[b]Name:[/b] [color=red]Alyia Iona[/color]

[b]Age:[/b] [color=red]26[/color]

[b]Sex:[/b] [color=red]Female[/color]

[b]Appearance:[/b] [color=red]At 6' even Alyia stands noticeably shorter than most of her comrades, though still possesses the athletic frame of a Spartan, if somewhat more distinctly feminine than most. Straight, stark white hair frames her dark russet complexion, cutting off just below her chin. Her features are angled, with inky black almond-shaped eyes peering out from a veil of freckles. Her posture is generally relaxed, with a hint of a grin usually playing across her lips. A faint scar runs just below her left eye across her cheekbone, faded from age.[/color]

[b]Rank:[/b] [color=red]Spartan[/color]

[b]Armor:[/b] [color=red]MJOLNIR GEN2 FREEBOOTER-class armor supplimented with VENTURE-class helmet. Equipped with an enhanced diagnostic/scanning kit. Colored matte white with bright red accents. Almost always in a deconstructed state as she, much to the armorer's chagrin, tends to tinker with the systems out of habit. Utilizes Dianthus VISR.[/color]

[b]Primary:[/b] [url=https://www.halopedia.org/images/b/b7/H5G_Krith%27s_Left_Hand.png]Type-27 SASR (Modified)[/url]

[b]Secondary:[/b] [color=red]BR85 SR[/color]

[b]Personality:[/b] [color=red]Inquisitive with a distinctly mechanical mind, Alyia is for the most part personable enough to be pleasant to be around, even if she isn't particularly open or outgoing. Takes interest in the inner workings of most technology, a focus that has helped her more than once out in the field. She is competitive, with a healthy drive to better herself, a trait which was only enhanced with her induction into the SPARTAN-IV program.[/color]

[b]History:[/b] [color=red]Alyia was born on the backwater colony world of Venezia to an unforgiving world. With parents nowhere to be found in the collection of industrial buildings and establishments known in the city of New Tyne she grew up nearly entirely self-sufficient. She took help where she could and work when no help was to be found. Her natural talent with technology kept her afloat, while a good feel for danger kept her alive.

Growing up in the multicultural mixing pot of the multi-species city gave her a unique outlook on life, and a good feel for character regardless of species. Eventually working odd jobs became less of a necessity and more of a means to an end. By the time she was seventeen she had gotten herself a seat on a tradeship bound to the human core worlds. 

Her skillset, and lack of a real home directed her to enlisting in the UNSC Marine Corp shortly thereafter, where she proved to be a resourceful soldier in the face of adversity, with a knack for operating Covvie tech. This made her a candidate for the SPARTAN-IV program in the post war years, an opportunity that the orphan-turned soldier leapt at. With a focus on her strengths, Alyia began training in the effective application of non-standard weaponry in concert with UNSC weapons R&D to collect field data. This lead to a particular fondness for various alien designs, and a pension for "improving" them in her offtime to better fit human anatomy.[/color]

[b]Extras:[/b] [color=red]Fluent in Yig-Kar and the pidgin trade language native to Venezia, as possessing a passing familiarity of Sangheili thanks to the latter.[/color][/hider]
