Hel
Legal medical expert, Hearts of Iron 4 player
Name: Hel — the only known name. The real one is lost or deliberately hidden. Possibly originates from embroidery on the collar of the jacket in which she was found. Date of Birth: Presumably 1987 (exact date unknown). She looks like she's 25. Place of Birth: Stockholm, Sweden. Citizenship: Sweden (formally); residing in Japan permanently since 2020. Marital Status: Never married, never in a relationship. No known relatives. --- Timeline of Events 1987–1989: The Beginning In the winter of 1987 or 1989 (documents vary), a newborn girl is found in the entrance of a residential building in Stockholm. Wrapped in a man's jacket with the name "Hel" embroidered on the collar. No note, no identifying marks. The child is placed in state custody. 1989–2005: The Foster Care System Hel goes through five foster families. Reasons for transfer: "emotional coldness," "lack of attachment," "frightening gaze." She runs away from two families herself, explaining that "it was boring there." In three cases, the foster parents initiate the return. At 14, she is placed in a closed institution for troubled adolescents. During her stay, she does not participate in conflicts, shows no aggression, but also seeks no contact. Psychologists note high intelligence and a complete absence of emotional reactions. First part-time job (age 17): In the institution's workshops, she chooses woodworking. Makes stools and small furniture. The pieces are geometrically perfect but completely devoid of individuality. 2005–2007: First Years of Independent Life After graduation, she scrapes by on odd jobs in Stockholm: · Hospital cleaner. · Night watchman at a fish warehouse (keeps an observation diary, recording sounds, smells, passing cars). · Assistant at a funeral home (carrying wreaths, cleaning). Sees dead bodies for the first time, which sparks not fear but a lasting interest. 2007–2009: Stockholm — Casual Jobs and Night Life Works as a night watchman at a fish warehouse. Continues her diary. Encounters marginal circles but maintains distance. Once shelters a homeless man, listens to his story, and notes in her diary: "People need a reason to fall, but really they're just looking for an excuse." 2009–2010: Copenhagen — A Year with Bikers Moves to Copenhagen. Takes a job as a cleaner and dishwasher at a biker club. Due to her complete lack of fear and empty stare, she earns the nickname "Hel — Dog Whisperer" (the club's Rottweiler voluntarily lies at her feet). The club leader, noticing her observation skills, offers her work tracking shadow income. Hel agrees, as the job requires no emotional investment. 2010–2012: Amsterdam — Working for Arms Traffickers Through the bikers, she connects with Dutch criminal circles. Works as a logistics coordinator: tracking shipments, inspecting containers, handling documentation. Starts collecting "criminal curiosities" — notes, mistakes, absurd coincidences. Becomes indispensable due to her attention to detail. Encounters dead bodies in a criminal context for the first time, deepening her interest in death as a source of information. 2012–2014: Tokyo — Office Routine Moves to Japan, drawn by its different attitude toward death. Learns Japanese in three months, takes a job as a translator at a trading company. Quickly realizes that office work is "death in life" and starts seeking access to real death. 2014–2016: Funeral Home Takes a job as an assistant at a traditional Japanese funeral home. Learns rituals, body washing, cremation preparation. An old master notes her gift: "You're not afraid of death." Hel replies: "There is no death, only cessation of functions." 2016–2018: Education Enrolls in evening classes at a Tokyo medical university, specializing in forensic medicine. Instructors note her unique practical skills. In her first practical session, she determines the cause of death more accurately than some graduates. 2018–2022: Work at a Government Morgue Graduates and takes a position as a forensic expert at a Tokyo bureau. Performs routine autopsies while also assisting police in complex cases. Meets Detective Nakamura, who begins consulting her regularly. Her attention to detail helps solve several serial murders. 2022–2023: Private Practice Leaves the government institution due to bureaucracy. Starts working as a freelance forensic expert for lawyers, detectives, and private individuals. Maintains informal ties with the police. Continues collecting suicide notes and unusual cases. 2023 – Present: Gaming Period Accidentally discovers the world of video games. Quickly moves past single-player projects, concluding that most are "a waste of time on someone else's script." JRPGs particularly irritate her due to their linearity and forced emotionality. Starts playing multiplayer strategy games, especially Hearts of Iron IV. Regularly joins Discord channels, provoking and trolling other players, taking pleasure in their reactions. Her playstyle: cold calculation, unconventional tactics, and a complete lack of sentiment. She remains silent in voice chats, preferring to observe arguments in text channels and occasionally drop phrases that make others' eyes twitch. 