This Looking For RP topic is marked as closed, meaning it is no longer seeking new players.

Merpeople have been around for a long time, but they have just recently been discovered by humankind. In a small group of people the first thought was to test these new subjects.
Ludwig Freud, has inherited a bunch of money from his father. He has set up a lab to test the merpeople to their limits, capturing them from the ocean and taking them back to his lab on the coast. He isn't the nicest to them, but he treats his fellow scientists with respect (or so he says).
Lusca, an eel merperson, lives in a small underwater city. He enjoys his time there. He gathered food for his family. They didn't know much of the humans above and so didn't know to fear them. One day when he was out, he ran into a human boat. They captured him rather quickly. Now he is on his way to the lab with several other new subjects.
The lab crew awaits with excitement for their first subjects.

Rules and Info
You can have more than one character, in fact I encourage that.
I'm only looking for 2-3 people since that's all I can really deal with.
I'm an amateur writer but please write in 2 sentences to paragraphs. No one liners.
No OP characters.
Most merpeople don't have powers but some have special magic that grants them one power. If you're part eel, electric shock does not count as a power.

How to Enter
Post down below whether your chracters are scientists or a merpeople.
Tell a quick backstory on how they got captured or how they were hired at the lab.
And that's it.

Thanks for reading.
Magic 40%
Magic is rare. Some of the players might have it. There may be sages or other magical figures that could be sought out for tutelage.
Technology 60%
Near future, perhaps cloning and genetic manipulation
Combat 40%
Unrest may be part of the setting, but any scenes that happen to involve combat may be summarized.

Details: Freeform, adjustable length posts, long-term RP partner preferred.

I'm interested in the idea my main character would be a merperson that is seahorse like and because of such, she can camouflage. I could also do a scientist as well.
Abigail Welsh (played by Kotomi657)

How about Abigail? Preston could play as a doctor if I need two people, and Abigail can be a merperson in a way
Here is her info for this scenario!

Abigail's mother was a scientist. So she grew up around the many experiments that took place around the more people. One night, Abigail was curiously wondering around her mother's lab when she accidently broke a serum! The serum , somehow, made her begin to feel weird. She couldn't breath anymore??
Hurrying to her mother, she tried to explain what was happening hit couldn't get the words out. Before long she passed out. When she woke up, she was in the truck being taken away from her home. The young girl was worried and scared, atleast she could breath..that's when she noticed she was in a tub of water. Was it the water that was helping her?? Abigail didn't understand. After overhearing that she would be used for testing she freaked out.
Once she gained the chance, she escaped and landed herself into the ocean.
Years have passed and now she roams there. She still seems humen but swims efficiently and can only breath when submerged in water.
(Power) She can walk on land for alittle while, maybe an hour or so before she must be I'm the water again.
Sherry (played by elinny)

I'm interested in this as a scientist. Merpeople are intriguing, I'm sure Sherry will have lots of questions she wants answered by these... sea people.

Sherry comes from a long line of researchers and scholars. Every generation tries to beat their predecessors in scientific prowess. Sherry is not an exception. She places the importance of discovery and invention far higher than the average person. When it comes to knowledge, there are no restrictions. For her, morals is a trivial thing. She worked for the government, and also those that worked against them. She saw no real difference between the two.

When the opportunity arose to study a new species, Sherry applied to the lab. She was likely hired due to her long background in the science field.

-Btw, do merpeople have legs on land? Or are they always tailed, just trying to get a mental picture.

Merpeople almost always have tails. Would you rather rp this as a small group or one on one?

I'm sorry I didn't make this clear in the post but are you interested in this as a group or one on one? I'm fine either way.

Either is fine with me! But I would prefer 1x1 because I have strange hours

Cam is a merperson she was born in the warm waters of the Caribbean sea one day while sunbathing on her favorite rock on a deserted island she got captured even though she used to be kind and soft-hearted she has grown cruel and aggressive because of being in an enclosure and being tested on all she wants is to get back home to her family and younger brothers. She can camouflage her whole body including hair and tail but she prefers a dark red coloring on her tail and black in her hair her eyes are also full black and she growls at all the scientist that comes close and has been known to try and attack them. she is very temperamental and even if she can talk she mostly just cusses at the scientist or sings to herself when she is bored.
