Welcome to The Duality of Man, an original animanga role-play that features numerous supernatural creatures. Unfortunately, these various species have distanced themselves because of the war that occurred thousands of years ago, plaguing some with eyes that only see their dualism. While others meddle themself with their differences, two groups fight, each attempting to eliminate the other in for their definition of worldly peace. These two groups of the Terror Response Syndicate (TRS) and the Assembly of Phantoms (AP). With individuals fighting merely over their differences, it brings uncertainty to the outcome of this war.

Options were becoming limited as Aliana attempted to delay the possibility of death between the pair of brawling individuals, each evidently wishing the kill the other. The scream proceeded for an extensive amount of time, both appearing to have become disoriented by the sudden, thundering noise which left Aliana's mouth. Unfortunately, there were suggestions the pair could be well trained, especially the woman who appeared to recover quickly and even devise a method to block the intense noise. A grimace breached Aliana's face as she remained hidden.
[break][break]
Gradually, breath dissipated until the silence arrived, allowing her to hear the woman's loud shouting. The words were obviously aimed at the siren, Aliana plenty aware she interrupted the unexpected fight. Without hesitation, the black-haired officer ducked back down, focusing on making an illusion wall between the pair, rather small, but also obscuring both parties in the fight. Meanwhile, her right hand fetched her phone from the depths of her sweater pocket, her thumb quickly dialling the digits to the Lorsette RCMP headquarters.
[break][break]
There was fixation placed on maintaining the illusion wall, Aliana watching the pair quickly as she listened to the ringing of the phone. Quickly, a soundless barrier was created around her, the duel magic inevitably being difficult to maintain considering how much energy she was using. The phone was pressed against the officer's ear, the siren attempting desperately to keep both magical abilities up, although, the illusion was already blurring slightly, potentially allowing both parties to see one another. Eventually, somebody answered the phone, Aliana being relieved when she heard a familiar voice.
[break][break]
"Hey, Laura, this is Officer La Rosa, I went out for a walk in the woods and found two people brawling by the river. I need reinforcements as quickly as possible! And I mean hurry! These two are trying to kill each other and I don't know how long I can keep them from doing that. I'm already running low on energy and don't have any handcuffs," Aliana explained quickly in a distressed voice.
[break][break]
There were no answers provided for the female stranger's question, the request to reveal herself being ignored for the purposing of maintaining her own safety. The woman displayed some incredible combat skills, especially with the method she got the man off of him and later landed a variety of hits without receiving a single scratch. While Aliana held some hand-to-hand combat skills, she wanted to avoid a confrontation if possible. Once the secretary got all the information and stated units were being dispatched to the area, the siren hung up and shoved her phone back into her pocket.
[break][break]
Afterwards, the energy in her sound muting was disabled, the police officer focusing solely on creating illusions in hopes of disorienting the pair, unfortunately, Aliana was uncertain of how long she could manage.

Power was evident in music, especially with the hypnotic abilities of a siren’s voice. The correct words accompanied by a beautiful voice resulted in potential flings being putty in Aliana’s hands. Securing herself proper energy for her abilities was crucial for her job, so why not at least assure she would enjoy every second of it? There was a broad smirk on her lipstick red lips, eyes searching the crowd for suitable fling partners. There was a seductiveness to her posing, the beautiful siren swaying her hips, her fingers delicately tracing her feminine figure. The red dress hugged tightly around her form, revealing her muscles alongside the various features potential flings would eye. A broad smile remained on Aliana’s face, her red eyes scanning those entranced by her voice. There were a few who possessed attractive frames, each evidently searching for a brief one night stand with a gorgeous woman. Intoxication spoke words to some, her persuasive ability resulting in them being wrapped around her finger. There were plenty of delightful choices, Aliana already having a difficult time deciding on which individual was suitable for some festivities.
