Leader of the infiltrating mermaids, either a warrior or a siren, this mermaid has avoided too-close contact with humans as much as possible, as they struggle to control (and possibly even conceal, at player’s option) their Stricken condition, which is either newly developed or worsening after a long time in relative control. Now in a city full of humans and under constant stress, their honor and self-control are at war with their hunger, and staying focused on the mission is proving more difficult than they anticipated - especially with so many of their mermaids fascinated by this strange, freewheeling human civilization.
Thread Expectation: three threads / fifteen comments per mingle
Check-In Expectation: threads exploring the strangeness of human society; threads dealing with being Stricken and its challenges.
Privileged Information: In an emergency situation, you could send a siren to the Deep Blue and have them sing for help from other Thalassian rebels. While this could gain you as many as a dozen extra mermaids, it would take them several hours to arrive, and would probably also be heard by Thalassian loyalists who would come looking for you - or send sea monsters after you at the Empress’ behest. You are aware that the water-dragon the Bando rebels brought you is hidden on the Cornu, and should be sunk to help the Thalassian rebels if that is practical, but that the dragon is not entirely controlled or trustworthy.
Outlook: You are disciplined but out of your depth by the wealth and confusing distractions of human society, and your constant growing hunger will almost inevitably result in cannibalism (although you are somewhat in denial, believing your self-control can hold out for longer than is true).
Goals: Recover the cargo; load it onto the ships the human navy is sinking; aid your fellow merfolk. While you respect your human comrades, and this city intrigues you, your people come first.
Skill:Line and Lash. You are a superlative combatant with whip, rope, chain, or net - whether those intended as weapons or scavenged from your surroundings. You are especially skilled at entangling opponents and dragging then into or out of the water - whatever most damages their mobility - or attacks which cause garroting, clotheslining, or strangulation. You do not lose this ability when berserking due to Stricken status, and it applies both in and out of the water.
