Zodiac Sign: Pisces

Special Talent: Persuasive. Stella is very well spoken and knows how to navigate her way through a conversation, be it simply to make the discourse flow, make an appeal, or otherwise just get her way. One could even say she is a good liar though Stella likes to think of it as just being verbally flexible and convincing.

Profession: Waitress at Shogun Sushi



Bio & Personality: Stella is best described as polite, witty, learned, and courteous though at times private and even outright distant. She was born in Tokyo on February of nineteen sixty-three to an American father and a Japanese mother, her father Roger was a veteran of the Second World War and nearly twice her mother’s age. Stella and her mother Sakai lived in poverty and when Stella was four her mother wrote to Roger who had moved back to America and was now living in Delta City, appealing that he help get Stella to the United States.

Stella’s father would help get both Stella and her mother to the United States though he refused to take them in and continue his relationship with Sakai as he had an American wife and children. Sakai spent the next twelve years working long hours at two different jobs to provide for herself and her daughter. When Stella was sixteen her mother died of a stroke from chronic stress and high blood pressure. Roger immediately after reached out to his estranged daughter and offered to let her stay with him and his wife to which the young and embittered Stella swallowed her pride and agreed to. While Roger worked to accommodate and help his daughter his wife cared little for Stella who was after all a product of Roger’s infidelity while he was stationed in Japan. She made life miserable for Stella in every little way she could and she and her husband fought frequently over the next two years. At eighteen when Stella graduated high school her grades were too poor for scholarships to pay for college. Roger offered to help pay for Stella’s schooling despite the outrageous protests from Roger’s wife.

In nineteen eighty-one Stella left Delta City for the upper east coast where she would study at a liberal arts college. She made several friends and was introduced to rock music along the lines of AC/DC, Kiss, Aerosmith, and Led Zeppelin and also took a liking to The Beach Boys, a surf band. Marijuana and alcohol also a new aspect to her life and before long the young student began to slowly neglect her studies and instead became more interested in a fast life of partying. She also frequented rallies against government activity and meddling in foreign countries as well as various civil rights protests on campus as well as off.

In the spring of nineteen eighty-three Roger would die in a car accident at the age of fifty-eight, the autopsy report later saying his accident was caused by a heart attack while at the wheel. Stella returned home for the funeral, her father’s will leaving her little as most of his possessions and money went to his wife and their two sons. Depressed, disoriented, and dissatisfied with her waning performance at school Stella dropped out of college and moved into a small apartment back in Delta City leaving her unfinished studies behind. She would spend the next few years bouncing between jobs ranging from cafe waitress to clerk with her inheritance and leftover college money on the side keeping her afloat. All the while maintaining her interest in select literature and studies - and drug habits - on the side.

Despite the rough ride that life has been so far Stella has for the most part kept her spirit and maintained a healthy optimistic persona. While sometimes seemingly disconnected or even cold she is loyal to the few friends she has and reminds herself that she has the potential to make life better, even after her stumbles. Still her struggles do wear her down at times and she descends into alcohol and drug abuse in spurts as a last “therapeutic front”. This has often lead her to keeping questionable company in recent years. Paired with her persuasive persona Stella has also at times shown to be somewhat flirtatious though typically just as a last ditch attempt when her charisma come short of necessary outcome.

Recent History: As of two months ago Stella began working at Shogun Sushi as a waitress. The pay is decent enough that she can afford rent and other expenses though just barely, leaving little money for any sort of extra luxury or treat. She also recently ended a long term relationship with her now ex-boyfriend due to abuse both verbal and physical. Her drug usage hasn’t picked up in a while but that is mostly due to how tight her funds are at the moment.

In her spare time she has been taking to the gym, Mandarin Park, and the library when she can. For now she is simply trying to maintain a certain stability while
Focusing on saving what little money she can for her future, whatever it may hold.

PROFILE

When Artemisia first awoke on the operating table she had no recollection of who she was, no memories to reach for, and no sense of identity or belonging. Restrained and in an agonizing pain she found that her arms and legs had been replaced at the elbows and knees with cybernetic limbs. Her insides throbbed, her head pounded like a drum, and her muscles burned with every slight movement. Less than an hour after her awakening the scientists came, six men in white lab coats who had been ogling at her from behind cameras and one way windows.