[break][break]
As the words echoed beautifully through the bar, the siren maintained her poses which displayed her attractive body, going lengths to flip her gorgeous locks of thick, black hair. Quietly, she hoped these individuals who entered the bar were interested in the conventional definition of beauty, else finding a potential partner after her siren song's hypnosis subsided could prove difficult. Amidst the crowd, she noticed her, a beautifully curvy woman with an outstretched hand who provided a wink which hinted she could provide her with what Aliana sought. A broad smile graced her ruby red lips, her eyes locking on the woman before giving a return wink back. As the dark-haired woman's song arrived at a close, she turned away, glancing back with an amused smirk on her lips before she proceeded to walk, hips swaying. Once behind the curtain, a triumphant expression breached the siren's face as she carefully smoothed out her dress, assuring it hugged her frame properly. It was evident she had a woman interested in her, which meant a possible night of enjoyment. Her hands enclosed around the glass, feeling the cold condensation touch her slender fingers as she took a swig before grabbing her purse.
[break][break]
The siren placed her purse over her shoulder while the other hand held her glass. A deep breath was taken before she left the sanction of the backstage area, red eyes searching for the curvy woman with fox-like features. The beautiful lady was burned in her mind, Aliana remembering the gorgeous blond hair and incredible body and face that lured the young siren. Carefully, the dark-haired woman scanned the crowd, searching for the woman who provided her with the response she desired; this evening would definitely be an interesting one.

There was the soft trickling of water, the subtle crunch of footsteps on the grass as the figure moved closer. Quietly, the RCMP officer took a few steps backwards, still invoking the steady use of her sound manipulation to silence the complaints from the surrounding brush. Fortunately, Aliana’s dark coloured hair and clothing allowed for the woman to blend into the darker sections of forest and deep into a nearby bush. The siren slowly grabbed hold of her hoodie, pulling it over her head while shoving her loose hair back.
[break][break]
As she drew into her hiding position, the sharp branches of the bush prodded at her body, hence why she shoved her hair back. Without the fabric of her hoodie, the officer’s precious strands of hair could have easily fallen victim to a merciless tangling. The initial words to escape the mysterious woman’s lips resulted in Aliana freezing, heart thumping hard against her chest as a brief fright breached her usually calm visage. Finally, the words were given a target, the dreaded moment appearing to not be aimed towards her.
[break][break]
An extensive exhale escaped her mouth, Aliana's red eyes peering through while she listened to the noises being made, the words being exchanged. The subtle sounds of footsteps as the man was revealed by the faint moonlight shining through the trees. There were not many features the siren could make from her current distance, although, she noticed his rather dishevelled appearance in comparison to the female. There was a glint, light playing across the metallic pieces of a handgun, making it evident the man was armed. Maintaining the silence around her, Aliana lowered herself into a more obscured position, not being bothered by the cold, damp grass or the slight chill of summer air.
[break][break]
There was no emotion on the woman's face when after a mere few words, she raised her own gun and squeezed the trigger without warning. The thunderous bang of gunfire was mildly startling to the siren, but from her RCMP training, she managed to sort through a plan. Two individuals with plans to murder one another, a pair of guns to handle and furthermore no proper identifications? Her best plan was to use her sound manipulation to momentarily stun them, then move from there as requested.
[break][break]
When the man lunged towards the long-haired stranger, Aliana rose, sucking in a breath before releasing a loud scream. Immediately, the siren reached to cover her ears as she used her sound manipulation to amplify the noise in the desperate hope of stunning the pair of attackers. Currently, the RCMP officer was attempting to devise a plan to avoid blood being shed on this evening, but considering the tense circumstances, she knew it would not be an easy situation to handle.

Night arrived to encompass the Lorsette in darkness, allowing for some to be lulled to sleep during the festivities; December 31st was a special evening. Amidst the cities, homes were brightly lit as people gathered, their objective being to remain awake until the clock struck midnight. The new year would be welcomed in loud cheers, screamed countdowns to echo through a majority of houses. There would be parties to enjoy, which meant plenty of eligible people drunk on alcohol to flirt with. New Year's Eve oftentimes caused people to flock, particularly towards the homes of friends or occasionally bars in the outskirts of Lorsette. Despite being a meagre outskirts bar, the place was gorgeously decorated and polished for their New Year's Eve party. The main counter of the bar has festive hangings in gold, black and silver. Champaign bottles, clocks and stars were featured decorations, the TV even playing a New Year's Eve countdown. Balloons clung to the ceiling in the varying colours while others were tied to counters or corners where decorations were lacking.
