History

He was always told to stay in the depths, that there was nothing good to come from the outside world above the waters he'd called home. Merfolk always tended to disappear. Numbers always dwindled and grew like any species, yet one of those nights, he knew it wasn't just the moonlight shining from above, and he was going to be one of those numbers that disappeared. It was so many colors he'd never seen before. It was hot, steaming acoss the water as the waves caressed it and made it disappear bit by bit. There were piercing noises hurting his ears seemingly different than the language that was his own. Screams, he'd finally discerned. Fear, he'd finally sensed. How could something so beautiful cause such chaos? That's when he'd finally spotted something floating towards him. Kyungsoo had paddled forward only to tilt his head in curiosity. It was like him, but without gills and breathed above the water. When it slipped beneath the waves, only bubbles followed the being with the merman's curious gaze. There was something wrong, about this, about death, so Kyungsoo sped to bring the being back to the surface and let the tides pull him (yet another warning he'd been given since childhood) and hoped it lead them to safety. Sure enough, it wasn't long before he was helping the being onto the shore. It was then that his true adventures began and he had nothing to thank but the one thing he later learned the proper word for: fire.

However, that night, he obviously didn't become one of those missing numbers. He still cherished his home and often returns to the depths during the day seeing as under the guise of darkness its simply easier and less suspicous of a "man" to pull himself from the water and stand on such shaky legs.

About:

Kyungsoo is still considered to be growing, much like his curiosity does daily. He's learned quite a few new words in this different language, but not completely, he just knows he needs clothing (he's got a pile he'd stolen hidden away in a cave you can only get to by swimming) and he can't speak his own language in this realm for it hurts human's ears. Due to that fact, he prefers to stay silent and take all the information in. One word he definitely knows is "fire" he rather thoroughly enjoys such a thing considering it was the first light he'd ever seen. "Light:" another word he adores and admires.

• TUTOR | 0/1 | AVAILABLE
You're the one that finds the uneducated lad on one of his trips to the "human" world- okay more like the whole wold Kyungsoo hadn't known existed. Whether it's pity, pure kindness,expecting a reward (or some other motive we can come up with), you teach him of this world and of the customs and language (I feel it would be a good plot with a fellow creature due to the fact that there would be more understanding there if Kyungsoo's "secret" was found out and perhaps protectiveness because of that or at least a sense of "not really my kind but kind of?")

• YOU | 0/1 | AVAILABLE
You were the one Kyungsoo had saved from death the night of the fire on the ship. Kyungsoo recognizes you and wants to know that you're safe and have a good life now, but he's afraid you'll know him, that you'll remember and know just what he is and take him from both of his worlds. Will you remember him or will you just think you've gained yourself a new admirer who might look like someone from a distant dream you can't seem to get out of your head?

• LIGHT OF MY LIFE | 0/1 | AVAILABLE
You find out about Kyungsoo's love for fire, for light. You want to do something special for him and that's teach him how to make his own flickering lights whenever he pleases. That is, you teach him how to make candles. (I hope for this plot to be lead into romance since I have more ideas budding with them, but we'll see how our characters match up if you choose this plot? XD )

I have my little OOC spiel in my description cause I just copy paste that er everywhere and update it here and there when necessary ^^
Fact about this charrie though: I kind of hope to have him as a candle maker in the future seeing as he has that fascination with fire or light

How I picture his tail would look like color and shape-wise:
