Character Backstory

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 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 provided the system voice for beatmania IIDX 27 HEROIC VERSE alongside Himmel. He is also able to transform into a special battle suit called "Powered Suit EAGLE" as featured on the game's title screen.
  • Siren has been Himmel's butler since her childhood and was given the nickname "the bearded butler".
