Siren

T
he 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.
Beauty of the Fey
Sirens are fey beasts. They resemble fish-like humanoid
women, and possess a unique trait of appearing
exceptionally beautiful to all humanoid races. They are
slightly shorter than humans on average, ranging from 5
feet to just over 6 feet tall. Sirens are born with a long tail
that, upon reaching maturity they gain the ability to
magically transform into a pair of human legs. If a siren's
human legs come into contact with a he legs change to the
tail. They can polymorph between a tail or feet, and have
slender builds weighing around 100 to 160 pounds. Their
coloration resembles that of exotic fish, and their hair and
skin tones mix almost any color or pattern imaginable.
They sometimes inherit traits from their parents, but not
always. Sirens can reproduce with any humanoid race.
Their children are always full sirens, most of them female.
Males have been recorded, albeit rarely, as they are
considered to be anomalies in siren societies.
Life of Desires
Many sirens live up to 200-300 years naturally. They
mature around the age of 15 and their songs truly develop
at that time in their lives and only physically age until they
are at their prime of beauty before their aging is no longer
visible. While those who are hunted are young, older
sirens have many more resources to keep themselves
from the grasp of those who wish to sell their feathers and
scales. Their lives are lived to protect themselves from that
fate and to carry on the bloodline of their kind.
Siren Traits
The common traits many sirens share with one another
through their connected bloodlines.
Ability Score Increase. Your Charisma score increases
by 2, and your Wisdom score increases by 1.
Age. While sirens live up to around 200 years, they
reach maturity at around 15.
Alignment. Sirens are often inherently chaotic beings
and tend to lean in that direction, but not all fall under that
alignment. They are neither bad nor good by nature,
instead it falls to how they use their voices.
Size. Your size is medium. Sirens range on average
between 5 and 6 feet tall when standing and almost 6 to 7
feet long with a tail.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Isolation
Sirens have been long since isolated along the outer most
reaches of the sea on lost islands and shipwrecks. They do
not find solace in the company of other sirens, the
competition and territorial nature often keep them
isolated from even each other. Their songs are not that of
their tongue but of the desire of their prey, almost magic
over the waves of the sea.

Melancholy Souls
Sirens are incredible nostalgics. They live and breathe
emotion and savor it at all opportunities. A siren might
repeat the same course of action or revisit the same place
over and over again in order to relive the memories that
are attached. They have a constant desire to feel wanted,
and it sometimes can drive them to madness. At heart
they are playful creatures and often pass time by teasing
fishermen or others that pass them by. Their restless
nature can sometimes lead them to leave the sea and take
on adventuring in order to fuel their insatiable desires.

Song of the Sea. You release beautiful, debilitating

hours.
