You know how it goes! Please don't post unless your name is in the title, but feel free to read along!

Awesome! I'll pop my character sheet in in a bit :)

take your time!

Ok here we go!

Name: Sage

Gender: Male

Age: 20 years (aging works the same as humans)

Appearance: Messy black hair that falls over his eyes (he uses it to kinda hide behind), golden amber eyes, Rather short (5'3'') in human form but close to eight feet with his tail since that is longer than his torso, very tan skin since he lives outside and often has to venture closer to the surface to find food, lots of scars but the most obvious is one down his left cheek, Very slim and light (About 160 pounds since food is a bit scarce), Although he's slim he's still muscular (more refined than bulky), gives off an air of power and/or menace, has a low voice that is quiet and scratchy but great for singing since he's still a siren, tail is long and slim with fine fins, scales are a deep black with lighter sandy-golden color for camoflauge, has fangs and claws when he choses, his eyes can change to have thinner pupils when angry

Personality: Very mistrusting because of his backstory, would generally rather be alone than with other merpeople, he comes across as cold/rude/uncaring, he's very blunt and a bit crude, he's very stubborn and an extremely good fighter, when fighting he just jumps in without thinking, very hot-headed with a bad temper, tries not to get too attached to anyone, but once he forms a relationship he is very loyal and protective, he has no qualms about killing anyone/anything

Weaknesses: Hot-headedness (he often gets hurt or in trouble because of it), he's very untrusting so he doesn't like to accept help, he gets flashbacks (mostly from his father, who he doesn't get along with) from his past which affects him greatly in a very negative way

Strengths: Hunting, fighting, very skilled in sneaking around, knows the ocean territory well so he's great at hiding, very quick and agile, very strong

Other: He is a deep water merperson, so he's very sensitive to both light and heat, but can handle cold quite well. He can see well in murky water and the dark. He normally stays well under the water and away from boats, nets, etc. His tail changes to legs once dried out, though he's never tried it out or wanted to leave the depths where he's comfortable.

(His tail looks a lot like this, not a typical mermaid tail with huge fins)

Also, do we want to start with them actually in the boat catching him or should he be caught and they buy him at an auction or something?

oohh an auction would be cool! I'll get something up in the morning when i find the time sheet wise

Sounds good, we can do that!
