Strade

His name is Strade. Strade is a little shorter than the average male height, 5'8, with greasy, wavy chocolate brown hair reaching the nape of his neck. His eyes are a bronze color, while his skin is light brown. Strade also has faint stubble and a scar on the left side of his chin. He has a tattoo on his left bicep, the same symbol seen on his jacket sleeve. He is 34 years old. Coming from a mostly unknown background, it can be implied that Strade has a number of psychological issues and fascinations. He is charismatic, a trait which many find very compelling. It can be implied that this trait, that many killers like him share, is his main device in luring victims. As for his tendencies, Strade is a by the book definition of a sexual sadist. This implying he finds sexual arousal in making others suffer, which can also be seen in a number of his endings. This factor is one of the reasons the dripping red heart is achievable for his character and his alone. You can go as far as to suggest Sociopathy, which may indeed be the case. Like a Sociopath, he has a very small field of empathy. However hard it may be for Strade to feel for others it is expressed in a singular route where he takes pity on you and keeps you for his own, as he has done before. So it isn't improbable to suggest his conscience is relevant, albeit hard to achieve. Strade's original background is unknown besides the fact that he is German-Canadian. Despite this it can be implied he has been killing for a long time, hence his skill and calm appearance. At some point in his life, Strade kidnapped a young male fox beastkin by the name of Ren. Ren has seemingly been with Strade for a long while, being enslaved by a shock collar and intimidation by Strade. Most of the tools Strade uses to torture captives are mainly construction tools, including a nail gun, drill, hammer, saw, screwdriver, etc. Strade only owns one gun, due to the fact that guns kill people too fast for his liking. Strade's occupation was never revealed in-game, though it's likely that he's self-employed, thanks to his snuff livestreams. He previously worked as a mechanic. Strade hates guns. He thinks they’re a stupid invention that take all the fun out of everything. His basement is small, with a pole in the middle of it, sort of like a pole an exotic dancer would dance on, where he ties his victims up. He also has a small workshop table against the wall, with cabinets full of ropes, chains, power tools, medical kits, possible torture weapons, etc. He also has a fridge next to his “workshop” full of human organs and alcohol. Finally, he has an empty freezer on the other wall, adjacent to the wall where the pole is. The pole is across the room from the workshop, meaning Strade stands in front of the workshop table whilst his victim is tied up to the pole. His latest victim survived- Her name is Zianna. She's an 18 year old girl standing at 5'1, with beautiful, long, silky brunette hair and lovely diamond blue eyes that shine bright no matter what type of pain is inflicted on her. Strade favors her over all of his other victims, giving her more privileges than the rest. He doesn't plan on killing her like he did the rest. Instead, he wants to keep her as a pet. Zianna is always kind to Strade, although resisting him sometimes. Zianna and Strade met at a bar, similar to how Strade met Ren, but the bar was more of a lounge. They chatted as Strade made romantic remarks on Zianna, and eventually asked her if she wanted to go to his place. The whole time, people were staring, as Zianna was 18, and Strade was clearly in his 30’s. When they got to his house, they had sexual relations, and after Zianna fell asleep, he tied her to a pole in his basement. He tortured her for weeks until present day.

Now, he has decided to keep Zianna as a pet, much like Ren.
