See, I had a strict posting order in one of my other rps I gm, and it hasn't been working out too well. We're always waiting on someone to post and the others forget about the rp or lose interest. I was out sick once and the rp didn't go anywhere for a month because of the strict order post.

So posting order is Rarity, Vicier. Smallwonders, then me right?


We don't have to keep to that strict posting order all the time. But 2 people need to post before you can post again. Just don't leave someone too far behind. Say someone else is in a different timezone. 3 of us might post a couple times, but we should not post 20 pages and leave the last person way behind.

Does that make sense?

Other Information:
I am a long time role player of 1x1 role plays, but I'm back from a couple year break and now also trying my hand at group role plays. I'm female, over the age of 21, married and I have a lot of free time. I live in the Eastern Standard Timezone GMT -5.
Okay. We're on! Everyone has made the first round of posts and I posted again. The official posting rule starts now!

No back to back posting. Wait for at least 2 turns before posting again. Don't leave a person too far behind.
What's everyone up to? Just going to repeat this in case someone didn't read my previous post.

So the new rules are:

2 posts need to be posted before you can post again, be thoughtful of other people and do not leave them too far behind.

Any ideas or suggestions on a conflict for the characters soon? (Not the undead, but something else?) Or suggestions on some goals for the role play? I'm obviously showing my Newbie-ness as a GM.
"Good, just in time!" Nixie said as one by one, everyone showed up. "It's getting dark. We are not the world's best planners." She smiled and felt a wave of awkwardness surround her. Three out of four of them had grown up together since they were really young, so it was strange they did not know each other better. Oh well, maybe they would have a chance to become friends during the course of their class. She liked making friends, but since she lived in the lighthouse, she did not get the chance to hang out with the neighborhood kids as often because the main housing area on the island was too far to walk. Come to think of it, the other three lived in different parts of the island separate from the housing addition, so they probably understood how she felt.

"No need to apologize." Nixie took one of the offered gummie snakes from Tristan. "Before you got here, Tristan was asking about the project because Mrs. Sarah put her with us at last minute." She glanced over at the new girl. "People on the island are really big into protecting and conserving the waters, animal and plant life. So Mrs. Sarah sends us out on little projects like these so we can learn how to make things better."

"Just be thankful we did not get into the recycle project group." Nixie laughed. "I'm all for recycling but she's having the group go around to all the local residents houses, docks and business, asking them if they can go through their trash and collect all the things that can be recycled." She waved a hand in front of her nose.

"I ramble. Let's hit the road... so to speak, before it gets too dark to see." She glanced over the land toward where the white peak of her lighthouse stood. Her dad had a schedule for when the lights were supposed to be on. All the fishermen knew it and if they went out when it was not scheduled to be on, then they were doing it at their own risk. It had to be on a strict schedule to conserve energy for the island. If it was on all the time, it would likely cause power outages, which is why most of the fisherman did their fishing during the day. The night fishermen had special boats with spotlights to help them complete their jobs. It was not scheduled to be on tonight because of the full moon. Usually, a full moon was light enough, but if it was cloudy, then it could potentially be pitch black out soon.

Nixie turned the key in Jay's boat, frowning when it made a weird clicking sound at first. She ignored the warning voice in the back of her head, thinking nothing could possibly go wrong. This boat was as reliable as most of the big fishing boats. It was Jay's pride and joy. They drove for a few minutes in silence; she enjoyed the spray of ocean mist hitting her pale skin. The dolphin from before was following them.

"Hey Ike!" Nixie pointed out the dolphin to everyone else. "He's so smart. Sometimes I think he understands me."

Mako Island was looming up, bigger and bigger. The volcano was in perfect view. It was impressive and a little intimidating, though it had been inactive for as long as any islander could remember. She could see the stream that trickled out of a little opening in the volcano into a mangrove forest.

Just as they were 20 feet from the island, the boat started to sputter. Nixie's eyes widened. She looked at the gas gauge, confused because it was still full. She was no mechanic and had no idea how to check what was wrong with the boat. It had completely died.

