Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to be able to live in the ocean, "breathe" water like a dolphin & whale etc.

[galled]

If the water was clear it might be ok. Murky and/or dark water would be terrifying!

[Gingerale]

hmm didn't think about that. I was thinking more along the lines of "Finding Nemo".

love your merman avi npix!

Thanks! He's a prince who is training to be emperor of the ocean one day, as his father I the current emperor! He is using a less powerful version of the Aquos Trident, the mighty weapon and symbol of power for the emperor!

[Lemon Cheesecake]

cool!

[npixelz]

He is among several hopefuls for the throne

The emperor has many wives, and each has provided one child

My character is among the few favorites to win

All merfolk have special abilities

Most get the common ones, like healing with water, or hypnotic voices, some get uncommon ones, like changing parts of the body to have aquatic animals parts like turtle shells or shark teeth of crab claws or whatnot, and a rare few get rare abilities, like controlling the weather, turning into water and moving through it invisibly and nearly untouchably, or controlling and changing water, including its properties, for example turning parts of it to ice, or changing the flow or current, or changing the shape, or even changing how it interacts with things.

My character has that last power, and, at his mother's request, has made a cape out of water that is slightly different than the rest of water when he's in it, so it's still visible and interactive in water. He's also created his own invention; wings made of water that act as solid wings when in contact with air so he can actually fly, but when touching solid objects, it behaves like water and things can actually float inside the wings. He's done this because merfolk can only walk on land for a short time, with webbed feet, before needing to return to a large enough source of water where they can easily fit inside again, so with his wings, even after having a tail again, he can still be out of water!

BTW I wouldn't mind more ideas for common and uncommon abilities!

I think you should write a book. I know I am intrigued by your story synopsis.

[npixelz]

I really should start writing, I have so many ideas! Also ty!

[Lemon Cheesecake]

You really should! And I honestly mean that ... don't let your talent go to waste ... the more you use it the finer you can hone your words.

[npixelz]

Indeed!

I DID start a story awhile back
It was a telling of Pokemon Legends Arceus from the perspective of an Eevee and Eeveelutions user
I had to put it aside when Scarlet and Violet arrived, and haven't gone back to it yet
I plan to go back, though
But mainly it's a practice one

[Lemon Cheesecake]

Practice is good!

[npixelz]

Indeed it is!

[Lemon Cheesecake]

I think I need to work on expanding my interests myself. After all, sometimes a hobby can become a business or a collectors item!

[npixelz]

Or both!

Speaking of expanding interests, my mom has recently-ish started learning piano!
