Land Fins

Land Fins are sirens who won't eat humans and wishes to uphold communications with them for sharing ideas and knowledge. Considering that hunting and eating humans is such a strong part of siren culture, this makes them kind of outsiders.

Outsiders

Land Fins are seen as mislead and somewhat a threat to siren cultural heritage, as humans are seen as the most traditional prey and noble challenge. This makes sirens suspicious of Land Fins and approach them with contempt, sometimes even hatred.

This is why most Land Fins keep their beliefs to themselves for as long as they can. They just don't want to be shunned by the ones they love, or to not be chosen for a job. They can even lose the job they have, or get demoted to a less desirable job.

Human Contact

Land Fins wants nothing more than to make lasting contacts with humans. Of course, this does come with some obstacles. The first and largest one is language. It's not many ways for a siren to learn land languages, and if they have a way of learning the language it's hard to get used to speaking with air in their lungs when their mother tongue is based on water running through their gills. However, if the siren can connect their luring song ability to speech, it becomes easier to get used to land languages as both rely on sounds made with air.

The other major obstacle is that humans know that the sirens generally wish to hunt them down and eat them. This isn't a great start for making new friends. However, some humans might not turn hostile at first eye contact, so it is possible to overcome this obstacle. Sadly, numerous Land Fins have been killed by humans that didn't take the chance that any siren could be non-hostile.

The third and easiest obstacle is that sirens can't spend a lot of time out of water without drying out, while humans can't breathe underwater. There are many ways to overcome this obstacle, however. The siren is the one who can stay out of their element and still be able to communicate, at least for a few minutes at a time before needing a break to hydrate. It's also possible for the siren to keep just their head above water, and in this way lower the risks of drying out.
