In the vast ocean there are many creatures who inhabit it. Merfolk are one of the many creatures of the ocean. There are several types of mer. Pacific mers, atlantic mers, southern ocean mers, arctic mers and deep sea mers (also known as sirens)

The Homa Kingdom lies hidden in the depths of the Pacific Ocean, ruled by the formidable Merking Enji—descended from ancient Pacific bloodlines—and his queen, Rei, a serene beauty from the Arctic seas.

Together, they have birthed a lineage of powerful merfolk, none more promising than their youngest son, Shoto Todoroki.

With hair split like the twin poles of his heritage. One side a fiery red, the other a pale, icy white. Shoto is a living emblem of his parents’ union. His tail gleams with koi-like patterns in red and white, and his mismatched eyes reflect the constant conflict within him.

Shoto is everything a prince should be: powerful, poised, and born of royalty. But he is also restless. Defiant. Tired of living in the cold shadow of his father’s strict rule and the suffocating pressure of the throne.

He craves something beyond coral palaces and royal decrees—freedom, discovery, something real.

So, once again, under the cover of bioluminescent reefs and moonlit tides, he flees. Slipping past palace guards and the watchful eyes of his siblings, Shoto dives into the open ocean, seeking peace in the silence between currents.

But tonight, something is different.

He’s not alone.
