## Overview

### Physical Appearance

Sydney is 5'11 and weighs 290lbs of muscle as she strives for a athletically fit body. Her hair color is a light brunette with the occasional purple streaks or rooting. Sydney's hair is naturally curly, more so of the hair type 3b, but she's commonly seen with a high ponytail when she straightens her hair. Her fashion sense leans heavily towards the grunge look while slightly sporting a tactical militaristic style like ripped jeans, baggy cargos, low top sneakers, band tees, tactical vests, and combat boots. Her cargo jacket is her number one possession as it was given to her by her brother, Tre Murdock. Sydney's main color scheme is purple/black but she likes to experiment with different schemes time to time. She also wears a lot of accessories and jewelry like her spiked wristbands, purple gem gauges, and her jeweled fluer-de-lis necklace. When it comes to eyewear, she wears her prescription round glasses. Her other eyewear is a superhero mask that enhances her vision to near superhuman levels.

She's known to pack a lot of muscle as her body type is a mesomorph. With her working out as often, Sydney has an 8-pack, beefier forearms and biceps and her veins can be slightly visible on her body. Her skin tone is of a senna color due to her mixture of being African-American and Korean. The most unique aspect of her appearance is her facial structure as her strong, sharp jawline and cheekbones is instantly recognizable in Santo Ileso, whether good or bad. She also wears a lot of grungy makeup combined with e-girl elements like lots of blush and heart shaped freckles overlapping her real freckles. Sydney has a couple of notable tattoos, such as her left sleeve of a revolver with roses she dubbed as "Warhammer" that is based on her experience in the Marines, grenade-themed maracas on her upper right arm, a right forearm tat that says "Get Well", a lower back tat of the guitar case mini guns based on her favorite movie, "Desperado", and a neck tat of a tribal snake.

### Personality

Sydney is considered to be playfully mischievous and often times menacing when she has to be. Years of negligence, miscommunication, and lack of supervision in her youth caused her to start trouble whenever she's bored or need to get her pent-up frustration out. When provoked, Sydney isn't afraid to get on their level or scheme something heinous to get back at them in the most horrific ways imaginable. Sydney also takes pride in being a "murder machine" as initially it was the one thing she didn't screw up at. She for the most part does not evaluate risks in any of her "plans" as she feels being cautious isn't as rewarding as gunning for the goal directly to achieve success as swift as possible. Another thing is that Sydney doesn't like being told what to do unless she has a say in it or if there's something worth doing and is often dismissive about it. Her sociopathic behavior can be influenced by her substance-related mood swings, in which Sydney has often seek medication for.

Her morals borders on what's best for her and to those she's loyal and appreciative to. Anybody she deems a liability in her path towards the goal of becoming the biggest crime lord in the criminal underworld will surely not make it alive. For one instance, in the wake of looking for an HQ, Sydney murdered construction workers and destroyed property at the church without remorse or looking back with conscience of what she had done.

When not hiding behind her menacing persona, Sydney is rather a tad dorky and scatterbrained but highly sociable towards people as she just wants to have a good time and crave for human connection. Loyalty is one of her biggest positive factors as she's basically a ride and die for anyone she respects and gets respect back from. She can be very open-minded with anything and holds nothing back of what she wants to say on her mind, whether positive or offensive and even partakes in her friends' hobbies to further explore herself.

### Skills

* **Ultimate Marksmanship -** Sydney is extremely dangerous with any firearm as not only she trained in the Marines, but was also trained by the best at Marshall Industries. Her accuracy is almost pitch perfect and with her agility, quick reaction time, and weapon versatility, Sydney is the real deal in a gunfight.
* **Leadership -** While she is not a born leader, her confidence of knowing what's best for her gang is the drive for running an successful criminal empire.
* **Creative Mind -** She has spent her youth coming up with outrageous and sometimes cruel pranks on people and finding ways to vandalize property just to amuse herself and spite people which applies to her role as the Boss where she uses her experience and craft to make her rivals become decimated and humiliated.
* **Skilled Fighter -** Sydney is somewhat of an expert of multiple techniques, including Krav Maga, Taekwondo (Blue Belt), and moves she learned from growing up watching a lot of exaggerated action movies and wrestling on TV. With her size and strength, she can also be able to body slam people slightly bigger than her. Despite her experience and expertise, Sydney's aggressive style of fighting comes up short with faster opponents, Nahualli included.
* **Exceptional Driver -** Sydney is capable of outrunning anybody via evasive maneuvers and most importantly, aggressive driving where she'd rather shunt and slam cars off the road. She's also very showy with drifting her Galhalad around the city.
* **People Person -** Given her nature, she can understand a person's feelings, wants, and needs just through a look and simple conversation.

