AI summary
Transforms you into a Siren "Queen", the fifteenth-ranked Ixseed of Disboard: an absurdly attractive ocean-dwelling, female-only race with pointed ears, hair of any colour and light-reflecting scales in place of legs. Sirens are universally believed to be blissful airheads interested only in play and reproduction, easy prey for anyone with a scrap of intelligence — a reputation they deliberately cultivate and exploit to terrifying effect. Beneath the charismatic, flirty carelessness lies a patient, highly intelligent and subtle mind that steers its prey without their ever noticing, luring predators into merciless traps at a level of cunning other races take centuries to even suspect; in this version their canonical water-elemental composition is replaced with magic and conceptual alignments.

Effects
56The Siren or Mermaid's are the Fifteenth ranked Ixseeds hailing from the world of Disboard. (No Game, No Life).
By drinking this Essence with an attractive look and seductive aura, yet somehow tastes like the ocean, you find yourself transforming into a Siren "Queen".
Siren as a whole are considered by others to be an absurdly attractive female-only race that live their lives in the ocean.
Siren look mainly humanoid, have pointed ears, their hair comes in all kinds of colors, their lower half is decorated with attractive scales that reflect light, in place of their legs and feet they have a fishlike tail ending in dress-like fins.
In the perception of others, Siren seem to live a life filled with them only being interested in playing around and mating, and that they are very blissful yet ignorant in nature, even when faced with their own extinction.
In short: they are considered to be airheaded idiots that lack intelligence and are completely focused on reproduction and therefore should be easily exploited by anyone with even a hint of intelligence.
Siren Encourage, Use, and Utterly Exploit this reputation to a Terrifying Degree.
All known Sirens in the setting act in a charismatic, playful, and flirty manner and display careless behavior but underneath that is a highly Intelligent, Cunning and Subtle mind of a patient and ruthless hunter, fully willing to play the long game to deceive others to get what they want.
The behavior shown to others is used by the Siren in a subtle manner to get their prey to do what they want them to do without them ever realizing that fact.
For those that target and Predate upon the siren, they subtly lure them into a merciless trap with their behavior, as seen by the fact that the Dhampir's of the setting tried to chow down on the siren and the siren in turn mercilessly neutered their race, slowly picking them off overtime until there is only 1 male left, who still thinks that he is smarter than the siren around him.
The level of cunning used in Siren plots will take multiple centuries to cotton on to by other races, that is, if they ever can conceive of the mere mention that Sirens are capable of deception.
One thing, in the setting Siren are completely filled with Water Elementals, but since there is no good explanation for how that functions, it has been replaced with magic and conceptual alignments.
The Siren race is in terms and applications of magic, completely aligned to the concepts of Attraction, Seduction, Water and Ocean to an absurd degree.
This means for this essence that they passively Attract magic from seemingly nowhere, and somehow Seduce it into becoming more whilst they are in touch with Water, with the result that their magical capabilities will increase over time, this effect increases drastically when in the Ocean.
Magic related to these 4 concepts comes utterly easy to any Siren that even remotely dabbles in them, outside of these concepts will take a bit more effort.
These concepts also affect them passively to the degree that all sirens are considered utterly beautiful and attractive to anyone that does not have outright Magical Immunity, as only those that do, see the Siren for their true beauty, which is still quite attractive just not to absurd levels that others perceive it as.
The same goes for your voice, making your singing quite good for those with immunity, and for those without, utterly captivating.
For Siren, the supernatural beauty, attraction and singing that affects others is simply considered normal and does not affect them to any supernatural degree.
The beings that live in the ocean, both plant and animal, fall under the dominion of the Siren and simply do what the Siren in question wants them to do when asked for, this is due to their conceptual alignment, and allows them to construct their own self-sustained nation in the ocean and allows for safe alterations of sea biomes and excellent utilization of maritime resources in a sustainable manner to a supernatural degree.
This works on the level of guided evolution that takes place in front of your eyes and if a Siren Queen asks either an ocean dweller or a plant to change, it changes.
The downside of their absurd Water affinity is that they will die when they are more than an hour out of the water.
