Just after her sixtieth birthday Norovah’s father passed away, her only other immediate family being her mother and several cousins who lived in Nos Astra. After her father’s death Norovah spent the next few decades drifting between professions both menial and more involved. Public transportation, corporate representation, trade floor supervision, and even waitressing. Around the age of one hundred and twenty she tried her hand at being a broker like her mother but never found it to her liking. Feeling the desire to see the rest of the galaxy Norovah instead signed on with a volus trader as engine maintenance and served aboard his ship for around twelve years. During her final year aboard the volus ship one of Norovah’s cousins had moved off of Nos Astra and traveled to Thessia and joined the military. A few years later in between jobs the same cousin invited Norovah to visit her on Thessia and would later attempt to sway her into joining the military. Initially hesitant Norovah consulted the rest of her family and with their ultimate support - and seeking a sense of duty and long term devotion and stability - Norovah joined the military at the age of one hundred and thirty-four. She would soon be among the ranks of the legendary asari commandos. For the next century Norovah served with honor and pride, rising through the ranks of the commandos. Her accreditation would eventually catch the attention of the Citadel Council who added her to their list of potential Spectre candidates. With the necessary approvals Norovah underwent Spectre training and was regularly evaluated. In time the Council came to the consensus that Norovah was perfect for the Spectres and she was accepted into their ranks. For over seventy years she has served the Council faithfully and has established a reputation as being efficient and always capable of getting the job done. [/hider] [hider=PERSONALITY PROFILE] Norovah T’zana can be described as “fair and just, but cynical and crass”. While not heartless or cold her decades with the commandos and Spectres both have hardened her. Military discipline and stringency have made her very professional and no nonsense, aside from the occasional peevish or sarcastic remark. Norovah is very competitive by nature and dislikes to be beaten or even heavily contested, having a self-created image of herself as being among the best. Capable and renowned as she is there is no denying that the otherwise dry and exact act asari has a streak of arrogance about her. [/hider] [hider=WEAPONS AND EQUIPMENT] [url=https://masseffect.fandom.com/wiki/M-9_Tempest][b]M-9 Tempest[/b][/url] (Submachine Gun) The M-9 Tempest has a high rate of fire and damaging impact and is effective against shields and biotic barriers though inaccurate at long range. It has a high capacity magazine and can be fired in both short bursts or fully automatic making it an ideal suppressing weapon. Norovah’s weapon is modded with disruptor rounds which further adds to it’s already heavy impact on shields. [hr][hr] [url=https://masseffect.fandom.com/wiki/M-3_Predator][b]M-3 Predator[/b][/url] (Heavy Pistol) Manufactured by Elanus Risk Control the Predator is valued as a powerful, deadly, and relatively inexpensive weapon. It’s strong against armor though relatively weak against kinetic barriers. A valued sidearm for Norovah with an attachable suppressor and a laser sighting. [hr][hr] [url=https://masseffect.fandom.com/wiki/M-98_Widow][b]M-92 Mantis[/b][/url] (Sniper Rifle) The Mantis is a powerful bolt-action sniper rifle able to take out most targets in a single shot. Incredibly accurate at long range it’s but rate of fire is slow. Effective against armor but weaker against shields and biotic barriers. Norovah favors this weapon in particular for scouting and infiltration missions, her own modded with an enhanced scope and disruptor rounds to increase damage to kinetic barriers. [hr][hr] [url=https://masseffect3.wiki.fextralife.com/Serrice+Council+Armor][b]Serrice Council Armor[/b][/url] (Hardsuit Armor) Norovah wears a full set of Serrice Council armor modded with boosted kinetic shielding. The shield boost itself allows for stronger kinetic barriers capable of enduring more heavy fire though the drawback is it takes more time to recharge in full when depleted. Already a skilled biotic as an asari, Norovah’s abilities are furthered by the top tier Prodigy implant, a creation of the Armali Council. [/hider] [/hider] [/center]
