Role: Airis Prince
Kingdom: Airis
Kingdom Background: Since the time of its founding several hundred years ago, Airis, Kingdom of the Seas, has become a mystery and an enigma to all but the mother Kingdom of Elphanor with whom it trades with exclusively. Unknown to most of the other Kingdoms (supposedly Elphanor included), Airis has an underwater section to its Kingdom to which it houses a myriad of peoples known as the Selkie, people which can transform the lower half of their bodies into that of a sea animal when exposed to water. The type of animal is predetermined from birth and is always random, even ignoring the DNA of the parents completely on occasion. These people live most of their lives underwater but can survive on land when the situation calls for it. When on land, they are seen with a normal pair of human legs and their gills almost disappear since their bodies don't need to extract oxygen from water.
Despite the slight differences between the two worlds within Airis, the people live comfortable lives in much the same way the nobles and royals do. Where the Royal Family enjoys the high life in the Castle, the commoners enjoy fairly large and spacious homes of their own and usually enjoy the family business as well. Not very many people in Airis can be considered poor since most of them are involved in some sort of business venture which they either run solo or with the entire family.
The court system within Airis is run in a democratic Senate form, with officials elected by the people to handle public and private affairs within Airis. The officials who are elected remain in office for a single three year term and are allowed to run for reelection once for a total of six years in office. Once that time limit has been reached, they are no longer allowed to take an official seat again. The Senate itself is comprised of eight officials, each with their own area of expertise such as communication with other nations, trade, national maintenance of buildings and canal systems for traveling within the cities, etc. The Senate is headed by a single Chancellor who holds the final decision, much like a judge in a courthouse would over the jury. The King and Queen have a single adviser who handles their personal business and who serves as something of the Royal Family's private errand boy on occasion. The Royal Family sits above all in authoritative power, but never the less must consult with the Senate before enacting any laws or official business.
Age: 20
Race: Selkie (Great White Shark)
Description: Xei is fairly tall, standing at 5' 11 inches in height and weighing about one hundred and eighty five pounds. He has long light brown hair that falls to the middle of his back with luscious bangs that fall just above his soulful brown eyes. He often wears very simple clothing despite being the Prince of his Kingdom, and is often teased by his family for wearing such clothing. He is almost always wearing sandals and spends much of his time out of the water despite his Selkie blood, and he prefers it that way. He has long and slender limbs due to the fact that he does not engage much in physical activity other than simple self defense classes which are mandatory for those of noble birth.
When he transforms beneath the water into his White Shark form, his forearms grow long serrated fins that he can wield as weapons in underwater combat and he grows a long white shark tail that lengthens his body to around 9'. He is incredibly fast and agile underwater and is a force to be reckoned with given the White Shark blood running through his veins
Abilities:
*Transformation: Lower body transforms into that of a Great White Shark and his height/length increases to approximately eight feet, his forearms grow serrated fins along the forearm which mimic the teeth of a white shark.
*White Shark Speech: Can communicate with the Great White Sharks of the seas
*Hand to hand combat: Despite his light frame and lack of raw physical power he is a fluid and well versed combatant at close range and has the skills to defend himself when necessary.