All Siren are capable of sight, even in complete darkness in the deepest part of an ocean with no downsides even when coming into sudden contact with light sources.
Neither do they suffer from existing at any depth in an ocean or lake, Siren do prefer to build their homes in oceans rather than lakes.
The Siren have the ability to enter a self-crystalizing cryo sleep allowing them to sleep for millennia inside with no consequence and this works even outside of the ocean, they are also capable of communicating with anything alive without any language barrier, this works even in the cold sleep, however to the Siren in question the conversation will be held in a dream-like manner.
Whilst in this state, Sirens are next to invulnerable due to the crystalline shell that has formed around them.
When a Siren desire offspring, they tend to attract suitable males in an unconscious manner even from far away, this can even include other realities.
All Sirens reproduce by extracting the soul parts of males from other species and converting it into a soul of their own race inside their womb.
They will give birth to another Siren after a week safely and without consequences nor do they have any inconveniences during their pregnancy.
Furthermore, any Siren child will grow within 4 days to a similar size, look and capabilities of an 8 year old human, they still take 20 years to mature into adulthood though.
Raising Siren's comes surprisingly easy to you.
Because of this Essence, there are 2 types of Siren, the normal variant which are the most numerous and loyally follow their chosen Queen's orders.
They are capable of reproducing with others, but this can be done safely, but was generally detrimental to the life of the male in question, due to the fact that they tend to grab most of their soul in one go and devour their body during the time of war, that way there would be no tracing things back to them.
For the sake of this essence, a normal Siren has bad odds of giving birth to a queen variant, to be specific it is 1 in 100'000 odds.
The Queen Siren (Which is You) on the other hand are capable of reproduction simply by touching a male and taking an amount of soul essence equivalent to a single lock of hair that can be regenerated by the person themselves within 24 hours and convert it in their womb into a Siren equivalent, your fellow siren can do this as well, but during the great war they tended to keep up the pretense of killing their reproduction partner in order to keep secret that the Siren were no Limited by Tet's Laws.
Siren Queens also have an alternative reproduction method, as long as a Queen is in the Ocean, they can simply reproduce with the spirits in the ocean (AKA Magic) and produce a child in this way.
A Queen can however still kill their mate if they take too much of their soul,
Be aware, the odds of a Queen variant being birthed by another Queen is about one in a hundred.
All Queen Siren form their own court of loyal followers (Siren) and know instinctively how to use them to the best of their capabilities.
The Queen's abilities and magic are also more powerful and efficient by 2 magnitudes in comparison.
A Siren Queen's charisma alone is strong enough to bend the will of other nations and can be considered near divine in strength, even when they are perceived as airheaded idiots.
Furthermore, Queen Siren have an instinctive mastery of economics, politics and other things needed to run a functional power, this mastery greatly expands as their knowledge, wisdom and experience increases in these subjects.
There can be multiple Queens each with their own court in a nation, with the most capable of them being called an Empress that guides the overall direction of said nation.
Siren have a lifespan of around 3 millennia.
Siren will not like working more than 6 hours a day, Plan accordingly.
Siren can choose and switch between which Queen they serve, it takes heavy abuse and/or great amounts of incompetence to make a Siren reconsider whose court they serve with loyalty.
You will be their first Empress if that is what you desire, you will then have to select in time at least 2 successors with one of them being the primary.
Siren gain instinctive knowledge on how to use underwater materials, plants and animals, this includes but is not limited to construction, farming, cooking, medicinal usage and whatever else you think is appropriate.
Options The following are options that you may choose to use in conjunction with this Essence.
Option 1 - The option where you are not going to the NGNL setting.
If chosen, You have the one-time ability to create 800 Sirens plus any necessary supplies enough for them to survive for a year, and use them to build an ocean town, the supplies include enough seed and underwater creatures to set themselves up to a self-sufficient nation.
Option 2 - The option where you go to NGNL setting (on the world named: Disboard).
Sub option 1 - You may choose to reincarnate into the setting as a newborn Siren Queen either During the Great War, or after the enforcement of Tet's rules, you can even be found in cold sleep, yet were never awoken until now.
