[once again please don’t mind the atrocious gramma and spelling, I never really proof-read my low quality comics]

Not me going back through my folders and finding an infamous second son merman au.

Well, here it is for the maybe 2 only active infamous fans. It’s the H2O rules, for those who are confused. Also I love the idea of mer people being HUUUUGE.

[please ignore the terrible spelling and grammar, this was never meant to actually be seen]

Wanna see old art for a cross-over no one asked for?? No? Well too bad! Also Riley may or may not be my favourite survivor in FC3.

So… what would Delsin and Riley’s ship name be? Rilsin? Delsey? Rare-pairthatwasnevermeanttobe?

It’s canon that Del’s eyes change depending on what power he’s using, I just added smokey detail. The other pair is Riley’s eyes.

More infamous second son merman au content??? More likely than you think. (Again, mind the spelling and grammar, I didn’t think I would upload this)

Reggie 👏 deserves 👏 more 👏 appreciation 👏

I did this around the same time as the other comic (a very long time ago) but I just decided to post it cuz why not.

Woah, more of this au no one cares about????? I think you’re gonna hate the answer-

I love the world building of different supernatural beings having different diets. Also, that’s probably the best drawing I’ve done of someone eating something.

The truth is, I have so many doodles with this au I just never posted, and from time to time I’ll be like “meh, may as well post some more”. So these were actually made a long time ago, so that’s why this au art may not be as skilled as my more recent art.

GIVE ME ALL THE DOODLES!

I love the merman au

Especially the stuff with Reggie

Shjsbdoendhdiensiwn please take this comic I did as a gift. Context; Delsin, Eugene, and Fetch are all mers, but Eugene and Fetch really don’t like humans at all, so they have to come up with discreet and obscure ways to get to areas.

I love drawing Reggie’s slow descent into madness because of his brother 😂

Don’t mind me, just had the random inspiration to start drawing some of this au again.

Moral of the story, please don’t give naval bombs to young merfolk.

[i’m reblogging this cuz my reply is too long]

@kingbob2-0 thank you so much, I’m so glad you like it! As for the story, I don’t have much figured out but basically, Desmond comes from an ancient family of assassin mers. Since humans don’t know of the existence of mers, they use bodies of water to hide from both their targets and the templars. Although humans are unaware of the assassins, mers have knowledge of their existence. But that’s not to say they know where they reside or who their targets are. This is ok for the assassins because mers are normally incredibly solitary and don’t breach further than their own pods (with few exceptions). Which means that the mer population act more like tribes than one big society, therefore, mers don’t normally get targeted by the assassins, and mers rarely ever communicate with humans.

Like I said, there are a few exceptions to their solitary behaviours, and that’s school. And this is where Desmond meets Delsin. I had actually done some work on this, but keep in mind that what I’m about to show you was done a long time ago so there may be inconsistencies or somthin’ like that. [also, cuz my hand writing is shit, I’ll write down what it says under the pic.]

The school, Dolphin’s Trench

Quite far off the coast of hawaii

Works as a pre school, middle and high school, and university

It’s quite normal for merfolk to attend a school until they’re 35 (cuz they live a lot longer than humans)

Pre school; 8-12. Middle school; 12-19. High school; 19-29. University; 19-35

The schools are more relaxed and normally don’t force students to go, unlike human schools.

There are schools all over the seven oceans, and seas/giant lakes.

Mer studies

Some normal stuff like maths and history (though [history] divided between humans and mers)

But mer studies have a lot more available from the diversity of its schools and the amount of time mers have to be in school.

Some of the new things are;

Magical combat

Melee combat

Weapons training

Aquatic survival

Vocal training

Cultures and traditions

Spell casting

Curses and possessions

Hunting and food prep

Social training

Mer textiles

Aquatic art.

[ next to it is the student name (del: Delsin, Fet: Fetch, Eug: Eugene, Ale: Alex, Des: Desmond, Aid: Aiden) and a cross means they struggle in the subject, line is neutral, tick is good at, and star is proficient in.]

Delsin doesn’t need to go to school at first, because the Institute of Merfolk Education (IME) doesn’t know about him. Not until he picks a fight with Augustine and wins. As a result, freeing dozens [of mers] and pushing her into temporary hiding. That’s when they all [Eugene and Fetch + the merfolk community] figure out that he was originally human, but he wasn’t ripped to shreds instantly since it [the power to become a merman] was gifted to him and he had no choice. Since he’s still alive, they give him quick praise [for defeating Augustine] before forcing into high school. Which he is definitely not happy about. Obviously he started slow because he’s never learnt this before, but with Eugene and Fetch’s help, he becomes decent in most subjects. He excels in combat, but unfortunately his smoke power doesn’t work underwater. Luckily, because he was human, he’s quick to master it above ground, like Augustine once did. It was the reason he was able to defeat her. The IME recognised his potential and offered (forced) him to be transferred to the best school in the ocean, Dolphin’s Trench. He had to tell his brother [of his forced departure], but before he could, his brother announced he had to go to Hawaii for a while. To train recruits or something. So Del didn’t have to tell him, but now he has to avoid him.

