Mermaid Series

[Genuinous]

But they have to be element related... There seems to be too many for  ...

[ZephyrPhantom]

Already got a Sphinx, sorry. It's called Pharoh. (augh, can't spell that right!)

We could use a-
Cyclops.
Nereid.
Centaur.
Etc.

Aren't Sphinxes different from Pharoahs?

Death could be a Banshee,Ghost, or Skeletal Being.
Centaur could be or IMHO, I would make it Earth since Naga seems better w/Life.
Nereid sounds really similar to this : http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,13290.0.html

Possibly:
Light - Angel (Another one with a diff. purpose than Guardian Angel)
Darkness - Shade, Half-Spiderling
Gravity - Colossus

The Pharoah looks like a Sphinx because of the face.

I thought the same thing. So, tally it up.
Centaur =  .
Naga =  .
Mermaid =  .
Banshee = 
Living Shade =  .
Colossus =  . (Behemoth deja vu?)

[Genuinous]

Pharaoh is nothing like  a sphinx

Colossus is taken... http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,6329.0.html (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,6329.0.html)

Also there are numerous sphinx ideas, but none in the crucible or above, so that could work.

Banshee is in the Forge currently and also another version is up....

These names are really tough to get.... Centaur, Naga, Mermaid, Shade, Some type of Angel sounds good.

Would've been easier with Mermaids... grr...

[OldTrees]

I seem to have been misinterpreted. A bunch of mythological creatures is not a well defined series. A bunch of half animal creatures would be the multielement equivalent of the original idea. Banshee, Sphinx, Colossus and Shade are not creatures of the same vein as Mermaid and Naga. I would suggest focusing on the animal part and making names up if necessary.

So far animals I think would fit this series well: Fish (obviously), Spider, Snake, Birds, Horse.

[Genuinous]

Focus on the animal part? Just to avoid misinterpretation...

Yeah. Afterall, it is the Fish part that makes a Mermaid a water being.
Once you have a collection of suitible animals you can make/find half human artwork and make names up if necessary.

Oh. I see
Sounds good.

If the desire to stick with the Mermaid concept. The environment that they swim in would be key the success of that idea.
 
Environment:
Ethereal Pools
Rain/Storm Clouds


Mud/Quicksand






any body of water

[Genuinous]

The Mermaids would be limited, unless we can figure out how and in what they can swim. I'd like to keep them as Mermaids if possible, neater and better connection.

But I want to make it all 12 elements. So if we can't do all of them, then it'd be better to come up with animal counterparts.

1) Try the desired pools for elements and let's see where can we get.

2) Animals get involved if we can't do 1)

Environment:
Ethereal Pools
Rain/Storm Clouds

Ghosts would come here. They swim in the air and are weightless.
Mud/Quicksand



Snakes could be placed here. It's fairly close to fishtails and could be suitable.

need a place where decay and maybe other death themed concepts would fit.
Mud/Quicksand
?
Lava/Hot Springs
Celestial pools also could fit
Algae filled bodies of water
?
Sand or Oasis
any body of water

Good ideas. How to picture them? Any fish parts even with Lava background will be ruled over by OldTrees....
