## Powers and Abilities

* **Immortality:** Shinigami Sirens cannot die due to their paternal heritage and can remain youthful for all of eternity.
* **Accelerated Healing:** Shinigami Sirens can regenerate from damage sustained on their bodies and appear to be superior to even the likes of an Original vampire.
* **Telepathy:** Sirens, seemingly from their previous psychic heritage, can enter into the minds of another person to read their thoughts and access their memories. This was initially done using their voice as a guide, but has since been refined into singing. They can strengthen this with physical contact, allowing them to search the entire mind of their victims and even alter their memories. This ability is superior to a vampire's as they don't require eye or even physical contact, but the ability is seemingly inferior to an Immortal's given the resistance some can have to it.
* **Mind Control:** Shinigami Sirens can take over the minds of their victims, even to the point of shutting them down. The victims are conscious of this interaction as it creates a psychic rapport between siren and servant.
* **Memory Manipulation:** Shinigami Sirens possess the ability to manipulate and change the memories of the victims under their control.
* **Psychic Pain Infliction:** Shinigami Sirens can induce extreme amounts of pain through their telepathic powers. Zoë was able to use this technique on Chase Choi - Belova, which was strong enough to manifest physical symptoms, such as coughing up blood and nose bleeds, while being separated great distances and maintaining normal appearances.
* **Claws:** Shinigami Sirens possess sharp claws and can use them to inflict fatal wounds onto humans; their claws have only manifested when severely deprived of food or when their power had been siphoned. It is unknown if they can manifest them willingly.
* **Aquatic Respiration:** Shinigami Sirens appear to have some form of underwater adaptation.
* **Death Note**: The main thing all Shinigami have in common is the Death Note. This supernatural notebook allows them to end the lives of humans before their times, adding the human's remaining lifespans to their own. In this manner, a Shinigami can extend their lives indefinitely. To assist in this, their eyes allow them to see the names and remaining lifespans of humans by seeing the faces of their victims, even if their names are not officially registered. They are able to give Shinigami Eyes to humans they posses per a deal, in exchange for half of that human's remaining lifespan. The halved lifespan the human loses are given to the Shinigami that they are making the trade with. Shinigami give this ability to the human by placing their open hand above the human's head.
