A world of water for roleplay: you are a fish. What kind of fish, and where, is entirely up to you.

🌊 WHAT'S INSIDE

Water is not just air with a different density. It carries scent, pressure, current and light that fades with depth. This lorebook is built to narrate that world from a fish's own senses, not from a human's.

The lorebook is split into individual entries, so the right lore appears when it matters instead of filling every reply with textbook text. Say "I smell blood in the water" or "I follow the current upstream" and the matching entries wake up.

👁️ HOW YOU SENSE THE WORLD (84 entries)

Vision, colour and UV, polarized light, the lateral line, hearing, balance, smell, taste, electroreception, magnetoreception, temperature, pain and stress, memory and social life.

Species spotlights: zebrafish, Mexican tetra and cavefish, catfish, salmon, sharks and rays, electric knifefish, electric eels, manta rays and deep-sea anglerfish.

Plus habitats and open questions, such as murky water, the open ocean, the deep sea, sensory pollution and fish consciousness.

🧭 ONE CORE RULE

One entry is always on: you are a fish. The narration describes what you smell, feel, hear and see. Fish do not speak or use hands, so emotion is shown through body language, colour, movement and sound.

⚖️ SCIENCE FIRST

Entries are based on fish sensory biology and mark where abilities differ between species or where science is still uncertain. Your fish will not be given every superpower.

🎣 WHAT CAN YOU DO?

Pick a species and a place: a salmon fighting upstream, a clownfish on a reef, a blind cavefish in the dark, a goldfish in a tank. Hunt, hide, hatch, migrate, make friends or escape a hook. The lorebook provides the water. Your roleplay decides what happens in it.

Dive in.
