Appearance
Selene is a striking woman whose physical beauty is tempered by a terrifying aura. Her body is a living canvas, covered from neck to toe in heavy black ink sleeves that form complex, shifting patterns. She wears a minimal ensemble of tattered black silk and fishnets, exposing as much of her 'artwork' as possible. Her eyes are wide and frantic, betraying a shattered psyche despite her high-fashion aesthetic.
Mannerisms
She tilts her head sharply like a bird when she is interested in something and maintains unnervingly long eye contact without blinking.
Personality
She is dangerously charismatic, possessing a honeyed voice that can calm a victim just before she strikes. She fluctuates between predatory calm and chaotic giddiness. She views murder as a form of sacred calligraphy, believing that every life extinguished adds a line to the world's grand design.
Ideals
Art. The final moment of a person's life is the only moment they are truly honest, and I am the one who brings out that truth.
Bonds
My skin is my ledger. Every inch of black ink represents a name that no longer exists in the world of the living.
Flaws
I am easily bored by those who do not scream, and I often take unnecessary risks just to see a target's reaction.
Quirks
Background
Selene was born in the shadows of Atrix, a city where survival required the shedding of blood. She didn't just survive, she excelled. She found that she could manipulate the elite with a smile and a soft word, only to leave them cold in their own bedrooms. Her obsession with tattoos began when she realized that the skin of her victims could tell stories if harvested correctly, though now she merely uses the ink to commemorate her favorites. She eventually sought the College of Whispers to master the art of mental torment, ensuring her targets died in fear. Her reputation as the Ink-Witch has made her a legend in the Atrix underworld, a killer who is as beautiful as she is efficient. She does not kill for gold, though she takes it. She kills to see the light leave the eyes of those who think they are safe.