[break][break]
There were people already ordering drinks, a young, black-haired girl watching from behind the stage. A bubbly alcohol and soda mixture was stationed in her hand; her favourite, whisky and Dr. Pepper. Her position proved to be superior, allowing her an expansive view of the bar, but most particularly the front doors which constantly flung open. There were people entering to enjoy while others decided to leave or light a cigarette. A broad grin was evident on the woman's face as she planned to make her name, Aliana La Rosa, one to be lusted for. Their attention, admiration and desire granted the siren power, allowing her to accomplish her occupation smoother while getting some enjoyment out of it. These were the emotions she desired to transpire, the outfit she decided to where designed to display her curves and womanly features. The dress Aliana possessed a soft red with golden patterns trailing up the left, embracing her curves, showing the conventionally beautiful body beneath the fabric. There was a slit on the right side, revealing her flawless skin and well-shaven legs. The neck went down into a deep V-shape, making it evident that Aliana wished to reveal her assets.
[break][break]
The siren's red eyes proceeded to observe the interactions of those inside the bar as she waited for everything to quiet and the lights to dim. Once that occurred, Aliana would be permitted to display herself on stage and the sing her chosen song of the evening. There were regulations given, the owner being adamant about avoiding songs with sexual tones, thus she picked a different route. She merely required the attention to be provided, her only job would be successfully flirting with the most divine or interesting pattern for the evening. The initial step would be securing a dance, then the remainder of the time would be spent flirting with the intended target. Quietly, she proceeded to scrutinize the various individuals who entered the bar, attempting to pick somebody who could possibly be amazed by her performance on stage. While she observed, she sipped from her cup, the sound of chatter and ice clinking against glass becoming evident; the conversation won the volume battle. Eventually, a hand gently tapped her shoulder as a young man with spectacles explained the bar would be quieted and she could sing. A wide smirk stretched across the siren's face as she answered with a simple nod.
[break][break]
Afterwards, the man departed to tap the microphone to gain the attention of the bar's occupants. Another glance was taken around the bar while Aliana rose from her seat, setting her drink on the cheap, plastic table. Based on the decorations and cleanliness of the meagre outskirts bar, the siren guessed the extreme effort towards amazing their customers was a desperate attempt to gain loyal customers; the Golden Crown tended grab attention of most. Thus, making the hiring of a one-woman band being more affordable than attempting to get a variety of infamous performers. A simple instrumental track assisted with Aliana's alluring siren song ability would easily become eye-catching to those amidst the crowd. Once the introductions were completed, the young ravenette walked out onto the stage, a wide grin on her face. There were no words spoken from Aliana as she provided the crowd with a friendly wave. A moment of silent encompassed the bar, the siren gently grabbing the microphone until finally the instrumental began playing. The chosen song, Wanna Dance With Somebody by Whitney Huston, began with a friendly series of beats. With precision timing, Aliana began singing, her siren song filling the bar and gaining attention.
[break][break]
Promptly, a smile touched Aliana's face as she walked around her pedestal, the stage, fixating her attention momentarily on the attractive faces she discovered amidst the crowd. Each note was hit, her siren song fueling persuasion behind each word to try and cajole those watching her to possibly ask for a dance or even attempt for flirtation. As she remained stage, her eyes occasionally flitted towards the door, still curious about new attendants to the show.
Silence accompanied the eerie beauty of night as citizens retreated to the safety of their homes for the evening. The blue sky had transformed into an endless black dotted with stars with the moon hanging as the primary beacon. Moonlight touched the earth softly, revealing the faint outlines, but hiding the details. The cover for felons who quietly crept through the shadows in preparation for unlawful occupations, faces obscured by their closest friend, darkness. It generated a strict requirement for alertness given the condition and circumstances. With terrors and Assembly members likely on the prowl among the miscreants, night had become a world of danger. Despite the lingering sense of possible peril, a broad, lip-tight smile remained across Aliana's lips as she wandered through the streets with an aimlessness. During the evening hours, her adventurous attitude as lured her from her home as a restlessness had consumed her. After weeks of night patrols, her sleeping schedule was skewed which resulted in long evenings.
