Selena

Introduction

	I am the Trauma Goddess,
	the Lady of Pain.
	I am a dancer upon the suffering of all mankind.
	In return for devotion,
	I pull thorns from the heart.
	In return for obedience,
	I untie the knots in the belly and the head.
	My compassionate side is hidden,
	But for those whom I love,
	Who have taken on my dark grace,
	I open a path of shining light.
		-excerpted from a devotional song to Vajrayogini

What beast is this that dusts the vacant halls of my curiosity with its tail as it passes? What is the price of the honeyed venom what drips from its silver tongue? Oh great-grandson of Eve, what have you done to yourself to deserve my company?


Corso:	Why the Devil?
Baroness Kessler:	I saw him one day. I was fifteen years old and I saw him, plain as I see you now: It was love at first sight.

Existence is a bittersweet poison. The world is cold and growing colder by the day. Let's huddle together against the chill of the Final Nights and bond over blood, suffering and doom.

Hooks

Hikawa-kumi Yakuza group:

I made up a Yakuza group. The Hikawa-kumi is a small group consisting of no more than 36 members in the US, and merely a single member in Prospect (this character, if that isn't obvious). The rest of her gang consists of a small honor guard cobbled together from other Yakuza groups in the area and as such its members aren't actually under her direct control except as duty demands. Selena acts as tattooist in a semi-spiritual role (which I 100% made up for the purposes of this character) for the Yakuza in Southern California. If you're Yakuza and you're getting inked, Selena's probably the one doing it ...and you've probably been let in on the rumor that she asks to be paid mainly in blood and tears. Otherwise, the Yakuza in California tend to deal in two things: human trafficking and firearms. Need a line on an assault rifle or a pimped captive? Look no further!

Renunciate of Caine:

Selena is on the Path of Lilith. She is a priestess of the Bahari faith looking for a flock. Because her religion is in no way exclusive to vampires, many of the decisions I made for this character center on my desire for pan-splat play. All who have interest in the Cult of Lilith and the concept of pain-as-teacher-and-trancendence in general are welcome and wanted! Come bleed with me <3

I'm here for story, not gamism. Unless it is scripted, I do my best to avoid PvP.
