]gasoline[/i] is not a thing in this world, as drilling for crude oil is basically impossible. Things like guns/bullets are also incredibly rare, because of what it takes to make and use them. Mariner kind though not realistic, are going to be a thing because a little fantasy in an RP is always fun. I will also be using elements from the anime [i]gargantua the verdurous planet[/i]. Keep the ideas and suggestions flowing, I love seeing them, and they are helping me put the OOC together. [/quote] All right. So the mariners, or whatever we're gonna call them, I was thinking would be more like partially aquatic mammals similar to polar bears, sea otters or (if we want to go all the way) seals. They can't breathe underwater, but can hold their breath for a long time thanks to their diving adapted lungs. They can also close their ears and nostrils at will to avoid water getting in (Mariner ears might be abnormally small and they use scarves and similar headwear to hide them). They have more body fat and incredibly thick skin to regulate their inner temperatures. Mariner feet have webs between the toes (and might be longer, broader and flatter than human feet, forcing them to wear big shoes similar to those found in Kingdom Hearts and other Square games). Their fingers are however normal, allowing them to grab and throw objects without trouble (and are very good at throwing underwater) I Haven't planned anything regarding Mariner culture and society (if they even have them), but I think they'd consider "mutant" to be an offensive slur. ------------------------------------------------ Well, there are still plenty of fuel options, ethanol, vegetable oil, that kind of stuff. We could also have "Sparkies", who have (re-)mastered electricity instead of combustion. Also, what sort of anime elements did you have in mind? The Mariners do have aquatically adapted ears, so it would be easy to explain kemonomimi direction.
