Sriin

"You ask why I tolerate that she uses my shoulders as a personal transport, and has a greater knack for mischief than half the cybercriminals from Cassus? I answer, watch her. She has the deadly grace of all her kind, but without the nonsense and ritualistic babble that ensures that the species as a whole will never break free from the Dominion. In combat, all her indiscipline vanishes, and she is more like Mechari: precise, hardened, and in the positive sense that humans cannot comprehend, mechanical. Perhaps, also, I find that her mannerisms challenge me.  Perhaps in her spirit, I find something worth emulating, something... compelling."

- FINN

Sriin skulks at just above average height for a human female, petite by Draken standards, an accurate reading hard to come by due to her constant shifts in posture. Common yellow eyes, common dark talons, even common horns; but uncommon pink hair styled big and messily topped above her head, her face bedazzled and bedecked in shiny, silver jewelry.

Never at-rest, Sriin is constantly in movement from subtle, lithe and slinking gestures to abrupt, but calculated, surges of translation.

=Personality Profile= Matured to adulthood outside of any Draken influence, Sriin is an ignorant outsider, observing Draken custom and ritual from an outsider's perspective, often butting heads and aggravating tribal members of her species. However, despite being a foreigner to her people, she has retained the stubbornness, ferocity, and savage instincts unique to the Draken, yet tempered by the guidance of more civilized Cassian combat professionals. If nothing else, her penchant for getting into trouble and causing mischief has never been quelled despite efforts to distract her with important tasks; tasks which are eventually completed, but never quite as expected.

Exceedingly friendly in the chilliest sense, Sriin does not understand—or rather, care to acknowledge—the concept of boundaries or personal space, often testing the limits of both friend and stranger alike. Many have had the lapse in judgement of regarding her extroverted, put-on behavior as invitation; Sriin is as curious about pain and causing harm and damage to others as any other casual pastime. She will not hesitate to use excessive force as necessary, or as unnecessary, keeping her violent Draken temperament in check only as it suits her.

Goals and Motivations
With no desire to be reunited, or even accepted by her people--people being a very broad term as there are a myriad of various Draken communities and tribal clans--Sriin has few personal goals or understood motivations--which is just a way of saying the creator-player hasn't thought of them yet due to obvious laziness. Sriin does enjoy seeing, learning and experiencing new things just for the sake of them being new and exciting.

Talents and Weaknesses

 * A mixed martial arts expert, enhanced with STALKER nanites.
 * Sriin is capable of stalking most anything with little chance for early detection. Sixty percent of the time, this works, every time.
 * Trouble keeping hands to herself; violator of personal space.
 * Violation of personal space includes, but is not limited to
 * Getting all touchy-feely, with possible intent to do bodily harm.
 * Hugging, with possible intent to do bodily harm.
 * Arm candy (not by choice, but there's no need to panic immediately) with possible intent to do bodily harm.
 * Maybe she just likes everybody. Highly unlikely, but, she does like everyone. Until she doesn't. Assume intent to do bodily harm.
 * Does not like being told what to do. Does so begrudgingly.
 * Thoroughly destructive; only creative in her thoroughness for destructive behavior.
 * Wardrobe malfunction.
 * Lack of fidelity in interpersonal relationships, tested by her relationship with Weyd Falstaff.
 * Suffers from congenital analgesia, unable to feel physical pain. This often fuels her reckless behavior, and endangers her life.

=History= Growing up as a stray on the streets of the Cassian homeworld, Sriin called the back alleys home, until she met up—and by met up, spotted what looked to be a sucker—and decided to follow him. The sucker, being none other than Weyd Falstaff, eldest son of Falstaff Industries' matriarch, Yvaine Falstaff. Mother especially did not take kindly to the disheveled, vermin-infested runt, but Sriin nonetheless grew on Weyd—and by grew on, she refused to leave him alone. Not having much to say, she was more curious about him, and observed—and touched without invitation—more than spoke or asked questions of the Cassian military supplier magnate heir-apparent.

Adopted, in a loosest sense—sometimes a lab assistant, and sometimes a valet (all a lie of course)—by Weyd Falstaff, Sriin was his constant companion for years, growing up along side the Cassian and his two siblings, Wyra and Waylon—and not with daily incident. She turbulently matured from adolescent to adult, often violently, with little to keep her Draken tendencies in check until the Falstaff matriarch gave Weyd an ultimatum: get that Draken in check, or she's out. Mother, begrudgingly at Weyd's insistence, enrolled Sriin in a Cassian military school. Disciplined, but not without great, exhaustive efforts on the part of the faculty, the academy gave her aggression direction, and fine-tuned her Draken instinct into a precise weapon. The greatest lesson the Draken learned was how to disguise her excessively violent nature, and deceive others into viewing her as little more than a compliant little house-cat—until, too late, of course, and mistakes made. Upon graduation, Sriin was injected with the stalker nano-virus to outfit her combat capabilities.

Sriin, and a re-purposed Mechari named FINN (short for Falstaff Industries Ninty-Nine) accompanied the Falstaff heirs to planet Nexus under Mother's orders. The children would all perish, or survive, making a name for themselves, and suitable replacements when it came time for Mother to finally hand over the company to the worthiest heir. If the 'Draken Consort' happened to meet her demise nothing could make the old matriarch more pleased. One might say Sriin is why Weyd can't have nice things.
