[indent][b][color=02fc5e]Name[/color][/b] | Lokea Zhu

[b][color=02fc5e]Race[/color][/b] | Asari

[b][color=02fc5e]Age[/color][/b] | 9 years old

[b][color=02fc5e]Gender[/color][/b] | Feminine

[b][color=02fc5e]Appearance[/color][/b] | Lokea bears an uncanny resemblance to the asari commando Shiala, green skin and all. Often wearing Rosenkov Armor, she never fails to put on a tough appearance, with and without weapons. However, while often times she wears her armor out in public, and wears a casual set of trousers and a shirt indoors, she doesn't put her standard-issue mercenary helmet on unless she has time to prepare for combat. The camouflage on her armor, while strongly resembling the human multicam pattern, was mainly adopted by the Nos Astra Freedom Battalion in the Reaper War to make it difficult for their troops to be spotted in the urban rubble. Whether or not it was effective no one really knew, but it did help against organic criminals that came after the war. Below are her profile shots and a detailed image of her armor.

[b][color=02fc5e]Personality[/color][/b] | Lokea didn't really start off with one after coming from one of those Thorian sacs, having been trying to parse over the millions of planted memories from the various people that the Thorian once had control over. Over time, she found herself to be a bit of an expressive, if not an emotionally and mentally unstable hedonist who lives for the present who enjoys the friendly company of other creatures. She stills struggles with her degeneration and her planted memories, but she has gotten much better since she started. Her origin of birth and her clone-like nature does give her somewhat of an inferiority complex, making her want to stand out and be as expessive and heroic as she is in order to make up for it. However, being an expressive individual, she loves to paint, sing, play music and even garden on her free time, having a love for creating the good things that come in life. She also has a soft spot for children, and is actually pretty good with kids. Whether it would be her inherent immaturity at her age or the planted memories of being a mother, Lokea would never know. With her love of creation and friendly individuals, she has a need to protect these things, a strong protection instinct having grown on her when she fought in the brief but devastating Reaper War. With memories planted from an asari and quite a few humans, she knows mostly human expressions and languages, and values freedom and joy in all things. Take those away from her and those she cares about, those responsible will be sorry. 

(( Will develop more through play. ))

[b][color=02fc5e]Backstory[/color][/b] | Long story short, Lokea Zhu is an Asari Clone born from the Thorian who made a name for herself in Illium. Details below.

[hider=Backstory Detailed]Born from the genetic stock of the Asari Commando [url=http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Shiala]Shiala[/url], Lokea was created under strange circumstances by the [url=http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Thorian]Thorian[/url] found on the planet of [url=http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Feros]Feros.[/url] While the Thorian exerted its influence and control of the populace of the nearby [url=http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Zhu%27s_Hope]Zhu's Hope,[/url] it created [url=http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Asari_Clone]strange green-skinned clones of Shiala[/url] in order to speak for it and defend it. While quite a few were deployed when Commander Shepard arrived in search of the conduit, some were stored in sacks for a quick response measure, and deployed some in order to quickly stop Shepard, as the Thorian resisted Shepard's attempts to deal with it. However, Shepard's squad was able to quickly dispatch the clones, the creepers and the nodes that held the Thorian in the building, and because of this, the Thorian was doomed. The Thorian was killed, Shiala and the Zhu's Hope colonists were freed, and Shepard was able to use the conduit as planned, getting closer to Saren.

However, not all of the sacs were destroyed, and not all of the clones were killed. Hours after the incident, Lokea surfaced from one of these sacs, free from the grasp of the Thorian. While she had a mixture of memories given to her by the Thorian when she was created, these memories were all scrambled, all from different minds and different bodies. She struggled to figure out who she was, what her name was, and who to speak [i]for.[/i] She struggled to unscramble her thoughts, even as she walked amongst the corpses of the creepers and clones that had fallen in the battle earlier. Once she got hungry, she remembered what needed to be done. Using her commando skills that was granted to her through muscle memory, she managed to stalk and kill quite a few varren with her biotic abilities, finding her innate talents granted to her from Shiala's muscle memory. She wandered around the ruins of Feros for at least a week, attempting in solitude to unscramble her memories, and try to learn who she really was. It wasn't long before she stumbled into an Exogeni salvage crew, who gave her immediate medical attention, and sent her to a proper medical facility in Terra Nova for further treatment and study. She made a full recovery, but medics and eventually scientists were a bit shocked by the developments they found when treating her and examining her.

