Selena is one of the main protagonists of Fate's Trigger, Fate's Trigger: Conclusion, The Final Loop and Whispers of Purgation: Last Words.
Selena is a leader of the Havencraft class. Her leader skin can be purchased through the in-game shop as part of the 6th Anniversary Leader Pack.
Personality[]
As a result of her forced situation as an assassin, she feels trapped by her circumstances and takes out this frustration on others; she is emotional and impetuous, becoming angry at the slightest provocation, even with her love interest, Maiser. She is also desensitized to violence, and appears to have no qualms with killing or torturing people; she is characterized by an itchy trigger finger, and often refuses to listen to what others have to say (as with Illganeau and Drache). However, she is more kindly when not on the job, and hospitable to Maiser, Arisa, and the orphan children.
Story[]
History[]
As a child, Selena was thrown out onto the streets because her parent's couldn't afford to feed her. She began being bullied by the other children, but Maiser, another orphan, found her and helped protect and care for her. She quickly fell in love, but when they joined the church and the Abbess began teaching her and Maiser magic, she was taught the technique "Ignition" while Maiser learned the "Acceleration" technique. Selena was drafted to become an assassin in the name of the church to kill the wicked in Rivayle. She accepted the position so Maiser wouldn't be and he could fulfil his dreams. Using her Ignition magic, Selena could melt down candy into burning bullets that she used to melt down her targets. Despite many years of assassination, Selena believed she was just a tool for the gods. However, one day, Maiser accidently shot a civilian and fell into depression. Seeing how a good person like Maiser could be hit with such misfortune and how her prayers did nothing to help, Selena lost her faith and decide to take Maiser's salvation into her own hands.
Fate's Trigger[]
Selena feeds some kids lunch in the church she works at. The Church's Abbess arrives to help and after lunch is finished, she sends Selena out for a job. Later, a thief kills a man to steal his money, but he is found by Selena, who kills him with her magic bullets, burning away his body. After killing the thief, Selena moves on to pick up groceries. After returning to the church with the groceries, Selena sets out an extra plate for her friend, Maiser, though she denies it when the Abbess teases her about it. Suddenly, a pair of bandits, claiming to be Bunny and Baron, break into the church to rob it, and Selena fights them, realizing they aren't the real Bunny and Baron. Selena defeats the bandits and scares the bandit's off. Afterward, Selena expresses her doubts in the gods the church believes in to herself as she begin repairing the damage from the battle.
Maiser arrives at the church with Arisa as his guest. Selena immediately recognizes Arisa is not normal and privately expresses her concerns to Maiser, but Maiser insists Arisa is a good person. Though Selena remains suspicious, Arisa stays for lunch and Maiser offers to help her search for her allies. The conversation is interrupted when a deputy arrives and reveals some outlaws Maiser previous captured have important news and Maiser leaves to return to duty, leaving an exasperated Selena with Arisa. Selena is still suspicious of Arisa, but her cheery disposition and smile remind her of Maiser. Selena asks Arisa where she is from and explains her mission to find the Keepers. Selena doesn't believe Arisa, but moves on and the two discuss Maiser. During the conversation, Selena finally realizes that Arisa is harmless and tells her about Rivayle's origin. Arisa suspects the god was a Keeper and reveals the destruction they have created across multiple worlds, convincing Selena of her claims of being from another world. Arisa leaves after promising to help Rivayle, and Selena finds a strange bullet that Maiser dropped and holds onto it. The Abbess arrives with another mission for Selena, giving her a package of sweets in order to help her slay the Wretches.
Selena searches for the Wretches and eventually finds them near a woman, seemingly cornering her. She kills the wretches, but the woman grows angry and attacks Selena, asking her if she is Iceshillendrig. Selena senses the woman is similar to a wretch, and the woman introduces herself as Illganeau and asks Selena if she knows the name. Selena answers that she doesn't know her and Illganeau grows angrier that the wretches were shot and attacks in a confused manner. Selena's Ignition magic fails to defeat Illganeau, who continues attacking in a rage for the death of the Wretches. Selena eventually runs out of ammo and decides to use the bullet Maiser left behind to stun Illganeau long enough to flee.
