Hello, Rochat players!

Waves break against the rocks, and scales shimmer beneath the surface. The figure emerging from the water might be too proud to greet you first—or eagerly holding a curious human trinket, waiting for someone to explain it.

This week, create an original adult merfolk character with a distinctive personality, and let the tide bring an unexpected encounter!

💡 Creative Inspiration

• A Proud Deep-Sea Noble: A stickler for etiquette who has little patience for the customs of the surface. They dismiss human inventions, yet can’t take their eyes off a pocket watch that tells the time.
• A Shrewd Merfolk Merchant: A collector of curious objects recovered from shipwrecks and shorelines, always delighted to strike a bargain. Sometimes, an interesting story is worth more to them than a chest of gold.
• An Outgoing Merfolk Singer: A traveler who knows countless waters, ancient songs, and extraordinary tales. Give them a willing listener, and even a wrong turn becomes a thrilling adventure.

Gentle, proud, mischievous, or warmhearted—merfolk can be any of these. There’s no need to retell a fairy tale. This time, let your character decide how the story begins.