While all of Lokea's anatomy resembles that of an Asari, her green skin coloration was rather odd, though it was due to the mixed green pigment that came natural with most plants. When asked for a name, Lokea could only come up with many, being that of Shiala, Ian, Fai and many others, matching the records of those who were last recorded as those in Zhu's Hope. The interviewers asked her what she would come up with for herself, and after careful deliberation, Lokea called herself as such, as it meant 'hope' in the Asari language. 'Zhu' was added in as a suggestion, which Lokea took. Careful research and questioning, as well as corroboration with statements given from the colonists and salvage teams, suggested that she was one of the few surviving clones from it, and that she shared a mind with the Thorian. This gave her memories and skills that were possessed by the others (biotics, combat abilities, technical skills, languages, and vague history). While it did give Lokea a head start, she still needed to learn how to figure out which memories were hers and which ones weren't. Further tests have shown that the creation of clones such as herself, while creating a perfectly capable asari with biotic ability, gave them some strange form of accelerated degeneration, with doctors giving Lokea an estimation of about 60 years left to live. After an extended stay at the hospital, with some research done by Alliance scientists, Lokea was given medicine and treatment for her strange degeneration (medicine not normally used for this purpose but ended up helping Lokea regardless), regular doses allowing her to live about to an estimated of 90 years old before her organs fail. To this day, Lokea takes her weekly doses of her medication to keep her degeneration at bay.

Having spent six months at Terra Nova, she learned all about the Battle of the Citadel and Shepard's exploits, as well as the various stories that happened around the galaxy. It took her a while to piece everything together, but she was able to get a decent history of the galaxy and it's denizens in her head, connecting the dots between all of the accounts she had in her mind. Government officials on Terra Nova advised her to travel to an Asari world in order to find better treatment (as almost all of the medical facilities in Terra Nova were human), so Lokea immediately boarded a ship to Illium. She arrived there without incident, and settled down in a poorer neighborhood in Nos Astra. She spent her time on Illium learning about herself and her talents, trying to paint a better, clearer picture of herself from the many planted memories that came with her. She also spent her time using the skills she inherited from these planted memories, perfecting them. These skills were also used to help her with employment as well, having a slightly difficult time adjusting to work life but with a set routine, she was able to get the hang of things. She spent the next two and a half years in Nos Astra working at one of the shipping facilities, using her biotic abilities to help with package handling. She spent her free time tapping into her other talents of gardening, painting and playing musical instruments, learning how to express herself in fun, creative ways. She made quite a few friends in Illium, but that all changed when the Reapers arrived.

Lokea remained on Illium when the Reapers arrived, and when it happened, it was chaos. Lokea, having honed some of her biotic abilities at this point, decided to put them to good use, protecting the few friends she made with her biotic spheres, and forcing the invading reapers back. A local resistance was organized within weeks, and Lokea quickly became an active part of what was known as the Nos Astra Freedom Battalion. Using her skills as a commando to strike hard and strike fast at important enemy installations, she was able to help the Freedom Battalion keep Reaper troops off their planet for a while. Lokea used her time in battle to learn more and more about her biotic potential, finding out new ways to use her abilities. Often times, she would use them for more defensive purposes, but her abilities were effective at bringing troops out of cover and keeping husks at bay. While she enjoyed fighting with her biotic abilities as well as with her assault rifles and pistols, she didn't enjoy seeing what few friends she had perish in the war. Seeing bodies litter the streets, watching friends and loves ones burn away, it only made things worse for her already fragile mental state. In the months ensuing, Lokea continued to fight against the Reapers, until they fell.

All that was left to do was to rebuild. No more fighting, no more suffering, just rebuilding. Taking back what is lost. Lokea spent most her time in the efforts to rebuild Nos Astra with what was left of the Freedom Battalion, trying to cope with the scars that the war left her. While she rebuilt the homes of her own and her loved ones, she grieved with the survivors, and used her biotics to heal the wounds and scars that the Reapers left on the city. When there was nothing left to rebuild, Lokea took some time to revitalize the art that was abandoned during the war, and used her hobbyist skills to help bring back the culture she loved dearly. The art, the music, and the gardens that used to be there, she helped bring back with some of her living friends that she now considered family. Her distinction during the Reaper War and reconstruction within the Nos Astra Freedom Battalion made her a recognized hero of sorts, having used her talents to help the downtrodden. Even after the war was over and during reconstruction, there were still people who never learned, and there were still entities that preyed on the innocent. While the Freedom Battalion downsized since many of its members went home to rebuild, the militia was still an effective fighting force, keeping criminals away from the innocent. Due to the Freedom Battalion interfering with the interests of Nos Astra's corporate elite, the local government forcefully shut down the Freedom Battalion, leaving Lokea without a job. Thanks to being blacklisted in Illium, Lokea had no where else to go, and had no income to keep her medicated, and to keep her home. She sold her home to her friends, and she was rendered homeless for about a few weeks. Things were looking down until she got that fateful message from Saris Fen...[/hider]