Selena reaches a safe distance from Illganeau and is found by a fortune teller named Fleauesse, who heals Selena's wounds. Selena finds Fleauesse suspicious and the two discuss the appearance of the wretches and Illganeau. Fleauesse offers to see into Selena's future, but the latter declines, but agrees when she learns Fleauesse seems to have knowledge about her secrets. Fleauess foretells that under the right circumstances, Selena might just have a happy ending, but warns there are obstacles and her worst day may become even worse than she can imagine. Fleauesse takes her leave and disappears in a flash of light. Before Selena can contemplate Fleauesse's words, she is bumped into by a girl who, unknown to her, is Bunny, who quickly leaves. Selena tries to return to the church, but finds Maiser fighting a wretch and decides to help him before heading home.
When the Wretch corners Masier, Selena destroys it by using Ignition on her own body. Maiser thanks Selena and the latter warns that wretches have been popping up in dark alleys and other hidden places. Maiser suspects the appearance of wretches has something to do with Iceshillendrig and Selena reveals he has been pulling funding into a ritual of some kind. Selena returns to the church, but her body is injured from her earlier use of Ignition, and the Abbess orders her to rest because there is trouble brewing around Iceshillendrig and she may be needed again soon. Selena begins to rest to prepare for the looming danger.
When Selena awakens, the Abbess tells her Nahtnaught is going after Iceshillendrig and it could cause a war between all of Rivayle. Fearing what Iceshillendrig will do to Rivayle if he stays in power, the Abbess orders Selena to kill him. However, the Abbess reveals that she knows Selena has lost her faith in the gods and Selena admits she is right and that the only thing she really cares about is Maiser. She leaves to find Iceshillendrig, declaring she will take fate into her own hands.
As Selena hunts Iceshillendrig, she notices Bunny and Baron have riled up the townsfolk. She begins searching a garrison for information on Iceshillendrig in the back alleys, but a man named Zecilwenshe finds her and reveals he knows about the killings she does for the church. Zecilwenshe reveals the garrison's soldiers are all dead and attacks Selena. Selena's Ignition manages to bring Zecilwenshe to his knees and she demands he tell her about Iceshillendrig's ritual. Zecilwenshe reveals that the ritual will remake all of Rivayle before disappearing and leaving one of Iceshillendrig's henchman to die in his place. Trying to figure out Iceshillendrig's plan, Selena begins question the dying henchman by using the promise of death to escape the pain he is in.
Fate's Trigger: Conclusion[]
Selena continues interrogating the dying henchman, who reveals it was Iceshillendrig's ritual that created the Wretches, but he doesn't know why or why he has been giving seals to wealthy citizens. When she is certain the henchman can't tell her anymore, she puts him out of his misery. Selena continues interrogating Iceshillendrig's henchmen, but can't drag out any solid details. She discovers Maiser is fighting and saves him from a sneak attack. She reveals she is targeting Iceshillendrig and teams up with Maiser when more henchmen attack.
Suddenly, Zecilwenshe attacks Arisa, Maiser, Selena, Bunny, Baron, and Illganeau simultaneously through different bodies. Maiser and Selena fight off one of Zecilwenshe's bodies, but they become surrounded by wretches. After the kill the wretches, Zecilwenshe returns in a new body and reveals Bunny is tearing through his other bodies. He then reveals that the two have been killing civilians he has possessed, leaving Maiser distraught. Selena tries to convince Maiser the deaths are a trick by Zecilwenshe and the two attack him.
After fighting for a bit, Maiser prepares to fire a finishing shot against Zecilwenshe's bodies, but at the last second, he leaves the possessed bodies so they are hit instead. Selena tries to convince a horrified Maiser that the deaths are still just a trick. Zecilwenshe proves he can possess and leaves the bodies of others at will, leaving Maiser distraught. Selena kills Zecilwenshe's last body in the area and tries to convince Maiser he didn't do anything wrong. However, Maiser unable to stand the remorse of killing innocent people and forces an unwilling Selena to shoot him as penance. As Selena grieves over the death of the one person she cared about, she shoots herself to join him.