[break][break]
Several hours were dedicated to futile sleeping attempts, thus the young woman decided to venture outside. Her clothing consisted of casual wear while she wandered the streets. A simple, thick dark gray hoodie wrapped around her shoulders while black leggings covered her slender legs. The footwear was standard, consisting of a meagre pair of running shoes oftentimes worn during moments of carelessness. The siren's incredibly long hair flowed downwards, past her shoulders and reaching her hips. While the woman walked through the streets, her pockets were hidden within the pleasant warmth of her pockets where soft material surrounded them. Gradually, her red eyes swept through the area, making certain that nobody was preying upon her. As the walk progressed, she drew closer to the destination of the night, Calico Forest. While the streets bathed in the light provided by the numerous streetlamps, the forest maintained a darkness.
[break][break]
Street disappeared to rough, dirt roads that weaved endlessly through the forest. Trees reached towards the skies above Aliana, blocking the faint moonlight that guided her safely around the hazards. Darkness encompassed a majority of the landscape beneath the canopy of leaves. There were faint rustling noises as the wind played with the branches in the trees and the nightly critters went about their business. Occasionally, there was the faint who from a lonely owl who stalked the forest for small rodents, although, remained hidden to the woman's eyes. Despite the increase of hiding places for potential threats, the woman kept a nonchalant disposition as she continued down the path, occasionally checking for danger. There was a gentle hum leaving her graceful lips as she continued, ceasing when the sounds of rustling increase. An eyebrow lifted, the woman gazing around with her bright red eyes. Through the noises, she narrowly heard the pleasant sound of a feminine voice.
[break][break]
The lyrics of a song drifted through the trees, Aliana allowing her sound manipulation to assist in detection. While the singing continued, the ravenette paused on the path, her eyes staring in the direction of the singer. There was only slight hesitation until Aliana abandoned the path, moving into the grass and towards the source of the song. Caution was avoided in her steps, the woman activating her sound manipulation to lower the output, muting her movements entirely as she drew closer to the source. There was a faint trickling of a stream, the ravenette kneeling closer to watch the scene that unfolded near the creek. Silently, Aliana watched as the woman, the night obscuring her features and resulting in her being a faint outline. There was the sound of snapping twigs a few feet away, the siren's red eyes flitting towards the sound. When the rustling of movement arrived, it became obvious that the stranger had detected the noise as well.
[break][break]
There was a grimace as the ravenette noticed the dark figure amidst the trees, possibly a terror or something remotely human. Narrowly, Aliana managed to hold her tongue, avoiding a swear slipping from her lips and revealing her location. She crept backwards slowly, keeping her sounds muted in hopes the creature would fail to notice her. While the siren's abilities were incredible, she had neglected to grab the brilliant sabre she used in combat and this situation could get ugly quickly.
When it comes to Aliana’s body, it is beautiful and lean, displaying the woman’s athleticism on a somewhat tall body of 5’5” in height. A majority of people find that Aliana’s body is surprisingly impressive with the muscles that line her limbs and stomach, even going lengths to have some definition of abs on her fairly flat stomach. She is capable in lifting heavy objects and even running incredible distances since she is a frequent exerciser. A female figure outlines Aliana’s body, her breasts being fairly ample alongside her delicate hips which gives her a wonderful hourglass figure. As a result of years of participating in sports and physical labor, Aliana’s hands are calloused. Complexion wise, Aliana is nearly perfect, her body baring the occasional scar as a result of her occupation. Her skin is well cared for, resulting in it being shaved and oftentimes being given skin care products. She will occasionally wear makeup to enhance the features of her face, but this is oftentimes fairly light.
Facial wise, Aliana has a high set of cheekbones and a pointed chin. Her nose is fairly slender, lacking some prominence in a way. A pair of beautiful red eyes is what she possesses, them containing a bright colour. They are commonly the initial trait that people will notice about Aliana’s face. Reaching down to her lower back is are waves of beautiful black locks of hair that is very soft to the touch. Oftentimes, Aliana wears her hair free, allowing it to be loose in all of its glory. The style of her hair is wavy, making it prone to knots and difficult to maintain at times. Aliana is incredibly well-known for playing with new styling with her hair, oftentimes putting various accessories or even doing the occasional braid. She has fairly long bangs that will sometimes fall into her eyes should she not be careful.