[b][color=02fc5e]Specialty[/color][/b] | Biotic Commando / Vanguard

[b][color=02fc5e]Powers/Skills[/color][/b] | Lokea had inherited her powers and skills through the shared mind of the Thorian, most of her offensive capability given to her thanks to Shiala. However, her artistic, farming and tech skills were granted to her from that of the colonists of Zhu's Hope, and she uses these abilities to their fullest extent as well. Thanks to her planted commando training and her experience during the Reaper War and reconstruction, she's pretty effective with her biotic abilities, as well as with assault rifles and handguns. While she's a fantastic biotic, she's nowhere near as powerful as the likes of many heroes the galaxy has to offer. As such, while she can use her biotics for extended periods of time, she'd need to consume a lot of food to do so, as it consumes large amounts of energy from her. Biotic abilities are listed below:

[indent][url=http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Asari_Clone][img]https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/masseffect/images/c/cb/ME3_Mastery.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/60?cb=20180205234101[/img] Asari Clone[/url] - Thanks to the planted memories given to her, Lokea was able to tap into her natural biotic abilities with ease, and develop her talents over time. The abilities granted to her by the planted memories of the colonists and Shiala granted her skills in firearms, Asari martial arts, farming, technical skills, languages and the like allow her to excel in most combat and non-combat fields with fair to superb proficiency. 
[url=http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Pull][img]https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/masseffect/images/a/a1/ME3_Pull.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/60?cb=20180206204514[/img] Pull[/url] - Lokea can use her biotic ability to lift objects and people into the air and towards herself, putting them in a field of weightlessness that harmlessly floats towards her.
[url=http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Throw][img]https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/masseffect/images/0/0f/ME3_Throw.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/60?cb=20180206224846[/img] Throw[/url] - This ability is a basic push that can hurl targets away from her, whether it would be harmlessly or with forceful damage.
[url=http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Slam][img]https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/masseffect/images/3/3a/ME3_Slam.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/60?cb=20180206221902[/img] Slam[/url] - Using the principles of applied force of the above two, Lokea and lift targets up off the ground, and slam them back down into it.
[url=http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Charge][img]https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/masseffect/images/9/98/ME3_Biotic_Charge.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/60?cb=20180206015006[/img] Charge[/url] - This culmination of biotic power allows Lokea to 'charge' through objects towards specific targets and individuals, as long as she could see what she is aiming for. She can do small charges and 'glides' with her biotic power, but an offensive charge can allow her to push people with such damaging force that it would throw them back a considerable distance.
[url=http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Barrier][img]https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/masseffect/images/9/9a/ME3_Barrier.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/60?cb=20180206010101[/img] Barrier[/url] - One of the first abilities that Lokea utilized of her biotics was basic kinetic protection. It acts in the same way kinetic shields would, but with only light focus, it can greatly reduce the effects of any incoming kinetic attacks. This barrier can be broken with enough force, or sustained force.
[url=http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Biotic_Focus][img]https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/masseffect/images/9/98/ME3_Biotic_Focus.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/60?cb=20180206010805[/img] Biotic Focus[/url] - With enough focus, this forceful energy allows Lokea to keep give her additional strength and resistance, protecting her against blunt melee damage, as well as giving her additional strength for other tasks.
[url=http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Biotic_Sphere][img]https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/masseffect/images/1/1f/ME3_Biotic_Sphere.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/60?cb=20180206013904[/img] Biotic Sphere[/url] - This ability creates a defensive sphere around Lokea, allowing her to protect herself and anyone inside. Like the barrier above, this sphere can bring some serious damage protection to any who remain inside of it. With enough force, it can be broken, like an normal barrier.[/indent]

[b][color=02fc5e]Equipment[/color][/b] | While Lokea would sometimes wear casual clothes, thanks to circumstances, all she has left is a travel bag with said casual clothes, as well as her combat-ready Rosenkov Armor. Her armor, as pictured above in appearance, was given camouflage to help her blend in with most environments, though whether or not it was actually effective Lokea doesn't know. The armor itself can protect her from low-end ballistics, other low-force kinetic attacks and quite a few hazards, though modern military-grade weapons can often pierce through it. Such armor does have several pouches and weapon hardpoints that allow her to carry the below on any given mission.