2024 – Present Lives in Tokyo. Works selectively — only cases that seem interesting. Spends free time on Hearts of Iron IV, watching detective series (mentally correcting script errors), and trolling random people on Discord. --- Personal Data Appearance · Height: 170 cm. · Build: Lean, wiry, with no hint of femininity or masculinity — pure functionality. · Face: Regular but unmemorable features. Grey eyes with almost imperceptible iris patterns — they seem to absorb light rather than reflect it. Her gaze is direct, unblinking, making people want to look away first. · Hair: Dark brown, always tied in a tight low bun. A pencil or pen often sticks out of it. · Distinguishing marks: A thin silver ring on the index finger of her left hand. When asked about its origin, she replies: "A gift from a corpse" (true). Style of Dress · Main wardrobe: Strict black pantsuits, white or black turtlenecks, straight-leg trousers, comfortable black flat boots. All clothing perfectly pressed, without a single crease. · Principle: Complete absence of jewelry, logos, bright details. Clothing is armor, protecting from the outside world and drawing no attention. · Only exception: An old grey cardigan with a hole in the elbow, which she stubbornly refuses to mend and wears over her suit in cold weather. The hole is the only hint that beneath the armor, there is something alive (or almost alive). Manner of Speech · Speaks evenly, without intonation fluctuations, regardless of content. · Swearing is a natural part of her vocabulary, used not for emotional expression but as punctuation. "Fuck," "shit," "bitch" weave into her speech as organically as "well" or "like." · Actively adapts medical terminology to everyday situations: · A broken chair: "It has an open fracture of the leg. Prognosis unfavorable." · A frozen computer: "Second-degree coma. Pull the plug, we'll resuscitate." · An annoying interlocutor: "You have verbal diarrhea. I recommend loperamide." · Losing in HoI4: "Death resulted from total organ failure. An autopsy will show, but I already know — you're a dumbass." · On Discord, she types briefly, succinctly, provocatively. Never apologizes or explains. Worldview · Philosophical foundation: Radical nihilism. The universe is meaningless; life is a random biological error; emotions are hormonal glitches. · Attitude toward people: Biological robots whose actions are predictable. Only deviations from the norm spark interest. · Attitude toward death: The only reliable source of information. The dead do not lie, hide motives, or try to appear better. · Driving forces: Boredom and situational curiosity. Capable of long periods of inactivity if nothing new happens around her. · Humor: Dark, situational, most often expressed in comments that leave others unsure whether to laugh or call an ambulance. Habits and Quirks · Drinks only instant coffee; carries a thermos. · Collects suicide notes, sorting them by absurdity. · Watches detective series, mentally correcting script errors. · Can sit motionless for hours, observing people or just staring into space. · Talks to her cat, Fröken Bock (a fat old cat she's lived with for 12 years), but expects no reply. · Regularly plays Hearts of Iron IV, preferring multiplayer. Hates JRPGs for their linearity and "forced drama." · On Discord, behaves like a professional troll: provokes, asks uncomfortable questions, pushes people to the edge, then watches their reactions in complete silence. Her nickname: HelL (with two L's). Key Skills · Observation: Notices minute details that most overlook. · Analytical thinking: Quickly identifies logical inconsistencies and cause-and-effect relationships. · Forensic medicine knowledge: Professional expertise in autopsy methods, poisons, injuries, pathologies. · Criminal logistics: Experience with shadow supply chains, documentation, schemes. · Psychological manipulation (in gaming context): Knows how to get under people's skin, make them err, provoke rash actions. · Languages: Swedish (native), English (fluent), Japanese (fluent), Danish (conversational), Dutch (basic). Areas of Interest · Death as a source of information. · Criminal curiosities and human stupidity. · Serial killers (patterns, not personalities). · Japanese death traditions. · Hearts of Iron IV (especially breaking the meta and unconventional strategies). · Observing conflicts in Discord channels. Areas of Disinterest · Politics (as a global phenomenon, though local conflicts in HoI4 are fine). · Sports. · Relationships (romantic, friendly, familial). · Career advancement. · Religion. · JRPGs. Current Location Tokyo, Japan. A small apartment where she lives with her cat, Fröken Bock. Spends most of her time at the morgue, a café near the morgue, or at home with HoI4 and Discord open. --- Notes · Not a member of any organizations; has no permanent employers. · Maintains no ties to the criminal world but remains neutral. · The only living being allowed to invade her personal space is her cat. · Has no friends, acquaintances, or buddies. Contacts are limited to professional (Detective Nakamura, former colleagues), situational (café owner, neighbors), and virtual (random troll victims on Discord). · In her speech, swearing and medical terms are so organically intertwined that new acquaintances often don't realize she's cursing — she's just stating facts with available vocabulary. ---
