Introduction


20 YEARS AGO...
A flashing red alert light appeared on a phone reciever in the head office of the government institute, a sign meaning urgent information. The big boss' lazy eyes lumbered over to it and he reached a chubby hand out to the phone, lifting it to his ear, nose up high and nostrils flaring. "What is it?" He asked in a heavy baritone voice.
"You would never believe it! We may be on the verge of something spectacular! Some-some-something AMAZING! It's beyond what we could ever DREAM of happening! Oh God, oh lord, it-it-it could be the start of a brand new era!" The big wig holding the phone tightly pulled it away from his ear a little, still able to hear the excitable rants of the excitable man down the other side of the phone, pinching his temples with his free hand and rubbing them slowly. I always have to work with the crazies...
"What is it now?"
"MERMAIDS! WE-WE FOUND A MERMAID!"
At this information, the wide man's narrow eyes became enlarged in shock. Maybe this was their big break through. This segment, the segment of the government based around searching for the supernatural, it hadn't managed to find any proof, ever. Maybe this was it. Their moment! "Where? How? When?! Oh this is marvelous news! You must bring her back to base immediately!"
The other end of the phone fell silent for a moment before he heard a nervous cough. "Aha, yes, bring her back..." The big wig's excitement slowly fell. "Well, we kinda got overexcited, and... she swam away... got scared... Sorry boss, but it was just something we hadn't expected. We never thought we'd actually find one."
The big wig blinked a couple of times, before sighing and falling back into his large leather chair, closing his eyes. "Well, it looks like I'll need to send some more qualified people out to this island. There must be more nearby. Where are you destinated again?"
"Maziah island."
"Maziah island..." The big wig nodded and then sat up. "Well, we'll need to send out nets, tracking gear and diving tanks. All we need is one mermaid. One mermaid is all we need. Even if we need to break it's tail and limbs in order to get it contained."
"Break its tail?! Oh no, we-we can't! We can't damage something so delicate-"
"This no longer has anything to do with you. You failed, it is no longer your job to find them." The large man put the phone down and breathed heavily, before, with a struggle, got to his feet and slumped towards the door. "I need to find my best specialists... I'm not letting this one go."
***************
This is exactly what happened, traced back in history, after four specialists were sent out (Two couples) told to capture the mermaids as soon as they found them. The team got to work at finding the mermaids in question, investigations seeming to go nowhere as the merfolk seemed to stay away from the surface, therefore keeping out of sight of the humans. This didn't do wonders for government research.
However, the team soon began to enjoy living on Maziah island, and built more hospitable home for themselves, building beach-shack way above the ocean shore

Here the two couples have built their own families, though it doesn't seem like two seperate families. Merely one big family with two mothers and two fathers. There are now four children, knowing the ways of the island and not knowing it any other way. They have no internet and basically a radio and books to read, sketches to be drawn, and other such things to entertain themselves. The main way to entertain, is the water. Surfing, swimming, diving, discovering underwater artifacts, collecting shells and so much more. It seems their means of catching merfolk is far forgotten. They've come to accept the facts that they do not exist.
Ha. Won't it be a surprise when their kids discover them...
***************
So here's the dealio, Kids knowing that their parents are a part of a government institute is nada. Therefore,
When kids discover them, Fantastical discovery!
When adults discover them, call up the government troops and mermaids are trapped in nets and sent back to the institute for dissecting. Comprende?
The families are made up of one mother, one father, one son, and one daughter. Girl 1 goes with boy 1 and Father 1 and Mother 1 etc. etc. It doesn't really matter about the merfolk if they're related or not. BUT! Please only claim 1 character.
