MISSION [ wish full ] + plotting post
Qruria City is one of the many kingdoms in the underwater planet Xrisora, a flourishing city that boasts of its stunning architecture and the varying flora and fauna that surround it on the ocean floor. The xrisora, the mer-people of the planet, come in varying forms and live in a matriarchal society — Qruria City is ruled by Queen Xephia, and she and the entire royal family are well-loved by the citizens.
The traditional Caerulea Festival is just around the corner, and many xrisora from other underwater cities are arriving in Qruria to celebrate the time of year when light from the surface reaches the ocean floor.
The team’s objective is to find the orb. Viveca has traced it to Qruria City, but the team must find where it is.
In order to blend in and survive the underwater planet, Viveca and Degar equip the team with spells that change their appearance to mimic that of the natives and thus will allow them to swim and breathe underwater.
In the deepest depths of the ocean, where no land-lover without a pair of ocean-legs dares to go, there is a city called Qruria that spans across the large sand bed. With tall twisted towers carved and created from sedimentary rock, and the brightly coloured flora that can be found draped over these structures like a living blanket, Qruria boasts a proud and diverse metropolis that is a beauty to behold. Both wild and tamed fauna alike swim to and from the crevices and nestled shelters, adding to an active population of merpeople and creatures (both humanoid and not).
Past the market-places and residential neighbourhoods, the farmland and the entertainment sectors, the palace of Qruria stands at attention, carefully watching her subjects from spires that stretch towards the water’s surface, glowing with bioluminescent-powered lamps. At night, from the city’s streets, one might look up and think they look like stars.
QUEEN XEPHIA
The queen has ruled the city for fifteen years and has been as well-loved as the Queen Mother was before her. Her fair judgment and the kindness with which she listens to her subjects has made many xrisora from other cities migrate to Qruria City. She’s only ever known to raise her voice with her unruly daughter, in the hopes of raising her to be a good queen one day.●
KING KROLIS
The king supports his wife in her day-to-day duties and oversees the hunts and harvests that keep the citizens well-fed. He may look intimidating, but those who know him speak to his mild manner and calm disposition. It is well-known that he adores both his wife and his daughter — some might say to the point of never saying no to anything his wife suggests, and spoiling his daughter.
●
PRINCESS XORIA
The princess turns eleven years old this year, and though she can be absolutely charming and winsome (usually when wanting something), she is very strong-minded, stubborn and quick-tempered… the opposite of her parents in many ways.
●
THE QUEEN MOTHER
Xemiane was ruler of Qruria for 78 years before Xephia’s coronation. Though rarely in the public eye these days, she was known for her bold and brash personality that could easily captivate and command any room she entered. Those who were around for Xemiane’s rule have little worry that Princess Xoria, who lately has been taking more and more after her grandmother, will do just fine when it comes time for her own reign.
●
LEVI(ATHAN)
A funky little guy of questionable origins. No one really knows where Levi came from or what he's really all about, but he provides harmless (usually…) fun and often generous rewards for those who take on quests down at Levi's Deep Jingle Pocket Emporium. Why not come down and see what sort of adventures and wares he has for you today?
The mission spans the months of August and September, and characters will return to the station in mid-September.
The team’s main objective is to find the orb and retrieve it. To do that, they have to find out where exactly it is in the city, whether it is being used, and if it is, somehow get the current owner to hand it over to them.
Alongside the log, there are quests that the characters can take on to receive different rewards. The quests will have their own header for claiming and submitting completed quests, and the quests themselves can be threaded out as part of the log.
In order to blend in with the locals, the characters will take on features similar to those of the natives. As the natives look very different — some with tails like more classic-looking mermaids, some with legs and tails, some with just legs but fins on their hands/back/legs, and some with also their facial features or hands/legs mimicking those of the species of fish they are — there can be a lot of variety when planning your character’s changes.
Characters are encouraged to share information through the network, and a mod-provided plotting/voting post will be posted later on in the mission to plan for events in the second log.
The personal goals have been assigned and can be found here. If you have any questions about your task, please ask us here! In the same comment, there are instructions for what to do if you are unhappy with the task your character has received.
Please use this post to plot for the mission and make your own plotting comments. As we did not have a separate CR meme this month, feel free to use this plotting post as a CR meme. You can use the form below:

I always enjoy torturing my muse, so go ahead. Peter is a manta ray, he can't hurt no one. I mean unless he tries to bitch slap someone with those huge fins.
no subject
or we can get inspire by whatever prompts are available once the event drops
ooh a manta ray is cute
how well is he gonna fare in the water?
no subject
Thanks! The pic isn't finished but he will look like this.
I'd say he will have little trouble. It's not the same of course, but he is he's used to flying with his jet boots and to the no gravity of space, so it wont' be that much of a change for him. And apparently, Manta rays can swim pretty fast when they put their mind to it.
If there's anything specific you'd like to do or try with Kakashi, just let me know.