Their message was clear and precise; “you are a weapon.” According to the scientists Artemisia was a willing subject for a privately sponsored project, it’s goal to create the perfect cyborg. Faster, stronger, more precise, and more calculating than any mere mortal. Artemisia of course is not her real name, her entire identity lost to her during the traumatic experience of the operation and adaption to her new cybernetics. The scientists only stated that she was former law enforcement and was in a severe accident that cost her both legs and left one of her arms mangled beyond healing, as well as rendered other serious injuries. She was approached by a man who made her the offer - laying out all the details as to what she would become and what her new purpose would be. Rather than live life handicapped and barely functional Artemisia - or rather whom she was before - took the offer.

She was declared dead and a casket containing a cadaver was buried in a false grave and thus the cyborg enforcer Artemisia was born. Heavily armed, dangerous, and obedient to her new directors she serves as a vigilante punisher, tasked with taking down corrupt organizations, powerful criminal syndicates, and rogue agencies when ordered. She has no past or other life, only the future her superiors seek to build. A future that transcends elected officials, governments, and nations.

ABILITIES

CYBERNETICS | SUPER STRENGTH

Her cybernetic arms and legs have given Artemisia increased strength beyond that of normal people, easily capable of snapping someone’s arm or - with enough exertion - pulling it off. Likewise she can deliver devastating punches and kicks. Due to the amount of strength in her cybernetic legs she can leap up to twenty feet and likewise run faster than the average human being.

Artemisia’s torso, shoulders, cranium, and forehead are protected by metallic plates beneath the skin that can deflect small arms fire and most any melee attacks.

---

---

WEAPON(S)

While her super strength and armor plated form alone make Artemisia a force to be reckoned with she prefers to remain armed with a pair of .45 ACP pistols. Artemisia is an adept markswoman with almost uncanny depth perception and a steady aim under pressure.

VASHTI YINRO

Art by ARTAiR

Vashti Yinro | Female | Age 25

---

---

Human-Au’Tori Hybrid

---

---

Combat Engineer & Tech Specialist

---

---

Physical Description

A hybrid of a Human and Au’tori union, Vashti exhibits physical traits of both species. Her most telling features are her pointed ears and her height, standing exactly six feet tall (unusual for most human women). Both are traits inherited from her Au’tori father. Her skin and hair however are far darker than any pure blood Au’Tori who by rule have pearlescent white flesh and lighter hair colors ranging from a medium blonde to a “snow white” equivalent to their skin.

One might call Vashti’s physique “chiseled”. Her body while not brutish is lean in build, her arms and back riveted by cords of muscle from a lifetime of living as a rogue and fending for herself. Vashti’s graceful form is heavily marked with tattoos particularly on her arms, back, and abdomen. Most of her tattoos are purely for a personal aesthetic style while some carry meanings in their own which of course she keeps to herself.

Her visage is more like that of an Au’Tori; a narrow sharp chin, a shapely jaw, and prominent cheekbones. Her eyes are a capturing ice blue and when paired with her tight-lipped resting face gives her otherwise impish face a no-nonsense severity.

---

---

Personality Description

Vashti is often described as confident, independent, and at times aggressive. She is not without whimsy or bouts of humor, rarely missing an opportunity to make a sarcastic quip or joke. She is loyal by nature to both partners and employers though she believes in keeping things professional, often diverting from any possibility of an extended relationship of any kind beyond business.

Goals

For the most part Vashti is just looking to get by, to make a living and secure a comfortable future for herself in the decades to come. This free range plan for life has lead her to a very loose attitude regarding work and methods of self-sufficiency thus giving her a resume of various “pursuits” over the years. This includes smuggling, cybercrime, drug dealing, and even lifeform trafficking. When an opportunity arises she takes it without second thought, all for the bank.

NOROVAH T’ZANA

ASARI | ADEPT | AGE; 310

---

BACKGROUND

Norovah T’zana was born on Illium in 2453 GSY (1874 CE) to an asari and a turian male, her father a security consultant and former turian military and her mother a stockbroker in Nos Astra. 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.

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.

WEAPONS AND EQUIPMENT

M-9 Tempest (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.

---

---

M-3 Predator (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.

---

---

M-92 Mantis (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.

---

---

Serrice Council Armor (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.
