November 2016 Project: Arethusa Atticus, Emissary of Nethunus
Not an entry, but a note.
Arethusa is not human. The entry I'm working on that describes him is too long to post as it will cover 1.5 pages of US Letter Paper (12 point font, single spaced).
He is basically an uplited dolphin. I didn't read the books and this particular creature was actually invented by my son. Here's my best attempt to briefly describe what Emissaries are:
Emissaries are intelligent dolphins that live in large groups. They worship Nethunus, a god of the oceans. Their society has evolved to produce devices that allow them to survive on land. They see their exploration of "the world above" as a part of honored service to their god.
They are psionically aware, but few have any powers beyond telepathy with other dolphins.
Some are gifted with the ability to telekinetically manipulate objects. They are called crafters as Nethunus calls them to create the devices emissaries need to interact with the world above.
Some are gifted with telepathy with non-dolphins. They are called to be defenders and hunters of dolphin cities.
A few share both gifts and much more. These select few are called by Nethunus to be Emissaries. They are equipped to go to the world above to help those in the world above that also worship Nethunus.
Walkers, those that live in the land above, treat Emissaries with reverence in deference to the gods. Emissaries, though, do not consider themselves more or less equal with any land-dweller.
Emissaries learn to use walker weapons and employ an array of weird powers to do the will of Nethunus. They are curious, carefree, and strongly bonded to their friends above and below.
