Real Name: Theresa Maeve Roruke Cassidy
Codename: Siryn
Age: 23
Appearance:
Personality: Theresa is strong in her own right and very self assured and independent. Her cousin, Tom, had no time for her (after all he was in and out of jail) so she grew up on her own, taught herself how to function with as little attention from others as was possible. She also learned how to use people to get what she wants. Her mutation helped her get whatever she wanted or needed. She plays mute with everyone, preferring to act invisible and gain knowledge than to be called upon. She is quick and sly, as her criminal heritage demanded. Despite being as viscous as her cousin she will easily bend to another's will if they can prove stronger than her, but she will fight them for their dominance. She puts on a mask when around people her own age. it’s the common Party Girl one, and that is a true part of herself, its just guarded around all, but her friends.
Powers: Siryn possesses sonic powers similar to those of her father Banshee, although she is able to use her powers in ways that he apparently cannot. Like her father, she can emit high-decibel "sonic screams". She can also vary the pitch to deflect projectiles, and she even used it to deflect lasers once. She possesses an enhanced sense of hearing and can use her voice for echolocation. While screaming Siryn is able to fly, apparently due to a limited psionic ability, at Mach 1 speeds. Siryn has especially potent sonic attacks. She can shatter objects, project sonic force, or cause pain and unconsciousness.
Siryn is able to subtly influence and control others with her sonic voice, as well as cause them to enter a trancelike hypnotic state. This ability likens her to the mythical Sirens. Siryn can prevent others from hearing external sounds so that she can secretly deliver messages to them.
Siryn has developed the ability to influence human beings with a certain pitch of her voice, causing them to fall in love with her (without regard to gender or sexual orientation) and carry out her wishes and commands.
Brief History: While Sean Cassidy was working on a deep undercover mission for INTERPOL, his wife Maeve gave birth to their daughter, Theresa. Not much later, Maeve died in an IRA bombing. With no means to contact Sean, his cousin Tom took care of Theresa. When Sean returned to learn of his wife’s death, he was devastated. Before Tom could even tell him of the existence of his daughter, Sean lashed out at Tom with his sonic scream for not having taken better care of Maeve. While Sean flew away in anger, Tom fell into a chasm, breaking his leg as a result of the attack, which left him with a limp. Angrily, Tom swore to make Sean pay and vowed to never tell him about his daughter, raising her himself instead.
Tom (now known as Black Tom) would raise Theresa as his apprentice in his criminal activities. Eventually, Theresa accompanied Black Tom and his then-partner, the Juggernaut, to San Francisco to assist him in his crimes. Here, employing the name Siryn, she battled Spider-Woman and several of the X-Men. This conflict ended in Black Tom's temporary capture. While in custody, Black Tom exonerated Theresa of responsibility for her crimes and wrote a letter to Sean explaining who she was. The X-Men brought Theresa back to their headquarters, where she was reunited with her father.
Things did not go so well and she refused to acknowledge her biological father as her true father, saying Tom had raised her and that Sean did not care about her. When he claimed to not have known she was even born, that was the last straw for Theresa, she quit speaking to the man all together. As soon as Black Tom was released from incarceration he went to the X-Men and showed them the court’s papers that meant Theresa was his daughter, not Sean’s, and before anyone could protest the duo were gone, back to Magneto and the Brotherhood, where Theresa believed she fit in better. There were no rosy glasses, naive children, or idealist old men here to force their beliefs on her. She loved it so much that even after her eighteenth birthday she continued working for Magneto, believing in his point of view. Mutants were the victim, they deserved to be able to fight back, Humans were nothing to her, toys and pawns to be manipulated as she demanded.