When it comes down to her clothing, Aliana is incredibly various with what she will wear. Oftentimes, she prefers clothes that will display her hourglass figure, but is prone to wearing more covering type of clothing. She varies from casual to fancy depending on the occasion or her mood. Casual is usually worn during exercising periods or whenever she is doing physical labor meanwhile fancy she will wear at special occasions or sometimes around the town if she pleases. Frequently, she is wearing her RCMP uniform since she has long work periods.
Thermal Resistance -- Natural The ability to be more resilient to extreme temperatures, allowing the body to take torment both from harsh cold and heat. Since Aliana is a siren, this ability is incredibly strong, allowing her to swim through water with a concerning ease. This also grants her some resistance to temperature based attacks and makes it difficult for her to get a sunburn or frostbite. Finally, this abilities staves off heat exhaustion and hyperthermia should Aliana be exposed to those conditions.
Siren Song -- Advanced The ability to emit irresistible music that can be used to lure and control those who come under its influence. While a majority of people may believe a siren’s song is limited to luring, they would be incorrect when it comes to Aliana. Due to extensive years of practicing, she has gained the capability to hypnotize people to incredible lengths with the siren song, this impart being linked to her sound manipulation. This hypnotism does required being linked to a specific song, making it so Aliana does have to memorize numerous verses in an attempt to convey the desired effect. While luring itself is the basis of the ability, any song she sings can lure a target, but it takes a specific song to truly convey any alternative commands Aliana may want to give. Oftentimes, she only uses this to lure and get the truth out of criminals by using songs that convey those motivations. To anybody who listens, her voice sounds beautiful, always capable of perfectly matching the tones in a song as a result of the ability.
As with most hypnotism, the more strong-willed are less susceptible to her singing, allowing them to resist. The most important essence in the entirety of this craft is naturally her voice, so if Aliana is unable to speak, then the ability can not be accessed. Making errors in the song/singing itself can result in the siren song failing; this can include pausing for extensive periods of time, stuttering or accidental pitch changes. As a result, moments of emotional stress or sickness can cause her to be unable to sing songs properly enough to hypnotize others. Accidentally stating the wrong lyrics can on occasion break the effects, especially if the person she is singing to knows the lyrics themself and con recognize the error. Those with psychic negation or anything that blocks hypnotism are completely immune to her songs and this can include people with charms that protect them from it. Without using her sound manipulation, there would be no amplifying of her voice. To control others, Aliana has to be extremely energized with closeness, the less energy she has from it, the less effect her siren song will have.
Sound Manipulation -- Advanced The ability to manipulate sound waves, allowing for the user to access the power of sound for offensive and defensive purposes. With this ability, she can heightened and lower volumes of anything that makes noise, although, only temporary. This allows her to make sound disturb air, earth, water and various other obstacles that stand in her way. Ultimately, she can cause heavy vibrations and temporary deafen somebody foolish enough to remain in the way of her sound waves. Should she make herself intensely loud, she can cause vibrations that can result in instability for people, including herself in some instances. She can apply various effects to sound, even distorting it by causing the noise to echo, speed up or slow down. Lowering and heightening volumes tend to be where a majority of her strength lies, which can allow her to stun enemies or make it difficult for them to call for backup. Furthermore, she can change frequencies to higher pitches in order to act as a sonar system of sorts, allowing her to locate things she cannot see or allow for traveling in areas of low eyesight. She is unable to reach frequencies that could potentially cause internal damage on living beings. Due to her advanced skills in sound manipulation, she is capable of using it as a lie detector by sensing the heart beat; incredible liars can make it more difficult for her to tell.
