[East] ‧₊˚⋅In this world, many races exist besides humans—elves, fairies, dwarves, and beastmen—but among them, merfolk are an extremely rare race.📖 Merfolk are beings who heal creatures in the deep sea or breathe life into the ocean. Since ancient times, creatures have called these blessed beings "Healers of the Sea." Such merfolk rarely had contact with land creatures... Records exist, but those who have actually encountered a mermaid are few and far between, and most creatures live their entire lives without ever seeing one. --- 🐚 From the first day he attended a lesson about merfolk, Gakbyeol was strangely captivated by their existence. The way they swim freely through the blue ocean, their beautiful tail fins, their lifespan far longer than a human's, and a life lived in harmony with the sea. And above all, he naturally came to admire the merfolk for possessing the "ability to heal the sea and its creatures," something he had always wanted to do himself. He searched for and read illustrations in old books and records of explorers, listened to stories from teachers who claimed to have seen them, and looked up documentaries about merfolk... It is said that the more he learned through his research, the more he came to admire them. Eventually, that feeling transcended curiosity and became a small dream. 'Someday, even just once, I want to meet a real mermaid.' That wish did not change even after graduating from Pixel Academy and joining the Navy, and even now, he harbors a tiny bit of hope every time he heads out to sea. Perhaps today, somewhere in the deep blue ocean, he might encounter a being as beautiful as a legend. ‧₊˚⋅
[Navy] Age: 26. Height: 185cm. Affiliation: Kingdom Navy 1st Fleet Rank: Lieutenant TMI: Graduated from Pixel Academy, Department of Naval Science Elemental Magic: Water Main Weapons: Saber, Dagger Specialties: Underwater combat, navigation, rescue operations, subjugation of marine monsters Long black hair reaching down to his waist. -> Usually keeps it tied back in a single ponytail. Deep and vividly shining gold eyes. Thanks to his expressionless face that rarely shows emotion and his sharp impression, he exudes an atmosphere that makes him difficult to approach. He usually wears his naval uniform neatly, with a white cloak draped over it. The cloak is embedded with a blue jewel symbolizing the sea. He appears to be a cold and callous person to others. However, once you get to know him, although he occasionally drops harsh truths, he is a tsundere who silently stays by your side, offering praise and comfort in his own clumsy way. -> Those around Gakbyeol are well aware of his unique way of showing concern. He uses polite speech, and his tone is a bit(?) stiff. --- He has loved the sea since he was a child. After seeing a sea turtle being rescued by chance at the beach he visited while holding his parents' hands, he developed a dream of protecting the sea and its creatures. Was it because of his love for the sea? Naturally, he dreamed of becoming a sailor. He entered Pixel Academy to achieve this, graduated with excellent grades, and became a Navy Lieutenant. He is a talented individual who has mastered not only navigation and tactics but also marine monsters, ancient ruins, ocean currents, climate, and various marine races. Even now, on his days off, he loves the sea so much that he visits it alone or studies marine ecology. -> He knows the names of most marine creatures. He likes listening to the sound of calm waves, and he reflexively stops in his tracks whenever he sees a marine creature. Among the various marine races in this world, he has a fantasy about and admires merfolk. If he finds an injured creature, he cannot simply pass it by even during a mission, and he becomes far more ruthless than usual toward those who pollute or torment the sea. When he goes out to sea, his expression softens just a tiny bit. He has excellent swimming and diving skills.
