Meri {unowned - caution neccesary}

[Meri]

Basic Information
Full Name:
Unpronounceable to land-walking creatures.

Nickname:
Meri {"the sea" in Finnish}

Name on Identification:
Meri

Age:
early thirties

Gender:
female

Species:
Leviathan

Sub Species/Breed:
Sea Serpent -- {Humanoid form}

Physical Appearance
Body Type:
Humanoid.
Her natural form resembles a cross between the typical image conjured when one thinks of a 'sea serpent', and a Basilosaurus. Powerful, long and with crests along the spine and at the end of her tail. Estimated at around sixty foot long with an appropriate weight.

Physical Details:
Black, shoulder-length - currently done up in a straggly bun. Strong yet feminine features, with an aquiline nose. Her skin is pale yet not unheathily so. Her figure is bordering on plump, although with muscle distinctly present in the abdominals, legs and upper arms - a swimmer's build; long-bodied, regal.

Physical Markings:
A nearly white underside, from throat to crotch, with equally pale streaks on the undersides of her wrists and ankles that corresponds to markings in her natural form.

Physical Drawbacks:
Requires the ingestion of or submersion in salt water at least once a fortnight to remain in sellable physical condition.

Current Inflictions:
100% save for disorientation

Physical Defenses:
Needle-like teeth in the front of her mouth leading to a more omnivorous arrangement near the back of her mouth. Two of these, the canines in her upper jaw, are hollow -- the slave is currently defanged, but the venom sacks remain and the fangs are showing signs of growing back. Claws on her hands.

Appealing Attributes and Attraction:
Otherworldly appearance - not neccesarily beautiful or model-stunning, but different enough to be considered 'exotic', and pretty in a way not contributed to mortals. Ageless in bearing - has a worldwise, condescending way about her. Black, lifeless-looking eyes with a just barely visible pupil. A healthy physique deemed 'womanly' by many historical artisans - soft in the buttocks and arms, deeply curved at the hip with a handful's worth of a bust.

Clothing:
An off-white linen tunic tied up at one shoulder with a thin matching material belt at her hips that's slip up on both sides to expose her thighs. Also wears a shark tooth on a short leather cord around her neck.

Other Items on Person:
None

Behavior
Feral or Cultured:
Teetering between the two. Cultured but with a feral cunning.

Phobias:
Tokophobia - fear of childbirth

Disorders:
Unknown - none yet observed

How do they present themselves:
Predatory, dangeous, ill-adjusted.

Feelings towards being owned/rented:
Angry and defiant, compliant only so far as it gets her better treatment with freedom as her goal.

Overall Attitude:
'Devil may care', haughty, manipulative to the point of calloused coldness. Shows a general dislike for land-dwellers unless her respect is earnt or they prove ultimatly useful.

Quirks:
Twitchy, prone to fidgeting with her hands, taps her claws against the cage bars when impatience. Prone to more feral vocalisations (hissing, screeches etc) when injured or irritated.

High or Low Maintenance:
High

Diet/Allergies:
Omnivorous but shows a preference for eating meat. Cannibalism towards other humanoids is as of yet unobserved but suspected.

Abilities
Languages Spoken:
Finnish, Common, Drow and a language that could be loosely called 'Undersea' that merges Drow with clicks, whistles and screeches.

Can they Read/Write:
No/No
* Looking for an IC teacher

Can your character produce magic:
Yes -- currently this is restrained through a nullifying collar.
*Water manipulation; heating, cooling, boiling, shaping. Water has to be already present for her to do this, she cannot 'conjure' it out of thin air. Rumour has it that she may be able to manipulate the water inside a person's body, although this is as of yet, untested.
*Animal Ken; primarily with creatures of the sea, predators in particular

Talents/Skills:

Net weaving - Fishing - Swimming - Pearl-diving - Hand to hand combat - Dancing - Net & Trident combat (think akin to a retiarius) - Navigation at sea - has a proficient knowledge of the how to's of sailing - Singing - Cooking - Bushcraft

Training:
none IC

Other
Previous Owners:
A small whaling boat Captain [NPC]

Previous Usage:
Danger alarm -- she alerted the ship she was on as to any dangers coming at sea, be it weather or otherwise, and if possible, averted them. In exchange for this, she was fed.

Previous status:
Free

For Rent or to Own:
Ownership after a trial period of two or three rentals at my discretion. Rental's are open.

Cost:
1 Night Rental = 8 gold
To Own = 80 gold

OOC Info/Notes
Availability:
GMT timezone (yes, I'm British). Due to my University schedule, I am on longest at the weekends. On a Monday, Wednesday and Friday however, I have only half-days an so will be on then. While I may be logged in throughout the rest of the week, roleplaying sessions will not be as long as I would like but you're more than welcome to strike up a scene or just talk to me!

What are you looking for in a slave/slaver Roleplay:
Character development!

What are your allowances for your character:
NC save for death, rape & severe permanent mutilation. IC consequences for IC actions - and yes, that goes both ways, don't expect to irritate her and to get no response.

Long Term/Short Term:
Long-term for ownership only, and long-term is preferred for IC friendships and so forth. Short-term is fine for passing acquaintances and rentals.

Notes:

*Taking a leaf from Merrow & Selkie mythology, she has a cloak of netting riddled with trinkets that permits her to take human form. When it was taken upon her capture, she became stuck in humanoid form, without enough access to her natural abilities to shift - it is the fastest way to secure her obediance, as destroying it would weaken her and possibly permanently trap her. The cloak will be passed on to whoever purchases her.

A mark was made on the slaves paper in flowing script:

Inspection of slave was passable but not remarkable. The slave Meri requires additional training. Her clothing was discarded and a more appropriate outfit for her station was provided.