She looked over at the other girls and bit down on her lower lip. "Now what? We're going to have to paddle the rest of the way to shore." She picked up one of the paddles, handing it to Andrea.

Here we go everyone!! Here is the map to the Islands!!


I love it. Thanks for making it!
Other powers they have:

Speed swimming: It allows all merpeople to swim at the speed of 600 km/h. Their body is encased in bubbles and use it as a jet stream to swim faster.

(It's never been mentioned, but I think they should be able to communicate with aquatic life, mainly whales and dolphins. *shrugs* At least more so than a normal human can.)

Powers they can all learn (eventually) without an upgrade from the moon pool: (They're just natural powers mermaids should be able to learn)

Telekinesis
It is the ability to move objects and people with the mind, often in ways not visible to the naked eye.

Invisibility
Can be used while in mermaid or human form, but does not last very long. Can also be used to make anything the mermaid is touching invisible, including people.

Volume Reduction
Volume Reduction is the ability to shrink objects. (Can also un-shrink objects) [There was an episode in Mako Mermaid's where the mermaids used this power to manipulate someone's vocal cords, shrinking them, changing them until the person sang on perfect pitch.]

Also when you get wet, you have 10 seconds to dry off or you will turn into a mermaid.
The Full Moon-

After they've been turned, the full moon will cause unexpected phenomenal effects on them, which is different every month due to planetary alignments.

A full moon has very strange effects on the mermaids. It seems that not only does the full moon give them an opposite take on their original personalities, but makes them quite romantic and seductive.(which can be explored later on in the role play when we decide what to do for the romance element)

These effects only last for as long as the full moon is in the sky. During a full moon, the moon pool on Mako Island sometimes protects the girls from the moon's strange effects. The girls usually don't always remember what happened to them when they were under the influence of the full moon.

Only certain full moons will upgrade their powers (not every single one. It depends on a lot of special timing with the planets alignments)
Mako Island's History

Mako Island was formed after a comet crashed into the Earth. We know that one of the shards impacted near Ireland (Eire) forming the Sea Caves of Ireland. So other shards may have landed in other locations creating moon pools wherever they impacted. It is possible that these other moon pools could have also created mermaids all over the Earth in other places and other times. Mako Island has a magical sea cave at its base leading to the Moon Pool where our characters get their mermaid powers. There is also a secondary cave leading to a waterfall outside. The waterfall is part of a stream running through a mangrove forest. Mako Island has been around long before humans walked the earth and it will still be around long after humans have gone. Around Mako there are the largest population of Mako sharks and sea turtles, some of which cannot be found anywhere else on earth.

Off-shore there are coral reef sands and a number of wrecks. On the northern side of the island there is a place called Triton's Reef, its a known as place where sharks breed. Throughout history, there have been peculiar happenings around Mako, such as a whirlpool and numerous ship wrecks and disappearances, giving Mako an eerie reputation.
Moon Pool-

The Moon Pool is a special, supernatural pool with the power to transform normal people into merpeople when the Full Moon passes over the top of the cave.

There are currently two known Moon Pools: one on Mako Island in [Our Island Town] and another in a Sea Caves of Ireland in Ireland.

These places were formed on Earth after collisions with a comet containing Moon Rocks and Crystal that generate special powers corresponding to the Moon.

History

The Moon Pool's magic is active only during a full moon. During this time, any human who jumps into the pool when the moon passes over, will be turned into a mermaid or merman, and given special individual powers. The Moon and the Pool generate different magnetism and effects depending on the moon's phases and the planetary alignments. When nearing collision with a comet, the pool's temperature will rise in preparation for it.

Please keep in mind that these wiki pages are just for inspiration. Keep things simple at first and don't overpower them or learn everything all at once.

They can only learn upgraded powers by being in the Moon Pool during another full moon (and they do not know this fact until it happens)
