Erethra Island. A tiny paradise; a gem of an island in the middle of the warm Carribean Sea. The island itself is only about two miles across, shaped like a crescent moon. There are a few inhabitants that live peaceful, happy lives in thier tropical haven. Most of them own boats instead of cars and live off of the land and sea around them.

But the islanders of Erethra have strange happenings, being cut off from the rest of the world. They seem to attract many odd storms and shipwrecks that crash on the coral reefs surrounding Erethra. The survivors of these shipwrecks don't usually leave the island; they find themselves pulled in as if by a strong tide.

The islanders know that the shipwrecked stay because Erethra is enchanted.

Magic permeates the land, sea, and sky; it makes the fruits ripe, the sky cloudless and blue, and the sea calm and crystalline. And those with magical powers, some that are not even human, feel drawn to the central point of Erethra. This is a place where those people can live in peace, accepted by humans.

But why? Why is Erethra so completely magical? The merpeople, of course.

The last real great city from another civilization, one underneath the waves, is built right in Crescent Moon Bay. The reefs shield the great citadel from onlookers, while underneath the merpeople thrive. They do come up to the shore, taking on a human form; and interact with the land creatures.

But trouble has stirred the seas in the peaceful Erethra society. Government adgents have been arriving at Erethra slowly and steadily ever scince a month ago, a mermaid swimming far off of the island's coast was caught in a fisheman's net and discovered. She was Princess Syrrin, the bold and adventurous heir to the merpeople throne. Since then, more and more merpeople are slowly disappearing; those who remain fear for thier species' survival.

To make matters worse, all the merpeople disappearing has been making Erethra sick. Slowly, the island is losing its natural beauty, and storms and rough seas are becoming more and more frequent. The islanders are uneasy, and want the government to leave, but they can do nothing, only watch uneasily.

