And anything you wanna share

Ooo I love that u want to learn more :D oki so:

The mers

All of the mers in this au are real animals so their lower halves will always be the colour(s) the real animal is.

Dream + sapnap -

Species: blue ring octopuses.

Size: D is on the larger end of the species at ~16cm (arms included) whereas S is average for the species at ~12cm.

Behaviour: D is very friendly and happy to be handled, he also tends to try and escape to make new friends. S isn't so friendly, he's bitten multiple staff members amd has a note on his file that says 'experienced handlers only'. He will also try to escape but to cause havoc instead of be friendly.

Additional info:

They are a mated pair of colony mers that were rescued from a tidepool tangled in trash and fishing wire, Sapnap's arm needed to be amputated unfortunately from the restricted blood flow but Dream got away fairly unscathed only losing a few tentacles that later grew back.

They are venomous, but not as severe as the real blue ring. It only leaves the bitten area numb for a few hours.

George -

Species: thresher shark

Size: ~15 feet long

Behaviour: very timid upon arrival to the sanctuary, he was kept in a solitary tank for a few weeks/months as he was still healing when he was transferred, much more open and playful after healing, transferring to a mixed mer tank, starting therapy and finding some friends he can be safe with. Still sometimes protective of his back.

Additional info:

He was a victim of the shark fin trade, he was caught in a fishing net and he lost his dorsal fin to the trade before he could escape. He was found on a beach in Indonesia and emergency lifted to a mer clinic in the capital of Jakarta. His best friends are Sam and Larray.

Sam -

Species: nurse shark

Size: 10 feet, on the larger end of this species

Behaviour: he's very gentle and kind, does his best to help his fellow mers. Only snapped at a worker once and he felt incredibly bad about it.

Additional info -

Sam was rescued from another facility who treated their mers horribly. Sam was found in a tiny indoor tank with 4 other mers, the tank had been infested with algae which caused an infection in his eyes. He was rendered blind from the infection, corneas scarred and clouded. He can see light but no discernable shapes, he recently received a sea lion called fran who was trained to help him around like a guide dog. His best friends are George and Larray.

Larray -

Species: common bottlenose dolphin

Size: 9 feet

Behaviour: nervous and shy when first transferred, he'd been neglected a bullied by his pod in the wild, so he has some heavy trauma associated with other dolphins. He become much more playful and friendly after therapy and befriending Sam and George, he now calls them his pod.

Additional info:

He can't be released due to his trauma with other dolphins, he's a social creature who relies on his pod for safety. Without one he's a sitting duck.

Bbh - (still developing his character)

Species: zebra seahorse

Size: 7cm tall

Behaviour: easy to get along with, smart with jokes, amazing foster parent too.

Additional info:

Bbh was found as a small child struggling against the current, he'd somehow become detached from the coral reef he was living on. He was presented to multiple foster mers but none of them accepted him, after multiple rejections Bad needed to be hand fostered. This makes it very unlikely for mers to be released due to reduced awareness of humans so it's an absolute last resort. He was fostered by Skeppy, a volunteer foster.

The humans

Technoblade -

Job: mer psychologist

Appearance:

6'2 with pink mid- back length hair that is tied into a bun for work. He has a round face with tired but perceptive eyes framed with square, thin wire glasses. He dresses professional constantly and keeps in shape but not overly gym bro.

Additional info:

His interest in mers started when he was a child, around 6, when a beluga mer hissed at him for walking too close. He then went on to get his masters in mer psychology and he's playing with the idea of a doctorate in mer ethology (the study of behaviour). If you were to ask him why he chose psychology he would tell you "the best way to understand a mer is to know how their brains work". He becomes George's therapist after his intern work lands him the job.

Jordan - (a friend's oc)

Job: Small mers handler

Appearance:

Shes 5'10, mixed, has 3b curly hair, Sleeper build- she works out but you couldn't tell under her uniform.

Glasses, sometimes wears a beanie that's lined with satin to no damage their hair hehe

Additional info:

Jordans job is to take care of the small mers, such as the colony mers by taking them to medical, feeding them, spot cleaning the tanks, administering medication tho those prescribed it and much more. She loves her job and has been offered promotions previously but she turned them down for more time with the mers.

Skeppy -

Job: volunteer fosterer

Appearance:

5'8 with short black hair that he keeps gelled and styled. For work he wears a volunteer uniform which is really just a t-shirt with 'volunteer foster' embroidered on the front.

Additional info: he gets pizza from one specific pizza place near the sanctuary for every lunch break.

I have decided I will probably stop doing descriptions, instead I may do little commentary, I guess? I did it before however I was leaving claw marks in the ground gripping onto pretending I wasn’t. I’ll do descriptions if I can do good ones though. I can’t this time sadly I know very few things, as always

I have to thank Minecraft, the game is good but the creators are better I would watch them play almost anything(Gem please upload your next dredge vod please please please please) Sam is silly and also in charge of a prison from a server I try to block out that I watched. I do miss Techno though, rip. Nothing I have said is at all relevant to who is more of an ethogirl, I’m sure you are all so incredibly happy

1. warden sam who built the prison, was friends with dream from the very beginning, member of badlands

2. sam nook; self explanatory

3. the sam boomer just met in the swamp library (seems colder and more analytical)

4. and the sam boomer met at the portal.

mhm! sorry, i speedran this one, i just love the funny little morally questionable creeper man /lh
