Date of Birth: June 7, 1996

Arthur: “Thanks so much for joining us today Stryx!”

Stryx: “No worries, Art.”

Arthur: “Veil wants to get to know you a bit more, so let's get right into some questions, please answer as truthfully as possible. There are no wrong answers.”


What is your full name? Do you have a nickname (if so, who calls you this)?

Stryx is the only name I’ve ever had. Though people down at the coffee shop tend to nickname me “lady” or “coffee girl”

Do you have any siblings? If you do, what are/were they like?

None that I know of.

What is your occupation?

When I’m not directly involved with Ashen Veil, I help operate the local coffee shop down the road. I can make a mean espresso.

Are you right- or left handed?

Right handed, my left hand looks like a 2 year old trying to write with a crayon.

What does your voice sound like?

I do have a bit of a deeper voice, guess that's from smoking when I was a bit younger…

On what occasions do you lie?

Constantly. Have you ever had a middle aged overweight man try and hit on you? Sometimes you just have to laugh it off with a smile and slip a little bit of laxatives in his coffee. A good liar makes an excellent killer.

Do you have any annoying habits, quirks, strange mannerisms, or other defining characteristics?

Some people say I have an overly bubbly personality. I just try to be nice to everyone that I can. Whether that’s genuine or not usually is up to the person.

What kind of distinguishing facial features do you have?

I’ve been told my eyes are the color of a coffee with the perfect amount of cream. Look

*Stryx leans over to show Arthur*

Which words or phrases do you most overuse?

Hi sir, welcome in, can I get you anything off the menu today? *She laughs*

How close are you to your family?

I… Don’t even know my family to be honest. Ashen Veil is the closest thing I have to a family.

Do you have a spouse or significant other?

Oh no, I wouldn’t have time for that kind of thing, I enjoy what I do.

Who is the most important person in your life, why?

Veil, she gave us all of this, I’d be nowhere if it wasn't for her.

Who is the person you respect the most, why?

Veil. Without a doubt, do I even need to say why?

Who would you turn to if you were in desperate need of help?

Kari, she is always so eager to lend a hand, and loves coffee, which is an easy bribe when I need some help

If you died or went missing, who would miss you?

Well I would hope everyone here would miss me.

Who is the person you despise the most, why?

Mr. Filigree. He comes into the coffee shop every Tuesday and asks if I’m on the menu yet. It’s easily the worst part of the day for me.

Do you tend to take on leadership roles in social situations?

Oh heavens no. I enjoy being a cog in the machine.

Do you care what others think of you? Why or why not?

A bit. But I don't let it get too under my skin.

Do you like yourself?

Well, duh! Who wouldn’t like this *Stryx laughs*

Are you generally introverted or extroverted?

Oh very extroverted. I always look for people to talk to. It’s my favorite thing!

Are you generally organized or messy?

At work, I am organized and well maintained… at home….

What three words would others probably use to describe you?

Energizing, Fun, and Warm. Or so I’d like to think

What goal do you most want to accomplish in your life?

I want to make a coffee drink so good, even Veil herself loves it.

If you could choose, how would you want to die?

Of old age. After I’ve spent years with those I love around me.

If you were to die and come back as a person, animal, or thing, what do you think it would be, and why?

Ooh Ooh I’d love to come back as a kitty cat! They’re so cute and cuddly!

What is the one thing for which you would most like to be remembered after your death?

The best damn coffee you ever tasted!


Arthur: “Well that's all the questions I had for now”

Stryx: “Aww really? I was having fun”

Arthur: “Wait. Did you eat all my jellybeans during the interview”

Stryx: “Oh look at the time. I’m gonna be late for work!”


Come down to the Cafe and meet Stryx in the upcoming game. 

Updates to be posted as we approach a future release date!
