Sirens

Description

The origin of sirens is something of a mystery. Legends tell of the union of a woman and a long-lost sea god; still others suggest that sirens are the spirits of women fallen at sea, incarnated by their hatred, their voices cursed with the eldritch wonder of the never-ending ocean. The truth behind these legends is somewhat hard to discern, as few scholars have had the chance to interact with them, and fewer still have survived those encounters.
Sirens have very little contact with one another, preferring solitude and uncontested hunting grounds. When sirens do cross paths, they are almost inevitably drawn to fighting; whether this is due to a desire for food, or whether it is born of mutual jealousy, one will eventually overpower the other with their song. If the victim is not slain, they will instead be controlled, assuming a puppet-like disposition until they eventually waste away. Additionally, their power will be drawn into the victor, increasing the power and range of her song.
In these instances, the controlling siren is referred to as a Queen. Rather than hunting men, Queens hunt their own kind, subverting them and expanding their territory. Queens are immensely powerful creatures, possessing the ability to manipulate the weather and shift sea currents. They are also psychic powerhouses in their own right, able to inflict compulsions on even the most resilient minds.
Sirens prefer not to engage in direct combat. Rather, they tend to use their abilities to escape back to their home. Sirens can charm another creature and can damage their foe's intelligence. Some sirens use bows, slings or javelins as weapons and a small number carry magical javelins.

When creating a Siren, their alignment falls within Chaotic Neutral to Chaotic Evil. We encourage players wishing to break alignment arcs to journal their characters' experiences that lead up to it.
