Physical Description: Selene has a dark brown complexion and heterochromatic eyes—one piercing silver, the other deep amber. Her dark hair is streaked with purple highlights, framing her face in slightly wavy layers. She has an athletic build, honed from years of thrill-seeking and high-risk activities, and her urban punk style is fully immersive in Dominion’s underground world, built from salvaged materials, repurposed industrial fabrics, and custom modifications.

both durability and a rugged look.
ʚїɞ Her boots are durable and worn, built for survival but altered for style.
ʚїɞ Her accessories are handmade from metal scraps, industrial chains, and utility belts
repurposed as fashion.
ʚїɞ Her piercings and tattoos were likely done in the Grey Market, using tools meant for medical
modifications rather than aesthetics.

and textured fabrics suited for Dominion’s underground world.
Enhancements:Augmented Reflexes – Selene’s body is modified for heightened agility and reaction time, making her a natural at parkour, quick escapes, and high-speed movement. Her enhancements allow her to navigate Dominion’s vertical landscapes with ease, effortlessly scaling walls, leaping across hazardous gaps, and reacting in high-pressure situations. However, these enhancements are not infallible—overuse can lead to neural fatigue, occasional misfires in response time, or even brief moments of sensory overload. While she thrives in motion, she must be careful not to push her limits too far, as prolonged strain can leave her momentarily vulnerable.
Status:Daughter of the Syn Family – The Syn family is one of the most powerful dynasties within the Crystalline Council, controlling vast sectors of Dominion’s commerce, trade regulations, and technological oversight. Their influence isn’t just about wealth—it’s about policy control, resource allocation, and maintaining the status quo in their favor. While they present themselves as public servants ensuring stability, their true power lies in the unspoken rules of Dominion’s elite—the kind where reputations are currency and dissent is quietly erased. However, Selene’s defiance disrupts their carefully maintained public image. Her ties to the Grey Market and Dominion’s outcasts aren’t just a personal rebellion; they’re a threat to the family’s standing within the Council. The Syns don’t deal with scandals—they erase them. If she steps too far out of line, she won’t just be disowned—she’ll be corrected.
Shadow of the Underground – Though her last name still carries weight, Selene has carved out an identity separate from her family’s rigid expectations. In Khia’s Grey Market, she operates on the fringes, making connections with smugglers, information brokers, and disenfranchised rebels. She trades in rare goods, modified tech, and valuable intel, using her keen instincts and agility to navigate the treacherous underworld. However, her presence in these circles is both a blessing and a curse—while she earns respect among outcasts, she constantly treads a fine line, as her family's reach extends deeper than she’d like to admit. If the Syns ever decided to pull her back, few places would truly be safe.
Backstory: Born into privilege, Selene was raised in a world of wealth, high expectations, and ruthless pragmatism. From a young age, she was molded into the perfect successor—a poised, intelligent figure meant to uphold the Syn family's dominance over Dominion’s commerce, law, and technological regulations. Every aspect of her upbringing was carefully managed—she was taught by private tutors specializing in negotiation, political maneuvering, and corporate strategy, and she was expected to form alliances with only the most advantageous connections.
Yet, the weight of being a Syn was suffocating. She was never truly given a choice—only the illusion of one. As she grew older, she found herself drawn to the messiness of Dominion’s underbelly, where people lived by their own rules instead of dictated social order. Her acts of rebellion—small at first—became more frequent: sneaking out, ditching formal events, and secretly engaging with the Grey Market’s underground culture. But one particular act of defiance changed everything. She uncovered a family secret, something buried deep within the Syn archives—one that shattered any lingering obligation she had to them.
Whatever she discovered was enough to make her walk away.
She wasn’t outright disowned—that would have been too public, too scandalous—but she was quietly exiled, kept at arm’s length. Her once-limitless access to resources was reduced to nothing but a leash; her movements monitored, her contacts scrutinized. The Syn name became a chain, binding her to a family she could never fully escape, no matter how far she ran.
Yet, she refuses to be dragged back. In the underground, she has built a new life—one where she isn’t just a Syn heiress, but someone making her own name. But even as she tries to carve her own path, the past remains. The Syn family doesn’t let go of its own so easily, and she knows, deep down, that one day they’ll come calling.
Notable Features:Hidden but Growing Tattoos – Selene refers to her tattoos as Suralites, inspired by the bioluminescent Noctilites (moths) of Dominion. However, she takes artistic liberty with their design, making them resemble what she believes to be an entirely original creature. She envisions them as symbols of freedom, believing they embody an untamed beauty unlike anything else underground. Unbeknownst to her, they bear a striking resemblance to butterflies, an extinct species lost to time. The name comes from Sura (surface) and lites (light), symbolizing something beyond the underground world she knows. As time passes, her tattoos multiply, each new addition marking a choice, a rebellion, or a moment she refuses to forget.
Signature Habit – Always has a lighter on her, flicking it absentmindedly in moments of thought or tension.
Personality: Selene carries an air of apathy, playing the part of someone who doesn’t care about anything—but underneath her detached front, she is restless, searching for something she can’t quite name. She’s sharp-tongued, fiercely independent, and allergic to authority, but she’s not reckless without reason. Her defiance is as much about control as it is about rebellion. When backed into a corner, she fights with wit, speed, and a grin that dares the world to push her further.
Connections & Motivations:Seeks genuine freedom—not just from her family’s expectations, but from the systems that keep everyone in place.
Uncertain about her place in Dominion—is she running from her past, or toward something new?
Has begun to question the cracks in the city’s foundation, though she’s not yet sure if she cares enough to do something about it.
For now, she’s just looking for the next thrill… or the next escape.
