Bridge Nocturne | Original Character

Player: Usami | [plurk.com profile] usamichan13
Character: Bridge Nocturne
Canon: Original Character
Age: 17
Bio Blurb: (No Wiki, but here's a profile for him in another game he's in.) An aspiring teenage musician living in a world of magic and trying to deal with issues from his past. Also, he's half-Siren (even though he looks like a mermaid).

Preferred Essence(s): I'm heavily considering Orpheus from Greek Mythology (which would have a bit of irony, considering).
Looking For: Something music-related. I also wouldn't mind something that might put him in a "damsel"-type role.

Appearance: How he generally looks. I also use Nathan Sharp (NateWantstoBattle) as a PB.

Abilities: As a siren, he has the ability to hypnotize people through the power of his song. He can also slightly manipulate a person's emotions based on the music he plays (fast-paced songs generate excitement, slow-paced songs generate sadness, etc.), but this can only be done while he's singing.

In the world he comes from, Sirens are able to drain someone's energy to nourish themselves, though this can only be done to someone influenced by their song. And while Bridge is also able to do this, he generally prefers not to, though he does tend to eat a substantial amount of food to replace the energy.

Because he is half-human, he generally appears human on land. When submerged in water, though, he can change to a Siren form, where he gains a fish-like tail and fins, and all his abilities are enhanced. In this Siren form, Bridge has a limited ability to manipulate water in his immediate area. He also has a different form that gives him wings, and can be done on land, but he doesn't have the ability to manipulate water in this form.

Some sirens in this world have unique sound-based abilities. For Bridge, he can detect even the faintest of sounds with sharp clarity over great distances.

Quirks: While he is already a pretty talented musician, Orpheus' essence will probably ramp up his ability to charm people with his music up to 11. I also am toying with the idea of him randomly breaking out into song on occasion.

Extra: While I'm really considering Orpheus, I am still open to suggestions. Putting him as a princess/damsel-type might be kind of fun too, or even a mermaid (which he will hate, because he insists that mermaids and Sirens are different, dangit).

Questions: Considering how Orpheus died in most stories, how would death by dismemberment work in this setting?
