Nereides

Age formula: Their apparent age as a decimal multiplied by 1000. You may lower by half if you want. For example, if they have apparent age is 13 than you would type .13 times 1000 in the calculator. You get 130 and you can lower by half so that makes their age range 65 to 130

### Source

These nymphs do not have two parents, they instead are born from nature and have a source region.

Their source is the deep ocean, so areas like trenches and the sea floor.

They cannot stray far from the ocean for very long without a water source made of saltwater. The parts of camp furthest from the sea are the outermost limits of their reach before they begin growing weak. Cannot survive long in dry places or without a saltwater source

## Culture

Godly connections: These nymphs fall under Poseidon’s domain. They are known to live around his kingdom and most have a positive view on him and his children.

## Powers

### Minor

*Hydrokinesis Saltwater* (Minor)

* The ability to manipulate saltwater. CANNOT create water.

*Lovers Curse* (Minor)

* There are many stories in which nymphs are involved that relate to love, in one way or another. As a result, certain nymphs have developed curses that, while hard to detect, they place as inactive upon their beloved. Should the person cursed perform an act of romantic love (Kissing, Long hugs, Telling someone that you really love them.) to someone besides the nymph, the minor nature based curse activates, causing effects like sunflowers temporarily growing from the cursed person's skin, roots wrapping around their shoes whenever they stand still, or all flowers smelling like wet garbage. It takes a day after using this ability for the curse to be removed or placed on another. It usually requires a personal item related to the target, such as a lock of hair, or a beloved trinket.

*Last Act* (minor)

* This is a once per lifetime power. It’s when a nymph draws on their life force and forces all of the energy out. This allows them to do crazy things. (Ex: land nymphs making entire mountains). However they will become one with nature right after using this ability.

### Given

*Underwater Breathing* (Given)

* The ability to breathe underwater.

*Underwater Sight* (Given)

* The ability to clearly see underwater, day or night.

*Aura sensing* (given)

* Water nymphs can tell when someone is a child of Poseidon based on the amount of power they can feel coming off of them. They can also tell when someone is a child of other water gods but they can’t tell which one.

*Water Pocket* (given)

* They can store anything that’s no bigger than a tennis ball, and doesn’t weigh more than a tennis ball inside themselves. With a catch it gets soaking wet, and if their body is made of clear water you can see it floating around inside the nymph.

*Deep sea glow* (given)

* Some Nereids have the ability to make their bodies glow

*Night fish* (given)

* Nereids get more energy at night time because of their source being the deep see

*Night vision* (given)

* These nymphs can see exceptionally well at night and in dark spaces

### Blessings

Blessings are given for temporary moments in role play. They are regulated by staff

*Demeter's Wrath* (Blessing)

* In a temporary moment in battle (often one when nymphs are in danger) Demeter sends her rage at the enemy through her child or a nymph. This gives them boosts in all of their powers so they can use them a level higher than they should be able to.
