Long ago there was a great civilization that had technology beyond that of any other civilization. The continent known as Atlantis was the home of this civilization. Envying their higher technology and way of living, the deities of the time destroyed Atlantis, banishing it to a watery grave. Bits and pieces of the continent had broken off and sunken into deeper parts of the ocean. One such part was the city of Alethea, the capitol of Atlantis before it sank.

Alethea suffered, surprisingly, the least of the overall damage of Atlantis. The palace of Atlantis is still intact, but the royal family had perished during the plummet to the dark depths of the ocean. Because of the darkness, there is little light. Most of the remaining superior technology was absorbed by the vegetation surrounding Alethea. Fields of seaweed and a special flower are the main source of light that is used. Though the royal family had perished, there were many others who survived.

The survivors of the disaster had changed over time, changing into what we know as Merfolk. Most have the upper bodies of humans, but their lower half is like the tail and fin of a fish. Some have had a greater reaction to the change, becoming almost completely like a fish or whale or octopi or other sea creatures. Each have a coloured, round gem encrusted into their chest which cannot be removed – for women this area would be near the start of cleavage and for men it would be around the similar area – and each gem is a different colour from the next. There is a certain ritual the Merfolk have which coincide with these gems.

At first glance, the gems appear as any other gem would. Upon further inspection, it seems that the gems cannot be removed by mere force. The gems provide longevity and an inhuman strength, and create an electric-type of energy that can be used as a weapon of sorts and allows the merfolk to glow slightly in order to see about in the darkest parts of the ocean. There is something else that makes these gems important to the Merfolk: a ritual.

When a Merperson comes of age, generally sixteen years (about one-hundred by the Merfolks' calendar), they are set out to spend a week on the land. This will allow them to search a wider ground for their 'soul mate'; they could be any being similar to the Humans or be another Merperson. Once they find their 'soul mate' they are to spend the rest of their lives with them as a Human, or return with their partner to the sea; the latter part is possible because the Human will become a Merperson if they agree to live in the sea, otherwise it is the Merperson who will become Human instead. Once their partner is found and their love announced, the gem will glow and, after the partner kisses the gem, will disappear. However, not everyone in the oceanic and earthian kingdoms wants the ritual to happen.

The Sookumchuck are a group of Merfolk and Humans who want to prevent the Merfolk's ritual. They are evil beings who will stop at nothing to prevent a Merperson from finding their partners, by any means – even persuading the Merperson to fall in love with them. If they succeed, then the ritual will be stopped; if it is stopped, the deities that the Merfolk worship will cause great damage to their home, drive the last of the Merfolk to land and be forever condemned as a Human. The Sookumchuck are a sort of Aryan group who agree to work together only to prevent the Human and Merfolk race from joining together; they believe Merfolk were never meant to be with Humans and visa versa.

Character's Bio: Kida is a quiet yet out-going mermaid. She is one of seven children from the Rowena family; growing up as the youngest, she is now the only one still living with her parents. Kida is a bit of a perfectionist, but not to an extreme. Most of her life was spent tending to the special glowing flowers sprouting about around Alethea.
