What lies below the surface [fantasy rp, open]

(Used to be ‘The other side of dolphin rights’ title changed to better fit the new variety of species that will be in this rp. And it is essentially a personified view of sea life.)

OOC: A lot of you know about the dolphin rights debates that took place a few weeks ago in the Far Echo Islands, but I got to thinkin’ and I was like, dood, what if I made a fantasy rp like that?!!1!

But then I did, and I made a discovery, just about everyone has a different favorite sea animal. So I decided to redo the rp so that it allows for more variety in sea life. This changes the very dynamic of the rp, but I hope it is for the better. I hope that by giving people full freedom in what they choose to be it will interest more people, and just be a better rp all around. So you can be any thing in the ocean you want, only thing is that it has to live in some ocean, not something freshwater, but a delta is ok. This is likely to make quite a mix of creatures, so I recommend that we ignore things like ‘arctic’ ‘subtropical’ ‘Pacific’ ‘Atlantic’ and the likes of such.

If you were in the old version of this rp, you can create a whole new character, bring over your old character, or bring over your old character and make another character to help interaction.

While I ask that you have a template description* for you main character, you can mention your secondary character(s) in you story, or introduce them however you see fit. That holds true for all players, new and old.

So, no holds barred, total underwater rp, go crazy.
