‘This world isn’t yours to take!’
Ishi’s life is pretty much dictated after his grandfather’s fall. But after meeting Mondo, who behaves like the world is his, he might learn a new meaning of freedom ;D
Ishi [Nishikigoi (Kohaku)]: Ishi’s grandfather was formerly the head of his community until a failure led to his downfall. His whole family was then reduced to guarding the outskirts of the area they live in. Spending his whole life thinking of a way to get back up, an opportunity shows up when being able to capture Mondo means that he’ll gain his community’s trust again. He’s then set to do that without fail. However, living in his small community all his life, he had no experience nor knowledge of the waters beyond. (more fish/koi ref >u>)
Mondo [Killer Whale (Offshore)]: Leader of a huge gang of aggressive Mermen, eyes set on ruling all of the seas. Experienced, had been to many places, and had been involved in lots of fights. Also takes pleasure in causing trouble and sinking ships. Cares for his gang’s well-being a lot. High prize on his head among the mermaids and mermen.
[P.S. Anon, thank you! I had so much fun researching and coming up with ideas for this! I learned lots of things about mermaid folklore and fishes~ *q*]
