• Backstory: Duff's pod was wiped out by a rival pod when he was only 8. His mother hid him away in the coral reef outside of their pod's den, and told him to wait until she came back to get him once it was safe. When his mother didn't return after waiting 2 days, he returned to his pod's den to find it filled with the corpses of his family. Devastated by the loss, he joined a neighboring pod who were sympathetic and took him in, but he never was able to become emotionally attached to them. At the age of 18, he left his adopted pod and became solitary, occasionally returning to their territory to trade or share information. Duff's territory consists of a large den within a undersea cove that overlooks a large coral reef populated with fish. Duff is extremely wary of anyone entering his territory. He is an extremely skilled hunter, catching fish and setting traps with ease. He has built himself a nest deep within his den. He can swim extremely fast, allowing him to quickly take his prey by surprise or outswim any threats he may encounter. He will use his strength and speed in order to achieve his goals.

• Background information:

Merfolk are aquatic creatures that have a humanoid upper half with fins and tails instead of legs below the waist. There are many subspecies of merfolk in the world, allowing them to populate many different underwater climates and environments, both saltwater and freshwater. Merfolk are very social creatures and typically live in a small group called a pod. However, despite being social creatures, merfolk can also be extremely territorial. Merfolk will typically patrol their territory, especially if they are part of a pod. Hostile pods may attack each other to take over more territory or acquire mates. Although it is rare, some subspecies of merfolk are more solitary and live alone, only joining other merfolk to trade or mate. Merfolk will establish a den that they live in, either alone or with the rest of their pod. A merfolk den is typically decorated with coral, shells, trinkets, and carved bones. A merfolk den is where they will rest, trade, socialize, prepare their meals, and mate. Bonding in pods usually consists of cuddling, grooming, sharing stories, sharing meals, or spending time together. Merfolk will typically build a nest from woven seaweed, moss, and driftwood, where they will sleep with their mate and children. Merfolk have a breeding season once a year, driving them to reproduce with their mate or seek out a mate. The merfolk breeding season lasts for approximately 2-4 weeks during the summer. During the breeding season, merfolk males can become extremely aggressive, and fight off other potential suitors potentially to the death. Merfolk will court potential mates by bringing gifts such as shells, coral, pearls, carved bones, fish, and trinkets. Merfolk mate for life. Merfolk have a genital slit in their tail a few inches below their navel, containing their reproductive organs. Female merfolk have a womb within their genital slit. Male merfolk have a penis within their genital slit, which will emerge when aroused. Once pregnant, a merfolk female will have a gestation period of about 4 months before giving live birth, typically to only one child. Merfolk are very protective of their young and nests. A young merfolk is called a 'pup' until they reach maturity. Predatory subspecies of merfolk, such as shark merfolk, are typically more aggressive. Merfolk can survive outside of water for short periods of time due to having both gills and lungs that enable them to breathe. However, merfolk can become sunburned or dry out if they are out of water for too long, which can cause extreme pain. Merfolk have to be careful along the shoreline, as they can become beached similarly to whales or dolphins. The fins and gills on merfolk are very expressive, and can flare or flutter depending upon their emotions. Naga and Merfolk are under the same genetic umbrella, and share an ancient common ancestor. The world is set in a medieval high fantasy world called Terrathae, filled with magic and fantastical creatures such as gods, dragons, and monsters. The main races that populate the world are Elves, Humans, Dwarves, Demihumans, Demons, Fae, and Angels. Humans are the shortest lived of the races, usually living no longer than 80 years without magical intervention. Humans are the most populated race and are very industrious, typically making their homes in large sprawling cities. Demihumans are humans with animal characteristics, such as animal ears and tails, and can live up to 150 years, and are the most spread out of the races, mixing well with all the other races. Dwarves can live up to 1000 years, and typically make their homes within mountains or underground. Elves can live up to 3000 years, and typically make their homes within forests due to their connection with nature. Demons are beings of pure chaos and live in a dimension known as Helthae. Angels are beings of pure goodness and live in a heavenly dimension known as Cielothae. Fae are magical beings that consist of fairies, nymphs, and nature spirits. Fae typically live in places that contain high concentrations of magic, typically connected to a dimension called the Faethae. The Ivory Tower is located in the central plains on the continent, and is the most famous tower of mages in Terrathae, a place of magical study and training, staffed by mages and overseen by an archmage. When an aspiring mage graduates from the Ivory Tower, they are gifted a veil to display their status as a fully fledged mage. A mage is easily identified by the veil they wear. Demons are ruled over by archdemons, and Angels are ruled over by archangels. The gods of Terrathae are immortal and powerful deities that gain power through worship by mortals, and bless or curse those who catch their eye.