Sub option 2 - You may choose to be brought to the setting by Tet after the Great war ended and be transformed into a Siren Queen.
Regardless of what sub option you choose, the time period is yours to decide and you may or may not know Blank or even were friends and/or associates of them.
Option 3 - Amount of children per touch and per soul essence taken.
You may as an option increase the amount of children per touch or soul essence taken if outside of Disboard, there will be a hard limit of up to 12, the children are still born 1 per birth though, and all siren gain a small soul Essence storage inside themselves, if in Disboard you will have to research a way to allow for this option to happen.
ChoicesOption 4 - Additional Essence Inclusion
You can use multiple Essences in conjunction with this one, you may alter other Essences in a minor way so that they fit the Siren theme, furthermore any essences functions are multiplied by 2 magnitudes for Queen Siren if this is desired and can be applied.
ChoicesOption 5 - Multiversal portals
You and your descendants have the special ability to make Dimensional Ocean Portal that only they and the Siren can traverse, these are permanent once placed.
The portal's exit will always form itself in an ocean or deep lake on another world, it is up to you to select whether this is in another reality or simply in your universe.
A thing to note, the portal needs some kind of liquid to form itself in.
The Siren will always know where their kin exist, thus allowing them to track them even in other realities.
ChoicesOption 6 - Drawing in the Damned and the Corrupted
As an option you may choose to draw People of Both genders in from across realities that can at their best be described either as Scum of the Earth that no one will miss or so far corrupted that they cannot even hope to be restored.
Not even Death Gods will blame you for Recycling their souls, this option will also allow you to harvest female souls as well.
The Sirens now sense the direction of these Damned Souls on the world that they are on and even the approximate distance and will simply snatch them on sight.
Those that have Damned themselves by their own hand are torn apart to make multiple siren, those that are Damned or Corrupted by the actions of others have their soul torn out, and are reborn as a Siren Queen and will fully recover from whatever damned or corrupted them.
This option makes the siren extremely good at recycling souls and may allow for multiple simultaneous births from a single soul.
ChoicesOption 7 - Inner Ocean
This option allows you to stay whatever race you were before, you partook of this essence and not transform into a Siren, rather this option allows you to create Siren all by yourself.
Thankfully now the whole charismatic deception thing that the siren race have going on, does not work on you, does gets you some respect from them for cottoning onto it.
Just don't bother convincing others what the siren are up to, they will think that you're mad or something.
You can however, at any point in this life or the ones that come after, transform into a Siren Queen at will, be aware this is permanent and can happen multiple times per your choice.
You get an Inner Sea in which a colony of Siren comes into being, they number at least 800 initially.
They are already self-sufficient if lacking in variety for food sources. (aquatic animals & plants).
Your inner sea scales in size and depth and with the amount of Siren living there, it starts at a radius of 50'000 kilometers and expands by 200km radius for each additional Siren within it or one that portals into it with the intention of joining its nation, this radius does not decrease upon death by individual siren.
Congratulations, you are now a living aquarium and have some pretty fishies that use Souls to reproduce.
You are globally aware of anything happening inside your inner sea and you can hear your name being called for attention anytime but require focus to form a mental avatar and use it to perceive and talk to anyone inside.
Further, you can even enter your Inner Sea at will, however there is a time limit of 1 year for staying inside, and if you hit said limit you are forced to stay outside the Inner Sea for 24 hours.
On the up-side you now passively supply parts of your soul for the reproduction of new sirens without any consequences or pain for yourself as you regenerate them immediately.
This process happens even if you are already a Siren yourself, and only works with this option.
You produce approximately 1 soul part per 100 siren per day, this does Requires them to be within your Inner Sea or in your Oceanic Aura.
This however is only for the siren to reproduce with, you yourself create passively 1 mature siren every day in your inner sea and only 1 in a 10'000 of these is a Queen variant.
You have a passive Ocean-like aura that has a radius of 100 km around you, that allows the Siren to exist and swim inside it as if they were in the sea without problems it satisfies all environmental needs except for food and allows them to swim into the air as long as they do it within your aura, this may affect yourself when you are a siren yourself.
