So, do we (most of us, anyways) agree with and like the underwater race idea?
Mrr... I think we should really begin to plot this out and everything. ^^ The first places to start would be the basic information about them.
So;
~Are they large like the Rade? Or smaller than the Masques?
~What should we call them?
~Can they simply breathe underwater ordo they havesome sort of... specail technique or... wet-suit thing-ama-jig?
~If they do breathe underwater; do they live inside buildings that have pumps for oxygen or do they just 'live' under the water?
~Are they fish-like? (Fins, gills, etc...)
~What's their general physical appearance? Humanoid? Talking dolphin?
Since the Rade were still around, it stands to reason that another intelligent but likely non humanoid race lives as well.
~I would say they could be about the same size, smallerish.
~I have noooo idea
~I would say they are indiginous to water
~They would need to have some sort of apparatus to allow for breathing underwater
~I would say vagely humanoidish, but not an exact humanoid. Perhaps like the creature from the black lagoonish looking, but not scary or monsterish. Or maybe scary and monsterish XD *snicker* Im sooo helpful.
I'd say scales or mucusy, gills, webbed appendages/fins.
~ smaller, I mean they have to travel through rivers and some lakes, maybe underground tunnels?
~ Again no idea... maybe everyone pick a name and then we vote?
~ Indiginous to water I say as well
~ I agree with the breathing apperatus. I mean then we can visit no? (if they are friendly that is)
~ partially humanoid. I say they are flowy like seaweed or a beata (siamese fighting fish). If they have gills then they wouldn't need the breathing devices... probably scaley and deffinately webbed appendages and fins.
but how do they communicate?
In my opinion I agree with Chae for the basics. And I think all of us want something smaller. So thats decided. I REALLY like Kata's idea about them resembling Beta's *Imagines the art*
~ Smaller than the Masques, I would say petite graceful creatures. no taller than arround 3 feet. I think that stat wise they should be based on children arround age nine. Really inventive and curious.
~What should we call them? I'll get back to you on that.
~Can they simply breath under water? Now I know I'm going against the consensus, but I think they should have gills and standard lungs, like Kevin Costner in Water World.
~If they do breathe underwater... I think they should live in maze networks of Coral, with chambers, all interconnected, however I think also that it should be an oxygen evironment inside. *wonders if she's contradicting herself*.
~Are they fish-like? I think they should be human like except for webbed hands, feet, and gills. maybe a very few resemble mer-people. *After thought* I really like the idea of them resembling Beta's. Maybe in just as wide a variety of colors as Beta's? *ponders*.
****************
A few more Ideas.
~ Would they be Vegetarian?
~ They probably wouldn't trust us at first *to explain why we hadn't seen them yet*
~ I kind of want them to be Nocturnal.
~ But yes eventually they should be friendly.
~ Special Abilities?
~ Technology?

Names - I agree we should vote, I have 3 idea's.
1) Marae - A play on the Latin word for Sea, "Mare"
2) Nereus - From the name for the Greek Sea God.
3) Lethans - From the Greek Underworld Water Nymph "Lethe".
It should really be set as a Poll though, so we can be sure that everyone gets a say.
