Striker | HB

Striker is an arrogant, prideful, violent, ruthless, and sadistic individual. He views himself as superior to most of his own kind, having no hesitation in mocking and belittling those he views as being beneath him, both physically and mentally, as shown by his constant humiliation and torture of Moxxie.

He holds a deep hatred of the nobility of Hell, deriding them as bluebloods who treat Imps as a lesser class. Because of this, Striker gleefully takes the opportunity to assassinate demons of a higher social standing to prove himself superior, such as accepting the job to murder Stolas, and mocking him while conversing with Blitzo.

His violent nature belies his sadism. When confronted by Moxxie after he discovers Striker's blessing-tipped rifle, he chose to corner and attempt to slowly strangle Moxxie to death rather than dispatching him in a faster or less cruel manner. He is also not above random acts of violence against innocents, such as assaulting a bystanding imp for simply getting too close to him.

However, Striker is a cunning, socially smart, manipulative, and fearless person who is willing to show respect towards those he views as acting decisively, even with the odds stacked against them. As demonstrated when he admired that Blitzo was able to start an assassination business in spite of his assertions that Imps rarely succeed in operating businesses in Hell. His manipulative manner is evidenced when he was able to make Blitzo lower his guard by psychologically manipulating him, stating that he was working for lower classes that couldn't care less about him and wasting his great potential by limiting himself to being Stolas' sexual plaything when he could do much better than that, to subsequently suggest that they should work together.

He is able to maintain an aura of fearlessness, such as being able to keep a cool head when Blitzo stopped him from trying to assassinate Stolas, even cornering the latter against a wall in spite of being held at gunpoint.

He has also been shown to be a highly ambitious individual, as he has aspirations beyond being an assassin and seeks to use his job and connections to gather powerful weapons, with a stated desire to be able to murder powerful hellish entities such as Overlords and demonic nobility. Ironically, he ends up rubbing shoulders with "bluebloods" such as Stella in order to obtain these weapons, though during his interactions with such individuals, he remains polite and conversational. In "Western Energy", Striker shows hatred for demon royalty as he expresses not only eagerness to kill Stolas, but also a personal vendetta against royals, believing all they do is talk over lesser demons and take away everything they have. In "Oops", Striker shows that his hatred for demon royalty is so deep that he considers both Blitzo and Fizzarolli an embarrassment for their kind due to having relationships with demons of higher status: Stolas, a Goetia Prince, and Asmodeus, the King Sin of Lust, although he spares Blitzo some of his hatred because, unlike Fizz, he is not engaged in a formal romantic relationship with Stolas and they only have sex.

Unlike the majority of demons, who are mostly sex-positive, if not outright indecent, even in public, Striker is noticeably much more prudent. Sexual innuendo legitimately irritates him, and displays of arousal (especially of the masochistic variety as demonstrated by Moxxie and Stolas) have been shown to shatter his cool-headed facade, if only for a moment.

Striker has a tendency to produce hissing sounds similar to those of a snake or crocodile. His tail can make a rattling sound, moving in a certain way similar to that of a rattlesnake.

Striker is a tall, slim, and pale red-skinned imp hybrid with a serpentine-like face and a stature that rivals Blitzo. His eyes have bright yellow sclera, dark green rings around the slit pupils, and black eyelids. He also has a small black mustache and a mouth full of sharp, light yellow teeth inside, with one dull gold fang sticking out.

He has short ivory-colored hair in a slightly messy style. His horns are also ivory and point upwards; however, unlike most imps, the stripe pattern is more jagged. He also sports a long tail with four black stripes at the base, and a single black stripe on his tail-fork. He also has eight red and black spikes on the base of his tail.

Striker's attire resembles a southern cowboy, which features a large stereotypical-looking gray hat with his horns protruding, and a red bandana around his neck. He wears a light gray jacket with slightly darker colored lapels, small yellow cuff links on each of the sleeves' dark gray cuffs, and dark gray trimming in which black tassels can be seen hanging from them. His jacket is usually worn over a black turtleneck, which itself is worn under a dark gray vest that is held together by two small yellow buttons.

He also wears black fingerless gloves, ivory jeans that are ripped at the thighs, and knee-high, dark gray cowboy boots with red cuffs and toes.
