And because I'm seemingly pathologically unable to resist games like this, I'll be joining in as well after some consultation with Nicktaken.  My character's sheet is below; the tl:dr is that she's a shark-bred merfolk brawler able to shift to a more humanoid form thanks to an amulet she was gifted by a druid friend.<br/><br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;"><span style="font-weight: bold">Name:</span> Anya Redwater<br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Age:</span> 23<br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Gender:</span> Female<br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Species:</span> Shark-bred merfolk<br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Race:</span> Tiger shark<br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Origin:</span> Reefs and shoals offshore<br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Lifestyle:</span> Originally picked up as an underwater scout, fighter, and cook for a group of pirates, she now works as a mercenary and guard for those who want her particular brand of 'proactive protection'.<br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Appearance:</span> Due to an amulet a close friend gave her (see Inventory below), she is capable of shifting between her original full-tailed form and one with legs that allows her to move about on land easier.  While on land, she typically wears little more than simple clothes to satisfy the bare minimum for decency; any more both inhibits her while swimming and has a tendency to fray and tear on her skin.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Physique:</span> 6<br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Agility:</span> 5<br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Mind:</span> 4<br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Perception:</span> 5<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Skills:</span> 2 Grappling, 3 Swimming, 2 Cooking<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Talents:</span><br/>  Aquatic - Although she can breathe both air and water, Anya needs to rehydrate herself regularly if she spends significant time out of water.<br/>  Rough Skin - Trying to hold on to Anya can end badly for others, to say nothing of what might happen if someone tries to swallow her.<br/>  Tireless - Used to swimming long distances without rest, Anya's stamina is impressive, able to sustain hours of constant activity.<br/>  Living Trash Disposal - Although she much prefers better-quality food, Anya's tiger shark heritage allows her to safely eat almost anything she can fit in her mouth.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Abilities:</span><br/>  Blood in the Water - The scent of blood, especially underwater, can drive Anya into a full frenzy if she isn't careful.  While affected, her Physique and Agility go up by one, but her Mind goes down by two.<br/>  Tail Slam - Anya knows how to throw her weight around in a fight, and can either knock down or stun unprepared opponents.<br/>  Grip of Iron - When she needs to, Anya can make sure that whatever tasty meal she's holding on to can't get away from her, but it quickly drains her strength.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Inventory:</span> A pair of fighting claws (effectively brass knuckles studded with steel spikes), cooking supplies (knives, spices, etc.).  Her only item of any true worth is an enchanted amulet, given to her by a druid friend that allows her to change into a two-legged form (she still retains a fairly significant tail in this form).  She knows how dependant she is on it, so she usually carries it on a tight lanyard she's strung through the gills on one side of her neck.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Character's Limits:</span> Up for most things, although you're going to need to really work at convincing her to be prey. No really unconventional vore (hair and other out-of-body types).<br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Player's Limits:</span> PvP fighting with potential for character death, unless explicitly and publicly agreed to beforehand.  Saves a lot of confusion and bad feelings all around.<br/><br/>Anya was born far below the surface of the water, but unlike most of her kin showed more interest in the activities of the surface folk beyond their potential for an easy meal now and then. Eventually coming to an understanding with a group of pirates, she worked with them for several years, trading her expertise under the water for a chance to see how those above water lived. The group eventually met its end at the hands (and stomachs) of privateers, but Anya had seen the trouble coming and had already bailed. Since then, she has served both as a guard for more undiscriminating clients with sea-based interests, as well as cooking for a fairly successful small harbor tavern specializing in fish dishes of all kinds.</div></div></div>
