Diamonds of Corsica OOC

[Eternity]

Diamonds of Corsica

On the island of Corsica, in the Mediterranean Sea (prized for its myths and treasures), lies wonders beyond most's imaginations. The wonders of diamonds and jewels, and minerals rich. But also in the wonder of fantastic mermaids. Men and women in a small colony surrounding the island and living in its underwater caverns that riddle through the deep of the island.

But when one pirate ship crashes into the mirage-hidden isle, a group of pirates is bound to find all the treasures collected by the merpeople. But more-so, will the pirates take leave with said treasures? Or will they be stuck upon the island?

The water isn't the only place the mermen and women can survive. One possesses the Luqua Amulet; a treasure famed to turn man into mermaid... and vice versa. This allows one particular person, a Mermaid elder, to walk on two legs and breathe the air when she chooses. And perhaps she, and her amulet, are the greater treasures to behold...




Characters

I have drawn Quell (Kwell), and will probably try to get a pic of her up. Until then, description will have to suffice.

Name: Queltedone (Kwell-te-don-ay) "Quell"
Age: 63
Appears: 22
Race: Mermaid
Occupation: Elder: Her race is quickly dying seeing as many are poached because of their fish-like appearance when under the haze of water. Also, many are eaten by large sharks or do not survive aging.

Description:
-Mermaid-
She has a long figure, or, more specifically, a long tail. Her upper body consists of lean curves, and smooth, humble breasts. Her hips a are bit wider, all the while maintaining the same lean, strong structure as the rest of her humanoid upper half. Quell's skin is a light shade of blue, which pairs well with the pearl-woven bikini that could rack up quite a pretty penny. Around her left arm is brown dried and strengthened palm reeds. Around her right is a metal bangle having been lost at sea.
Her face is angelic, but stern and mythical as well. Her cheekbones are high set. Quell's eyes are somewhat oriental looking, but not completely, having an Italian look to them, with long dark lashes, and thick hues of deep golden. Her nose is rather small, with a slight rounded end. Quell has full lips of a smooth burgundy, that almost matches the dark auburn shade of her mid-back-length hair. A silver headband holds her hair from her face.
Her tail is long, very long. Violet, it fades into a smooth crystalline white at the center with violet streaks, and has a broad and razored silk-like display of a fin in shades of yellow and red that are vibrant against her soft cool-colored body.

-Human-
As a human, she still retains many mermaid characteristics. Her skin is a light shade of blue, and she instead adorns a set of clothes found when scavenging shipwrecks. Her top is a leather vest that is tight against her chest and abdomen in a shade of brown, and her breeches are torn above the knees, making the beige colored breeches into shorts that hug her hips but are a little loose on her powerful legs. As a human, her eye color shifts to a smooth hazel shade.
