Bio: Striker isn’t a grifix you want to mess with. He wasn’t chosen for the house because of his voice because his voice is horrible in public, but for how scary he can actually be. Striker is one of the very few grifix Thalassa trusts to be somewhat of a bodyguard like grifix around the house, since Striker liked to be a strong individual and literally snap his jaws at anyone he doesn’t trust or thinks is a threat around the house.

Striker had very stern parents growing up, but also sometimes got abused by them as well. He has a little sister and an older brother, and his older brother became abusive towards him and his sister as well. He did also have a younger brother that his mother decided to go and toss to the streets, not wanting to take care of her last born child. He indeed was a wimp as a cub because he had no idea what was happening to him, but as he became older and finally realized what his parents and older brother were doing to him, his anger and rage towards them became his own strength and he became very determined to be someone who protects others.

The day he made things end was the day he saw his father and older brother yelling and screaming at his little sister who had just gotten back from performing at the Kraken’s Lure house, seeing them kicking, beating and even making her bleed made him extremely pissed and this abuse need to end here and now. His mother was even yelling at his sister which wasn’t right either. He ended up lashing out at his parents and brother and baring his shark like teeth at them out of anger, growing as his eyes glowed like a shark’s eyes in the darkness of water. “Your torture and pain to me and my sister is over! Can’t you see what your are doing to us?! You think taking your anger and frustrations out on your own children is right and okay?! Absolutely not! And also the fact you threw our younger brother onto the streets to fend for himself and I can’t find him anywhere?! Your rein of torture and neglect ends today!” He spat before running over to his sister who was covered in cuts and wounds, her dress being torn up as he picked her up and put her on his back before he ran off and ran all the way to the soldiers guild to tell them what has been happening to him and his sister for years, Eagle Claw seeing the damage that had been done to both of them and they ended up arresting his parents for abuse towards their own son and leaving his older brother off with a warning and his brother never hurt anyone again.

Striker had started going to the Kraken’s Lure house to try and drink away his anger and fears from his past, his sister trying to tell him it wasn’t good for him to be doing this everyday. He refused to listen to her or let any other sirens touch him, always baring his teeth at them or showing some sort of frustration towards them which ended up scaring all of them to the point where he no longer was welcome there.. but the whole time he was there Madame Thalassa was watching him in the darkness of the ship.

The male left the house the night he got kicked out and went to the Hot Springs to try and calm down, sitting in the warm water as he hung his head. The memories of seeing his sister in a a bed in the Medic Guild’s Trauma section of the guild covered in bandages of were all the cuts and bruises were on her made him angry, he was relieved she didn’t need to have surgery but some of the wounds were stitched up and treated as needed. His sister is covered in scars now, which also made memories flash into his head whenever he saw her. He had some scars too but he hides them, either using body paint, cloth wrappings, or just a trench coat like cloak.

While he sat in the warm water of the Spring, he heard voices behind him as he didn’t bother to look who was talking since he still was in a drunk like state. “Yes, the male is here but he doesn’t seem to want to be bothered..” the voice came in to range as it was a female voice, it being Shadowbriar, one of the grifix that runs the inn. “I wish to speak to him Briar.. it will only be for a moment..” another voice said as it was his sister, the female grifix walking up to her brother and sitting down by the edge of the water. “What are you doing here sis..? Can’t you see I don’t want to be bothered..?” Striker said as his sister went and placed a piece of paper next to his cloak, Striker looking back at her as he tilts his head. “I know what happened tonight at the house wasn’t what you wanted.. especially on the anniversary of locking our parents up.. but something might of came up good in the end.” She said as he opened the paper and saw it was a letter from the house mother, offering him a position in her house if he wanted to take it.

He decided to go back with his sister to the house after he was a bit more sober, going in and speaking to Madame Thalassa about what she was looking for in the position she offered him. “Someone who actually knows the ways of protecting others. I’ve heard what happened to you and your sister, and you have a bold personality that I’d like to have here in my house. Become a siren and be a siren that keeps the house guarded and will stop fights if things get out of hand.”

Striker decided to take the position and now protects everyone in the house, sometimes he will go and scare the crap out of grifix in the dark pools but most of the time he’s walking around and watching everything around him. He will sit and corners and pretend to be a cloaked customer but if he sees a fight or angry drunk grifix try to put there paws on a siren, he will get up and throw them out of the house himself.

He sometimes gets a visit from a grifix he met at the inn sometimes or he will ask Thalassa if he can have a day off to go see her, which makes him actually smile for once. He also sees his older brother walking around the Empire sometimes but he doesn’t look like he used to look, and he usually heads into the Catacombs. But he also sometimes sees another strange male grifix that is sometimes with him, and he has a marking on his tail that never could leave Striker’s mind.. was it his younger brother that he lost when he was just a cub..?
