Marin

On my way to becoming a professional merman

[marinthesiren]

Hi, hello!

My name is Marin, Sy, or Siren, I'm a headmate in a system, and made this blog to (theoretically) document attempting to become a professional merman!

What is a professional merperson? (link)

I'm a mixed source headmate, being a fictive of Siren from Castle Swimmer and being an OCtive. My pronouns are He/It/They (in order of preference) or any shark/fish/water themed neos!

I'm sirenkin, merkin, sharkkin, and lots and lots of other things, I am not human!

Kinlist (link)

I share this blog with my good friend blackfish (forgive him, it has no real name) who is a fellow headmate of our system! Chances are it won't make an intro and he'll just lurk around, but still nice to mention!

Oh kin userboxes how I need more </3

Just a reminder that all you mercreatures, beings of the sea, are valued and loved and appreciated more than you could ever know <3

Even those with more niche kintypes, cecaelia, markupo, bakuwana, gillpeople, lake monsters, kappa, you're all revered and respected as creatures of the deep :)

I'm like?? I feel like my kinlist is missing something, and I'm looking through other creature's kinlists to try and see if I can figure it out

Needless to say, I forgot that kinning had become a very watered down term...

What is a professional merperson?

A professional merperson is someone who works as a mermaid, merman, merperson, or whatever else they want to call themselves.

These people (or creatures!) dress up in fish/shark/etc tails, crowns, shells, and so on and often work in renfaires, kids parties, and aquariums

They also typically have stage names like other acting professions, usually called "mernames" or "mersonas" that they use while preforming

Merfolk undergo lots of training for their profession, such as breath training, CPR certifications, and so on, but training is different depending on where they work.

Mers who work at parties are more likely to have more training in helping other people, while those who work in aquariums likely have more training to handle being around sea creatures