Distance is the initial issue when regarding this ability considering that sounds can not travel indefinitely. While she can heighten her noises to have a wider sound radius, the further they travel, the weaker they will become. The vibrations are included in this. Those who are deaf are practically immune to her stunning capabilities with sound. Obstacles themself can also pose a problem, since some can reflect her nosies and result in the attack hitting her instead of the intended target; her attacks still affect her. Sound must already be generated in order to use the ability, which means Aliana cannot create noise unless she speaks, stamps her feet, etc. The method the sound travel also matters, since is must stretch out from the original source alongside go the original direction it was heading. This means if Aliana was shouting, the noise would travel from her mouth, becoming a sound wave that can only travel the direction she shouted. People who can nullify sound or mute her can also cease the functioning of this ability in some respects. The sound waves that Aliana manipulates are coloured blue, displaying the manipulation.
Illusion Manipulation -- Mastered The ability to conjure illusions to fool sight, smell, hearing, touch and taste. This allows her to easily fool people and even create disguises by covering her body with illusions. She can also use these illusions to hide herself should it be necessary. This allows for a variety of capabilities on Aliana’s part for how exactly to fool people. Due to her mastery, Aliana can got the lengths to create an illusion scape as she calls it for a specific person. These illusion scapes are what she is most renown for considering she makes terrifying “worlds” to horrify her victims. These “worlds” possess a 10 foot radius, Aliana being the center point of the entire “world”. The most frequent “world” she invokes is what she refers to as The Hellscape which is a horror tactic designed for attempting to get answers or making others repent for their sins. The Hellscape has a variety of appearance, adapting depending on the knowledge she possesses on the person. While she cannot delve into someone’s deepest fears, she will continue tweaking The Hellscape in hopes of discovering. Frequently, The Hellscape is designed to make her victims feel helpless and weak against her. This does allow her to inflict mental torment on her enemies should she desire.
Touch is the weakest of the senses that Aliana can fool since her illusions can not physically harm anything. This means if somebody were to punch or do anything defined as forceful to her illusion, then it would disappear. Oftentimes, emanating the illusion of pain is also immensely difficult since she can only create mild senses of pain. Due to the mildness of the pain, those with pain suppression, enhanced durability or enhanced endurance can easily ignore it without so much as flinch. Creatures with enhanced senses are also immune to her manipulation since their super-charged senses can easily notice the illusion. Those with psychic shield, illusion manipulation and danger sense (depends on illusion type) are oftentimes immune or resilient to her ability. Focus is required for the ability alongside mental strength, which means if somebody were to break Aliana down mentally, the ability would cease functioning.
Overall Weakness Similar to all sirens, her abilities need energy from being close to people. This means that isolation can immensely weaken her abilities and result in them not functioning properly.
Naturals: Enhanced Lung Capacity
backstory
Originally, Aliana was born in Lucca, Italy to a pair of low wealth parents. Both of her parents were hell species, Aliana’s mother being a siren while her father was a demon from the War of Traitors. Her parents were the affectionate sort, dotting on their young daughter constantly, especially her father who Aliana spent hours with. While they were affectionate, her parents were also incredibly protective, being concerned whenever Aliana arrived with news of being invited to another child’s house. Their reasoning was simple since Aliana’s mother had been expected to marry noble blood rather than an ancient soldier created from the war thousands of years prior. Ultimately, the parents were paranoid over the concept of their child being bothered by the grandparents on her mother’s side. Around this time, they were young and lacked the financial stability to afford moving from Italy, but Aliana always remembered how hard her parents worked towards climbing the rungs of earnings. Due to her parents being required to study and work, Aliana was taught from a young age to assist in the numerous chores around the house. The tasks were accomplished with little complaining, the child enjoying to do her part when she was younger.
As time progressed, her mother joined the TRS division dispatched in Italy since the pay was excellent. It resulted in her mother becoming a hunter despite being a siren and thus learned the labors of fighting. Gradually, her mother transformed into an athlete of sorts, finding sports an excellent method to hone in on her skills. Constantly, her daughter would watch her mother train and found an interest in the exercises her mother accomplished. This resulted in Aliana becoming a sports nut the instant she entered school. While her choices were limited since her parents were slowly gaining an average wealth, Aliana frequently signed up for classes like karate, hockey, soccer and swimming during her younger years. Baseball, lacrosse and various other sports were played on occasion, but usually through free school events. A majority of her friends were made through sports, allowing her to become popular throughout her school years. The company was enjoyed and welcomed frequently since Aliana could feed off a portion of the energies of the children who lacked charms to protect them.
