Yeah I'm on Valkyrie's boat (haha) mostly because there's an entire roster of beast-like races who aren't under the influence of the Hanging Star, and I think a non-corrupted aquarian race would only be common sense first, with Sly's idea alongside it perhaps. Both could easily be fluffed as a varied race due to the actual variety of wildlife within the ocean. Generally humanoid looking creatures with considerable aquatic influence probably makes more sense and puts it in line with some of the more interesting races like Naga and Hyattrs.

tl;dr regular fishies first, both can be varied enough for people to have a wide choice, though not so much that it's full on anthro stuff. At the risk of bias, http:///viewtopic.php?f=8&t=6854 has many good examples

I kinda don't want to have ANOTHER beast-like Kaelensian race because:
1. We have 6 Kaelensian races (5 if you mix Felidae/Grimalkin together as one), all while Dev was considering adding a bear-type Kaelensian race during the day the screenshot was taken. (All he needs is icons, by the by!)
2. Corrupted really need more love outside of what we have thus far.

It kinda would make perfect sense if they were corrupted by those in similar fashion to Shaitan/Papilion, as how there's not always a guaranteed chance of them being corrupted by unknown sources. Nothing stops the Sirens from having some sort of knowledge of Mersales, even though I believe the place is just hidden via magic.

Also uh, not to sound rude or anything, but there's almost no difference between that topic and this one in terms of examples, some there actually look more anthro than what I posted. This one is a bit more detailed, alongside ideas for the race itself and Sly's idea for racial passives/stats/lore, which I highly like it!

As for the matter of regular ones, I kinda wanted to leave Sirens as the 'regular fish race' all while Corrupted, while another race like Mermaids, outside of Iahsus' influence to be added too, but that I believe would imply in another gender locked race, like Nagas.
