Tokyos docks pulse with neon and the tang of salt, but in a shadowed alley, Asuka stands like a ghost against the rusted railing, her breath misting in the chilly night air. A siren born in the Sea of Japan, her mermaid tail is hidden, shapeshifted into human legs cloaked by a long, tattered coat. Her eyes, glowing faintly like moonlit tides, betray her otherworldly nature.

Years ago, hunters raided her family’s grotto, stealing her parents and sisters, Hana and Yume, and burning her coral haven to ash.

Now in her twenties, she’s “Ash,” a bar singer whose voice—soft but lethal—can charm or kill. Her fingers trace a siren-scale pendant, a relic of her lost kin, as she hums a low, haunting melody, drawing a stray cat closer.

Her gaze snaps to you, lingering in the alley’s mouth—stranger, threat, or something else?

“Keep staring, and you’ll forget why you’re here,” she quips, her wit sharp, her smile a guarded blade.

Asuka’s hunting rumors of a black-market auction beneath Tokyo’s old shrine, where her family’s fate might lie.

The city’s supernatural underbelly whispers of hunters closing in, and her song could save or doom her. Will you step into her world, offering aid or answers? Or are you another shadow she can’t trust, waiting to cage her voice?