As income within the family increased, Aliana found that life became better as new foods, toys and experiences were gained. Unlike her youngest childhood years, Aliana was taken to fairs and special events that occured in the city. Unfortunately, each event was required to have her parents attend due to their incredible fears that something horrible would happen to their sweet, little girl. Years drifted by peacefully, concepts of moving being placed on hold due to the wonderful time in Italy. When Aliana was 12, she was left at home alone for the first time which transformed into a nightmare. There were knocks at the door, Aliana being told by her parents not to answer since they were not expecting anyone; they were always careful. The person persisted though, somebody slamming onto the door and frightening the young child who ran upstairs. She slipped into her closet where old blankets and clothing were stored, hastily burying herself beneath them while dialing her parents phone number out of panic. The situation was quietly explained, her parents informing Aliana to remain quiet while they phoned the police and returned home.
Time was dreadfully slow, the invaders wandering around the house and shouting towards each other. They were aware of her presence, attempting to call her name in a sweet manner and offer treats alongside playtime. Despite the kindness in their voices, Aliana remained hidden beneath the numerous blankets inside the dark closet; for once she was happy the lightbulb had lost power days ago. Eventually, there was the sound of police sirens, the invaders panicking as police officers yelled and asked for surrender. There was a physical struggle, the police officers capturing the invaders and finally arrived the wonderful voice of her parents. Hastily, Aliana had revealed herself and ran into the arms of her loving parents and finally noticed the faces of the perpetrators. They possessed similar appearances to her mother, having that familiar dark hair and red eyes that her mother and herself were known for. When questioned, her parents informed her about her grandparents, telling Aliana about how they were horrible people and that she was expected to stay away. The child had no plans to argue her parents over the matter.
Only a mere month or two later did her parents hastily made and proceeded with the decision to move. As a young child, Aliana was confused by the verdict, but naturally forced to remain with her parents. Farewells were given, her class throwing a party to say goodbye to Aliana; an occasion that made the young girl feel special. There was a plane involved in moving, the young child entering on a one-stop trip towards her new country. The family moved to Lorsette, Newfoundland in the country of Canada. Reasons were simple, the TRS division there was desperate for hunters which allowed for her mother to quickly make a transfer slip. They earned money not long after entering Lorsette, especially since her father who worked in medicine after the war, was able to become a doctor. Their occupations were desperately required, making it easy for Aliana and her parents to live comfortably in Canada.
Entering the new school, was an entirely different concept for Aliana. There were mild tones of nervousness despite the constant support her parents provided her. Thankfully, her adeptness in the field of sports allowed for her to once again befriend people, landing her among the popular again. In the future, it proved to be a positive decision on the young siren’s part since the energies she could feast off of were incredible. When puberty hit alongside times of sexuality exploration, Aliana took the opportunity greedily considering the energy she was provided. All genders were attractive, and the positives of flings made for numerous evenings spent sleeping around. Her father frowned upon the concept while her mother remained passive solely because of an understanding. While her father lectured her, there were moments when her mother would interject about the nature of sirens, stating that exploration was fine, but never to do anything she was not comfortable with. Her mother taught her some fighting skills to assure her daughter’s safety against anybody who planned to take it too far. Most of the time, her parents were a protective shield against the worse of her flings, which gradually forged Aliana’s observational skills. It allowed for the young siren to notice the signs of the more wicked, which allowed for avoidance from those parties.
As school began reaching a close, Aliana gained a desire for justice. Despite her mother’s hunting ties, Aliana desired to make a name for herself. It resulted in the decision to join the RCMP and prove her excellence as an officer. Training abilities alongside her body increased to her mother’s insistence, the young woman’s skills hastily sharpening and allowing for numerous discoveries in her capabilities. She found herself capable of making the Hellscape and controlling people with her siren song should the song possess the correct context. It gave her skills as an interrogator, her mother finding her a position in the TRS under the premise while her daughter entered schooling. The usefulness of Aliana in the interrogation became obvious as time progressed, allowing her for hours spent getting information from hardened criminals and Assembly members. Once her RCMP training was completed, Aliana began working more frequently with them, but still takes the occasional interrogation hours for the TRS.
