Name: Meroh Race: Zora Age: 21 Gender: Male Place of Origin: Eastern Seas PWC: 1/3/4 Treasures and Rupees: 8 Rupees Aquatic Affinity (Trait) Boomerang Fins (Trait) Magic Proficiency (Trait) Angled Geyser [Augment] (50 Rupees [3+1 W/Aquatic Affinity]) Bottomless Bottle (22 Rupees) Magic Power [Rank 1] (40 Rupees [3W] Water Running [Augment] (20 Rupees [4+1 C/Aquatic Affinity]) Equipment: Flowing Outfit (A vest and skirt combination that doesn't restrict movement. It isn't very absorbent, to prevent it from adding weight in the water, the fabric a bit rough as a result. The loose tailoring of it allows better land mobility.) Yuku's Favor (A scarf he wears often.) Pet: Hermit crab named Kukuru. He keeps Kukuru with his valuables as a play on the common guard dog. He finds the little things the crab does common to its species oddly funny, and is often in a jovial, bright mood when interacting with the crustacean. Appearance: Meroh stands tall for a Zora, and is of a solid build like many of the Eastern seas Zoras. His hide is a dark blue-green, with a broad, flat head-tail resembling a ray, draping to his middle back. A small pair of frilled fins rest flush against his hips when he isn't in the water, and like many of his kin he often goes without clothing entirely. As he's found this to be unnerving to the other 'civilized' races, clothing remains a common choice in his repertoire when not about the homestead, and venturing abroad. Personality: Meroh is a free spirit, good-natured, quick to laugh or make light of a situation. Like many Zora he has a particular love of music and the peace that it brings. He detests violence, and genuinely believes that there is not enough love in a world where Ganon exists. The rumors (and truths) to come out of southern Hyrule sadden him greatly. His vices include women, and fine food. Occasionally he is known to have light fingers, sheepishly returning the goods after the fact with his apology. This has given him a reputation among his brothers and sisters for being a prankster, though it was not his intent at the time of the pilfering. Background: Meroh began his career as a border scout in the Eastern Seas as a matter of necessity. Finding the day to day engagements with octoroks, jellyfish, giant eels, and others detestable, he spent a great long while developing his skills as an annoying deterrent over being a Zora Warrior true and proud. When it was learned that he was simply driving the enemies of their kingdom away with some light bruising and catcalls, he was brought in for questioning regarding his performance and confessed his displeasure with the assignment. Meroh's love an affinity for the sea had brought him a great power, but he was unwilling to direct it as his people needed. This lead to him being shifted to courier duty. He enjoyed the travel, going between Zora's Domain and the eastern sees. The fighting still found him, but he proved himself enough of a trouble that it didn't follow him, at least until he met a girl. A pianist named Yuku, in Zora's domain. She was young and talented, her music speaking to his heart. It was love, he had been sure of it, but the morning after was not at all what he might've expected. Yuku had been drugged, she would have never consented, he'd been told. It hurt, and he fled. Defecting from his courier duties, he made his flight from the Zora's domain and started making a living as an adventurer, flitting through the domains of the river Zora to find old temples and lost places. If only he'd known he had sired not one, but three children that night...
