DESCRIPTION and HISTORY

K'kh'k'kh'ka'ka, Kiki on land, is a siren from the school of sirens that roam off the coast of Oyat (Tripoli) on Mediterranean Sea. As a child she loved to listen to the songs of older sisters as they drew men from their ships to frolic with the older sisters. She trained to be one of the singers for most of your youth. Later, she learned the truth of that frolicking and the truth about what happened to the men afterward. Horrified, she stopped eating the special meat served after sailors were lured to the school.

Eight years ago, a boat rowed past the school and did not get lured to the sirens' song. She swam up close to the ship and saw a man tied to the mast of the ship, begging the other men to let him go to the sisters. But, the other seemed deaf to his cries, and to the sisters' song. She would never forget a man had heard the sacred song, even if she thought the songs were probably actually profane.

Recently, word reached the sisters that the man who had escaped them years ago had sailed past once again far to the north. She volunteer to hunt him down. Her sisters wanted her to find him and bring him back for the injustice of having escaped the song. She volunteered to help make sure the sisters never found the man.

So, she left her home to live among the surface dwellers. She knew deep down the sisters had sent her on this mission because her refusal to eat the men was starting to become an issue with the younger sirens. A self-imposed exile seemed like the best way to stay true to her ideals.
