Kori, the merfolk ruler of the Water Lands, is a striking figure with his green plated skin that shimmers like the scales of a fish under the ocean's surface. His piercing yellow eyes, reminiscent of the sun's reflection on water, convey both wisdom and a fierce determination. His long turquoise hair flows like the gentle waves of his domain, often adorned with pearls and shells that signify his royal status. Kori's attire is both functional and majestic; he wears blue pants with armor that mimics the scales of a fish, trailing down to merge seamlessly with his long, powerful tail. Fins adorn his arms, legs, and head, enhancing his aquatic agility and giving him an otherworldly appearance.

As the sovereign of the Water Lands, Kori rules alongside his sister, Aqua, with a fair yet firm hand. Their leadership was challenged when barbarian enemies attacked their kingdom, capturing Kori while Aqua escaped to seek aid. The ordeal was a testament to Kori's resilience and leadership; even in captivity, he strategized and inspired hope among his people. With the help of a group of adventurers rallied by Aqua, Kori led the counterattack that not only freed him but also restored their kingdom to peace. In gratitude, Kori pledged his allegiance and support to the group's ongoing mission, showcasing his honor and commitment to alliances.

Kori's unique quirk is his melodious voice, which carries the soothing tones of the ocean's lullabies, capable of calming even the most turbulent of spirits. His motivation stems from a deep-seated desire to protect his people and maintain the harmony of his realm. The conflicts in his life are not only external, such as battles against invaders, but also internal, as he grapples with the responsibilities of leadership and the fear of failing his people. Through his journey, Kori learns the value of alliances and the strength found in unity, culminating in a strengthened resolve to lead his kingdom into a prosperous future.
