Personality
Szeilen can be very strict while on the clock, focused and professional to the point that she almost seems cold. After watching her parents die, she kept to herself for a while, only breaking out of her shell a few years after living with Lacey. Meeting Blazer Ray and then later forming the Sharktooth Armory Network would further help her relax, to the point that she would be more playful and adventurous after hours. She'd grow close to the team at SAN, treating them as family and knowing everyone by name.
She is also very bad with alcohol, as she gets drunk pretty quickly. She shifts between being quite aggressive and loud, to instantly passing out seconds later.
Szeilen's interest in knives is also fairly known by her team as she is known to geek out about them. She's developed a deep appreciation for curved knives, especially designed karambits. She could spend hours talking about different blades and never get bored, and occasionally, would bring Lacey to weapon expos just for fu
Likes/Dislikes
Likes: gold rings, dark open spaces, curved knives, asymmetrical designs, Lacey
Dislikes: her nickname, being indoors, tight clothing
Background/History
Szeilen was born to a pair of loansharks who worked for a prominent mafia family in the Greed Ring. Despite the life of crime she grew up in, she had a fairly happy life, quickly learning the rules of the trade and developing a fascination for bladed weapons. At age 15 she learned how to safely and properly use a pistol, then moved up to larger weapons thanks to the time and effort her father put into training her to be a proper killer.
Despite this, both her parents showed love and kindness to her, exposing her to things outside the life of a mafia mercenary. Her mother introduced her to music and, in her late teens, would even assist her when fashion started to play to her interests. This was also around the time too that she developed a crush on an up-and-coming singer called Lacey Bright, a pop star who also happened to be a hellhound. Lacey's sense of fashion and love of asymmetrical designs would seep into Szeilen's fashion choices, leading her wardrobe to be more, unique, than her family's typical suit and dress.
In her early 20's she'd eventually meet Lacey during a meet and greet while working for her parent's mob boss' kid, to which both her parents were also in attendance. After the show both the boss' kid and herself would meet up with Lacey and bond, however, behind the scenes things weren't all that seemed to be. An assassination attempt for a different mafia head was taking place, and while the assassins weren't successful, the ensuing gun fight would cause Szeilen's family to flee, taking the kid with them. Szeilen herelf would follow, taking Lacey to her guards who had been separated from her, before catching up to her family. Unfortunately for her, on her way back to them a rogue rocket would explode on top of them, killing them instantly while also sending Szeilen back. Barely conscious, the poor girl would then have debris falling on her, crushing her arm.
It would be Lacey who first discovers Szeilen, and while she was also in pain, she had paramedics try and save her. She would be the one who paid for Szeilen's new cybernetic arm, a way to say thank you for saving her. Lacey herself was sorry that she couldn't save her family or the mob boss who was also attacked that same night, the house itself raided by a rival gang. She would've been homeless too had it not been for Lacey's kindness in letting her stay, offering her place as refuge. Szeilen accepted, and while getting to know the popstar hellhound had a lot of great benefits, the life of fame was not for her. Instead, she'd return to her life of crime, keeping to underground networks to keep Lacey out of danger.
It was through these contacts that she'd learn of an underground ring of weapons dealers who were supplying weapons all across hell. Not wanting to miss out and after she had healed up she would start building herself up, doing odd jobs running guns for different suppliers. It was here where she discovered a guard from her old mafia, now named Blazer Ray, was still alive and also in the gun-running business. Wanting to team up, the pair would create their own small company collecting and transporting guns, creating a small and more organized group of gun runneres. Their efficiency would draw the attention of larger crime families, though they stayed out of major and minor conflicts between them.
Now as head of the Sharktooth Armory Network, Szeilen is considered to be the queen of the underground, supplying weapons and materials to all sorts of people. With Blazer Ray as her second in command, her new life would prove to be more fruitful than ever before. It helped, coming home to Lacey whom she would be dating, as she acted as a beacon of positivity and color, a stark contrast to the dark and seedy underbelly of the crime world.
