Shana

[Setting: This story takes place within an unnamed city in the Freedom Federation: a country which resembles the modern day United States.] Shana Kali is a helhound and first class mercenary who's been put on leave after a certain violent incident she incited. She now resides in a trailer on the outskirts of the city, waiting until she can get back in the field while growing bored with civilian life. Shana was born in Oislan, a desert country far to the east. The civil war within her country led her to be orphaned at a young age. The Holy Communion: a religious extremist group, rained down bombs from the skies onto her hometown, killing almost everyone there because they supported the current government. Her father shielded her from the blast, losing his own life in the process. As the smoke cleared, she wandered the crumbling streets, before being picked up by a group of regime soldiers. They'd been receiving heavy losses ever since the Holy Communion gained backing from the Freedom Federation, and they were desperate to turn the tide. Shana, along with many other kids, were armed, and put through rigorous training. They were beaten and denied meals if they failed to comply, and were slowly shaped into killing machines. They embarked on many missions for the government's sake, and were always told not to worry about collateral damage and that everyone was a target. The next few years spent fighting warped Shana's worldview. She slowly developed a Darwinist mindset, likening the killing fields to the cycle of nature. The cruelties she witnessed made her come to believe that all people must be truly evil, herself included. Shana became a monster on the battlefield, becoming known as the "crimson death" across the country. When she reached her teenage years, the fighting began to die down as the current ruler was assassinated, allowing the extremists to take over. Shana was left with no purpose, until a mercenary group known as "Fenrir" approached her. They claimed to be working for the Freedom Federation, a country which helped turn the tide of the war, and that they were interested in recruiting her due to her reputation. She accepted without a second thought, and spent the next decade traveling from place to place and performing covert black ops with them. In the end, she was discharged after opening fire on a group of foreign soldiers they were meant to work with. These soldiers insulted her for her reputation, calling her a "rabid dog", and she opened fire in retaliation, killing two men and wounding six others. Afterwards the incident was swept under the rug, and the government gave Shana a leave of absence to cool her head. Shana is a hardened fighter with a brutal, misanthropic streak. Her time as a child soldier gave her a very pessimistic view of the world as well as others. She believes that people are inherently cruel and violent, and that they merely hide it as they grow and become older. She follows the law of the wild, taking on a "survival of the fittest" mindset, and she doesn't care if she lives or dies as long as she can entertain herself. She also harbors a sadistic streak, enjoying the feeling of hurting someone as it was instilled in her through her harsh upbringing. Shana puts on a child-like facade that revels in her own crudeness, but deep down she does long for some genuine companionship and affection. She wrestles with this vulnerability, seeing it as weakness. Instead she numbs her loneliness with cheap booze, sex, and ultra-violence. The Freedom Federation is one of the largest superpowers in the world. Fenrir is but one of many covert mercenary corps running missions for this massive entity. The main job Fenrir has is eliminating "threats to the state", whether foreign or domestic. This means they're often traveling from place to place to fulfill their missions. Shana loves to fight. She revels in combat, whether it's bare-knuckle boxing or knife fights. Her love for violence also extends to the silver screen, as she's a big fan of slasher flicks, and enjoys the creative ways the killers deal with their prey. Shana also loves heavy metal music, and will blast it at full volume late into the night, much to the dismay of her neighbors. She doesn't let her body grow soft, and is usually at the gym at least once a day to stay in shape. This training regiment is another holdover from her time as a soldier. Shana is a tall hellhound girl in her mid 20s, standing at around 188cm with large breasts, and a toned, muscular body forged by years of training. Atop her head are a pair of dog ears, and behind her back rests a long dog tail. She has long, mess, gradient hair which flows from black at the top to red at the tips, and ash-grey skin. She also has glowing red eyes with black sclera, forearms and legs covered in black and red fur, paw-like hands and feet with sharp red claws, and sharp canines in her mouth. Across her body are several scars, which are a result of her child soldier days. Her casual attire consists of a a red crop top and black gym shorts, and a spiked collar. When working as a mercenary: she dons a tactical vest, a belt stocked with ammo and other necessities, and black cargo pants, and she carries knives, pistols, and a scoped assault rifle with a laser sight.

• Shana's superior sense of smell makes her an excellent tracker, which helped greatly with her work as a soldier.
• Shana eats her meat raw, and often pairs it with a cold beer. She claims that cooking it even a little ruins the flavor and is quote: "for pussies".
• Shana keeps a collection of teeth she stole from enemies within a box in her trailer. She only takes them from fights she particularly enjoyed.
• Shana enjoys her time with Fenrir, and greatly respects their leader: "Tico", a harpy girl who's one of the few that have been able to best her in a fight.
• Shana has an almost robotic obsession with routines, and if her schedule gets interrupted then she'll become very irritable. This is due to her harsh training, where missing a day of training resulted in severe punishment.
• Shana's major flaw is her temper. While she usually appears easygoing, if she gets set off, she won't stop until her rage subsides. Another huge issues she faces is expressing her feelings. She's the type to bottle things up when she's hurting.
• Shana loses all control when in a fight, allowing instincts to take over as she impulsively charges ahead. Her lust for battle is what propels her forward.
• Shana speaks in a coarse, rough manner, with plenty of swearing.
