(forgot to share this for a hot minute lol) This is Siren. Siren was born into a trading post called Claws Of Power, where Animus were sold to the highest bidder. They would make the animi unable to otherwise fight back, cutting their tails and wings, selling the wings to Skywings. (in my au, Skywings are very obsessed with Wings. They would pay millions of coins to have Animus wings to hang on a wall or enchant to be an extra pair) Siren was put in this system, and they were sold around the continent to do various jobs, where they collected coins to give to the organization. These included the following: 1. Treasure Chests that are enchanted to always remain locked unless the owner has a specific key, making them a secure way to transport valuable goods 2. Defending a small hut in the middle of the ocean from a crew of pirates, enchanting something horrible to happen to any pirate that came through. 3. Enchanting swords or arrows to fly straighter or strike with greater force, increasing their effectiveness in battle 4. Creating enchanted maps that highlight hidden treasures or safe routes, updating in real-time to reflect dangers or changes in terrain 5. Enchantments that could calm storms or prevent bad weather on sea voyages, ensuring safe travel for merchants or pirates. 6. Setting up enchanted traps that would immobilize anyone who triggers them, useful for protecting valuable locations or resources. 7. Enchanting crystals for long-distance communication, allowing pirates or traders to stay connected across vast distances. 8. Creating illusions to hide a location or mislead enemies, making it difficult for pursuers to find a hidden base or stash of goods. 9. Enchanting a piece of cargo or a strongbox to be effectively weightless, allowing it to be transported easily until the owner deems it necessary to release the enchantment. 10. Enchanting stone or metal constructs to act as guards for valuable locations, ensuring that intruders are deterred or stopped. They had no choice, really: Always sold around to the highest bidder. So when they were fully sold to be a gift to the Seawing Queen, they had to escape. She would force them to kill all of the Skywings. They hatched an escape plan. One night, during a storm, they needed to leave under the cover of darkness. So they went out, into the water, surfaced one day, and... (CRACKLE BACKLE BOOOM) They washed up on the desert shore days after, and a certain organization seemed to be missing an animus. They followed a caravan to the nearest big city, which is Possibility, and found an animus to enchant them to be undetectable by the Claws of Power for as long as they are together, as well as enchanting them to be able to use their magic freely. This was not all. Once they were in Possibility, they decided to start doing all the things that the Claws of Power didn't allow them to do. They started going out with dragons, they hired dragons to build them a new house and they partied all night. They felt happy for the first time.
ahh thank you to @PepsiCrab for the design!!! I felt really inspired by the lack of wings and tail, which I might be beginning to notice that 2 out of the three designs they've given me have been tail-less.... (well Kracken has a tail extension so I guess that doesn't count)