So what will become of the merpeople? Of Erethra? will the world's last sanctuary of magic be destroyed forever? The choice is up to you. Grab a keyboard and type away' the fate of Erethra rests in you!

~~~~~яuℓєѕ~~~~~

1. I am Goddess.
I can change the rules if need be, although anyone can add plot twists, timeskip, or puppet NPCs or un-taken cannons if needed.

2. No autohitting, godmodding or cybering.
That means if you're fighting another character, attack and you're done. You can't say that they are hurt in any way. ex: John said, "Mary, I cut off your arm," No. Don't do it.

3. Be an active roleplayer.
I want to see at least one post a day. If you do not post for three days straight, without informing me that you will be away, I will send you a polite and automated PM with the lik attached. If no response, and you do not post for two more days after that, I will send you a very angry PM and multiple annoying PMs for you to subscribe. Two more days after that and still no more posts, your character will be lable inactive and any post you make after your account is inactive will be deleted immediately. PM me if you wanna post again. If you are playing a cannon character they will go back up for grabs.

4. This is a Literate OR Semi- Literate roleplay.
This means that you can either play here as a LITERATE roleplay:
*Proper grammar, punctuation, capitalization, etc.
*Pretty posts with pictures, names, and optional poems, statements or sayings.
*Posts are generally long, Around anywhere from 6 lines to... well, there really isn't a limit, but ginormous, half-page posts can get pretty tedious.
OR you can play as a SEMI-LITERATE roleplay:
*Proper grammar, punctuation, capitalization, etc. Minor texting language sometimes forgiven, but not all the time.
*Average looking posts with optional plain pictures with no titles or names or banners, nothing fancy, sometimes colored with bold or different colors for speech and thoughts.
*Posts generally short to medium-sized, 2-30 lines long. Can go over limit if needed.

5. Follow Gaia's and my rules at all times.
Don't swear. Occasionally forgiven, but not all the time. You can use @#&%^# instead.
Romance is encouraged, but keep it PG-16.
Be nice to fellow roleplayers, but constructive criticism about the prevention of Mary Sues and Gary Stus wil always be accepted in a nice way. You can rant if I want to, but only to a certain degree.

6. Try to make your posts presentable.
Use pictures and such to make your posts pretty, but this is optional. Pick a color for your posts ans stick to it; I don't wanna see to much black everywhere. Use Tektek Gradients to color your posts if you wish.

7. Spread the word.
I want a big happy thread family, so put a link in your sig to the thread if you can to advertise, send out random PMs to people, tell your friends, etc. Banners would be great if you can make them.

8. Stick to the rules printed on Skeletons.
Make a skeleton, and don't add anything extra to it unless you have my permission. Keep it reasonable with the powers, here; elements control is a pretty big power, whereas acid snot is not, so balance it out. Please use a picture, I like anime but photos are fine, too. PM all skeletons to me, titled 'Gibberish Rules' so I know you read the rules.

9. Have fun, be creative, and enjoy!
All violators of rule #9 will be prosecuted.

The mystery beneath the surface...

From the cliff on which she stood, the gently lapping sea far below, a crystalline clear tuquoise and cooly reftreshing, the late morning sun looked ablaze over the watery Carribean horizon. Aera Stormsea sighed and gazed out at the deep blue water with a burning passion; this was her favorite view in the whole of Erethra, besides maybe Crescent Moon Bay or the citadel built beneath its waves.

Aera looked out at the water thirty feet blow and smiled. It was about time she took a swim. Without warning, the beautiful blonde teen jumped off the cliff, arms above her head in a perfect dive.

The change was nearly instantaneous; it happened as soon as she hit the water. Aera's hair started to lengthen; it faded from blinde to a deep aqua blue, as did her eyes, turning from clud blue to the brightest, most piercing blue you've ever seen. But the real change was her legs. Well, they would be her legs, if they had not just melted into a shimmery blue mermaid's tail in a flash of soft gold light and a whirl of bubbles.

Aera grinned ear to ear and beat her powerful tail as she slid through the water with languid grace. "Beautiful day, today is," she said to a passing dolphin. It screeched and spun around, waving its flippers. Aera nodded, understanig perfetly what the dolphin had said. She laughed. "You, too? Oh, that's too funny!"

she swam along, around the island, saying hello to passing fish as she made her way towards Cresscent Moon Bay. The day was beautiful; it was almost as if nothing terrible had happened at all.

...is as beautiful and mysterious as ever.

Fish out of water...

Rayne wash up on shore of Crescent Moon Bay, his head hurting like crazy. He had somehow dragged himself on shore before passing out. Rayne sat up as sand clung to his wet clothes."Where am I? Who am I?" he asked as he felt cold metal cling to his skin. He took off his jacket revealing a bare chest and looked down to see a pair of dog tags that read 'Rayne Calamari' on them. "Well, that solves one question." he thought. "But where am I?" he asked aloud as he grabbed his head that was throbbing with pain and bleeding.

The mystery beneath the surface...

Aera, instead of swimming underneat the coral shelf apon reaching Crescent Moon Bay, decided to swim over to the shore. She knew a human or two that lived around there; perhaps she would say hello. Aera popped her head out of the warm water and looked around.

But the mermaid did not see any people on the beach that day, though she was pretty sure it was under surveillence by the government. Though Aera scoured the shore and the jungle-like vegitation behind it, she didn't see any fierce-looking men and women in suits; people Aera learned never to trust at all.

However, she did see a boy on the beach she hadn't noticed before. The boy stuumbled, and Aera frowned. Something might be wrong, she thought, and flicked her tail, sliding silently, deep underneath the waves. She swam along the reef, then along the ocean floor when it dissipated.

Aera gently popped out of the shallow water next to the boy and dragged herself onto the beach. She sat and looked at him inquisitively before saying, "Are you ok? You're bleeding pretty bad," Aera wated to help him, so she reached out a hand and touched the boy's wound. her hand glowed for a second, and when the light faded, Aera felt her strength ebb away as the boy's flesh slowly knitted itself together. aera sighed and stared to sweat. She slid back into the water and immediately felt better; her strength was returning bit by bit.

...is as beautiful and mysterious as ever.

Nyx Contancarea

A small blond female was sitting on a rock just before the sand of the beach started. Her legs were crossed and her arms were behind her propping her up. This young girl was Nyx. A mermaid that was very quiet and kind. Not known very well by others, only to her family. Nyx's eyes were closed and she was looking towards the sky. She slowly opened her eyes and stared out into the ocean. The ocean looks nice today, maybe I should go for a swim... Nyx thought while she slowly rose to her feet. The female was wearing grayish boots with black socks and black shorts with a robin egg blue long sleeved shirt. The shirt didn't go over her shoulders, it actually rested to the sides of them. A hair band was located on her head separating her long hair from her bangs. A dolphin necklace was hanging from her neck that was given to her by her cousin.

