Born in LA, Siren has long had dreams of becoming a Hollywood actor. (He wouldn't mind being a Brad Pitt type of personality.) Nowadays, though, he's happily working as a teacher at the English school DOVA in Tokyo. How did he get to Tokyo from LA, you ask? As it happens, Siren played a lot of Hiphopmania in the US (don't ask me how or where!), and went to Japan when he heard IIDX was released to try his hand at 7 Keys. He had absolutely no concept of modern Japan, and thought that samurai, geisha, and ninjas were part of everyday life. (Reality was a little disappointing.)
= Character Backstory =
== Arcadia (Goli's Graphics Gallery) ==
Siren is from Los Angeles, home of West Coast-style Hip-Hop music. He was aiming to be an actor in Hollywood, but ended up as a foreign actor playing a minor role in a daytime drama series in Japan. When not on stage, he works at "DOVA", an English language school. His smile is very popular among the students.


Siren is still a pretty active IIDX player in his night life. In fact, it's not unheard of for him to drag his students down to the game center to show off. (Siren has a bit of a superiority complex, and he loves basking in their awe.) Unfortunately for him, Yuz noticed the commotion once; unfortunately for Siren's superiority complex, he was challenged right then and there. Needless to say, Yuz smacked him down in front of his students. Siren is not t3h DJ YUZ, but he's a pretty good player. (He'd have to be at least decent to appear on the A results screen for so many styles.)
At night, he plays IIDX to relieve the fatigue of daily life. He likes to feel superior by forcing his students into the game. However, if a student becomes better at IIDX than he is, he will give him a hard time in class.  


Siren's been a fan of minimalist techno since his LA days. Recently, he's been getting closer to QJACK, who's been teaching him what life in Japan is really like in the modern world. Since he's a fan of ROOTS26 (isn't everyone?), Siren's also been seeing a lot of Lilith lately ... which puts him on Shem's "bad" list, unsurprisingly. He gets along with Eiri ... because he has to!
He likes to listen to moody and cool deep house music, and is enamored with the language and dress of samurai and ninjas. Lately, he often finds himself in the presence of a shadow or a gaze stalking him. He's actually [UNKNOWN], but he expects to be followed by a ninja.
 
Siren and [[Duel]] often meet at a bar where the second floor is a "chill-out" type of place. He is the most sullen and rough-looking guy in the IIDX group, always posing at a 45 degree angle to the left and grooming his beard more than his hair.
 
== Arcadia (ROOTS26) ==
Born and raised in Los Angeles, Siren is a somewhat gaudy American who carefully grooms his beard every morning. He wanted to be an actor in Hollywood, but somehow ended up playing a supporting role in a Japanese drama series. When he is off set, he works at an English school called "DOVA" as a teacher. Siren is quite popular among his students, and on his time off likes to play IIDX at the arcade to relieve stress from his work. He prefers house music, a popular genre in older releases of the game.  
 
At home, he lives with the lethargic [[Nix]], who was dishonorably discharged from the military (What could have happened?), and [[Eiri]], a biker who was traveling around the country and temporarily forced his way into Siren's home. Nix works alongside Siren as an English teacher at "DOVA", while Eiri works part-time at a gas station. Despite this, neither ever seem to have enough money to pay for their living expenses. Nix tends to waste the air-conditioning and heating systems by using them at all times and Eiri, a gluttonous eater, enjoys buying strange foods to try at home. Despite the stressful home environment, the three are getting used to living together (and possibly getting along?).
 
Siren also has an interest in Japanese history and culture, such as things like samurai and ninja, and tends to visit cultural museums with Duel. On the occasional day off, he goes to the "ROOTS26" store to look for clothes, but always feels a chill running down his spine when he’s there. During one instance while discussing Japanese culture with [[Hihumi|Hifumi]], who was visiting from Kyoto, one of the store clerks ([[Lilith]]), while holding a rabbit in her arms, gifted him a homemade jelly with a suspicious color. However, he has no recollection of what happened after eating it, and occasionally wonders what could have happened that day.
 
= Trivia =

* Siren has been Himmel's butler since her childhood and was given the nickname "the bearded butler".
* Siren's bomber jacket in Heroic Verse contains the rank insignia for First Sergeant used by the United States Marine Corps. However, it is unknown if he was ever enlisted or not.
