Gods Among Us

Always nerve-racking lol. I'm just glad that when I was reading the initial IC post, someone else posted too so I didn't have to be second :P

a human/merpersons' tale- a mystery being told

I was going to wait until they posted, or until one of you made a bio/assumed the role of the other main character. Can't really roleplay without roles that interact with one another lol. But I'm super down for the idea if you guys are and if not that's fine.

Gods Among Us

It had been a long day. Daciana was on her way home, walking as quickly as she could with her cane back to her cheap studio apartment on the outskirts of New York City. Well, it was relatively cheap, in comparison to the prices of the other apartments nearby and especially those that lay deeper inside the city limits. Still, $1500 was a lot of money and it didn't make itself, so Dacia had been out and about making her rounds, providing the locals and tourists alike with affordable.... err, prescriptions. She had taken the time to collect on a few debts as well, since she was currently in need of a few extra household items, and she would also have to figure something out in terms of dinner. Since she didn't have a car, Dacia was used to having to do a lot of walking. She was grateful for the pretty excellent physical shape that she was in for it (and also due to the fact that she worked out often, in case she ever needed to handle some 'business matters' or discrepancies), but it was still exhausting, and she definitely felt one hell of a migraine coming on.

By the time that Dacia had nearly reached her apartment, her head was pounding, and she knew that as soon as she got inside, she was going to administer herself a bit of her own medicine. These were the only thoughts that she usually had, really: thoughts of making money, thoughts of keeping herself housed and fed and clean, and thoughts of suffering/pain. She couldn't shake it. In fact, she even tried to physically shake her head back and forth, hoping that the spots in her vision would clear up this way. However, this only seemed to make matters worse. Dacia blinked hard, but the image before her did not dissipate, and she figured she must be hallucinating. Maybe she was dehydrated from being out in the sun all day. Whatever it was, it was concerning, because before her stood a large, stoic grey wolf.

A wolf? Alone on the streets of New York? Impossible. Daciana knew she was mentally ill, but surely she wasn't this crazy? But throughout all of these thoughts and attempts to grasp at a possible explanation, the wolf remained, standing tall but complacent, and making no effort to move toward her or harm her. Then, suddenly, the wolf made a high-pitched whining noise; was it a whimper? Dacia looked at the wolf with narrowed eyes, but as it continued to whine, she approached it cautiously. She had her cane, and a somewhat large knife in the back pocket of the black jean skirt she was wearing, but she didn't know if that would be enough to fend the wolf off were it to attack... As Dacia neared the beast, though, she noticed that it was bleeding, wounded deeply in its left side. Forgetting all thoughts of her own safety, she moved quickly to the creature's side and examined it. When she touched the grey fur, the animal made another sound, but did not move. Dacia met its crystal blue eyes and saw that the animal was afraid, but not aggressive.

When Dacia looked back to the wolf's side is when she became truly flabbergasted. For there where the deep gash and blood had once been remained nothing but perfectly intact, soft fur. There was no sign of the previous mark Dacia had seen, and to her amazement, the wolf gave her one last look and then seemingly disappeared into the background. Stumbling into her apartment, Dacia lit a candle, set up her rig, and took a few hits, making certain her blinds were all closed. Eventually, she passed out, perhaps due to shock, or because she had succumbed to the terrible headache that plagued her that afternoon.

Alright, well you two just let me know if one of you is willing to take on that role as well. It's your rp/idea, so I want it to go the way you want it to. Just keep me posted :P

a human/merpersons' tale- a mystery being told

Well did you want to create and be the human/mer-person that finds my character? Or did either of you want to be the one that finds her, working with the characters we already have established? Like your girl shopkeeper could find Kailani, or Alex the security guy can be the one who is actually the other mer-person and find her?

a human/merpersons' tale- a mystery being told

I like the security idea thing for your guys' characters meeting. And yes, I understand writer's block, I have been out of practice for many years. I figured Alex could see Kailani on the beach or something, if you want. I can definitely get my character to wash up on the shore at some point, injured, so that she could be rescued and relay information about the underwater royal family to her rescuer.

But would you guys want to play another character each as well maybe? Or at least fill in for side charrys. Because someone should be the guy that rescues her if that's the storyline you're wanting to go with vampiretwilight. I just didn't want to play both main characters. So if one of you wants to be Kailani's half-brother/sister, that could work for sure. Then I would be more than willing to play that character's royal mer-parent or something, who explains to them that they are an heir to the underwater throne.

