Araña

# Character Information

### Summary

**Araña** believes in living every day to the fullest. Her life has shown her that everyone's time is fleeting. Seh is extremely self-centered but word on the street is that it is just an act.

She is a mystic adept that specializes in infiltration and knowing the right person to get whatever she needs done. Very few people (if anyone) know what she truly looks like. She uses disguises (both mundane and magical) and goes to great lengths to keep her identity fluid.

### Goals

* **Araña**'s true wishes can never come to fruition so as of now she limits herself to the easily obtainable objective of money.

## Background

Xiomara was born to a high-level Aztechnology corporation and for most of her young life, she lived in extreme indulgence and decadence.  She never wanted anything and was provided the best tutors Nuyen could buy. At the age of 14 her home was invaded by a group of men and her father was kidnapped.  There was no demand for ransom however so Xiomara began searching through her father’s office for clues. When she found the secret office she though she had found what she was looking for.  I information was not to her liking.

It turned out that she was actually an Aztechnology experiment and her “father” was the blood mage in charge of observing her and reporting her progress.  Angered at the lies she had been told she gathered what resources she could and was determined to track him down to demand the truth from him.  Unbeknownst to her the entry into the secret office had tripped security protocols at the local Aztechnology branch and an investigator was sent to terminate the intruders.  She didn’t even notice when the vampire attacked.  As he left her for dead Xiomara felt a strange thing happening in her body.  She woke up the next night in the local morgue.  She checked the local news and found an article that stated her house had been robbed by a local gang and in the altercation that happened the house had been set on fire.  Xiomara did not know what to do.  She had managed to retrieve quite a lot of resources before the vampire had arrived but she had no idea how to do anything on her own.  She bought her way into a gang and they protected her while using her to help them attain more street cred.  By the age of 18 Xiomara had become a respected and feared member, known for her ruthlessness.  Things might have stayed that way until the night Aztechnology found out she was still alive.

She was not with the gang when the team showed up to retrieve “Aztechnology property” from the gang, but she saw the aftermath.  The majority of her new family had been torn to pieces, melted, or filled full of holes.  She learned what had happened from one troll member before he passed.  A corp team had entered the gang hideout and begun an eradication of everyone there. It was systematic and complete.  As the last of her new friends died Xiomara realized she would need to disappear.  She used some gang contacts and forced some other contacts to help.  Killing every one of them as she finished with them in order to leave no trace of where she went.  Changing her name to Nancy Bailey she headed to Seattle, to lose herself in the sprawl.

When she arrived in Seattle she began focusing on growing a network, a web, of contacts to keep her informed about what was going on in the city.  She did not want to be caught unknowing again.  It took 3 years for her to finally feel safe again, but she always feels like someone (or thing) is watching her.
