Maybe it's just in Greek mythology. I've never heard of a siren as a fish, just mermaids. But when I took mythology in school, they were only described as birds. This was partially why they used songs to lure people in. They were birds. Mermaids had similar traits, such as luring men into crashing into rocks at sea. Sirens were a part of the story of Odysseus. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odysseus#The_Sirens

I was wondering to...Ctathos wrote:What about Crestvari or Krestvari? Where'd you get those?Aldia wrote:I had come up with the variation of Aldia from a character in a game called the Bouncer, named Kaldia because I had fallen in love with the games characters and story.
And as for the last name, I had taken the the last name of a friend's character from Star Wars Galaxies (Crestrunner.)
hahahahaha.
Sirens are typically Fish-women. Not from origin though.
I think somewhere down the line people started getting confused between Sirens and "Harpies" so the general myth changed them from Bird-women to fish-women.
Stories say that Sirens would lure sailors to the cliffs where they'd crash on the rocks and drown, then be devoured.

Larkit. I usually make up names, and later find out which meaning it has (and if it has none - skip it) - sort of "reverse engineering" the name after I make it up.
Lares, the name of the Roman deities or supernatural house-protectors (singularis Lar) make sense in the way I originally pictured Larkit's behaviour and makes up the first part of the name. Kit is not derived from a kit (utility, container, etc.), but the English word kitten.
But, the name is basically just a play on words, so don't put too much meaning into it.