Nyx looked down at the silver necklace and held it between her index finger and thumb. Her blue eyes stared down at it for a few minutes, then she looked towards the ocean. The memory of her cousin being taken pained her. Nyx let out a soft sighed while she slowly walked towards the ocean.

Once Nyx stood just before the ocean, she looked around her. She saw no fishermen and this was a good thing. The girl inhaled deeply and jumped into the water. Right before hitting the water, her hair turned purple, her clothes disappeared. A purple bra came over the front of her and her legs joined together. They soon became covered in purple scales. Her ears transformed into fin like things and her eyes became purple and were pulled out longer. Jewelery was covering her arms and her purple scales shined wonderfully in the sun shine. Nyx sighed softly in the beautiful blue water as she swam forward. She was going very fast, but it was faster then human speed.

Nyx kept swimming forward and she heard something over head. Nyx went down closer to the ground trying not to be seen by what ever was making this noise. When Nyx looked up, she saw a boat go by and she cursed under her breath. I have to be careful not to be seen... Nyx thought while she looked a head of her and kept swimming.

The mystery beneath the surface...

Aera sat in he shallows slowly feeling better by the minute. She opened her mouth to ask if the boy was all right, when a foghorn sounded behind her. Her head whipped around, and Aera swore. A fisheman's boat was heading into the bay; it was prettiy big and gliding quickly towards the small dock that had been constructed by the government for thier probe ships.

"Uh... gotta go, bye!" Aera hurriedly said to the boy on the shore, wishing she could have gotten to know him better before being rushed away.

Aera dove quickly into the already shallow water, vanishing in a spray of salt water and a shimmer of her bright blue tail. She swam quickly anlong the sea floor, looking up at the boat just feet from her. Aera looked curiously up at it; the boat was large and seemed to be filled with lots of people. She was so busy staring up at the water vehicle that she didn't notice the fisherman's net until it descended apon her. The net quickly tangled itself with her body; the more Aera struggled, the more stuck she became.

The boat had stopped. Voices yelled above her on the boat and the net suddenly lurched upwards, slowly pulling the frantic mermaid up towards the surface. Aera looked around, scared, for any sign of life and called out to another mermaid swimming not too far away. "Help! Help, get me out of this net!" she called dsperately, her tail being lifted up over her head. She felt it break the surfave of the water. Bright lights flashed everywhere above the surface. Cameras.

...is as beautiful and mysterious as ever.

Fish out of water...

Rayne's eyes widened as he felt the warm light healing his wounds. He was speechless "Why is she helping me?" he thought to himself and then watched as she swam off. He heard he cry out and groaned as he pulled off his soaked shoes that would just weigh him down in the water and dove into the water to go rescue the girl who had helped him. He thought it would only be right to help her because she had helped him. As he broke the surface and sheilded his eyes from the flashes of the cameras as best as he could. He thought he recognized some of them as they said his name but he was too focused on rescuing the...mermaid? "She's a mermaid? well that somewhat explains thing". he thought as he quickly struggled with the next and freed her just before they could pull her out of the water. "hurry, Go!" he shouted at the girl. The men on the boat were asking what he was doing, and weren't too happy. Rayne watched as the girl swam off giving her some time to escape before he went and joined her.

As he swam quickly through the water he felt something happening. He could all of a sudden breath under water and he was swimming faster. He looked back and noticed he had a tail. "What's happening to me?" he thought as he tried to get to shore faster now.

[xxR a d i a -]

The mystery beneath the surface...

Aera tore at the ropes binding her as her tail became more and more exposed; it would only be a few seconds before she was out of the water and the fishermen saw her face. They probably wouldn't stop at anything to find her once Aera was seen.

And then that boy came; he was a merman, which Aera hadn't even realized before. She thanked him gratefully as she slid out of the net and into the water just before it broke the surface. But Aera looked up through a film of waves and saw angry men looking down at them; she didn't like the look of the harpoon gun one was holding. Aera gestured for the boy to follow before she hurriedly swam away; her aqua tail beating the water quickly.

Aera reached the end of Crescent Moon Bay and the very edge of the coral reef. She veered down suddenly, seemingly dissappearing with a flash of her tail. Her head popped up a moment later, and she caled to the boy to follow again, "Hey! You coming? That boat's going to be after you too, you know; we should probably get to the city," Aera called before vanishing onece more.

Ordinarily the sight that beholded her would have taken her breath away, but Aera had lived in the mermaid city of Ciceria all her life and the excitement had slowly worn off. She waited at the gate to the city, where a guard tipped his hat to her; she smiled, waiting for the boy to come.

Ciceria itself was breathtaking; it was a huge and sprawling metropolis that stretched the length of Crescent Moon Bay. Everything there was made from the sea, hewn out of the reef or carved from sea stone; the castle in the center was made from slabs of cemented sea floor, shells and corals and starfish coating it beautifully. Fish of every kind and sea turtles and dolphins roamed the streets everywhere, drifting in and out of thier homes in the surrounding reef. The whole place was a utopia where sea cretures and merpeople could live in harmony.

Aera smiled. She was home.

...is as beautiful and mysterious as ever.

[Yutaka_san]

On the island, there was a large hill overlooking the sea. And on that hill was a small hut. Not a really small hut. Just something big enough for someone to live inside. The door was closed, but there were strange lights coming from the windows. Plus the inside of it echoed with the muttering of a young man. This young man was pale from not being outside for a long time and he had black hair and blue eyes. All the while he kept muttering spells that made the fire in his fireplace change into different colors. Soon it turned green. He said to himself, "No! That's not right! I was supposed to cange it into blue!" He looked over the spell again and muttered some more. Next it turned yellow. "Ok, I think I mispronounced that one..." He suddenly felt a chill and closed the book. "Perhaps I'll need a rest from this? I've been using my powers all day just trying to do this!" He sat down on a chair by the fire and looked at the green flames. "I don't get it. Why can't I just get any better? I have to straighten my magic out if I want to help these people!"
