Alan is a rather kind, soft-spoken individual with a strong dedication to his work. However, he is not one to rush things either, opting to enjoy the simpler things in life when he can, such as beautiful views, good food, friends, and the occasional anime marathon. He has a strong moral code that refuses to permit cruelty of any kind and will put the well-being of people over stopping the villain any day.

Perhaps where he falters is in his relationship with authority figures as although he will obey the law, to an extent, he is not above questioning or even going against orders that conflict with his own moral code. This coupled with his somewhat lax form of discipline and his refusal to adhere to strict black and white views of the world can sometimes make it difficult to get along with those who are use to a chain of command.



Alan's story is not exactly what one would call the happiest, but nor is it downright tragic. The correct term to use might be...complicated. You see, as a child, his father left him and his mother, forcing her to raise their son on her own. Alan never truly understood why they separated and whenever he asked, his mother would simply smile and pat him on the head while saying something along the lines of "we're just working through a few problems, dear. Don't worry, everything will be ok."

However, Alan wasn't dumb. He could tell at a glance that his mother was just trying to make him feel better. As such, he did all he could to make her happy. He worked hard in school and even took up washing dishes and sweeping the floor, among other things, to help when she came home from work, exhausted. However, even with a decent number of friends in school, and his mother's love, he sometimes felt a tinge of envy in his heart at seeing kids being raised by two parents instead of just one.

Regardless, he grew up and completed his schooling,even earning a scholarship to a local college, much to the joy of his Mom and her side of the family. Alan wanted to pursue a career in journalism, see the world and all it had to offer, and his Mom supported him all the way, even after he moved out on his own. However, it seems the powers that be had other plans for the young man.

One night, while out in the hills around town, and watching a meteor shower, one of the "stars" fell not far from his location. When he went to inspect it, the "star" turned out to be a crashed escape pod and inside was what could only be described as an unconscious alien.

Having seen enough sci-fi movies to know if he left the creature here, it would be taken away to be experimented on, Alan whisked her away to his home and spent the next couple of days nursing the alien back to health. Eventually, the Alien trusted him enough to reveal her identity Eventually, the entity trusted him enough to reveal her identity as Aurora, a type of alien life form most referred to as a "Space Siren" and had been captured by a group of space pirates that would now be looking for her since she had
managed to escape, wanting to use her DNA to create more of her kind to sell on the alien black market as weapons and for profit due to her kind's potent psychic abilities.

Not wanting to be the father who abandoned him, Alan agreed to let her stay until they found a way for her to safely leave. However, their peace was short-lived as one evening not long after, Aurora was forced to use her powers to save Alan from a group of hoodlums...which acted as a beacon to the space pirates and got them to come after Aurora. She tried to turn herself over willingly to save Alan...but they took him too as "insurance".  

Once aboard the pirate's shuttle,the pirates took the DNA they needed and prepared to execute Aurora with a lethal virus...only for Alan to defend her and be fatally wounded himself. Outraged at this, Aurora's powers went crazy and she trapped all the pirates' minds in endless nightmares. Realizing there wasn't much time left, Aurora took Alan's body and managed to transfer his brain over to the clone body of herself.

When he awoke back in his apartment, it took a while for Alan to adjust to all that had happened to him...but still, he was grateful to have been saved and given a second chance. It was from then on, the two decided to both literally and figuratively work as one hero to ensure more events like what happened to them didn't happen to anyone else.



1. Agility 2
2. Endurance 4
3. Reaction 1
4. Strength 3


Telepathy- The Siren has a high level of power over the mind and can use this to influence feelings.

Psychokinesis- Another power the Siren has a great deal of talent in. They are capable of lifting many more small objects than one person could ever carry or a small number of very large objects. Even tossing around cars or trucks is doable.  They are also capable of using it to fly through the air at incredible speeds.

Sound Manipulation- Siren is able to channel their voice to unleash a powerful blast of sound from her mouth in the form of a scream which can fluctuate in power from knocking people off their feet to blasting a hole through several tons of solid concrete.

Enhanced Strength- Do not let the Siren's seemingly fragile state fool you. They are much stronger than they look, being able to reduce a mundane human to a pile of broken bones with one kick and can rip metal doors off their hinges, and with enough effort, can even hold off other high-tier metahumans in physical combat for quite a while.

Enhanced Mobility-Is able to sprint, duck, swerve and pull off various other parkour-style moves with little effort. Not enough to dodge bullets but definitely enough to outmaneuver a punch as long they focus.

Enhanced Durability- Although not indestructible, the Siren is durable enough to shrug off most forms of small-caliber gunfire and withstand intense blunt force trauma, such as drops from the tops of buildings without a scratch and surviving being pounded into the ground enough to leave a crater with only minor injuries.

Regeneration- The Siren has fairly potent self-healing capabilities that allow it to slowly recover from almost any form of injury, be it simply bruises or sprained limbs, up to more severe injuries like stab wounds or having to reattach a severed limb.

Metamorphosis- As if the Siren's bag of tricks wasn't big enough already, they also have the ability to alter the shape of their body into a variety of other appearances that are limited mainly by the imagination. They can also form parts of their body into weapons like blades, maces, whips, and so on.

Fusion-Have the ability to combine with other members of their species to further augment their abilities.

-Overuse of psychic abilities can be detrimental to Siren's condition, ranging from simple fatigue and headaches up to more serious problems like bloody noses, pains in the chest and difficulty breathing.

-Another weakness is that enemies that are cybernetic, or even full-on robotic in nature, in fact, most otherworldly creatures such as energy beings,  seem to have an inherent immunity or high resistance to their psychic abilities.

-Their ability to influence feelings works both ways, so it is possible for them to end up experiencing any mental pain or anxieties their target is undergoing, thus further throwing off their ability to concentrate and form plans of attack.

-The Siren, being of an cosmic origin, has not had much time to adapt to the idea of magic and is thus more vulnerable to it than other forms of attack. Even healing magic can cause them pain.

-Siren's reaction skills are sub-par, at best, and thus it is possible to catch them off guard, especially if they are focusing on something else.

-Siren maybe durable, but that durability seems to stretch to mainly blunt force trauma, meaning it is still possible to injure her normally using things like bladed weapons, fire, electricity, and other such indirect means.  

-Although Siren has power over sound, she cannot use her sonic scream for long periods not only because of how draining it is but because of how sensitive their ears are to the noise, especially if they are in an area with a lot of noise pollution like a major metropolis.

-Siren's accelerated healing requires them to be outside of combat for it to take affect.

-The faster Siren flies, the more likely they are to experience turbulence and motion sickness over time, which usually occurs somewhere around 300 mph.

-The weapons Siren forges are powerful but are only as durable as their real-world counterparts, meaning once one of them breaks, it is unusable until Siren can regenerate it.

-Although their changes can be quite convincing, maintaining a full-body change can be exhausting in the long run and a couple of solid blows is enough to knock them back into their normal state and expose them.

-The two sometimes have conflicting opinions on what the best course of action is, which can lead to them dropping their guard or being overwhelmed by their opponent.

Spoiler:

-Alan and Aurora spend most of their time as The Siren for convenience sake, though they will sometimes separate so the former can have a bit of time with his/her own thoughts.

-They also have a strong love of sweets and can sometimes be found delivering them to local shelters and what not.
