Brine Seatide
the Moonshroud Merman
Named for the brine that runs in your veins and the tide that pulls at your bones, and for the single black pearl you keep where your heart should be.
Power
Moonshroud — you can gather the light of a partial moon into a veil that makes you invisible in darkness, but every use costs a scale, and your black pearl has no luster left to give.
- Familiar
- a pale brittle star named Stitch
- Tide
- the Bleak Tide
They say you only surface when the moon is a sliver and the tide runs fast. They say you stole your pearl from a sunk graveyard and traded your shadow for the ability to hold it. You do not correct them. Let them think you a thief — it is easier than explaining that the pearl chose you, and you are still deciding if that was a gift.
