07/31/2025  Mermaid weaknesses Physical Weaknesses: Dehydration: Being primarily aquatic, mermaids are vulnerable to drying out on land. Extended exposure to sunlight can cause them to dehydrate and potentially harm their health. Fire: As aquatic creatures, mermaids are not well-suited to environments with fire, and prolonged exposure can be detrimental. Other Weaknesses: Magic: Many myths portray mermaids as susceptible to magical influences, which can be used to control or harm them.  Sonar: Mermaids are often depicted with hearing similar to dolphins, making them vulnerable to the effects of intense or harmful sounds, including artificial sonar.   General Vulnerabilities: Land: Some myths portray mermaids as unable to survive indefinitely on land, requiring frequent immersion in water to stay healthy.  Conventional Weapons: While some myths may imbue mermaids with magical abilities, they are also often depicted as vulnerable to conventional weapons if struck in vulnerable areas, like the heart.  09: PM 0 Comments  (Add Comment)  | 0 Kudos

07/29/2025  Selkies the seal folk This is just a point to explain Selkies which are sometimes describes as mermaids but not. Selkies are mythological creatures that can shapeshift between seal and human forms by removing or putting on their seal skin. They feature prominently in the oral traditions and mythology of various cultures, especially those of Celtic and Norse origin. The term "selkie" derives from the Scots word for "seal", and is also spelled as silkies, sylkies, or selchies. Selkies are sometimes referred to as selkie folk (Scots: selkie fowk), meaning "seal folk".[a] Selkies are mainly associated with the Northern Isles of Scotland, where they are said to live as seals in the sea but shed their skin to become human on land. Selkies have a dual nature: they can be friendly and helpful to humans, but they can also be dangerous and vengeful. Selkies are often depicted as attractive and seductive in human form, and many stories involve selkies having romantic or sexual relationships with humans, sometimes resulting in children. Selkies can also be coerced or tricked into marrying humans, usually by someone who steals and hides their seal skin, preventing them from returning to the sea. Such marriages are often unhappy, as the selkie always longs for the sea and may eventually escape if they find their skin.[1] Selkies have counterparts in other cultures. They are sometimes confused with other seal-like creatures, such as the mermaids or the finfolk. Selkies have inspired many works of art, literature, music, and film. Terminology[edit] The Scots language word selkie is diminutive for selch which strictly speaking means 'grey seal' (Halichoerus grypus). Alternate spellings for the diminutive include: selky, seilkie, sejlki, silkie, silkey, saelkie, and sylkie.[2] The term selkie according to Alan Bruford should be treated as meaning any seal with or without the implication of transformation into human form.[3] W. Traill Dennison insisted selkie was the correct term to be applied to these shapeshifters, to be distinguished from the merfolk, and that Samuel Hibbert committed an error in referring to them as mermen and mermaids.[4] However, when other Norse cultures are examined, Icelandic writers also refer to the seal-wives as merfolk (marmennlar).[5] There also seems to be some conflation between the selkie and finfolk. This confounding only existed in Shetland, claimed Dennison, and that in Orkney the selkie are distinguished from the finfolk, and the selkies' abode undersea is not "Finfolk-a-heem";[6] this notion, although seconded by Ernest Marwick,[7] has been challenged by Bruford.[8] There is further confusion with the Norse concept of the Finns as shapeshifters,[8] Finns (synonymous with finfolk[9]) being the Shetland dialect name for dwellers of the sea who could remove their seal-skin and transform into humans according to one native correspondent.[b][11] Gaelic terms In Gaelic stories, specific terms for selkies are rarely used. They are seldom differentiated from mermaids. They are most commonly referred to as maighdeann-mhara in Scottish Gaelic, maighdean mhara in Irish, and moidyn varrey in Manx[12] ('maiden of the sea' i.e. mermaids) and clearly have the seal-like attributes of selkies.[13] The only term that specifically refers to a selkie but which is only rarely encountered is maighdeann-ròin, or 'seal maiden'.[14] Scottish legend[edit] Many of the folk-tales on selkie folk have been collected from the Northern Isles (Orkney and Shetland).[15] In Orkney lore, selkie is said to denote various seals of greater size than the grey seal; only these large seals are credited with the ability to shapeshift into humans, and are called "selkie folk". The type of large seals that might have been seen on the islands include the Greenland seal (also known as the Harp Seal) and the crested seal (also known as the hooded seal).[16] Something similar is stated in Shetland tradition, that the mermen and mermaids prefer to assume the shape of larger seals, referred to as Haaf-fish.[17] 05: PM 1 Comments  (Add Comment)  | 0 Kudos

07/29/2025  Starter(for a Male Character) Mermaid Christine , after waking up in an underwater cave swam out and to the underwater passage that she loved so much. She wondered if her swimmer had gotten to the water yet. She had only seen him once, but had wanted to see him again. Christne had stayed out of sight just to watch him swim, and let her imagination do the rest. It was safer to live in fantasies because he might be married or in a relationship although she couldn’t tell and he always came out here alone. Chrisitne was expectant as she made her way through the passage and surface although stayed out of sight. She spotted him on the shore, and he hadn’t even entered the water yet. She watched him as he stripped , not really self conscious like most humans she knew and dived in. How she wished to swim up to him and rub her tail against his legs. Christine watched him swim.She could feel her tail swish underneath the water, but otherwise didn’t move from her hiding place. There are some humans that could make her surface and he was surely one of those. 05: PM 0 Comments  (Add Comment)  | 0 Kudos

