Sirens
Sirens are Human Beings who have been imbued with a strong connection to the Emotion IsoMatrix - granting them vast supernatural abilities. They are pronounced throughout the Multiverse - with the majority of them appearing on Earth-0.
Characteristics & Abilities
Characteristics
Most Sirens are created through external means - not born; although they can be born from a parent who is a Siren themselves. The carrier essence of a Siren is known as the Siren Imprint. It is a collection of psionic and emotional energies that connect the Siren to the Emotion IsoMatrix.
The Siren Imprint functions like a dominant gene - meaning its activation occurs in their offspring. Due to the nature of the Siren Imprimatur, Sirens will always bear progeny who are Sirens themselves.
Offspring of a Siren are generally likely to be female - due to the esoteric nature of the Emotion IsoMatrix's functioning. However, male Sirens can exist.
Sirens generally don't have a difference in appearance before and after their transformation. At most, they develop irises with an unnaturally bright glow - however this effect can be controlled entirely by the Siren themselves.
When chosen by the Emotion IsoMatrix - Sirens begin to develop the Siren Imprint. However, there is no reliable method for detecting the imprint with conventional technologies or methodologies. Only a high order magician or psionic being can detect the presence of the Siren Imprint in a potential Siren - as shown when a Sorcerer Supreme detected the signature in two distinct beings from Earth.[1]
Development Process
The functions behind the Emotion IsoMatrix's selection process are currently unknown - as the process is incredibly rare, and only a handful of beings have been chosen to become Sirens over the course of the Universe's existence.
Generally, a Siren begins to manifest their powers up to a year after their Siren Imprint is established. The stages of development can vary to a degree, but the development process always begins with a slow and gradual build up of psionic energy - eventually becoming an immense flood of psionic energy.
The being then goes through a 'cocoon' phase - where they're shrouded in an energy lattice, as their bodies are 'rebuilt' to handle the processing and manifestation of their immense energies.
The 'cocoon' phase lasts roughly a day - and occurs when the Siren's abilities have reached a peak in terms of development and expansion.
Finally, after the 'cocoon' phase has completed, the being then begins to fully manifest their abilities as a Siren.
Abilities
Sirens generally have a set of 3 distinct abilities. These abilities are due to the various instances of harmonic resonance that the Emotion IsoMatrix engages in - primarily with the Sentience IsoMatrix and the Magic IsoMatrix.
These 3 ability sets all develop independently of each other - and can develop at different times in the development cycle of a Siren's life. These differences in development are almost entirely determined by external factors - such as perpetual mana exposure, psionic energy exposure and general affinity for the Emotion IsoMatrix.
Most importantly, these 3 ability sets can all synergise effectively in order to magnify their effects. Effective use of multi ability combinations requires a both a focused mind and a strong level of emotional control. Each individual mastery is difficult to obtain let alone having both sets simultaneously.
- Psionics
- Sirens are immensely strong psionic beings, generally capable of variable psionic effects.
- Their psionic abilities are the result of a harmonic resonance that the Emotion IsoMatrix engages in with the Astral Plane.
- This harmonic resonance is a cosmological event - occurring throughout the universe once every millennia.
- Sirens are can manifest various psionic abilities, such as:
- Telekinesis
- Telepathy
- Psychokinesis
- Psychic Energy Manipulation
- Psychic Element Manipulation
- Psychic Teleportation
- Clairvoyance
- Psychometry
- Astral Projection
- Emotion Based Abilities
- Due to their connection to the Emotion IsoMatrix - Sirens can convert their raw emotions into massive amounts of power.
- The conversion of their emotional states into power is achieved on an exponential scale.
- Thus, the energy generated is directly proportional to the sustained duration of emotions.
- The conversion of their emotional states into power is achieved on an exponential scale.
- Sirens can also sense the emotions of other living beings.
- This allows for the draining of emotions from those around them - further fueling their emotion based abilities.
- Not all sentient beings are capable of emotion - making these beings immune to the emotion draining abilities of Sirens.
- This allows for the draining of emotions from those around them - further fueling their emotion based abilities.
- Sirens can convert their emotional energies into various other abilities and effects, such as:
- Superhuman Physical Characteristics
- Superhuman Strength
- Superhuman Speed
- Superhuman Durability
- Superhuman Agility
- Superhuman Reflexes
- Superhuman Equilibrium
- Superhuman Healing
- Emotional Energy Constructs
- Emotional Energy Amplification
- Emotional Energy Force Field
- Hazardous Environment Protection
- Superhuman Physical Characteristics
- Due to their connection to the Emotion IsoMatrix - Sirens can convert their raw emotions into massive amounts of power.
- Magic
- These abilities are the result of the Emotion IsoMatrix's general resonance with the Nexus of Magical Energies.
- Sirens have an innate ability to sense and absorb magical energies.
- However, they have no inherent understanding or comprehension of magic - they must learn the mystic arts like all other magicians.
- Given this rudimentary connection to magic, Sirens are capable of certain baseline magical abilities:
- Mana | Magical Energy Manipulation
- Magic Perception
- Magic Transfer
- Sirens can interact with magical artifacts to a degree, due to their affinity for magic as well.
- In most cases, Sirens can learn magical spells and other forms of sorcery - if they are shown to be competent at magical instruction and training.
Known Sirens
- Josephine Meisner
- "Ultimata"
- Unnamed Woman
- A woman mentioned by Isaac as being another potential Siren on Earth - with the Siren Imprint already active for an unknown amount of time.[1]
Notes
- Sirens are the Emotion IsoMatrix's manifestation of its power, outside of its true conduit.
- Comparable beings include Meta-Humans to the Power IsoMatrix.
- Sorcerers Supreme to the Magic IsoMatrix.
- Astrals to the Concept IsoMatrix.
- Sirens are at a level of power comparable to the strongest of Meta-Humans.
- They are far below the likes of a Sorcerer Supreme, however.
- Sirens have degrees of power on a sliding scale that is relatively equal to that of Astrals.
- When a Siren has offspring - their female offspring are more likely to inherent an active Siren Imprint.
- Male offspring can also inherent a Siren Imprint - but it will take far more energy to activate than is reasonably possible in most situations.
- Sirens have only existed for a few centuries - with a handful of them appearing.
- It is unknown what happened to all of the Sirens that came after Josephine.
- Josephine has a preference for Psychic Element Manipulation.
- Specifically, she utilizes Psionic Fire as her primary means of combatting her opponents in most situations.