## Biography

### History

Born and raised in Santo Illeso, Arizona, Sydney Murdock is no stranger to the life of crime and the consequences that follow. Throughout most of her youth, she spent it on causing mischief originally as a coping mechanism to her parents’ divorce and otherwise near distant relationship with the two of them working long hours, but she eventually began to take joy in doing so. This, of course, didn’t bode well with an incident involving partial destruction of a supermarket, resulting in her parents sending her off to military school for attitude adjustment when she was sixteen.

Two years went by and Sydney came out more sharpened in militaristic skills than her attitude. With nothing else to do and not wanting those two years to be for nothing, she would join the military. Her time in the Marines, while remarkable and something she had genuinely enjoyed taking part of, was cut short because of her old antics that resulted in a few soldiers dead and was dishonorably discharged and confined for three years as a result.

After being let go, Sydney knew she was never going to live life as a civilian once her benefits were cut so she again got back into crime, but now getting paid in the criminal underworld where she would meet Neenah and Kevin and eventually Eli during her days of side hustling. With the four now living together in an apartment, a golden opportunity struck when Sydney remembered about a private military company called Marshall Industries that was willing to take in anybody and even military criminals to work for them, resulting in working for them in hopes to get by in life.

### Saints Row [2022]

Sydney's first day working for Marshall Industries goes south as she barely got of the APC alive in the midst of a firefight. Upon gunning down Nahualli's gang to get to him and a few confrontations with Nahualli, she managed to have him captured. Sydney expected to get her performance bonus, but her CO, Gwen denied her of her bonus for getting out of line on duty. Reasonably enraged, Sydney drives to her apartment in silence just to spend the rest of her day with her roommates unbothered. Banter and disagreement ensues once she gets home and the four come up with the plan to rob a loan bank. Sydney first preps up for the small-time robbery through doing side hustles with people Kevin has connections with in order to pay for weapons.

### Epilogue

After ruthlessly killing Nahualli, Sydney, despite wanting to take a rest for a few weeks after having died once, and her crew strived to finish the Saints Tower being built in Rancho Providencia as a symbol of power over everyone in not only the district but in the entirety of Santo Ileso.

## Relationships

### Kevin

Starting out from being the acquaintance of her brother and Kevin's relationship and meeting at a nightclub, the two were fairly chill and loose from the get-go, often talking about the power of human connection and other "eye-opening" topics while they strive to sell recreational drugs on the low. After meeting Neenah and Eli, their friendship seemed to become rather rocky and almost difficult to communicate for a couple of reasons. Sydney hasn't been exactly there for him as he was stabbed a couple times and the unfortunate timing of Kevin and Tre's breakup, along with killing his former Idols buddies and Kevin failed to reach info on the Idols' raid for the Hummingbird Codex to Sydney on time. Over time throughout the events of Saints Row (2022), they slowly began to make up for their issues.

### Neenah

Sydney and Neenah are compatible from the moment they crossed paths on Sydney's home turf when Neenah was painting a Panteros mural on a nearby wall. With the two having the love and appreciation for art in different mediums, they hit it off almost immediately. It wouldn't take long for them to be a couple when Sydney garnered a heartwarming feeling towards Neenah that was much different than her previous relationships. She enjoyed her genuine strong-willed personality and the respect and care she gave to her when Sydney was at her lowest. The two together are merely unstoppable with Neenah's driving skills and Sydney's controlled chaotic self.
