forgottentales_ooc | The Little Merform Meme!

Hey guys! Very pleased to see that our latest campaign’s been such a splash hit and ushered in a flood of amazing ideas for mer-forms, a tidal wave even–OKAY, OKAY, I’ll stop now!

Anyway, here’s a meme for you guys to display for how your characters are going to look in the upcoming campaign! Show off your designs for your mers-to-be, ooh and aw over others, maybe ask for inspiration if you’re still stuck! To keep things orderly (and help guide those who may want to participate), here's a form for you to use! Images are definitely allowed, especially if you have some awesome art to show off! Just make sure to credit artists and keep the pics to a reasonable size, or link if they’ll take up the whole page.

Character: Character and Essence
Mer Type: Are you going for a classic mer ala Disney, drawing inspiration from real marine species, mixing and matching features, playing with colors, tell us everything!
Outerwear: Everyone will be starting out with SOME clothing on their person, but this can be as simple, ornate, modest, or revealing as you’d like! Also tell us if you have any fancy jewelry or hair ornaments (or if you’re going full mermaid chic and having shellfish clamp onto your tail).
Extra Features: Does your character’s mer-form feature shark teeth, or venomous spines or tentacles? Electroreceptors for seeing things more clearly underwater? Do they have a bit of a harder time moving around for some reason, or are they super fast? Is there a new fishy instinct or two they’ll have to fight off, like going for shiny objects or feeding frenzies?
Looking For: Still undecided on a species, or a color scheme if you’re going Disney classic? Trying to figure out just how many fishy traits you should add on? Feel free to ask the for suggestions here!
Photos or Art: If you’re more of the visual type, feel free to show off references here!

Post away and have fun!

Character: Kotori Iida | Sweet Porridge Girl
Mer Type: Kotori will be half skipjack tuna by popular vote, a stripey and delicious tuna that's also the basis for katsuobushi- or bonito flakes- which can be used for dashi broth, one of the backbones of Japanese cuisine!
Outerwear: At the start Kotori will be wearing a simple, dark red bikini top, which she won't be TOO shy about unless ~~a crush swims by~~ someone points it out.
Extra Features: No outrageous features beyond a small bit of webbing between the first joints of her fingers, but tuna are like the Ferraris of the sea, so she might be pretty speedy once she gets the hang of her tail!
Looking For: Pretty satisfied at the moment, but if you guys think of any tuna-like traits that might be cool, feel free to let me know!
Photos or Art: Actually, I had this lovely piece commissioned from our own VG a couple days ago, and she finished it this morning! Isn't it gorgeous?
