about

Somewhere far off in the future is our world where humans and supernatural beings called "Spirits" co-exist together. Ash, a young mermaid, recently obtained a pair of human legs in hopes of walking along with people on land. However, his newfound experience is filled with rejection- and to avoid the dangers of being hunted for myths that surround his kind, he finds himself isolated once again. Yet, he continues wishing for any opportunity to prove his trust in the world. On one night, his sign comes on a sinking ship with a soul far more lost than he is...

Hoping to update every week with 2 - 3 new pages.

🧭 ASH 🧭

Ash is the protagonist of Oceania.He's a gentle warm fellow, always curious about the world around him! He hopes he can enjoy life to the fullest and see many wonders the surface has to offer. After the "Sea Witch" granted him a pair of human legs, he hopes he can expand his horizon, as well as reconnect with those he was separated from.While he has a carefree demeanor, he's a rather cautious person. He wants to believe in the best in everyone first and foremost, but his naive trust in strangers have caused him more hurt than good. With his disabilities, while being an endangered and overhunted species, he finds himself often isolated. But, despite it all, he keeps a brimming positive outlook- after all, the world is so vast! Life is too short to sit and mull around!

🦈 TIBURON 🦈

Tiburon is the deuteragonist of Oceania.He presents as a suave young man, usually putting up a mysterious and aloof front, but may sometimes engage in jovial taunting or teasing. He prefers to be blunt, using concise sentences straight to the point, and tries to take advantage of situations to turn them in his favor. Although, sometimes the fluff being cut from his words makes it slightly confusing to follow along with what he means. This combination of traits makes it hard for him to open up to new people, and vice versa, to feel like they can trust him.He has some trouble regulating his emotions, and it's believed to be a result of his rough upbringing.
