Important History:
Alaric got ill after being born, his heart was not beating properly .
In order to live he would have to take a life as he grew older per deal that was struck to save him with an old sea witch said to have healing concoctions, but no life saved came without a price.
Alaric now mostly uses sign language to communicate. As a child unknowingly he lured many to the water by singing above water. His friend a fellow siren told him those he led wanted to be in the water, that they were helping these people.
He was raised of course in the sea but find solace in the trees when on land.
What he is starting to realize is the more time on land and more time goes by he doesn’t fulfill his deal and end a life his voice is fading
Recently he has leaned human gestures and saw a ship wrecked across the rocks. He knows his kind the few is responsible those like him who have siren song.
His mother does not have this ability of siren song.
Important Canon:
I’m interested in taking some from Hans Christian Anderson such as his mum a but keeping with the folklore of myths of mermaids, sirens.
Twenty-five years ago Ariel fell in love with the human prince of Brittia, whose kingdom was enemies with Camelot. She had a sea witch turn her human in order to woo him, but when she was unable to make him fall in love with her, she had a choice between killing him or becoming sea foam. She chose to kill him and returned to the sea, where she also killed the sea witch.
There is an ocean near Camelot, it’s border makes it ideal for luring sailors. Alaric’s father is already King married to his aunt. Some Sirens once lured a ship ready to ambush Camelot to its death this a respect between them and Camelot was born.
Alaric given his task since infancy has been allowed to be on land from the witch though it sometimes feels like walking on glass to be on land.
Sirens used to be incredibly animalistic. Some people would capture them to study thinking maybe their blood could even be used on their enemies. Some say that’s why children went disappearing lured from their Beds if their home was by the sea. Sirens are fiercely loyal to their family they are predators of course but feel emotions just as humans. They are less likely to form friendships as just mermaids or humans.
Motivation: Alaric wanted the motivation to be his own, and partially he suppose it is. After all, no one came up with him to watch him but he does have a task. He has to take a life to make up for his being spared as an if any, he doesn’t want too and hopes to find safety and security in Camelot but he knows not everyone likes sirens and knows someone may have seen him one night , back when he used to sing. He also wants to hopefully show not all sirens are bad.
Key Relationships:
The Target- someone Alaric has to end. He fights it and doesn’t want to in fact he likes this person and hopes they can be friends. He tries to steer all their hang outs away from the sea and with them just wants to forget everything else.
The enemy- someone who hates sirens. Maybe they lost someone maybe they’ve heard countless stories but they are determined to expose him and get him looked at or sent away or worse killed l. They see features suggesting he may be from sea.
The crush- Alaric has never liked someone like this before. He feels giddy and silly when they are around and forgets suddenly how to walk. They make him feel like no other has and that he’s not some sea monster.
Other: I want to explore how being a siren is effecting him will he grow to become what people fear most of sirens or will he set out to prove he is still just some sea monster.
Quote: “ to be lost is a legitimate part of the process as being found.”
