Their top half is always humanoid, with possible fish-like attributes to their face, hands, or torso. Commonly found among less ichthyic merfolk are gills on the side of their neck, patches of scales on their skin, and possibly small fins from time to time. Merfolk have a natural affinity for the water and swimming, and are weakened by dehydration/lack of water. On the other hand, merfolk can both breathe underwater and on land, and can swim much faster than regular humanoids. Although their upper half would remain consistently humanoid, their lower half can be anything from crabs, octopi, and even jellyfish. Merfolk scales are especially unique for their unique boost to Infernal Arcire magic.\\n\", \"inline\": false}, {\"name\": \"Mystical Attributes\", \"value\": \"Like the fairies’ natural size changing, the merfolk possess natural magic in their beautiful singing voices. When they sing, their sound possesses a mystical attribute, either being to lure, infatuate, or repel entirely. This attribute is dependent on their genetics, and is not affected by any external magic that they may possess. The merfolk have adapted to use any kind of magic, though they cannot collect mystical energy, and instead are born with one type of magic that lasts for their entire life. \", \"inline\": false}, {\"name\": \"Diet & Common Homes\", \"value\": \"Merfolk can consume anything that regular humans can, but they can draw more nutrients out of sea life. Their adapted physiology has also made them immune to various toxins and poisons held by various sea creatures such as fugu and jellyfish.\", \"inline\": false}, {\"name\": \"Cultures and Religions\", \"value\": \"The merfolk are extremely religious people, with their different religions spanning across the oceans of the world. Although it is impossible to document each and every different and diverse religion without making a separate book entirely, the more notable of the many religions of the merfolk include the Church of the Levios and Patholism.\\n\\nThe first of the three, the Church of the Levios, is native to the Southern Manalan Ocean’s tropical regions just over a thousand kilometres from the shores of southern Craetura. The Church of Levios is a polytheistic religion centred around the worship of the Palasso, a pantheon of Gods with 19 members in total. These gods are said to control the sea, the earth, the waters, and all sorts of other aspects of daily life of a Leviosan merperson.\\n\\nPatholism is native to the Great Northern Sea, and is based around co-existence with nature and the earth in order to unlock the ‘true’ power of a Mermaid’s magical abilities.\", \"inline\": false}, {\"name\": \"Notable Half Breeds\", \"value\": \"Merfolk half breeds will, across the board, possess more ichthyic properties such as gills and scales, and will inherit their parents’ proficient singing voices.\\n\\nElf-Merfolk are more likely to be born with two infernal elements; Arcire and Arcothos. This can be true even if their parents are not Arcire or Arcothos.\\n\\nFairy-Merfolk can call upon the spirits of the ocean to give an even more powerful boost to their magical abilities. Their wings will also resemble webbed fins\\n\\nElipsid-Merfolk are able to create constructs out of water instead of energy, though they do not possess the same control that Infernal Magic users have.\\n\\nKhasgali-Merfolk are able to use water to create items, though it is still difficult to create said items, as water is worth less than blood, which has an even higher cost requirement for creating items due to their half breed biology.\", \"inline\": false}], \"description\": \"Part man, part fish, merfolk are a very unique set of humanoids, being the only hybrid creatures recognised as their own species. They are characterised by their unique appearance and, up until recently, were thought to be somewhat mythical in a sense, as they dwell deep below the surface of the ocean. Male merfolk and female merfolk are referred to as both mermen and mermaids respectively. \"}",
