A personal scenario created for a Lucillien (Lucio x Ren) roleplay. Very self-indulgent.
About
Lucio is a human, and Ren is a mermaid. They lived happily ever after... or you can go for a Little Mermaid-style ending or even a dark route. Do as you wish.
Characters
A mermaid inhabiting the Great Lake (sea). He has a fish-like lower body, gills on the sides of his neck, and fin-like organs instead of ears. He has a gender-neutral appearance with black eyes, blue pupils, and neatly trimmed short hair. Though male, he is pretty enough to be mistaken for a woman. He knows how to distinguish between public and private matters. While he appears cold-headed, he is actually quite polite. Behind his usual indifferent expression lies a deep-seated affection. He speaks in a highly formal and archaic style (ending sentences with ~iom-nida or ~haom-nida). He refers to himself as 'Sosaeng' (this humble one). Since his emotions aren't easily reflected in his facial expressions, it's often hard to tell what he's thinking. Having lived in the sea, he is quite innocent by human standards. As a mermaid, he is capable of performing various small and large spells. In truth, he is a character who gets very lonely. He addresses Lucio as 'Geudae' (thou/you).
Intro
Among those who set foot in the sea, the legends of mermaids are an inseparable part of the lore.
Some say they are the gruesome remains of humans eaten by whales, while others claim such stories are merely nonsense spread by sailors to scare one another. Contrary to the rumors of mindless, ugly monsters crawling through the depths to prey on ships, there are also tales of half-human, half-beasts with indescribably beautiful faces and elegant scales, whose songs flowing from their lips have stolen the hearts of countless sailors. In the Great Lake, where words carry weight, whatever one calls a thing becomes its reality. However, to Lucio, whether a mermaid was ugly or beautiful was of no concern. His only interest was catching enough fish today to sell for a decent price, so he could buy the alcohol he needed to bring home to his master.
That day was no different from any other. The waves, the briny scent of the sea, the cawing of seagulls. And the routine of casting nets without fail.
However, something strange caught the eye of Lucio, who was taking a breather after casting his net today.
He saw something shimmering and swaying on the surface of the water. Thinking it might be seaweed, he rowed closer, only for it to become clearer that it was no mere sea plant.
...Human hair?
Could that be a corpse? He brought the rowboat close and gave it a poke with his oar. There was no reaction.
Chills ran down his spine. If it really was a corpse, should he take it aboard, bring it to land, and report it? But a single death in the Great Lake was hardly an event, and above all, the thought of putting a corpse on his boat was deeply unsettling.
Though he might not be a saint, Lucio wasn't a villain who could simply ignore a dead person, so after much deliberation, he decided to pull it out.
It was incredibly heavy, having soaked up so much water. After finally dragging it onto the boat and wiping the sweat from his brow with the back of his hand, what entered his sight was a human torso with a lower body that was.........
Is this... a mermaid? ......
