#GURPS #TerrorTuesday: The Water People

The Nixie. The Nicor. The Nykur. Fossergrim. The water people have many names, and are found in nearly every kind of water, from the deepest oceans to the shallowest pools. A faerie folk, they have bonded with the waters of our world, and even their hidden homes are in our waterfalls and pools. They are creatures of their element, with even their flesh being water, although it does not always seem so, for they can shift their shape to appear many different ways, from horse, to mermaid, to man or woman. Always beautiful, in any form, they are capricious, and dislike mortals, who are noisy, and disrespect the natural waters. Like the sea itself, they can be spiteful and cruel, and lure folk to the waters with their beauty and enchanting songs...there to drown them, by touch, by luring into the deeps, by holding the hapless mortals head under the water, if they must. Their flesh ripples and changes with the water, taking on the coloration of their background, even to their 'clothes', which are really just a projection of their liquid flesh. Some may be mages, with great spells of enchantment or control of the waters, but they are all supreme musicians and dancers, the music of the waters channeling through their voices and limbs. The sounds of churchbells hurt them, and they dislike the reminder of this that all bells give them. Like all the fae, iron is their bane.