07/29/2025  Caught  Christine got up from her coral bed in the mercastle and swam out of her room and out the door. She couldn’t tell how early it was ,but she was awake and she wanted to start hunting for seashells early.   She swam for a while and then surfaced and spotted land up ahead.Christine submerged and swam up closer till she could see a beach . It seemed to be deserted. Perfect, she thought. She resumed swimming up toward the sand , but didn’t go completely out of the water.   Right at the water’s edge she started searching the sand also digging in the sand to find some perfect shells. Even though the sea floor might have the best Christine had found several on an empty beach before.   So intent was Christine searching for shells that she didn't realize she wasn’t alone until it was too late. She felt a net falling on her and looked up into the leering face of a fisherman. He started pulling on the net to pull her out of the water. Christine flailed around and struggled, but just became more entangled as he pulled her out of the water.   As Christine was pulled completely free of the water her fin changed into a pair of legs which left her completely defenseless. She started to scream for all she was worth being dragged on the sand within the net. She continued to fight to get free until the fisherman struck her so hard Christine felt a sharp pain and then everything went black. 05: PM 0 Comments  (Add Comment)  | 0 Kudos

07/29/2025  Christine becoming human starter he day started out normal for Christine. She woke up in her coral bed after dreaming mermaid dreams and headed out of the mercastle. She wondered where everyone had gone but still stayed there hoping someone would return.   She was joined soon by her seal pup Lily and they both went down to the seafloor to dig for seashells. Christine wanted to look for sunken ships to find shinies, but knew Lily was still skittish around that. Suddenly Lily squealed and swam off frightened by something.  “Lily!” Christine cried out forgetting everything else for the moment and swam off in the direction she thought Liy had gone, sending out her thoughts but getting no response.   Then Christine paused. Something was very wrong here. She could feel it. There was some presence in the water that Lily had sensed before she did. However, it was too late as Christine felt a sharp pain. It felt like her tail had been ripped apart.   Suddenly she could no longer breathe. She writhed trying to get to the surface, but it seemed as she could no longer swim. What was happening to her?   Luckily she hadn’t realized that the swirling currents had washed her up on a beach although even with the water running over where her tail used to be were her human legs. Christine had no time to wonder what had happened.She had passed out. 05: PM 0 Comments  (Add Comment)  | 0 Kudos

07/29/2025  Mermaid abilities  Freedom of Breath The one thing all mermaids have in common is freedom of breath. No matter where they appear in storytelling, mermaids do not need to worry about holding their breath whether they are deep below the sea or on dry land. They might be able to breathe water and air, have some kind of special gills, or simply not need to breathe at all. Sometimes this ability comes from a spell, but it is usually an inherent ability all mermaids are simply born with. Humans who have transformed into mermaids through various means will often immediately acquire this powerful ability alongside their transformation, sometimes even before their body changes to the typical mermaid form. Speech with Animals Mermaids are often portrayed in vast and beautiful undersea kingdoms, teeming with all kinds of aquatic life. Many of these regal mermaids are capable of speaking to all the sea life around them. Dolphins, fish, seahorses (often of giant size), crabs, and even sharks are all common companions to mermaids. Some depictions of this ability allow direct speech between a mermaid and her animal friends with full conversational ability just as if they were all speaking the same language. Other versions of the power act more like an empathetic link which binds mermaids to the thoughts and feelings around them such that they are capable of “speaking for the sea”.  In other tales, mermaids may lack the ability to understand their animal companions but are capable of issuing either spoken or telepathic commands to control as a regular person might control a dog or a horse. Transformation In many stories, mermaids are capable of finding their way onto dry land through various methods. One of the primary ways mermaids meet and interact with populations of humans (outside of sailors, of course) is by transforming into a human form. Some mermaids have this ability innately, while others interact with alchemical potions or magical spells. These transformations can be brief or long-lasting and they may be done at-will or require preparation, depending on the story. Hypnosis & Enchantments Mermaids are among the most beautiful creatures in folklore and mythology. There are countless stories of men at sea who have fallen madly in love with mermaids, even without any spells, charms, or supernatural abilities. Mermaids don’t simply rely on their natural charisma, grace, and beauty, however. Mermaids are capable of easily controlling the minds of men through various methods. Most commonly, this is done through singing. Mermaids (much like sirens) are often capable of casting their voice many leagues away to lure in hapless sailors, travelers, or merchants who might come seeking out their source. Often, this alluring song is harmless and mermaids simply perform the action for their own amusement. As with any person, though, some mermaids are more malevolent and the men caught in their song are ultimately doomed. .Hydrokinesis Hydrokinesis is the supernatural ability to control water. Many mermaids are capable of this in various different forms. For example, a mermaid might be able to create a current of water around herself to propel herself faster than she would otherwise be able to swim. Alternatively, water can be manipulated into waves or whirlpools, sometimes even to a massive size. Mermaids may even be able to move large amounts of water freely without any restraints or even conjure water from nothing. Stormcalling Along with controlling water, some powerful mermaids are even capable of controlling the forces of nature as a whole. Mermaids can be capable of calling up maelstroms at sea and sinking a vessel or even an entire fleet with their powers. On the other hand, mermaids are also capable of seeing a ship through the most intense of storms by calming the seas around the ship they are protecting. For some mermaids, this effect is permanent and they may be followed by a perpetual storm which rages around them wherever they go – or they may act as a permanent bastion away from dangerous weather. 05: PM 0 Comments  (Add Comment)  | 0 Kudos
