siren
The call of your character reaches far and wide across the island, and seems to become irresitable to some... it seems that you are able to lure other wolves and draw them into your location using only a howl.
TIER RATING
This is a tier one ability.
STAGES
​
-
STAGE 1: Beginning stage
Your character's howl sometimes carries a strange, almost hypnotic quality about it. They are often visited by wolves who heard their howl and felt strangely compelled to follow the sound and locate the source.
-
STAGE 2: Intermediate
Acquired by completing three pieces of artwork or roleplay that relate directly to your ability
The siren begins to gain a better understanding of their ability, and can now control when their howls attract others to them and when they do not. With great focus, they can occasionally lure select individuals to them
-
STAGE 3: Master
Acquired by completing a further three pieces of artwork or roleplay that relate directly to your ability.
In mastery of their ability, the siren can use their howl at will and very easily single out particular wolves and lure them toward their present location.
OVERALL RESTRICTIONS
The howl of the siren is intended to lure other characters to the siren's location, but will affect different characters to different degrees. You and your roleplaying partners have the freedom to choose how much or how little your characters are affected by this ability.
​
When the howl of the siren is heard, it will create within the listener a sudden and unexplained desire to follow the sound. The listener is not aware that magic is at work, they simply feel a tugging, a strange feeling that they need to be somewhere. Some characters may then shrug this feeling off, while others will be unable to resist it.
​
Distance factors into the strength of this ability. The further away from the source the listener is, the easier it is for them to shake off the feeling. The closer they are to the source, the more powerfully they feel compelled to follow.
​
The sound must be heard in order to have an effect. As such, deaf wolves are not affected by this ability.
​
This ability relies on the voice of the user and therefore cannot be used by mute wolves.
​
The howl can only travel as far as a normal wolf's howl, so please be realistic in your application of it. If Malaysia-Siren howled from Remiel, she will not be able to lure Morgur from the opposite end of the island.
​
Also, while it is okay to refer to the howl as a song once in a while for the fun descriptive nature of it, please do not confuse this with singing as we as humans understand it, or as the original legends of sirens may suggest. The noise the character makes for this ability is a howl, and the magic may afford it some other-worldly qualities, but these manifest more as feelings within listeners rather than an identifiably unusual sound.
