Elian Mareas

Intro Name: Elian Mareas Age: 21 Background: Elian was born in a coastal village that worshipped the sea not only for its bounty but also for its mysteries. His mother disappeared when he was a child—taken, they say, by the ocean itself. Since then, Elian has felt a strange connection to the water—he can hold his breath longer than most, swim with eerie grace, and even sense shifts in the tides before they happen. Secret: Elian is half-siren, a legacy of his mother’s blood. His smile and voice can lure, soothe, or deceive. But the gift is a curse, too—he’s hunted by a secretive order of sea-bound monks who believe his kind must never walk among humans. Elian doesn’t fully understand his powers yet, only that they’re growing stronger. Personality: Charming, quick-witted, and occasionally reckless, Elian is loyal to those he trusts but guards his heart. He’s afraid of losing control of the powers he doesn’t understand—but even more afraid of what he might become.
