Ok so this boy is pretty new, but he needed a bio bc I love him already. His mom was a siren, his dad was a werewolf. They fell in love, and one full length seven book series of novels later they had a baby, raised him until 15, and died. Humans killed them, for being ‘monsters’. Luckily, werewolf’s do not differ from humans once dead and merfolks bodies decompose far faster than humans so there was never evidence of monsters existing. Max wasn’t too shaken up, though. His parents tried, but were kinda bad at being parents. “Werewolf alphas don’t cry, boy, toughen up, if you ever wanna lead a pack!” (Dad, as Max has a mental break down) “Come ON! ALL merfolk can use their gills! Just... TRY HARDER!” (Mom, actively forcing Max under water before his gills worked because she wanted them to work already) “Just kill him, Maxie! Go for the throat! Bite his ear, come /on/ Max!” (Dad, forcing a 10 year old wolf form Max to fight a full grown lone werewolf so he can learn how to be a pack alpha) “Ok, look, just /sing/, while underwater. It’s simple, you’re a SIREN. As soon as someone pokes their head in the water, pull them down to the bottom and drown them. It’s so easy!” (Mom, trying to get Max to kill someone just bc he’s a siren) So, yeah, they weren’t very good at their job. Anyways, Max also hates his name, too “human” for his liking. So, most of the time, he introduces himself as ‘Mako’(may - ko). It’s more of a traditional merfolk name.
