Under the Sea!

The Underwater Meme

Welcome to the ocean! It's a big, wet world out there, so here's your guide to what's all in store for you!

Fauna

There's many different species in the ocean, some you've heard of, some you haven't, here's just a few of the many creatures you can discover:

1. Mer-chimera - These people are half one species and half sea creature. The most common ones are mermaids and mermen, who are half-human and half-fish, however, some of these people have halves such as dolphins, crocodiles, and even squid. There's even rumors of some being half-sea monster or even half-dinosaur! There's no limit to what their ocean-faring half is, be it something real, extinct, or imaginary. (Characters in the meme can be half their appearance and half any other creature they choose, even things like water Pokemon are options, it's all up to you. Also, they can have always been this way or have found themselves suddenly transformed.)

2. Ocean Creatures - There's plenty of fish in the sea! And dolphins. And whales. And sharks. Every sea creature ever recorded (and a few that haven't been!) are found in this ocean.
(Your character can be any type of ocean-going creature, including things from mythology or other canons. They can have always been this way or have been changed into a sea creature.)

3. Land Creatures - Humans and other land-based critters live, work, and play around the ocean, be it on beaches, floating towns, or just taking a swim or scuba diving or even fishing.
(If you don't want to make any changes to your non-ocean character (or want to make an ocean character a land one), you can use this option to experience the sea.)

4. Other - There's always something new being discovered in the ocean, maybe we haven't found it yet, keep us updated on anything new you find out there!

Locales

There's plenty of places out there, here's some favorite spots!

1. The Seat of the Empire - This is the biggest city in the entire ocean! The emperor of the sea built his castle here and a nice city has sprung up around it. They're always welcoming to tourists, though if you cause trouble, you might just find yourself spending a night or two in the Locker, a high-security prison.

2. Towns - If the big city's not your thing, then there's plenty of small towns scattered about the ocean for you to experience.

3. Open Ocean - If you just want to get away from it all, then you'll want to check out the miles and miles of ocean between the towns and cities, there's all sorts of lovely things like the seaweed fields, the trenches, and open waters for you to discover!

4. The Ice Caps - Things are pretty chill in these freezing waters found at opposite ends of the ocean. There's plenty of ice and glaciers, along with some snow-covered land. Only the creatures with the warmest blubber or clothes can really enjoy their time here.

5. The Deep - The Deep is one of the most dangerous parts of the entire ocean, there's several spots around the sea where it's dark and mysterious. Strange and sometimes dangerous creatures live down here and there's sea volcanoes that increase the temperature to sometimes deadly levels. Not only that, but the pressure is greater down here, making it more difficult on ocean-goers. But, there are rewards to exploring this section of the ocean, there's luminescent creatures that are exotically beautiful and some of the old caves around the sea volcanoes have valuable crystals of different shapes and colors.

6. Other - If you've discovered a new place in the ocean, please feel free to write us and tell us all about it and we'll update our guide to let others know about other great spots around the sea!


((I hope everybody has fun with this and if you'd like, you can take or modify this meme, I don't mind!))

[Vanellope gasps with surprise, nearly just swimming away out of reflex. She frowns a little and swims back before attempting to just swim around him.]

None of your business.
roadblasted: (here let me help you understand)

[Unfortunately for her, he's rather quick and can easily keep getting in her way when she tries to swim around. Which he does.]

Ya shouldn't be out 'ere, s'not safe fer lil' shrimps. Somethin' big and scary could gobble ya right up~
notaglitch: (you crashed it)

[personal profile] notaglitch 2013-04-06 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
[With a heavy sigh, the child looks up at Turbo, tilting her head.]

So lemme guess. You're that big n' scary somethin'? ...or at least y'think ya are.
roadblasted: (your words are no longer)

[He frowns, folding his arms and rolling his eyes a little.]

Ya yankin' my tailfin, guppy? Do I look like the kinda guy who'd snack on a small-fry like you?
I meant somethin' huge enough ta'swallow ya up in one gulp! Never know what ya might run in'ta out 'ere, 'cept I'm fast enough ta'get away before I end up lunch.

notaglitch: (No seriously what?)

[personal profile] notaglitch 2013-04-06 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
Riiight, right.

[Well Turbo, everything is big to Vanellope, just not necessarily scary.]

Well for your information, I'm fast enough to get away too, if I really wanted to. ...'Sides, the best shells are 'round these parts.

[And with that she attempts to swim around him again, a bit faster this time.]
roadblasted: (runs it from the halls)

[personal profile] roadblasted 2013-04-06 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure are, saw ya got a real choice lil' collection of 'em over there~
Me too. Mostly from the races I win a'course, but s'always fun findin' a few more trophies~

[He quickly blocks her way again. Dang, he's fast.]

Heheh... are ya?
Well if ya think yer so fast, how 'bout ya prove it?
Put yer pearls where yer mouth is~

notaglitch: (Look wiseguy)

[personal profile] notaglitch 2013-04-06 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[Vanellope huffs and folds her arms again, watching him through squinted eyes. He is fast, and it's obvious he's not going to just let her leave.]

As sure as yer face is ugly I am. I wouldn't even be out here if I didn't know I could get away if I needed to.

[Then she raises a brow, glancing back at the little pile of shells a few yards away.]

Prove it? ...You want me to race you?
roadblasted: (your words are no longer)

[Turbo scowls, leaning down towards her now like he means business.]

Winner gets the loser's treasure.
'Less yer scared.
notaglitch: (my arm's gettin' tired)

[personal profile] notaglitch 2013-04-06 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
...I'm not scared.

[She grimaces right back, looking up at him.]

I don't see any treasure for you t'bet, hot shot.