The Final Loop[]
In a new cycle, during Selena and Maiser's battle against Zecilwenshe, the latter feels pain from Kagero's attack. Maiser prepares to fire at Zecilwenshe and the latter prepares to reveal something, but is killed by Drache. Selena is distrustful of Drache and Zecilwenshe rises in another body to reveal her anger is because she is trying to keep Maiser from learning that he has been killing innocent citizens that Zecilwenseh has been possessing. Zecilwenshe escapes after slitting the throat of the body he is currently possessing and despite Selena's attempts to convince Maiser otherwise, he learns the truth of his actions. Drache confirms the reality of the situation and Selena, angered at Drache's meddling, aims her gun at him. Despite not wanting to fight and Selena's threat, Drache refuses to take back his words about reality about how people have died. In a desperate attempt to keep Maiser from accepting the reality of his actions, Selena attacks Drache. Despite Maiser's attempts to calm her, Selena drags him into the fight against Drache, but Drache expresses his anger at the situation he is in and the two refusing to accept reality and fights back.
Drache proves to be resilient against Selena and Maiser's magic and continues declaring that people have died by the two's hands during their fight with Zecilwenshe. Maiser stops Selena's attempts to deny reality and accepts what he has done and explains to Drache how he accidently killed a woman in the past and how it affected him. Drache shares memories of cycles where he killed his clan and loved ones and accuses Maiser of pushing his need for forgiveness onto others. He then condemns Selena for trying to hide Maiser from reality and tells Maiser that his sins are not meant for judgement but a burden he must carry. He then asks them about the trial of Rivayle and Maiser explains they are after Iceshillendrig, giving Drache a sense of direction. Before leaving, Drache tells Maiser and Selena they must face their actions instead of hiding from them. Though distraught by the ordeal, Selena decides to continue going after Iceshillendrig to end his reign, brushing off Maiser when he tries to come with her. Maiser apologizes to those he's killed and promises to bear his sins and protect Selena.
Selena and Maiser witness the rising conflict and Maiser realize Vincent is planning on finishing the fight on Iceshillendrig's side. Selena is angered by Vincent's duplicity and insists they leave Rivayle until the dust settles but Maiser insists on staying to intervene. When he and Selena argue, Selena hints towards the assassinations she committed. Maiser, realizing she was the one protecting him, thanks Selena for all she has done for him, but makes it clear he won't stand by and will try and reason with Vincent. Before the two can argue further, a wretch monster and Iceshillendrig's henchmen attack and Masier, having full regained his confidence in himself, shoots them. He tells Selena he wants to shoulder the burdens she is carrying, having gained his resolve to protect her. Maiser leaves to find Vincent and Selena is found by the church Abbess.
While searching for Vincent, a deputy tries to warn him that Vincent is past the point of being dissuaded, but Maiser isn't deterred and continues his mission. Drache continues fighting Vincent, despite being overpowered, and Vincent recognizes that they are both running out of magic. The battle is interrupted by Maiser, but Vincent, aware of his reasons for coming, tells him he will not back down. Vincent offers to let Maiser walk away if he gives up, but Maiser refuses and fights alongside Drache. The battle against Vincent is also interrupted by the Shades and Vincent leaves to address the problem while Maiser and Drache fight the Shades.
Drache and Maiser become overwhelmed by the number of Shades and Drache determines that they must stop their leader. While fighting, Drache condemns Maiser for letting his feelings about Selena distract him and urges him to come forward with them to her. A giant Shade attacks the two and Drache takes it on alone while Maiser goes to find Selena. While searching, Maiser is attacked by another giant Shade and manages to defeat it but is saved from a smaller Shade by Selena. Selena explains she was leading people to safety but is angry at Maiser for running off earlier. She rants about how she did everything she could to help Maiser, only for him to risk himself, but Maiser tells Selena he loves her. Selena is still frustrated at Maiser's previous ignorance of her feelings and her guilty from her assassinations, but Maiser embraces her, tells her he shares the same guilt, and admits she means everything to him. Reconciled, Maiser and Selena hold off the Shades to defend Rivayle.
Vincent and Nahtnaught are overpowered by Iceshillendrig and Zecilwenshe, having grown stronger with Iceshillendrig's new power, overwelms Illganeau. Nahtnaught summons Kagero, Sekka, Drache, Maiser, and Selena to the battle using her power and Vincent uses his power to heal and empower everyone for the battle.