[indent][b][url=http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/M-8_Avenger#Mass_Effect_3][img]https://i.imgur.com/SgB5Cw1.png?1[/img] M-8 Avenger Assault Rifle[/url][/b] - This tough, reliable firearm has been a design success, and thanks to its cheap, fast and reliable nature, it was fielded to militaries and militia groups the galaxy over during the Reaper War. Issued to Lokea when she participated in the Nos Astra Freedom Battalion, she used this weapon well, and upgraded it to her liking. Accurate and deadly in single fire mode and devastating in full auto, this weapon has only failed unskilled users.
[b][url=http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/M-6_Carnifex#Mass_Effect_3][img]https://i.imgur.com/TFTNmbI.png?1[/img] M-6 Carnifex Handgun[/url][/b] - Needing a basic but powerful sidearm to allow quick and easy dispatching of close-ranged targets, Lokea requisitioned a Carnifex for her use as a sidearm. Replacing her M-3 Predator pistol, she fielded the Carnifex for general sidearm use, the powerful gun itself never once having failed her. 

[b]Flashbang Grenades[/b] - Having specialized in urban warfare, Lokea makes extensive uses of flashbangs when clearing out buildings of reapers and criminals. These handy non-lethal grenades allow her to blind her targets, and quickly clear a room of disoriented combatants, giving her precious time to identify friend from foe, and promptly react.
[b]Thermal Clips[/b] - Such thermal clips are only used in emergencies. In extended periods of fire, when Lokea is often using single-shot fire modes, she doesn't use thermal clips, and instead waits for the weapons to cool. However, in the event when the weapon is needed in that moment, she uses the thermal clip to change out the heat sinks and keep firing.
[b]Rangefinder[/b] - This rangefinder is a smart scope that allows Lokea to see very far distances, and she has employed it when acting as a spotter for the Nos Astra Freedom Battalion sniper groups.
[i][b]Omni-Tool Modules[/b][/i]
[indent][b]Medigel/Healing Module[/b] - This omni-tool module allows her to perform basic first aid easily on any wounded victims. While it doesn't cure them, it can buy wounded victims enough time to get proper help.
[b]Basic Hacking Module[/b] - Also known as the "Advanced Communications Module", this module allows Lokea to hack into anything that has the most basic of protection, ranging from wireless audio devices to basic locks.
[b]'Swiss Army Knife' Module[/b] - Using the omni-gel converter that comes with the omni-tool, it can forge small tools that can be used for any basic need. Knives, screwdrivers, powersaws, corkscrews, nails... there's nothing the Omni-tool can't do! Almost.
[b]Musical Instrument Module[/b] - Her omni-tool has an expensive but effective module of being able to simulate a variety of musical instruments, including keyboards, drums, strings and even some brass. It can even create some smaller instruments out of omni-gel as well. With the amount of sound libraries pirated onto the Omni-Tool, Lokea can create beats and instrumentals on the spot if need be, and possibly poorly recreate most songs on the fly.[/indent]
[b]Basic Kinetic Barriers[/b] - These basic kinetic barriers, while not military grade, protect from quick attacks, buying Lokea enough time to properly set up a defense or take cover. Said kinetic shield is small and can be concealed in clothing, and while it protects from bullets and explosions, it cannot protect against melee attacks.[/indent]

[b][color=02fc5e]Misc[/color][/b] | Lokea also has some other aspects to her that should be taken into consideration.

[indent]• Her time in the Nos Astra Freedom Battalion, while earning her quite a few friends, has also earned many enemies amongst pirates, mercenaries and other criminal factions. Her green countenance is almost unmistakable, and now that the Freedom Battalion was shut down, Lokea is all alone.
• While Lokea regularly takes her medication to help her live her life normally, it has the side effects of making her memory a little foggy. Without her medication, however, her biotics are a little more unstable, she feels pain in various parts of her body from it just naturally falling apart, and she couldn't eat certain foods without vomiting. Lokea's biology with natural plant genes creates some incompatibility within her body, and thanks to this, she is infertile and unable to reproduce. Other side effects come from this genetic incompatibility are much more minor, and are TBD. 
• Her medication is Terrumite V, and while expensive, is somewhat common, and is meant to treat biotics with some of their disorders. It had the unintended side effects of treating Lokea's problems. While there is no cure, the treatment will do for now.
