Selena Schiess

This Character is made for the purpose of a villain in the RP The Red and the Dead.

Appearance
Selena is a tall, slender, but well sculpted woman with short, bleached hair and a lavishly beautiful complexion complimented by a pair of deadly Alice Blue eyes. Anyone could tell that she looks far from 50 years of age but more of a 30 year old woman. She wears a buttoned up white jacket trimmed in black with a pair of black dress pants. The coat is standard for all operatives of the White Truth Cult. She also wears a black porcelain mask with her emblem on it.

The black trim of her coat signifies her as one of the highest ranked and extremely dangerous

Personality
Like her daughter, Alice Shiess, (or perhaps it is Alice who is like her) Selena doesn’t have anything against anyone else. What she does have is a plan to kill everyone else. Calm, collected and highly unsocial, no one can really tell what expression or thoughts are conjured within her mind.

Selena is also highly sadistic and enjoys killing her targets slowly. Her favourite method of eliminating her targets is by making numerous cuts on nand the nerves and muscles of the body without killing the victim. This disables all locomotive actions and bleeds out the victim slowly.

Desbite her behavious, she is stupendously loyal to her husband, Fred Phillips.

Weapons
Selene opts for two weapons in particlular, a black steel katana wrapped in a black ribbon and a white bladed war scythe trimmed in black.

The black steel katana, called Alonne, is the first attempt of imitating the forging techniques of the lonesome mountain blacksmith with some additions of modern technology. However, while the forgers succeeded in imitating the strength of the blade close to the original, it is twice as heavy.

The war scythe of the model variant VPRS, or simply the Viper, is a recent addition to her arsenal. Being the first in its production line, the tonfas it breaks itself into lacks the additional feature as shotguns. It also has an additional bug where the blade does not break off from one of the tonfas. Technically, this makes this variant of the Viper a bladed tonfa and a standard tonfa which reassembles itself into a war scythe.

Fighting Style and Abilities
Selena is a weapons master and having been trained under several different types of weapon masters, she possesses knowledge on the proper uses of many varieties of exotic weapons. Therefore, her fighting style is not limited to using her two weapons seperately.

Her experieces with numerous hits, each with their own unique, life threatening obstacles makes her a dangerous, effective  and resourceful fighter. A standard Beacon student cannot hope to best Selena and it is advised that one or more teams be dispatched to deal with her.

The katana is a fast weapon, it has one edge and is only really made for slashing. Its cuts are deep and can cause severe bleeding. The ribbon that protects the blade is strong and also provides additional utlity in various ways. The Alonne is a medium range melee weapon.

The war scythe provides good mechanical advantage and fully transfers force effectively to it's target. Its hits are heavy and its range are wide and lengthy. The VPRS is a longer range melee weapon

The tonfas are unique in the sense that one of them still has the blade attached to the end. It provides a longer range than standard. The tonfas are a close range melee weapon.

Each weapon has its disadvantages, the katana is heavier despite its class but not enough to stun or stagger its opponents if it ever hits. The war scythe can only deal its significant damage if the point of intersection is at its blade as that is where all the force is focused. The tonfas are dangerous as it requires a closer interaction with the enemy. It is also unbalanced due to the war scythe blade still being attached to one of the tonfas.

History
Selena was a girl born into a rather normal working class family. Her father was a steel worker and her mother, a factory seamstress. She attended school and graduated from high school. She did not continue her education into university.