After the battle's end, Rivayle has become much more peaceful and Maiser proposes to Selena, but she teasingly rejects his offer but promises to accept one day.
Whispers of Purgation: Last Words[]
Maiser rushes off to do his job as deputy in charge in Vincent's place, while preparing a meal with Selena talking about how things have been going since Nexus reappeared in Rivayle and took Vincent, Nahtnaught and Illganeau away, leaving the place with no one to put things in order. As the Abess, children and other townspeople have already left on the train, the two talk about how Rivayle is changing after Iceschillendrig's defeat and how happy they are to be together, though the current situation leads Selena to lose her faith in the gods. Maiser gives Selena a ring to make up for their wedding ceremony, and Selena tells him that they should put their regrets aside and look toward Rivayle's future.
Bunny and Baron meet up with Maiser and Selena at the church, eating together in surprise that they are no longer separated by vigilantes and criminals, but by those who want to save Rivayle. When discussing how to confront Nexus, Maiser confirms that only the four of them remain after completing the evacuation of everyone in Rivayle, both the poor and the rich. Bunny and Baron say that their strategy is to simply kill Nexus, but that although they no longer have the Fate's Bullet, the fact that Fleauesse created it makes it of divine origin, just like the Titans. Thus, what they have to do is become Titans themselves by inheriting their powers. In an old journal with records of all the Titans that have ever existed, they find a ritual called the "Song of Heaven and Earth" used to transmit the power of a Titan, however this comes with the risk of dying from not being able to withstand the Titans' mana as well as the cost of the previous Titan's life.
Illganeau suddenly arrives, cheering everyone who thought she was dead after the battle with Nexus. Illganeau reveals that the third line does in fact exist, but that it will not save the other Titans, something she knows thanks to Iceschillendrig, who appears in a ghostly form, making everyone tense. Illganeau reveals that after being defeated by Nexus, she spent time wandering the world between life and death, finding Iceschillendrig there and bringing him back with her inside her body in exchange for him helping them with what he knows. Although everyone is hesitant to trust him, Illganeau tells them that it's their only option. Iceschillendrig then reveals the third line of the ritual, that as long as there's a Titan present, it can be carried out without the other two and that it is a way that they can avoid dying during it, but only if they're willing to let Vincent and Nahtnaught die.
As Nexus returns to Rivayle, Illganeau is left to fight her army of Shades while Bunny, Baron, Maiser, and Selena take on the Keeper. The four attack Nexus, but are powerless against her. This is until Baron summons Nahtnaught's Boxing Magic and Maiser uses Vincent's Magic. However, Nexus notes that they both only have half of each Titan's power, with Baron only being able to use it in his right hand and Maiser only adding speed to his Ignition. However, Bunny and Selena reveal that they have the other half of the powers, as the Titans' heritage was split evenly into two so that they could resist it at the cost of reduced power. Although Nexus doesn't believe they have the power to oppose him, they combine their abilities in a number of ways. Selena combines her magic with Maiser's using Vincent's commands, Bunny gives Maiser's bullets even more acceleration by putting them in her box and releasing them, Baron expands Selena's sugar bullets into fire bombs, and Maiser gains mobility by getting into Baron's casualties and sharing his Acceleration with him. Gaining the upper hand, they claim that they will overcome her because humans have within them the ability to create a new future. Growing more confused and furious, Nexus decides to use the power of Fury once again to turn back time.
Nexus does another of her Reset and Restart, but time suddenly stops without her doing so. Illganeau appears declaring that there will be no time left, revealing that time is not asleep but "stagnated", which Iceschillendrig accomplished. Thus, as soon as he saw that Nexus would use her power over time, Baron sent a signal through the seal to begin the ceremony that would inherit the power of the three Titans. The two declare that the future of Rivayle belongs to their people before setting time running again. The five warriors join forces and destroy Nexus for good. Arisa returns from her imprisonment to find that her allies have won.
Vincent reconciles with Maiser, saying that he's proud of what he's accomplished and that he hopes the two can work together rebuilding Rivayle until the day he becomes his successor, though Maiser asks for some time off to finally celebrate his wedding with Selena.
