Mermaids
The
Origins, History & Powers Of The Sirens Of The Sea
 A
mermaid (female) or merman (male) is primarily a superhuman who appears human
from the waist up and fish like from the waist down. The fish half
can vary in color among Mermaids, and can include crimson, orange,
yellow, green, blue, and violet. Upper echelon royal Mermaids have
a metallic gold looking color. Royals beneath them will be blue or
violet in color. Mermaids are
classified as superhuman mammals since their fish half is genetically similar
to a dolphin. Incidentally mermaids have the closest kinship with
dolphins who they keep as beloved family pets. Mermaids live primarily under the surface of the sea able to
breath oxygen from the water through their special lungs. They can talk
underwater although they more than often speak telepathically with each
other. They are immortal creatures
whose sustenance comes from a mystical form of shimmering sea kelp although they
do consume other plant life and fish as well. It's not uncommon
for mermaids to hunt sharks for feasts of celebration. These superhuman
aquatic entities evolved from an ancestor common to humans but with latent
dolphin like DNA that was supernaturally activated by an ancient wizard on the lost continent
of Atlantis formally located in the middle of the Atlantic ocean. This DNA
is rumored to be alien in nature from a long gone under sea civilization
on the planet Gliese 581d some 20 light years away. It was
thought that a crew of these aliens were on there way to Earth to
explore when their civilization was destroyed. Once here there
wasn't enough of them to properly propagate their species so they mixed
their DNA with a group of humans that became the Atlanteans.
The
Island continent of Atlantis not only developed fabulous technology, possibly
originating from Gliese 581g alien technology, far in
advance of it's time but was also in touch with the supernatural world. A
wizard named Mermis foretold the end of Atlantis but few heeded his warnings.
His most loyal of followers choose to have their fish like genes activated and imbued
with supernatural powers via the help of other worldly forces. When
Atlantis sank into the North Atlantic Ocean around 10,000 BC, the mermaids were the only ones to survive with Mermis being their
King after he underwent his own transformation. They rebuilt Atlantis
as a magnificent mystical mermaid metropolis deep beneath the ocean where most of the mermaids live today. There are
other populations in the South Atlantic, South Pacific and Indian oceans as well.
The main difference between the various populations is their allegiance
to Sea Gods. Atlantis has always had allegiance to the Greek God
of the sea Poseidon and his wife Goddess Amphitrite. The South
Atlantic populace called, Neptunus, left Atlantis a long time ago
because they believed in the superiority of the roman God Neptune.
The Indian Ocean mermaids were originally Atlantean explorers and
eventually decided to form their own civilization called Mystic
Seas. There's also an island nearby called Mystic Springs where
Mermaids live in permanent human form. That area of the ocean
floor was teaming with mystical sea life and is the antipode of Woodland
Springs, Colorado (a town teaming with paranormal activity). They
are allied with the Hindu sea God Varuna. The South Pacific Ocean
populace was sanctioned by Atlantis to claim the Pacific in their name
but they instead set up their own independent city called
Pacifica. They worship the Polynesian Sea God Tangaroa.
There is also rumored to be a small civilization in the Mediterranean
Sea called Oceanus which is rumored to be the original under sea base of
the Gliese 581d mermaid aliens. That would in fact make it the
oldest mermaid civilization on Earth. Oceanus was the Greek God of
all oceans even before Poseidon. The knowledge of Oceanus may in
fact have been brought here by the aliens who worshiped him as
well. This would make him not simply an Earthly God but a Galactic
God who presides over the oceans of many worlds and cultures throughout
the Galaxy.
Mermaids
immortal powers include super strength. They have been known to
wrestle with ferocious sharks although their telepathic connections with
sea creatures makes this unnecessary. They do however refrain from
using such mental powers when going on a ritualistic hunt for sharks
with tridents. They can super speed swim through the ocean at up
to 66 mph which is almost as fast as the Sailfish. They also
have hypnotic abilities that allows them to lull some humans into a
submissive state. They are not invulnerable to injury but can
withstand a lot of damage and will rapidly heal. There is not
enough data to determine power stats of a mermaid who takes human
form. Although it's known they have slightly enhanced supernatural
abilities.
Unfortunately they cannot procreate in
their natural fish like state as they have no genitals. They must mate by leaving the sea together.
Since their sex drive is very low this doesn't happen
often so the mermaid population has stayed relatively small despite their
immortality. This has the
added advantage of lessening the risk of their detection by the human world.
If you ever happen upon a deserted beach on a full moon and catch a
couple having sex they just might be a couple of mermaids. Also
mermaids can mate with humans and procreate although this is a frowned
upon as  taboo in the mermaid community. The offspring of a human
impregnated mermaid will be born mermaid but have the ability to leave
the sea and transform human legs at will. The offspring of a
mermaid impregnated human would be born human but have the ability to
take mermaid form at will once they enter sea water.
A mermaids tail transforms into
human legs, feet, genitals, etc when they leave the sea and bask in the light of
the full moon at the stroke of midnight. It must be a complete 100% full moon
with no cloud obstruction. At the stroke of midnight on the night
of the new moon they will revert back. During that time if their legs come in
contact with sea water then they will revert back temporarily until their tail
is completely dry again. They may return to human form on the next full moon.
Legend also has it that they can stay in human form permanently if the full moon
falls on Halloween. Although they will loose their immortality and
mystical powers becoming a full human with slightly enhanced physical abilities
and senses. However it is said that magic can reverse their human form permanently
or temporarily. Those who become human and procreate with a human
create a human who can only transform into a mermaid through magic.
