CUBEBRUSH World Building Month
For the first time ever, Cubebrush will have a worldbuilding competition. Think of this like an game jam but art only.
You can team up with others to exchange ideas with one another and work together on your epic art pieces. Team sizes can be 2 - 4
Brief: Humans vs Mermaids and mer people/creatures.
Synopsis: In a world of mermaids with magic, the seas are ruled by powerful sorceresses who control the tides and the weather. They are able to communicate with sea creatures and work with them to build or fight in battle.
The mermaid society is highly stratified, with the most powerful sorceresses living in grand underwater palaces and ruling over those with lesser magical abilities. Despite this hierarchy, the mermaids all work together to maintain balance in the ocean and protect their home from outside threats.
One day, a group of explorers from the surface world stumble upon the mermaid kingdom while looking for unexplored ruins and rare items, but they are killed. The mermaids use their powers to lure them deeper underwater and drawn them. A faction called the O.M.H.S aka Oceanic Mermaid Hunter Society is formed to battle the mermaids and protect humanity. The mermaids must use all their magic and resources to defend their home and prevent the outsiders from discovering their secrets.
Mermaids power ideas:
1. A mermaid who has the ability to control the weather, with the power to stir up a storm or bring calm to the seas.
2. A mermaid who can transform into different sea creatures depending on her mood or needs.
3. A mermaid who possesses a magical singing voice, able to lull creatures to sleep or inspire them to action.
4. A mermaid who can entrance humans and lure them into the water with her hypnotic dance.
5. A mermaid with the power to heal, able to cure injuries and illnesses with a touch of her tail.
6. A mermaid who can control the growth of marine life, making seaweed or coral flourish or decay at will.
7. A mermaid who can create and control bubbles, using them for transport or trapping enemies.
8. A mermaid who can become invisible, able to move undetected in the water and on land.
9. A mermaid who can teleport, able to move quickly between different bodies of water around the world.
10. A mermaid who can summon and control sea monsters, using them as protectors or weapons.
What are Sailors looking for?
Sailors are looking for resources to better the surface world. Some are looking for treasure or to hunt giant sea creatures. The humans want to build better machines, armors and ships. One day they discover a rare ore that protects them from different mermaid magic such as their music magic.
