Calypsos & Viviens

In their human form, we have a humanoid form and skeletal structure.  When they go into their true forms, we have the skeleton structure of a partial aquatic animal or fish and the partial skeleton structure of a humanoid.  It depends on the kind of aquatic animal the Calypso or Vivien is if there are numerous other limbs or not.  In some instances, such as the anglerfish, the female is bigger than the male and the male is attached to the female in some form.

The average life span is 4,000 years.  They can push their life expectancies a little further despite the water pollution.  Their height in true form depends on the kind of aquatic animal they are.  Whale calypsos are larger than their human forms.  Average weight is different between the human form and their true form.  Same with average length.  Again, it greatly depends on the aquatic animal they are.  Eels, skates, fish, and some stingray calypsos can also manipulate lightning.

The species is humanoid and usually reproduces sexually.  Some types such as the anglerfish calypso might reproduce somewhat differently, considering the female is vastly larger than the male.  In those cases, they will reproduce similarly to the aquatic animal they are of.  The same is for the viviens.  The gestation is up to 8 1/2 to 9 months for a baby to form.  Doctors are informed what kind of calypso and vivien the individual is before a couple tries for children.

An individual increases in age every one year.  Like humans, they enter adolescence when they are around nine years old through thirteen years old.  Maturation lasts well into their twenties around the twenty-four years mark for males and twenty-two years mark for females.  They stop aging from there on.

The optimal environment for the species is along the shorelines and islands when in human form.  There are underwater settlements within the water.  They are better off in the bodies of water they surround for their own health.  Many try to climb the echelons in jobs to earn a good amount of money so they have a private beach.  While others attempt to swim in the water during off-season.  Many calypsos and viviens need the water to survive.

It depends on the aquatic animal or fish that the Calypsos and Viviens are.  Some are herbivorous, while others are omnivorous or carnivorous.  They do their best to blend in with human society on land.  They do not have to when they live in the underwater cities and settlements.  Much of the Calypsos and Viviens feed off of blood as well, preferably human blood.

Some can take the heat and some can take the cold.  They blend in with society, however, they populate the shorelines of many bodies of water.  Some getting out of the water are mystified by the changes of the seasons, especially the leaves shedding in autumn and the flowers blooming in spring.  Some even come from underwater cities and settlements.  Some coral and marine plants have similar seasonal changes to above the surface and on land.  It depends on the temperature of the water.  For Viviens and Calypsos, it depends on the kind of fish or aquatic animal they are.

It really depends on the calypso or vivien.  Some are ambitious and take on leadership roles.  They are often courageous and take risks with a smile.  While others, are shy and hide from strangers or keep their noses down.  It really depends on the individual and the kind of calypso or vivien they are.  They are strong willed and will not take their predators bullshit when they are the prey or being antagonized.  They are like sailors and mariners on the water; strong-willed, no-nonsense, and practiced in what they will do in retaliation.

Depends on the aquatic animal half of the calypso and vivien.  For example, orca calypsos are part of a pod and are ruled by a matriarch.

They can domesticate themselves, but their love of the water outshines most priorities.

Scales, an understanding of the electrocution of predators, cadavers for understanding anatomy, skeletons, and parts of hybrids that can be used for regents in alchemy, science, and medicine.

It depends on the calypso or viviens.  Some fish have odd snouts and noses.  It may or may not appear in the humanoid part of a calypso's or vivien's true form.  As an example, Asari is an elephantfish, some of his people may have the snout that gave them the name while others have an aetheric version of it.  The trunklike snout is part of an average elephantfish's mouth.

They are all over the globe in various water bodies, even the ones you are not sure they are in.  They are definitely in there.  Viviens are found in the freshwater bodies on the Isles.

Their average intelligence is about on par with other humans, but they have heightened intelligence beyond the average human genius.

Heightened senses, especially underwater.  Being able to breathe underwater.  Swimming is greatly heightened thanks to their aquatic animal parts.  Some calypsos and viviens can do echolocation depending on what aquatic animal they are.  They excel in water magic and calling in the storms at sea and out on the water.  They also call upon tsunamis and can cause other natural disasters as necessary.  They do have arcane senses but they need to activate it with invocation instead of simply just using it like a regular psychic.  Some calypsos and viviens can use lightning manipulation.

The usual plus any parasitic species that attack humans and other land-dwelling inhumans.  Barnacles can inconvenience a great deal of calypsos.

In ancient times, names were usually given to a child via the Calypso language.  Names were given solely based on the power, strength, beauty, and majesty of the bodies of water in the world.  The children will get to an age where they will pick out a human alias based on the names used by humans in various ancient cultures.  This is usually around the start of their adolescence.  In those days, the child can transform into their human form and explore the land above the surface.  Once they are done with their traveling or survived their lessons in the human world, they come back to the water and their family and pick an adult name in the Calypso language.

  This is not the case anymore as many calypsos and viviens have escaped the water for their survival from fishers and paranormal researchers.  Many now choose names that are indicative of the human culture they have settled into.

It truly depends on the individual calypso and vivien.  Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  How well one adapts to the human culture around them is also beauty to a calypso and vivien, but also how one stands out in a group of people at the same time.  They get a bit of a laugh when humans and other races try to dress in mermaidcore.  They are usually tickled and try to help the individual with a few tips.

It truly depends on the individual calypso and vivien.  Gender is subjective to a person.  It usually does not matter but the soul inside counts more.  They do not quite understand the humans' ever-changing gender ideals.  All genders are created equal as far as they are concerned.

It truly depends on the individual calypso and vivien.  Some wish for a courtship before they get involved with another.  Others want to play around and promptly go right into sexual relations.  Calypsos and viviens are sensual people.

It truly depends on the individual calypso and vivien.  Some wish for a relationship while others want a situationship.  Calypsos and viviens are sensual people.  Some might prefer more partners than just one.

The same or similar to humans and other inhuman races of Terra, but not as technologically advanced as the Vesperians.  Calypsos and Viviens tend to use magic in their technology or enchant their technology to perform better.  Very few land dwellers are ever given the chance to breathe underwater thanks to the Calypsos and Viviens.

Other languages that are going on the decline are the Calypso language and the Vivien dialect.  Scholars and historians of the inhuman variety are doing their best to save variants of the language and dialects before they completely die off because of a much-needed adaptation into human society.

It depends on the culture or area the calypso or vivien is a part of.

Calypsos and viviens do not have a dress code.

It originates in the body of water or the ocean they are originally from.

In ancient times, adolescent children would explore the land dwellers' after giving themselves a human alias.  They would learn much about the surface world and try to survive it until they are called back to the body of water which they are from.  That is not the case anymore, because calypsos and viviens were eventually forced to live among humans.

They refuse to hurt children of other races.
