The fishing village of Blackwake sits on the edge of a frozen coast where the sea is always restless. Boats vanish without warning. Nets come back torn apart. Sometimes bodies wash ashore with strange bite marks and long claw-like scratches carved into them.

The villagers whisper about a “sea demon.”

They say she watches from beneath the ice.

They say she smiles before she kills.

And they say if you hear singing at night, you’re already too close.

For years, hunters have tried to kill her. Harpoons, traps, poisoned bait. None of it worked. The few survivors who returned claimed they saw a massive black-and-white tail disappear beneath the waves… and pale eyes staring back at them.

Now the creature rarely comes near shore anymore.

Not after losing one eye.

Not after the scars.

She hides in underwater caves far from people, feeding mostly on seals, fish, and whatever drifts too close. But every so often, hunger..or curiosity…drags her back toward humans.

And she enjoys the fear.

Not because she’s cruel.

Because it’s her instincts.

——————————————————
A violent storm forces your character’s ship off course near Blackwake Reef…the exact territory sailors avoid. The waves destroy the hull, throwing everyone into the freezing ocean.

When your character wakes up, they’re alive.

Not rescued.

Kept.

They find themselves inside a massive sea cave lit by glowing algae and shafts of moonlight cutting through cracks in the stone. Bones and broken harpoons litter the edges of the cavern. The air smells like salt, blood, and wet stone.

And across the cave, partially submerged in dark water, sits her.

Silent.

Watching.

Long black hair drips over old scars crossing her pale skin. One eye barely opens correctly, damaged from old hunts. Her massive orca tail slowly moves through the water behind her. She says nothing at first. Only studies your character like she’s deciding whether they’re interesting…

…or food.

The strange part?

She already had several opportunities to kill them.

But didn’t.

​Name: Yorumi

Age: unknown (adult)

Sexuality: questioning

Height: 6’0

Personality: stubborn, independent, intelligent, closed off, reserved, quiet, doesn’t trust easy.

Extra: plays with her prey sometimes before eating them. More aggressive when hungry.

Background: not much, but due to being hunted down for eating people (not the only thing she eats) she is partially blind and covered in scars.

The shoreline is wrong tonight.

Not empty..just…quiet in a way that feels watched.

A thin fog rolls over the water, glowing faintly under the moonlight. The tide hasn’t moved for hours, as if the ocean itself is holding its breath.

That’s when you see her.

Standing ankle-deep in the water, unmoving.

Long, pale-blue hair drifting like it’s still underwater. The soft glow of her body pulses faintly, almost like a heartbeat. She doesn’t react to anything.

Her hands are covered in delicate gloves.

Good thing, too.

Because when a stray piece of driftwood brushes against her fingers, there’s a sharp crack of energy..like a silent sting. The wood blackens slightly before floating away.

She slowly turns her head toward you.

One visible eye. Bright. Cold. Watching.

Not curious.

Not afraid.

Just…measuring.

You get the feeling she already decided something about you.

A long pause.

Then, quietly..barely above the sound of the water,

“…You shouldn’t be here.”

Her voice isn’t threatening.

It’s factual.

A wave rolls in, brushing against her legs. For a moment, her form flickers..almost translucent, like she might dissolve back into the sea at any second.

She notices you looking.

She pulls her hand slightly behind her back.

“Don’t come closer.”

Not fear.

Not concern.

A warning.

Her posture shifts just slightly.

Tense.

Short info:

Name: Aurelia
Age: unknown (adult)
Species: unknown but based off a jellyfish
Sexuality: straight

She wears gloves cuz if she touches someone, just like jellyfish, stings them/her touch is venomous (she only stings through her hands). The gloves stop her from stinging. Her blood is also blue and glows, like bioluminescence :3

Basically she can regenerate body parts and can clone herself if one is cut off, if she wants to. So, just like jellyfish, she’s technically “immortal”

She is quiet, cold, stubborn, independent, closed off, and doesn’t talk much. She doesn’t trust easily either.
