DO NOT ANNOUNCE ON THE INFO POST THAT YOU ARE THE SPY.
Trained by the Akuryu in illusions, but never swearing to their ways, you are a strange, withdrawn ascetic whose practice of illusion magic blurs the line between the real and imaginary for both you and those around you. Vital to the secrecy of this mission, you have many secrets…
...Such as the fact that you’re a mermaid in disguise, who answers to the tyrannical Empress of the Deeps. Make no mistake, this secretive mermaid is a heartless, treacherous villain, bent on confusion and mayhem - like delivering the wrong shipments to the wrong crews.
Thread Expectation: three threads / fifteen comments per mingle
Check-In Expectation: Threads causing chaos between factions; threads where your altered perceptions get you in trouble; threads where you knowingly interact with another mermaid.
Privileged Information: That you’re a mermaid, obviously. You are along on this mission because your illusions can keep your disguises convincing, hide your accents, and silence explosions - but you were placed in En Zhenming a decade ago at the command of your Dread Empress in Thalassia. You hide how vulnerable your illusions make you, but the fact that you tend to take everything literally sometimes trips up your ability to convincingly mimic speech - you make people say some very odd things at times.
Outlook: Your mixture of mermaid shapeshifting magic and Akuryu illusions truly has clouded your mind. While you can appear as you like, you also tend to accept things you see and hear at face value, extremely literally. This makes you appear mad to most humans and most mermaids.
Goals: Your mission is to prevent any human nation from achieving naval supremacy. Paramo’s navy is superior to En Zhenming’s, so you do want the Xunhuo mission to succeed - but you want it to be as messy as possible and prevent a clean victory. If you learn of the presence or activity of the Rebel mermaids, thwarting and exposing them will become your top priority.
Skill:Shifting Echoes. You have perfect auditory illusions. Whether or not you can see your target, if you’re within earshot, you can enact both auditory and visual illusions. You can silence noises, up to noises of cannon, gunfire, or explosions; can perfectly mimic speech; or alter the words people seem to say in real time. However, while you are doing this, you can neither see nor hear anything save the illusions your produce. You may use visual illusions and Siren Song simultaneously, but while using Siren Song, the only sound you may alter with auditory illusions is the Song itself. (You start this Jaunt with Mermaid Icon Transformation, Illusionary Magic, and Siren Song II, but to keep them post-Jaunt, you must acquire proofs for them normally; they do not count as Plot Role Skills for you.)
