Editing Siren: The Drowning (section)

==The Abyssal Currents==

Not all Sirens are all that enthused with their mission of preventing an apocalyptic disaster while fending off sea monsters, people who want to eat their immortality-granting flesh, and mundane assholes making the planet a worse place. So they just fuck off and do their own thing. They're not always evil, per se, but they are selfish and tend to make the jobs of their fellow sirens much harder.

===Acheron===

The problem with recruiting people who've fallen to despair, even just the ones who find the will to not kill themselves, is that you get some very dark and unstable minds on your side. And sometimes, these people turn out to be a little too omnicidal for people who are supposed to be saving the world. Sirens of the Acheron current despaired just like all the others, but instead of Surfacing because they found something in the world worth living for, they decided to live on in the hopes of being able to destroy the world that caused their sorrow. Acherons thus attempt to bring about the Deluge, instead of preventing it. They don't know how it's going to happen any more than the others, but they generally figure that if they cause enough problems, eventually something will stick.

This of course, does ''not'' make them popular, and they're killed on sight even by the other Abyssal Currents. The bad news is that even this doesn't stop them; no matter how many the others kill and no matter how sure they are that ''this time'' they've wiped the bastards out completely, the Current of Acheron always pops up again to cause more trouble. And even doing that isn't easy, since unlike the Pure and the Sabbat, Acheron doesn't work out in the open. They have no desire to dominate or terrorize others, so they hide and let others do their work for them. Their usual modus operandi is to show up to a situation teetering on the brink of descending into total chaos and working to make it worse, hoping to prevent any resolution long enough for the powderkeg to ignite. 

===Cocytus===

Remember how the Current of Wisdom's main problem is that it pokes the things that shouldn't be poked and occasionally unleashes even worse problems? That's Cocytus in a nutshell. The Current of Dark Secrets seeks out hidden knowledge but remains generally uncaring of the reason said knowledge might have been hidden away. Still, since they're usually content to do their own thing and it's mostly their own necks on the line if they try to steal some artifact from a Vampire Elder, the other Currents generally tolerate them.

===Lethe===

The current of Humanity, Fuck Yeah! in its most toxic form. Lethe sirens actively ''encourage'' people to despoil the environment, because in their view, we've earned the right.

===Oceanus===

Somewhere in the Celestial Oceans, there lives a sea monster named Echidna, who survived the Deluge. She sees the Deluge as inevitable and instead wants to transform humanity into something that might survive it... which tends to mean mindless fish monsters, which is why this is an Abyssal current. Still, some desperate sirens choose her side in the desperate hope that they can preserve something of their loved ones.

===Phlegethon===

Several Abyssal currents believe the Deluge is inevitable. The Current of Acheron welcomes it, and the current of Oceanus works to survive it. The Current of Phlegethon, on the other hand, is composed of Sirens who've given up trying to fight the Deluge at all and instead decided to party their remaining days away and have as much fun as possible before the end.

===Styx===

The opposite of the current of Lethe, Styx represents nature at its worst and most vicious. They believe that the world would be a better place if humanity just disappeared and it returned to a merciless kill-or-be-killed state... with themselves as apex predators of course, because nobody would want to create such a dystopia if they didn't think they'd be at the top.
