#make the hippocampi manatees!

[ahsokalegend]

apparently a percy jackson season 2 would mean my idea of the hippocampi (they’re manatees) would not be manatees in the show (replaced with cgi non-manatees :(

WELCOME TO PORT VALE

thank you so much to everyone who has joined our little adventure! below the cut is our opening cast, and we cannot express how excited we are to bring port vale to life with each and every one of you. please make sure you complete this checklist & send in your character account within 24 hours. we will open for interactions at 3pm EST tomorrow!

CORAL as Emilia Mirabel Acosta

we’re so pleased to have such a pleasant splash of color to the town, and emilia is the perfect breeze of fresh air we could have hoped for. we love how you brought out her true character and how she has been able to find herself in port vale so much!

PEARL as Renzie Anand

tragedy haunts renzie, and we love it. he has stood strong in the face of struggles, and port vale will rely on that strength as the plot thickens! kuromi loved the part where he chalks up all the weird events to manatees and we love his practical way of looking at it! 

SEAWEED as Stephanie Anand

the way stephanie has little interest in the inn and has carried on her dedication for the hunt of the merfolk is so inspiring, and you took all our favorite parts of the skeleton and created such a beautifully well-written concept! 

CONCH as Dominic Wolfgang

jude, we loved how you perfectly captured the dynamic between victoria and her heir so perfectly. the subtle imagery of the two of them sharing campaign and the way dominic feels loyal but torn between himself and his legacy was everything i could have asked for! 

BRONZE as Helena Savater

your idea for the rise in ranks to captain being based on a war that helena was hardly a contender in was absolutely incredible and we are blown away. we especially loved the time you took to mention her coral reef home, and you captured her perfectly!

AQUAMARINE as Kaia Waverly 

you took the idea of a carefree spirit and created a beautiful character! we love how kaia isn’t sure if the ocean would want her back to begin with, and we are so excited to see the adventures that kaia will get herself into at port vale!

MARBLE as Lazarus

the way you used the humpback whales as an example for the life of your hippocampus was incredible, and the comparison embodied exactly the vibe we hoped when it came to the mystifying creatures. we love his tortured spirit vibes so much! 

ALABASTER as Simrin Akhzar 

we love how you showed how time as a concept has swam away from the hippocampi, and the character you created is the perfect amount of mischief and wisdom that we were hoping for! we’re glad to see another merfolk in town who isn’t too concerned with the war nonsense

ANCHOR as Quinn Darcy

as our only oc applicant this round, it was amazing to see how well you fit quinn into the town dynamic. his steadfast non-belief in merfolk will make for an interesting development as the plot unfolds and we can’t wait!
