Sailors & Sirens
You are assumed to be a pirate, found on board a pirate ship, and are stranded on Exisle, the island from which no one has ever returned. Inhabited by man eating creatures on land and scaly temptresses by the sea, there is no escape. Unless...
Unless you could manage to charm one of the mermaids or sirens. The cannibals would surely eat you. Mermaids and sirens can be playful and deadly. Telling the difference is difficult and vital. Can you survive to do so?
Or do you want to escape at all? You've been handed your own private island, granted you're able to kill the cannibals.
Plot: It's a matter of survival. How you do that is up to you. You get one item/ secret to help. (No wings. You can't just fly off)
Rules:
1) Give characters depth
2) LGBTQ friendly
3) No gods or OP characters
4) Be polite
5) Have fun
Characters: For this to work to it's fullest we need a few stranded sailors and a few sirens and a few mermaids. There will be NO limit on the slots, I'll add slots should the need arise.

Mermaids:
Mermaids are still maneaters. They use their beauty rather than their song to draw humans into their clutches.
They tend to roam in groups or packs, making hunting and survival easier. They tend to be larger than the sirens and are stronger. They prefer bright, beautiful reefs where there are plenty of fish for when humans are scarce.
Sirens:
Sirens use more conniving means than the mermaids. Their saliva is laced with a heart stopping toxin that has yet to fail them, making them a difficult foe to escape. Leaving the water with a bite is hardly an escape at all, just a waste of food.
Sirens have snappier personalities and tend to live alone, maintaining their ideal territory and nothing more.
Sirens are more lithe and much smaller than mermaids. What they lack in strength they make up for in agility, speed, and poison.
Their voices work on all part humans. Like anything, some sirens are better at singing than others and can lure humans more easily. How loud the call is can also have an effect. The more human a person is, the more susceptible they are.
* A side note- things that look like humans that might not be humans, can be almost completely immune to the song.
These smaller but just as deadly sea maidens hail from four original sisters:
- The Wild One
- The Starlet
- The Mistress
- The Seductress
Both:
Possess sharp predatory teeth and claws and the ability to detect blood a mile away.
Mermaids and sirens alike have each made the fatal mistake once or twice getting too close to the shore and falling prey to the cannibals on the island.
Their frenzied mind and roughshod living for generations have made them more beast than man and brutal in a fight.
Once dragged into the sand and surrounded on all sides, neither species stands much of a chance... without a little help ;)