When Delsin got to the school, he was amazed by the scale and design. He very quickly met the star combat student Alex Mercer, who people say is the most powerful merman and could easily destroy the human and merfolk race (they’re right). Alex was very interested in Delsin, since he managed to defeat Augustine even though he’s had his powers for less than a year. He also met the top student Desmond Miles, who is the descendant of a very long line of assassins which are considered higher than royalty. Desmond doesn’t really care about Delsin, but he’s friendly enough.

Whew, ok text thing over. I really hate myself and my need to physically write on digital paper rather than a word document like a normal person. It could’ve taken a minute or so, but rather now it’s taken about an hour.

Ok, so back on track. The family of mer assassins were partially responsible for the opening of Dolphin’s trench, and every child of the family is forced to go into the school and graduate top of their classes, to make sure their successors continue on the family legacy. Like stated before, the family are more respected than any kind of royalty, and so Desmond is quite popular when it comes to the school. Not that Delsin would really knows and/or care about that. He’s just pissed off that he had to deal with highschool already, and when he thought he was finally free, he’s now been forced back into school, with the only other option being torn to shreds.

As for Alex Mercer, he’s just in school for the sake being entertained. He doesn’t really care about grades or friends, but it seems more fun than just swimming the vast ocean alone, with barely a fish to amuse him. So when Delsin came along, Alex starts to tease him, and provoke him for the sake of it. It’s not like he’s the typical bully -he’s not even that harsh- but Delsin would rather not be in his presence. On numerous occasions the two get into quite hefty fights that normally have to be broken up by a mer who can defend themselves well (eg, Desmond, or Cole.)

Did I mention that Cole is the combat teacher in the school? Delsin, Alex, and Desmond are all his students and every day Cole has to live on, he gets closer and closer to the conclusion that teaching just isn’t worth it. Imagine having those three together, in a class. No sane teacher would stay in that position.

After a while Alex, Del, and Des start to do things together (I don’t have many ideas now, I just know it’ll be things the IME would heavily disapprove of). But it’s not a constant group like how Delsin is with Fetch and Eugene.

This is the quick concept design I had for the school. Like it was built into a drop off, and maybe before they built the whole thing, the assassins used to use the natural caves that were in the cliff.

If anyone has any ideas for this au, feel free to go wild. I don’t have much development for it, and a very minimal linear timeline, so any add ons are greatly welcome. The only other thing I already have some development for is the fight and overthrowing of Augustine, but that’s very similar to the actual game, just in water, and out of the public eye.

I did these quite a while ago, and I will never finish them so here, have ‘em as they are.

Babyyyy

Evil.

Remember, Cole isn’t dead in this au. He’s just immensely disappointed in every decision Delsin, Alex, and Desmond have made.

Did I mention that I also wanted to integrate assassin’s creed & watch dogs into this au too? No? Well, now I have.

I JUST REALISED I CAN POST THIS NOW

I WAS SO EXCITED TO POST THIS WHEN I MADE IT, PURELY BECAUSE OF THE BUBLESSSSS

[for context, this is quite a while after Alex and Delsin met. He’s been transferred to Dolphin’s Trench and since he wasn’t able to properly say to Reg how he had to go, he has to avoid Reggie while he’s at Hawaii.]

“Normally turning into a mermaid/merman is a quite peaceful process which involves a moonpool on a full moon.

That’s how they did it in the show, at least, and Delsin wants his money back.

Alternative summary; Delsin falls into a cave and becomes a merman. But there’s a lot of pain and weird lore.”

Guess who finished the introductory fanfic of the mer au I made! Thank you to @kingbob2-0 for helping me with the reaction bit, I always struggle with them. Constructive criticism is greatly appreciated, I’m definitely not the best when it comes to realistic dialogue.

Also, here’s the idea I had for Delsin’s tail. It’d be cool if it changes colour when he becomes better/worse.

[TURN UP YOUR BRIGHTNESS SO YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE SOMETHING] it’s mermay so I may as well complete a h2o x infamous comic I’ve refused to finish cuz it includes a vehicle and I absolutely despise drawing them.

Reggie saw everything, but whether he believes what he saw is questionable.

Bonus;

It’s Eugene btw, since he’s the more heroic one even before Delsin finds him in the game. Also, my initial idea was to have him just pick up the car and put it back, but then I realised that even though the mer people are huuuge, they’re not big enough to just lift up a car and plonk it back onto the road. So instead he used a grapple invention he made, which not only fixes the problem, but it actually makes Eugene’s character more interesting. Plus I could use the grapple that was confiscated as a reason as to why Delsin and Eugene meet.

As you can probably tell, this au never truly leaves my mind. I may not draw it for long periods of time, but it’s not like other aus i abandon cuz I’m not in the fandom anymore. It’s probably cuz I’ve done so much world building that I don’t want to just leave it all behind. So don’t expect frequent updates, but know that they can come whenever and wherever.

Plus plus, I’m so so so proud of this lil shot of him, it’s probably the best dynamic pose I’ve done ( which isn’t that good but I acknowledge that it’s really good for me). Look at the physicsssssssss
