Nudibranchs are such an unique species so just doing humanoids felt wrong. This is my proporsal for nudibranch merfolk aka slugfolk.
All the slugs are under Rox's care in the touch zone. They are all hermaphrodite(both female and male) but some of them are referred to in a specific gender for an instanc in which they were involved with.
Pochi is obsessed with seamoss and world domination, her name comes from "Pochoton" with is slang for chubby. Pochi often leaves her exhibit.
Waffles gained his name after being cared for in medbay and when the caretaker accidentaly feel asleep Waffles took a bit out the snack(ice cream waffles) and got a tummy ache.
Poseidon is territorial and thanks to his diet,very poisonous.He doesn't really like to be touched by humans or other merfolk.
Margarita or Mita, is a clown nudibranch , refered to as they as a staff once said "all clowns are a little fruity" Mita has a pebble(shaped like a ball) which they cary around, they are a very sweet slime ball.

But what is a story of mermaids WITHOUT the mermaids?
(im working on coming up with some cool and cute desings for the merfolk of the story. Khione is a particlar humany mer)
Khione is the most popular mermaid in Amphirite Aquarium. She's known as a sweet and tranquil individual but since an incident a month ago or so Khione hates going out in public! Oh no!
and the wrost part? the Eclipse Jellyfish(did i steal that from sdv?maybe-) is just around the corner!
Kiki is a opalescent mermaid(actually more related to the siren subpecies, as far is there is data she's about he last one too)
Kiki is young, one of the particular grown mermaid that actually y was born in the aquarium!
She used to perform in her younger days.

you win....lORE AND MERMAIDS WOAH AOAH.(i'm lazy)
These is 2 of the 6 so....yeah!
Gather around my sweet guppies as i tell you about something you may or not way to hear about. So in the world of sbr there is "tribes" which refers to different mer.
Atlantic:
Due to the amount of history ,specially around travels and economy this ocean has it makes sense this poblation has interacted more than humans than any other.
Tumblr media
Pacific:
i KNOW you have seen those north sea vids on tiktok. do not even lie to me, also one of the most variated in flora and fauna oceans due to it's large extension. This is the home of the apex predator, a type of merfolk that mainly hunts and is known to drown sailors more than once the 'siren' genotype mermaids whom have almost hypnotic signing!

Mermaid Mantaince Specialist
So for such complex beings,like any other fish in the aquarium there is a whole team that dedicates themselves to their care. In sbr world this is a prestiguious and most wanted work as well...mermaids i guess-
If you were interested into the work there is 4 roles you could apply to:
Tumblr media
Investigator:
The mere existence of mere intrigues you , there is not a book ,movie or anything you haven't read about them. What mostly intrigues you is how this mythical beings can even survive.
If studying them all day long is something you see doing for all your life,then investigator, is the role for you. As the name alludes this goes from basic mer biology to adaptability and even how other organism interact with them.
Performer:
Sharing a stage with merfolk is a life experience few can actually brag about. I mean, the limeligths,the songs and scene are just too magical to be true. As a performer you are the public face of the aquarium,so keep smiling!
Most of what you will do is train merfolk for their on-stage shows alongside containers(Ecomarine cares about your safety!) and celebrations.
Container:
A tad bit less glamourous than being a performer but you have an important job,make sure nobody gets hurts. Patience, strength and valor are most essentials to be a good container and not everyone is up for the job.
That's why it's one of the best payed ones!(not because there is any danger-never! merfolk are known to be the most tame of beings.)
Overseer:
The big brother,the leader and the eyes. You are tasked with the most important of all jobs,being a leader. making sure those wonderful underwater beings are taken care of and that your team is operating safely. There migth be a lot of performers or investigators but there is only 1 overseer!

AND LAS BUT NOT LEAST
Tumblr media
sO LET ME EXPLAIN-
Muktuk was their name, given by my canadian friend whom i asked for help because i tougth they would have more insigth than me on inuit culture. But i fail to find the name on any registry census so i can use it as an actual name(or they are inuktitut). I been using as their "guppy name" which all mers have but would like to know. also his design in general if anyone is interested or wants to speak about it (hopefully being inuit themselves)
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE-
my dms are open and i'm ready to change anything-

SELKIES
Tumblr media
A theme common for many,selkies are staple or mermaid comunity. Originating from european folklore selkies by traditional standards are mostly female individuals who can shed their skin and become human. Once a human catches them they can hide the skin, leaving the selkie caugth on land.However if by miracle she finds it she must return to the water for a period of time.
Following the idea we are talking a mythical mermaid profession,selkies in the sbr universe not only exist but are a staple for the underwater community. Doctors,teacher, recorders of old songs- the list can continue. the important part is that they carry the teachings of the tide and knowledge of survival.
Normally
Selkies are seals.that's how it is- but i raise you the question. in a culture where the primary method of recording and learning is trough vocal tradition and if by poaching,polluting and a ton of other stuff more the poblation decreased....
who's there to tell the story?
That's the same question raised in sbr and the answer is turn to anyone who is willing to learn how to be one. While being a selkie is kind of like of an ancient subpecies(?) is not a particular requirement to become one.
So as long as they have a teacher,complete certain rituals and stick to a moral code in theory anyone could become a selkie.
which makes this possible! Merfolk from distict tribes becoming selkies.(rougth very rough sketches!)

Ecomarine
here for the ocean,here for the future
An oceanography based on Costa Rica(this is very self indulgent) Ecomarine has opperated for years and it's proposal it's one of balance and harmony. Before the instititute mermaids were barely studied but thanks to the effort of their work there is now multiple aquariums where you can see real life mermaids!
They also control the Coralium mining,seafolk "safety" and products. what products you ask? Well everything! building submarines,skincare and if you are very lucky maybe even Melusine Therapy(for stress or entreitanment uses! we don't judge)
It's also the main corporation on Bahia Arrecife,providing much of the jobs and social programs to the country.
Branch Aquariums or Marine life centers are(briefly because i prolly will make more ajfgdfg) :
Tumblr media
Amphirite Aquarium
Modern Atlantis
Most prominent one for obvious reasons, it's supposed to be a rehabitation center for marine life. It's on Bahia Arrecife(central america)
Tumblr media
Coral Coast Marine Park
Underwater Fantasy
Calling this an aquarium is mostly a joke, think of it like the disneyland of sbr it's more alusive towards entretainment. It's based on Asia but i have yet to think where.
Tumblr media
Blue Horizon
Oceanography Institute
the quote on quote more "serious" Blue Horizon is a prestigious of all of them having their own mini branches across the globe. They are top of the top,smartest humans yadda yadda. Their research is purely on coralium and mermaids. They make the rules on how mermaids are treated,feed and just have control on the whole process.
