Merorin Forms

Splish splash! You hear a melody coming from the Dream Seas..

Is it an anemoia to join the world of the ocean and escape into freedom?
Or is it a longing to join the parties aboard ships and explore the vast shores of land?

MERORIN TAIL ANATOMY REQUIREMENTS

• Traits, colors, and features must be accurately portrayed on the Merorin Form, or at least similar to the Orin's original form.
• Standard Merorin forms grant, from the waist down, a traditional "fish"-shaped tail. Traditional fish is defined as a tail with flippers/fins that closesly resemble the typical prototype of a fish, so examples include betta fish, lionfish, sharks and certain marine mammals like dolphins or whales. Fantasy tails are allowed as long as they follow the same format as above.
  
  • This waist down tail may be made of bauble body, or be a solid body.
  • Optionally, other Aquatic (COSM) traits, such as fins and scales, can be added to the Merorin tail freely with little restriction.
    • (However, major applications of Aquatic traits shouldn't affect the upper body, except if your Orin already has the Aquatic trait.)

MERORIN MISC. DESIGN OPTIONS

• The Orin would need Alternate Tail (MUT) on their original design to use non-traditional "fish" tail shapes for their Merorin form!
  • Examples include jellyfish/octopus tentacles, leafy sea dragon, stingray, sea horse, etc. Fantasy tails are still allowed, but this time are free to hold any shape.
• The Orin would need Aquatic (COSM) on their original design to use fins/gills/scales/etc of any shapes and sizes freely on the upper half of their body. Presumably, placement and type/size would match their original design, but you're free to slightly alter them to fit a Merorin form more comfortably.
  
  • However, if your Orin doesn't originally have Aquatic, you CAN apply MINOR Aquatic traits to the Orin's upper body, as long as it alters 10% or less of the upper body. Eg, add gills to the neck or add small fins.
• Hybridizing fish species is fine. (Eg, having betta fish fins but a whale tail)
• Applying new traits exclusively to a Merorin alt form is currently not permitted at this time.

NAGA -> LAND ORIN ALTERNATE SWAP

• Alternatively, the Seafoam Dreams item can grant an Orin with Naga (MUT) an optional alt form where they have their hind legs!
  
  • The Naga Orin will keep the same traits as their original form, just without Naga. If their original Naga tail had Bauble Body built into it, they may keep said Bauble Body.
  • The Naga Orin may have any Bauble trait with the exception of Object Baubles (COSM). This includes the following listed:
    • Opaque Bauble (C)
    • Painted Bauble (C)
    • Shaped Bauble (U)
    • Bubble Bauble (U)
    • Transparent Bauble (R)
    • Alternate Tail (MUT)
