@Metior_Ice I love catching up with Alex and Ember again. It feels different or maybe it's my faulty memory. I'm looking forward to seeing how it all unfolds.😃
@DaniRose2143 Alex is now his own character. His name will be Alex Zalrian, and instead of Alexander Goth being reborn as a merman and adopted by the Zalrian Pod, he’s actually Calum and Arihi’s Eldest Son born under the sea.
There will be many similarities to the old story, but Alex is a new character. I also have a different plot in mind for the first arc of the story.
I’ve been meaning to ask @Ellupelluellu some things about their Cassandra Goth and Bella Goth because they had a post involving them that hinted back to my original story’s beginning.
However, I do plan on having Alexander Goth and Mortimer Goth appear in my story.
Damion might also be a little different because of Camilo’s presence in the story.
As for what @Ellupelluellu teased was the sudden disappearance of both Alexander and Mortimer during their trip to Sulani. Something involving a sea witch, but no one knows.
Damion is known among merfolk for not going back on his deals. Most who go to him know that he never undoes his magic once a spell has been cast. He’s possessive by nature and the Voice of a Merman or Mermaid is no exception. A deal with him carries the weight of permanence. Most go to him expecting to not get back what they lose.
Camilo is known among humans as a terror from the deep that preys on human greed and desire. Humans deal with Camilo because he did what Damion would never do. Camilo sacrificed his ability to love so that he could take human form and grew much colder than Damion ever will be because of this. Like Damion, Camilo is a Natural-Born Merman that must sacrifice either his voice, love, or youth to walk among humans. He chose to give up his ability to love to go on land.
Because Damion still has his youth, voice, and ability to love, he is a sea witch that can only traverse the sea or underwater. Damion will never appear on land in a human form. And he’s fine with that, he fell in love with Caleb close to the ocean shore, but he never did anything that would allow him to go on land. Damion is also the one that made Caleb a Reborn Merman after an accident with sunlight. Maybe a bad beach day or something. Regardless, Damion is not a fan of humans and isn’t interested in dealing with them. He will deal with the denizens of the sea though.
As a Reborn Merman, Caleb can no longer take human form without the same magic from a sea witch. Caleb is the Patriarch of his pod.
This story will be similar but it will also be different.
@Metior_IceYes that was a backstory I came up with about why Bella and Cassandra were alone in Del Sol Valley 🙂 I hinted to your story there, only mentioning they never returned from their trip and nobody knows sure, but rumors were about a sea witch 🙂
Bella and Cassandra made their new life among stars, and Morty or Alex were never seen again, at least not in Willow Creek or Del Sol Valley 🙂
Going to be getting the next 2 chapters out next week if I can. I recently came down with a seasonal cold and recovering was a priority.
But, I’m getting some experience with what it feels like to be losing your voice. lol. I do not Envy Alex, but I definitely have a better understanding of what it feels like to not have a voice now.
So, I ended up getting sick and that delayed things, and now, Spinning Plumbob just released a CC tail that looks amazing! I’m actually considering another story reboot so my characters can use that tail.
I have Alex Modeling the two different tails here. I seriously feel like the neverland tail that just got released looks so much better. Just need to wait for the child conversion before replaying the beginning of the story. I might even try something new for the story while I'm at it. Idk.
It's possible that I'll just need to replay the scenes to get new screenshots for the first chapter. I have a few different decisions to make.
As an added bonus, I had Kemps model some poses to get a different look at the tail. Redoing the screenshots is not impossible considering how early into the story things are.
After creating the 7 Mermen that will maintain the peace in the sea, I think I made my decision for the future of the story.
Each one of these mermen will have a special spot in the story. I tried to represent the LGBT community and different ethnicities in each merman.
From Left to Right:
Damion Vatore (Purple Tail), Anas Mahi'Ai (Green Tail), Rio Marus (Orange Tail), Alex Zalrian (Blue Tail), Hawea Savea (Yellow Tail), Fin Aquarus (Pink Tail), Akira Ningyo (Red Tail).
Damion Vatore and Alex Zalrian will probably be the 2 that my followers will know best. They both represent White Non-Hispanic.
Anas Mahi'Ai will be Nalani Mahi'Ai's Brother and will represent the Pacific Island Culture that Nalani Comes from.
Rio Marus represents the Hispanic Culture.
Hawea Savea will represent Carribean-African Cultures.
Fin Aquarus will represent the LGBT community alongside Damion. Dylan Zalrian is Bi, but he does seem to have had a history of seeking out a male partner. Fin Aquarus is gay and might be a good partner for Dylan. He represents the Irish/ Scotish cultures.
Akira Ningyo represents the Japanese culture.
Again, each one of these mermen will have a special story arc. Some are a bit farther out than I can clearly forsee, but each one of them will be in the story.
Seeing this new tail from Spinning Plumbob, I've been particularly inspired. My plan is to retake screenshots for Chapter 1 so that I can continue the story with the Neverland Tails. I just love the way they look.
Before I update with the new chapters, I’m going to redo the screenshots for Chapter 1. I think I like the Neverland Tail CC more than the Atlantica Tail. Updates should come after Spinning Plumbob makes the Conversions for the Child Merfolk Available.
Kinda testing something out. Let me know if you got a notification if you’re subscribed to the first post of this thread.
I recently uploaded a modded and unmodded version of my Seven Mermen that will have a significant role in my story. The modded version will be the most developed household.
Anyways, my Seven Mermen Household is titled The Guardians of the Sea. These mermen are not how they will exactly be in the story, but if you are looking for a diverse group of mermen represent different social groups, this might be a good household to add to your game. My hope is that they add diversity to a game, and I fully expect them to get updated to a player’s preference. This household is a fairly generic version of the mermen that will have significant roles in my story.
For the unmodded version, you just need the packs.
For the Modded Version, you shouldn’t need too many mods. The CC and mods from Spinning Plumbob, specifically the Neverland Tail, Expanded Mermaid Mod, and Occult Preferences is all you should actually need.
Their Skirts are CC from SimmieV, but I left their human forms underdeveloped so they can be customized. In my own saves, almost all of these specific mermen won’t even be using a human form. Only Alex will actually have a human form that gets developed over time because he’s the only one out of the seven that will make it possible to use a human form later.
Now that the child conversions have been released for the Neverland Tail, I’m going to start updating things in this thread.
I plan on sharing the prologue before the end of April.
As for the chapter 1 in this thread, I will probably see what I can do to delete it or at least do something to help minimize confusion. The story will be starting with the prologue.
Since the Month of May is referred to as MerMay and artists challenge themselves to create merfolk content during this month, my plan is to release the entire Little Merman Story Arc for my SimLit that month.
I’m separating my story arcs based on seasons, and my first story arc is taking place in spring. Ideally, this should also put me in a good spot to start the next story arc during June, the first month of summer.
Hopefully, I can continue to align my story arcs with the same season in real life.
