Samini
Pronunciation: Sah-me-nee
​
Avg. Lifespan: ~200 years
​
Home Domain: Gaia
​
Appearance:Upper body is human while lower body is a fish tail; their skin color variation is like humans, but their tail can come in many different colors and patterns; their eye color can be anything with round pupils; they have gills on their waist and in the inside of their noses to help them breathe underwater; they don’t have body hair(only the hair on their head, facial hair, and eyebrows); their ears are located inside their heads(like a fish)
​
Origin: Highly known for their alluring vocals, Samini are one of the most peaceful species in Gaia. All they want to do is explore, play games, dance and sing. Of course, there are some Samini that will play pranks on people, but they try to keep it as harmless as possible. They do not wish to harm their fellow fish friends or humans; in fact, they would help humans they come across(if they feel like they can trust them). Some Samini live among humans and other mythic beings on land. All they have to do is get out of the water and find a way to dry themselves off quickly(or just air dry) so that their tail can transform into legs and their gills disappear! If they ever want to come back to their home, all they'd have to do is just dive back in with nothing in the way of their legs. The sun is the Samini’s best friend, so daytime is the best time to find them if they’re not hiding.
​
Special Powers: Samini are expert swimmers. As long as they are in a body of water, it’ll be very difficult trying to land a hit on them or capturing them. If they feel cornered, they can always use their ability Serenade(the ability to sing and hypnotize anyone that listens). By using Serenade, Samini can command their listener(s) to do whatever they want… they just have to sing it. Samini aren’t born with any magical powers, so they would have to either drink a potion or go through a lot of training.