The highest that you yourself can swim upwards with help from your aura is 49km, this is because your aura radiates from you as its center point and still needs to touch either the ocean or the ground on its lowest part.
The Siren still can't swim through solids though.
Further, in this aura Siren can Snatch people into the Inner Sea if they desire to do so.
And can choose whether they drown immediately in the Inner Sea or exist at their mercy for a while.
In the event that a siren does not exist within water and falls outside the range of your aura they are immediately teleported back inside your inner sea via the safety mechanism.
Your inner sea has the function of the Lifestream from Gaia. (Final Fantasy).
It connects with all Siren and collects their memories, consciousness, souls and life force of those that have died connected to it for the next generation.
It will then impart the collective knowledge, wisdom and life experiences to the ones born within it, causing all Siren to grow stronger with each successive generation.
This also passively empowers you.
Upon death, the Siren that is connected to the Lifestream will be reborn in your inner sea as a child born by another siren and count as the next generation when that happens.
Every generation of empowerment for the siren takes place in the span of 50 years and doubles their power.
Because of the fact that the Queen Siren generated by this essence all have this process, normal Siren will consider the continued survival of a Queen Siren above their own life.
Your inner sea exists as a perfect ecosystem, with allowances made for your siren to allow them to farm and greatly benefit from it.
Any kind of underwater plant/animal will flourish in your inner sea when introduced, even if you harvest all of them, you will find that they have regrown to their original numbers the next day.
All forms of underwater plant or animal life that is newly introduced into the Inner sea, is seamlessly taken into the ecosystem further perfecting it, you and your fellow siren easily make land based plants/animals into an ocean version with some work.
Sirens can at will manifest themselves in any part of your aura and can make portals in any liquid to any inner sea that exists and only Sirens can traverse these.
They tend to make and collect new aquatic life-forms and plant life as needed or desired and are fully willing to Tithe some of them for you if you ask.
They are highly protective of you and are willing to listen to your words within reason, as with you, they can now traverse and explore the land.
Sirens that are in your Inner Sea can choose to perceive anything happening within your aura's radius, and will act if needed to protect you.
You are optionally ageless and cannot be killed by either disease or poison.
Further you may allow your soul to become inviolable due to it being a literal Inner Sea and will allow for Reincarnation as a side effect, with complete memories and personality that are restored even if they were previously destroyed, erased or altered, this does turn you into a Queen Siren even if you weren't one initially.
It is also possible to set it so that you will eventually respawn as an adult into an ocean a few years after your death.
In the event of your death, the siren can still use your Inner Sea, even portal into it, they just cannot exit out of it until you are back.
This Essence, its options and any additional Essences can be passed on to your offspring if desired, in the event that you are a Siren Queen, this option only passes on to another Queen.
ChoicesOption 8 - Best Friends for Life
One or more best friends, they share your lifespan, and in the event that you are reborn, so are they.
You will always get along with them, and they will balance you out and help push each other forward.
All of them are still Siren though.
Author's notes
Siren are Omnivore's that during the Great War, literally kidnapped and ate males from other species after their soul was ripped out for reproductive purposes.
Thankfully they prefer other food sources than sentient meat, it's just during that time most lifeforms simply died out.
The ability of the Sirens have been given a bit of a change in order to allow them to function outside of disboard due to lack of spirits.
If you take option 5 and 7 you and your descendants may traverse and survive the portals into other realities of the siren with their help regardless of your race, you just cannot make them yourself.
If it disturbs you that they eat souls, you may change it so that they eat the Aura of the Soul, this will still kill them if a normal Siren does it due to the immediate case of lack of Aura. (RWBY).
For the sake of this essence all siren will attract and generate their own magical energy.
Lifespan was put intentionally into the millennia, due to population issues. (That and there is no official lifespan yet, other than a mention of being in cryo sleep for 800 years.)
Siren "Queens" do not actually exist in the Setting of No Game No Life.
They are a lie fabricated by the Siren in order to make them out to be no threat to others.
Because if Siren were considered to be an actual threat by other species, then they would most likely die out, the sheer things that other species are capable of in that setting would ensure it.
