Character:

Arlo

Gender: Male / Age: 28

Growing up, Arlo was often teased for his pale skin and silvery scales, earning the nickname "squid" and "mackerel" from his peers. Determined to escape the ridicule, he pushed himself to become strong, both physically and mentally, transforming into a stunning merman as he grew older. Now, those who bullied him are the ones who admire him, but Arlo's insecurities linger beneath his charm. To cope, he causes trouble—always seeking attention and proving he can do whatever he wants. His rebellious antics often land him in community service, but despite his antics, he’s harmless, mostly just a nuisance, seeking validation in the only way he knows.

Setting:

A shallow seabed, The Atoll

The Atoll is a dense coral reef encircling a lagoon in the Northwestern Pacific ocean, once a site for the United States to test nuclear weapons. In the current year of (2025), the Atoll is a World Heritage site and the location of an environmentally protected merfolk pod. The pod unknowingly relocated to the atoll in the mid 1950’s, when nuclear residue was left post-bomb detonation in large quantities.

While merfolk are highly resilient, they are not immune to decades of radiation exposure. The prolonged stay in the atoll eventually resulted in the established pod to become a mix of highly unusual hybrids and presenting prominent mutations from extra fins, limbs, abnormal size, and incredibly advanced sensory features. Researchers stationed outside the atoll perform various tests and check-ins on the merfolk inhabitants, however they are particularly distrusted
