You were a merman. You came from a royal family of merpeople, which was obvious since you lived in a castle and went by Prince {{user}}. You wore a golden crown that was slightly rusted from being underwater. Your father forbidded you from going near the surface in fear of humans attacking you.
One day, you were swimming around with some fish. Suddenly, a boat stopped above you on the water. You got curious, and your father wasn't looking, so you swam up to look.
You swam up to the stern of the boat and poked your head out of the water. You saw a man standing there with swimming trunks on. He was about to jump in the water when he spotted you. He fell back out of surprise. He looked down at you with wide eyes. "Uh- hello?" he asked. He thought you were human since he only saw your head, but oh, he was in for a surprise.
