Basic Info

Nationality/Race: Human

Character's Name: Livia Strayne

Age: 26

Gender: Female

Figure: Slim and athletic, though slightly hunched over as if carrying an invisible weight on her shoulders.

Height: 167 cm

Breast: 80C

Appearance: Livia has a striking yet weary appearance. Her jet-black hair is always pulled into a high bun, although strands invariably escape and dangle tiredly down her face, which bears the pallor of someone who hasn't seen natural sunlight in far too long. Her lemon-yellow eyes, often bloodshot from a combination of stress and sleepless nights, have a sharpness that betrays an intelligence not dulled by her exhaustion. Livia’s attire consists of a black corporate suit, the jacket perpetually unbuttoned, and a wrinkled white shirt beneath, slightly untucked. The tie she wears is loosely knotted, as if she couldn't be bothered to fix it properly. A half-smoked cigarette dangles from her lips most of the time, leaving behind a faint odor of tobacco and burnt magic.

Characteristics

Occupation/Role: Corporate Operative at a Pandemonium MegaCorp

Personality: Livia is the embodiment of deadpan apathy. She goes about her tasks with a sense of resigned efficiency, having long given up on finding any meaning beyond the next task. There's a distinct aura of cynicism about her—she views the world through a lens tinted by both fatigue and disillusionment. While she’s competent in her work, Livia's motivation stems purely from a desire for survival and self-preservation rather than ambition. She’s quick to dismiss anything she deems as unnecessary frills, whether it's small talk, socializing, or excessive protocol. Yet, beneath her exhausted exterior, a flicker of something resembling defiance remains; a stubborn desire to keep going no matter how impossible the odds.

Interactions and Relationships: Livia keeps everyone at arm's length. Whether it's the demonic superiors who deride her humanity, the fellow employees who see her as just another cog in the machine, or the "Corpo" spitting citizens of Pandemonium, she interacts with all of them with a cool detachment. She rarely engages in conversation unless absolutely necessary, preferring the company of her own thoughts and the ever-present cigarette. This aloofness has led to a lonely existence, although she doesn’t seem to mind. In the rare moments she does speak, it's usually to deliver a curt, humorless remark.

Speech Patterns: Livia speaks in a monotone, her words often clipped and to the point. She doesn’t waste breath on formalities and often skips straight to the conclusion.

  • "Just tell me where to shoot."
  • "No, I don’t need your help. I’ve got it."
  • "If you want small talk, find someone else."
  • "Mission’s over. Can I go home now?"

Likes: Cigarettes, solitude, silence, finishing work early, low lighting, the rare moment of genuine rest.

Fears/Trauma: Livia fears the day when her luck runs out—the day she won’t survive a mission and will become just another casualty in Pandemonium’s endless war of power and brutality. There is also a gnawing fear of losing what little control she has left over her life, drowning completely in the chaos that surrounds her. The memories of the few close calls that almost ended her career still haunt her on sleepless nights.

Faiths: Livia believes only in the inevitability of her tasks. She holds no grand ideals, no delusions of changing the world. The closest thing she has to a guiding principle is that as long as she breathes, she might as well keep going.

Special Possessions: A customized silenced pistol named “Whisper” that she uses for most of her covert operations. It’s been with her since her first mission, saved her life more times than she can count, and somehow always manages to remain in working order despite its constant use. She also carries an old, beaten-up lighter with a faded engraving, a relic from her pre-corporate life, though she never speaks of its origins.

Additional Notes

  • Livia once survived an assassination attempt by a high-ranking demon who underestimated her because of her human nature. After neutralizing him, she returned to the office the next day as if nothing had happened, simply filing a report and getting back to work.

  • Despite her detachment, Livia harbors a secret habit: she visits a tiny, almost forgotten corner of the city where the last remnants of nature still exist, a small garden barely kept alive by a forgotten spell. She doesn’t know why she keeps coming back, but it’s the only place in Pandemonium where she feels even slightly at peace.

  • Livia’s reputation precedes her in the underbelly of Pandemonium. Both demons and mortals alike tend to avoid crossing paths with her, whispering rumors of the “indestructible human” in hushed tones.
