Can I join with my OC Arion Neptune? Singing is a pretty solid part of his life (though among his interests swimming is definitely his top thing) and I feel like his friends would push him to join and try out for this! He's never really had any formal training in singing (mer society, while big on singing, isn't big on professional singing; it's just something everyone does at what ever skill level they're born at and no one really judges each other on singing ability alone) so he'd probably see it as a really great opportunity to hone this skill of his that he's naturally talented at.

In a similar vein I'd also like to submit Circe Cecaelia into the competition; she's a fellow merperson like Arion and she has a lovely singing voice... but she never really shows it, having been shunned and made self-conscious her whole life. She's very shy when it comes to her singing, and Arion is trying to push her to let her talent shine more. I think he'd find that once he joined he'd push Circe to join as well since he thinks it'll help her build confidence. (I seem to be on a "give-Circe-more-self-confidence" RP kick lately.)
