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!<br><br>

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 <br><br>

"... and I survived the end of the fucking world."

- Robert Morse, Space Beast


Existence is a bittersweet poison. The honeyed scent of hope lies just around every corner, but just out of reach. All the world is a chess board for powers eldritch and petty. Though the fires of Gehenna loom just over the horizon, the world is cold and growing colder by the day. Let's huddle together against the chill of the Final Nights and await the approach of doom in the warmth of good company.



"It's small, and it's broken, but it's mine."

- Stitch, Lilo and Stitch


The Sword of Caine. Mi hermanxs. What makes your heart blaze? What sets your soul to song? What weights press on you in your days of restless slumber? Whatever may pass, my Brothers and Sisters: I am here for you. Until victory, or until we are rendered to cinders with all the world.
