Am I finally doing mermaid stuff on mermay?! Yes!

Ocean AU where our esteemed(?) reporters investigate cases of rare merfolk to help with research and conservation efforts. Newcomer Meryl gets the scoop of a lifetime after befriending a critically endangered merman named Vash, who had been raised in captivity by a marine biologist named Rem, and is very friendly with humans.

Bonus:

...Meryl still can’t drive.

EDIT: Extra bonus burrito Vash

Lazy Day

Finally finished this thing, omg! My love for the mermaid au has yet to be sated, but this was a good start. Like last time, inspired by @alnee‘s design for Vash because it is gorgeous. Wolfwood’s scales are normally black, but in the sun you can see the iridescence, hence the green appearance.

Gunsmoke With Fish Tails AU:

"Gunsmoke" is now an ocean planet almost entirely covered in water after a catastrophic rise in sea level over 100 years ago (caused by Knives). Only a few scattered islands remain on the surface.

The primary local lifeforms are merfolk of various species, and other forms of sea life- including whale-sized aquatic "worms".

Merfolk range in size, shape, form, and intelligence, ranging from bestial to very human. Some even have strange powers, but this is quite rare, dating back to the original magical species.

Most merfolk now emulate other existing species; like swordfish, Betta fish, dolphins, snappers, even turtles or jellyfish.

After being (re)discovered, Gunsmoke primarily acts as a tourist attraction and research base for marine biologists. Ships are the main method of transport, but some underwater buildings have been built to observe and study the local merfolk population.

Merfolk speak their own language, but some have learned English in order to communicate with humans.

(Specific characters under the cut)

Vash:

Though appearing to (loosely) be related to lionfish, Vash and his brother Knives are actually two of the Original merfolk from over a century ago.

Vash and his brother were raised in captivity by a group of marine biologists lead by Rem Saverem and William Conrad. Because of this, Vash is incredibly friendly towards humans and will often breech himself onto boats to say “hi”.

Many of his scars are from swimming too close to boat propellers, or attempted capture by poachers.

Nicholas:

With no known subspecies, Nick is one of the few merfolk closely related to the Original species, which is considered highly endangered. 

With no known parents, he was raised by Melanie, who watches over a pack of orphaned merchildren. This is where he was found and snatched by Chapel.

Nick has had very few interactions with humans and is highly distrustful of them. Vash constantly jumping into boats is one of the banes of his existence. Despite this, he’s still highly curious, and Vash has eased some of his hostility.

Midvalley:

Like Nick, Midvalley is closely related to the older magical species; specifically a siren. The two of them were close for a while, even potentially considered mates (much to Chapel’s displeasure).

As a male siren, he can’t hypnotize sailors like the females can, but Mid still can manipulate sound waves through the water, and mimic almost any sound he hears. That said, he has few other defenses, so he’s often seen with the leather-back turtle Hoppered for protection.

Razlo:

Big and aggressive. Do not engage.

Knives:

One of the Original species like Vash. Over 150 years old.

Knives wants to once again raise the sea levels to cover the remaining land on Gunsmoke and wipe out what’s left of the human population- biologists and tourists alike.

His fins can become sharp enough to easily slice right through the hulls of ships. many sailors have drowned this way.

Legato:

A jellyfish subspecies with long nearly-invisible tentacles that secrete a powerful neurotoxin, allowing Legato to paralyze and even to an extent control his prey after stinging them. 

He enjoys paralyzing humans he finds in the water, especially after being shipwrecked by Knives, leaving them to slowly drown before devouring them. In that order, if they’re lucky.
