I know what you're thinking: he's on the jelly lichens again, but no! This is just some perfectly normal sea weed hanging out on the beach, doing seaweed things.

#2746 - Codium fragile subsp. novae-zelandiae - Dead Man's Fingers
An edible green seaweed widespread on rocky Aotearoan beachs. In this case the rocks were basalt chunks from Blackhead. Presumably some had once been part of the layers of columnar basalt, set into hexagonal columns as deep lava pools cooled and shrank.
One of over 140 confirmed species in the genus, found on all but polar coastlines. Shipping has allowed some to become invasive species far outside their home range.
Blackhead, Dunedin, Aotearoa New Zealand
Some sheets I prepared for a DOL roleplay I'm organizing with a friend! It's steampunk themed, it's got trauma, it's got drama, I'm working very hard on it :> Can't wait to start writing it with my friend! ANyway, some basic info on the LIs!
Arden- the isolated
Basically my own personal take on Kylar in this universe. However, instead of bein a gross little freak, he actually has some charisma to him. Yes he's a yandere, but not the desperate type. He's more likely to silently plan to kill all his love rivals, rather than kidnap you. he will eventually if pushed over the brink, though. § He has a creepy, yet misterious aura about him. Maybe it's his big, amber eyes that scare people away. He's softspoken, but will infodump you about his passion project. people call his stories creepy. He's into writing and dolls. Will make sure you cum every time you have sex.
Codium- the merman
A merman bound to the sea. In this steampunk universe, industrialization massively impacted the environment, including the sea. it's scattered with oil and garbage. His first encounter is him trying to drown you, thinking you're polluting the waters. Once he realizes his mistake, he'll apologize profusely and be actually rather kind and sweet. If you get in trouble in the sea, with high enough love he'll come rescue you. During sex, he'll note how different you feel from his people. Will praise you endlessly, and try his best to make you cum (may not be very good at it, but he tries.)
Gear- the robot
A mischievious little street rat. He lives off of stealing stuff from the dumpsters, fixing it and selling it at overpriced rates. He's desperate to make money to help his creator, Vicky. she disapproves of his criminal life, but she can't do much about it- they need money. Despite his bratty attitude, he cares deeply for those he considers friends. That's why he isn't afraid to turn to a life of crime. He is a dirty boy, he's into all kinds of nasty shit. Is not afraid to get his hands dirty , in any occasion. He's a horny little freak. he WILL have his sexytimes with you. Even if nonconsensual, he'll always help you cum after sex.
Jamie- the orphan
It ain't a DOL universe without an orphan somewhere. He's an aspiting inventor, and is quite creative. He may need some help to pay off Bailey, he barely manages to make enough money to pay rent every week. he often has to skip lunch to save on money. His favourite inventions are small, yet useful household items. He invented a machine that warms up bread just right. Unfortunately, not many people are interested in these kinds of things. He's sweet and caring, but also naive. Has a secret dirty side to him. loves to be degraded for the useless aborted kid he is, depending on PC to pay off his debt. Doesn't care if you cum or not, if he's done he's done.
Uri Gabriel (or Uriel)- the banished
a fallen angel banished from heaven for loving someone other than God. his greatest sin was to love his partner. He fell from grace because they told on him to repent. Uriel fell, and swore to never fall in love again. He is cold and distant, intentionally pushing you away if you get too close. The only reason he even bothers interacting with you, is because you save him from the church during your first meeting. He's dominating, he's course and rough, swears a lot during sex. You're his cocksleeve, at best. unless he actually starts developing feelings... he will become more sweet once he admits his love for you. doesn't care if you cum during sex. you're his toy, at best. why would he care?
One of my favourite weirdo greens, Codium setchelii (aka smooth spongy cushion? apparently?)
It's in the same genus as the familiar dead man's fingers/stag seaweed (Codium fragile) but forms a weird, brain-like mat on the rock instead of an upright, branched thallus. It has the same weird texture though!
Undersea Liverwort
This is not actually a liverwort at all, but a type of green algae. I believe Codium fragile, “Dead man’s fingers” is the species.

Codium tomentosum
Velvet Horn, Spongeweed
Apparently it has the texture of felt!

look at this itty bitty little baby Codium growing on one of my Chamberlainium fragments 🥺🥺
(for scale, that entire piece of crust is maybe ~1cm wide)
