Femme Fatale
Selena Straamen has long been a thorn in the side of society. Since her
torturous childhood to her current assignment with the Blakist-backed
Vampire’s Fangs mercenary unit, Selena has displayed frequent fits of violence.
Her troubled upbringing seems to have much to do with her later acts of crime.
Sharing the same homeworld as her mercenary unit’s leader, Selena also lived
her life as a teenager on the streets as a criminal. She was publicly known as
"the Slice Queen" for her frequent knife attacks on pedestrians in her
hometown. As she grew into her mid teens, Selena found herself constantly
harassed by local officials. They sought her as a key suspect in a series of
serial killings that had occurred during her two years of legitimate work at a
local assembly line. Selena eventually left town to seek shelter in one of the
larger cities. She once again drew curiosity from police when another series of
murders occurred shortly after she’d arrived there. Realizing she could face
legal prosecution or even vigilante justice, she moved again to cover her tracks
and once again start over. This time she chose none other than Solaris VII, the
games world, as her safe haven.
Selena’s new home fit her perfectly. She met others with similar interests and
even built herself a darker reputation as an amateur assassin. She was able to
attract a variety of increasingly powerful clients, most who were drawn by her
special talent for torturing her victims to extend their suffering. Her outspoken
criticism of some of her previous employers garnered much attention when
several of those very employers were found dead in their penthouses. All the
murders had occurred within a 9 hour period. Evidence showed those
individuals had been seduced and then murdered while still in bed. From this
period in her career as an assassin, Selena genuinely earned her femme fatale
image.
Selena returned to her homeworld after building her fame on Solaris VII, hoping
to set her sights on another criminal from her home planet, – Sevahn Von
Drakhul. Though she saw him as a possible rival in earlier years, she now
found herself drawn to the man. He had shown considerable skills in
assassination that were not unlike her own, and he had profited from these
skills by making himself a crimelord of considerable wealth. Selena began
courting Sevahn and the two soon became close. Their relationship was
constantly on the rocks, but when Sevahn became the leader of the Word of
Blake’s new mercenary unit, Selena made sure she earned a place on the team
as well.
Selena is not the type of foe anyone would want to face. She has a reputation
for violence and has even admitted that such acts grant her gratification. She
is by all accounts a psychotic individual, even gaining infamy for firing large
bore Mech weaponry at infantry and civilians during combat and even training
exercises. Her influence within the Vampire’s Fangs unit is both permanent and
strong. She pilots a mint-condition Pillager which allows her to maximize her
firing range.
Many consider Selena to be one of the two "Vampire’s Fangs".
