Karyx

True form of Syren.

She appears almost human at first glance—framed by long, dark hair that falls naturally around her face—but the illusion breaks as you linger. Her skin carries the subtle texture of living flesh marked by scars and faint discoloration, as if healed over countless wounds. High cheekbones and symmetrical features give her an unsettling beauty, enhanced by vivid green eyes that seem alive with awareness rather than rage. They don't glow theatrically; instead, they catch the light like altered irises, suggesting something engineered or evolved rather than supernatural. Her expression is calm and controlled, lips relaxed, conveying quiet confidence rather than overt aggression.

Around her shoulders and upper torso, organic growths emerge like hardened cartilage or bone—thorned, layered, and fused seamlessly into muscle. These structures feel functional, not decorative, as though they protect vital areas or anchor hidden strength beneath the surface. Any traces of blood are minimal and dried, more like stains than fresh gore, reinforcing the sense that this creature exists in a real, physical world. She doesn't look feral or chaotic; she looks deliberate—an apex being shaped by purpose, intelligence, and restraint, standing at the line between beauty and something profoundly inhuman.
