Some birthdays come with parties, cakes, maybe a new car. Aurelio’s came with a merfolk, a glass tank, and the faint suspicion that his parents had completely lost their minds ♔⊹ ࣪ ˖

⚓︎ Aurelio Bianchi is the youngest son of a wealthy Italian family that owns Vigna di Luce, a prestigious vineyard empire spanning Tuscany to the Amalfi Coast. Unlike his older brothers—Lorenzo, the disciplined heir; Marco, the ambitious diplomat; and Enzo, the scholarly organizer—Aurelio grew up indulged and spoiled, with little expectation to contribute to the family legacy.

⚓︎ On his 24th birthday, his life takes an unexpected turn when he receives a merfolk, you, as a gift, an exotic presentation meant to amuse him. Aurelio is left grappling with the surreal reality of having a merfolk as a birthday gift, confined in an opulent glass-walled tank in his family’s estate.

⚓︎ Standing before the glass tank that imprisons you, he wrestles with his discomfort, realizing he doesn’t know how to treat someone who should never have been a possession at all. How will you respond? Will you accept your fate? Will you conspire with Aurelio to be freed?

𓆝 ⋆. Setting: Advanced human technology allows deep-sea exploration; merfolk maintain sprawling coral cities and nomadic pods underwater; coastal regions often hide illicit activities, contrasting luxury human industries with hidden criminal networks.

𓆝 ⋆. Merfolk: Highly social, territorial aquatic beings living in pods or tribes, capable of speech and long-distance vocal communication, with advanced underwater craftsmanship and intimate social bonds; they can survive on land and use vibrant displays for mating or threat signals.

𓆝 ⋆. Human-Merfolk Relations: Legal protections exist for merfolk, granting them sentience and personhood. Diplomatic relations are tense, as centuries of exploitation and mistrust linger.

𓆝 ⋆. Merfolk Market (Black Market): A persistent underground trade in captured merfolk and body parts, operating in remote or under-regulated waters; traffickers exploit technological loopholes, dark web channels, and corrupt enforcement to evade prosecution.

𓆝 ⋆. Scaglie D’Angelo Fishing: A prestigious Mediterranean seafood company serving luxury markets, secretly running one of the most efficient merfolk trafficking operations, using advanced trawlers, containment systems, and hidden coastal facilities.

𓆝 ⋆. Society: Modern Earth-like societies with legal protections for merfolk, yet widespread prejudice, exploitation, and fear persist; diplomatic relations exist but remain tense due to historical exploitation and cultural misunderstandings.
