Name: Lysia V'tira Age: 250 Species: Asari Gender: Mono Gender though refers to herself as she. Appearance: Lysia's skin is a bluish grey with her scalp crest being almost completely blue. Her eyes are a silvery grey and have white facial markings surrounding both eyes. She is 5'9 in height and weighs 140lbs. Like many Asari she has a naturally curvaceous figure that humans would call hourglass (bust and hips similar in width and a smaller waist) She has several scars, one a diagonal slash across her breasts, another on her thigh and one on her forearm. Occupation: Mercenary, former Asari commando. Class: Adept Powers: Throw, Singularity, Barrier, Shockwave, Warp, Stasis Weapons: M3 Predator (pistol) M9 Tempest (SMG) Armor: Light Hydra Armor Apparel: Brown coloured form fitting outfit (standard Asari Commando Uniform see example: http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p219/flatlinedreams/shialacommandoarmor.jpg Equipment: Bluewire Omni Tool, Savant Bio-Amp Personality: Very dry, sarcastic sense of humor and as such nearly everything she says is a sarcastic comment. This gives the impression that she is not taking things seriously but it is in fact the opposite as Lysia is a professional above all else. Her training as a commando left her with strong mental control and discipline. However since leaving the military she has developed traits, that her trainers would have considered 'bad habits', such as a short temper that has gotten her into trouble on more than one occasion. Another is her inability to kill those who are significantly weaker than her (children, civilians) and also those whom she has become close to. This can cause issues in occupation as a mercenary. Biography: Born on the Asari Terminus world Chalkhos to Asari parents Lysia dealt with the stigma of being a 'pureblood' from an early age. Her parents were scientists who specialized in genetic engineering (illegal in council space) and had chosen to live on Chalkhos so they could continue their research without fear of prosecution. Life on Chalkhos was not an easy one, as a Terminus world it was rife with farmers growing illegal substances, and armed gangs who preyed on the other colonists. Lysia's parents were killed in an attack by an armed gang who were trying to steal their research to sell to the highest bidder. Lysia only survived because she had been away from home at the time and she returned to find her parents dead. Left to fend for herself she joined a gang, rivals with the ones who had killed her parents, and spent years with them running arms deals, raiding colonists and fighting other gangs. Eventually her gang declared all out war on their main rival and managed to wipe them out. Having achieved what she had set out to do Lysia left the gang wanting to escape from Chalkhos with its bad memories. She traveled to Thessia where she met and became an Acolyte to Matriarch Solani. Matriarch Solani taught Lysia how to hone her Biotic skills and also encouraged her to join the commandos. Though unsure at first Lysia soon found a home in the commando's and excelled at the training. She welcomed the physical and mental control they taught, and the heightening of her combat and biotic skills. When she finished her training she returned to Matriarch Solani's side as one of her bodyguards. She stayed with the Matriarch for well over a hundred years and as well as guarding the Matriarch she helped train the new commando's who joined her squad. Her life changed again however when the Matriarch was killed on her watch, Solani a powerful politician, incurred the wrath of a fellow asari who had her own commando's attack Solani. Whilst this does happen it is sufficiently rare enough that Lysia and her squad were unprepared. The Matriarch and the rest of her squad were killed and Lysia was badly wounded. She spent a long time recovering in a hospital on Thessia before making the choice to leave the commando's behind. Her first act was to kill the politician who had ordered the attack, she managed this with the help of a few ex commando's. Once the politician was dead Lysia and her fellow ex commando's left Thessia and formed their own small Mercenary group. They slowly built a reputation for infiltrating and assassinating targets. Lysia left the group after they took on a contract to kill an entire family, faced with the prospect of killing children Lysia could not do it. What ensued was a chaotic game of cat and mouse as she endeavored to protect the family from the mercs she had previously worked with. It culminated in a showdown with Lysia being ambushed by her former squadmates, they killed the family and were determined to kill Lysia as well. She had turned her back on them and not only did they see this as a betrayal but Lysia also knew important information about how they operated and they could not afford for it to fall into the wrong hands. She escaped the ambush but they hounded her for years until she finally decided enough was enough and went on the offensive. She managed to find and kill them all but swore she would never kill those she cared about again. She has ended up on Zakera Ward and is currently freelancing as a Mercenary. Other: Lysia is currently in the Maiden stage of her biological cycle.