Let me know what you guys think and we can make something happen.

a human/merpersons' tale- a mystery being told

After listening to her mother's morning ramblings and discussing her itinerary for the day (her mother was always wary of her as Kailani tended to get into some mischief while she was consulting with the palace advisors until evening), Kaia speedily left her underwater home and swam immediately toward the same spot that she had been the previous night; the beautiful shore of an even more beautiful, natural white-sand beach. Her mother would surely ground her for life if she caught her so close to the coast, especially in broad daylight, but she always felt that the risk was worth the reward.

As Kaia approached the ocean's shining surface, she slowly raised her head up out of the water, searching in every direction with her eyes first before fully allowing her face to be above the waves, being careful to make sure that there were not any humans close enough that they could see her. The only person she saw was a young man jogging swiftly across the sand, about a mile away from where she patiently waded, taking in the warmth of the sun and the beauty of the bright, blue, endless sky above. Off to the right and over the horizon, though, Kailani saw dark clouds forming, and she knew that come afternoon time it would likely be pouring rain.

However, because she is bipolar she is prone to extreme mood swings, and her love for the performing arts does not help to tone down the drama of these mood swings. Also, due to her nerdy nature, she can be seen as full of herself or arrogant, because she will not back down when she knows that she is right. 𝓗𝓲𝓼𝓽𝓸𝓻𝔂 ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Elaina was born to her father and mother on New Year's day, 1998, at around 2:15 a.m. in Moscow, Russia. Her privileged father constantly received handouts from Elaina's grandparents while he was growing up, and he wisely invested some of the cash that they gave him into a large and now highly successful company in the Motherland. Meanwhile, her mother inherited quite a large sum of money when her only remaining relative, a distant great aunt, passed away when Elaina's mother was just seventeen years old. However, her mother grew up an orphan and did not always have wealth, so she instilled more compassion and kindness in Elaina and her sister (who was unexpectedly conceived six years after Elaina) than her father ever did: he was typically far too busy at investors' meetings, or out gambling, to pay any attention to the lives of his wife and daughters. Elaina and her sister, Karina, never really got along well, and she considered her best friend Eliza to be more of a sister than Karina to her. Elaina and Eliza were bullied by a nasty girl named Katia throughout their high school years, often being ridiculed and labeled "lesbian freaks" for being so close with one another. Once Elaina had finished secondary school in Moscow, she enrolled in a prestigious university in nearby Ukraine. Unfortunately, in her second semester of college, she was assaulted walking back to the campus from a club after her friends had parted ways with her for the evening, and this took a huge toll on her mental health. Soon after, Elaina had to drop out of college due to her inability to handle the workload and overall stress, much to her mother's dismay, and her father's annoyance, and she no longer felt at home in her parents' Moscow mansion. She never told them about the incident that caused her academic disruption, because she knew that they likely wouldn't care or understand, and would simply label her a slut like they had done her younger sister in her teen years(before they shipped Karina off to boarding school). Because of this, Elaina decided to get as far away as she possibly could from all that she had known and been subjected to in her young adult life, and so she hitched a ride on a small private plane that belonged to a man she met in a tavern in Germany (while visiting Eliza in school) all the way to the United States of America. Elaina settled on California for her love of the beach and of course, Disneyland and the other theme parks in the area, and found a job working part-time in the library at a school for elite adolescents, similar to herself, she hoped. After working at the school for a semester, she was offered a position as a teacher's aide/assistant for a language arts class, due to her impeccable grammar skills in multiple languages, and her interest in art and performance history. Now she is just trying to find ways to cope and heal from her painful past, earn a living wage for herself(although her parents still send her a stipend of $1,000 a week), and decide what it is that she wants to do with the rest of her life. 𝓡𝓮𝓵𝓪𝓽𝓲𝓸𝓷𝓼𝓱𝓲𝓹𝓼 ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ 𝓕𝓪𝓶𝓲𝓵𝔂 Elaina comes from a family that consists of a brunette, green-eyed father, a blonde, blue eyed mother, and one younger sister, Karina Natasha Romanova, who has dyed jet black hair and bright blue eyes. Karina is currently 16. Her parents still live in Moscow, while her sister was shipped off to a girls only boarding school in Lithuania in hopes that it would provide her with an 'attitude adjustment'. She also has a few cousins on her mother's side who live in America. 𝓕𝓻𝓲𝓮𝓷𝓭𝓼 Her best friend is named Eliza(beth), and she is currently overseas at her own private, elite university in Germany. 𝓐𝓯𝓯𝓪𝓲𝓻𝓼 N/A ATM. She has had a few past romances/flings that consisted of fooling around for brief periods of time here and there, but there is no one substantial in her life right now.

She considers the men who assaulted her to be her enemies, but she is not currently seeking vengeance because she doesn't know who her attackers were.
