Mass Effect: Stories of the Soldiers

The man stood rigid against the wall, his eyes were wide and Lysia could see his hands were trembling, he was terrified and with good reason. Lysia resisted the urge to roll her eyes, it was idiots like this man that were after all keeping her in business, and waited calmly.
It wasn't long before the man started babbling, promising to get the money and that he just needed more time, it was the same shit that they all said and she listened with only half an ear keeping most of her attention on her surroundings, it wouldn't do to have C Sec interrupt their little chat. She allowed the man to babble on for a minute longer before she casually raised one hand with the telltale energy of her biotics coalescing around it. He looked at it then at her and stopped talking abruptly.

"You are past due Carl. I've been sent to remind you of this." She spoke calmly as though she were talking about the weather but no one would miss the undercurrent of violence in her words.

"Please, just give me a little more time." Carl pleaded almost crying now. "I'll get the money I swear."

Lysia stepped towards him her movements casual but intent, Carl cowered back knowing what was coming next. Lysia had to bite back a growl of disgust as she prepared to rough him up a little. This was what she had been reduced to, collecting debts for gangs that operated in the Ward, gods how she hated it. She raised her fist and it was then that her Omni tool chirped and glancing at it she saw the reminder she had set earlier. She lowered her fist and smiled at Carl flashing her teeth.

"This is your lucky day Carl, I've somewhere more important to be." She leaned in close and the man stared at her half in fear and half in fascination. "Don't make me come back here, if you do I'll be cranky and you wouldn't like that. Now get out of here before I change my mind."

Carl hesitated for a moment before his survival instincts kicked in and he hightailed it away from her and disappeared into one of the alleys intertwining through the Ward. Lysia turned and headed towards the other end of the Ward where her destination was and hopefully her contact. Whilst walking she contacted her current employer via her Omni tool and closed the deal, explaining that she believed Carl would now pay up and to contact her again if he didn't. Her employer was satisfied, as he knew well how effective Lysia was, and wired the funds to her account. That settled she walked into the bar and glanced around taking it all in. She nodded to the bouncer, a Krogan, and walked into the bar proper. Several dancers were artfully mesmerizing a group of men, the Asari movements as graceful as always, and a game in one corner was just breaking up. She spotted the table she wanted immediately, two others already sat there and both looked like specialists as she assumed did she, though her biotics were her main weapon she still carried her pistol and SMG and was fully armored.

She walked up to the table and saw the Quarian offer the Turian some sort of fried food, Lysia looked at it in revulsion before nodding at the two of them and then taking the empty seat.

"A Quarian, A Turian and an Asari walk into a bar..." She said dryly. "I wonder how it ends?"

Mass Effect: Stories of the Soldiers

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: i129.photobucket.com/albums/p219/flatl..

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.

Furie

"You sure you wanna mess with me darlin?"

Name
Faith Elise Mackenzie
Codename
Furie
Age
28
Gender
Female
Sexuality
Heterosexual
Nationality
American but born in Scotland



Height
5"8
Weight
122lbs
Hair Color
Blonde
Eye Colour
Green
Appearance
Faith is a slender woman with just enough weight for her to not be considered skin and bone. Combine that with her vivid green eyes and delicate facial features and you have a very pretty appearance. She has the sort of sweet features that would make you think she is sweet, and gentle. She has blonde hair worn in long ringlets past her shoulder blades and pale skin with just a hint of the sun. Her style, when not working, she wears long flowing skirts, baggy or ripped vests and shawls. She has also been seen in bohemian style maxi dresses and is never without her favorite pair of faded brown cowboy boots. She likes big belts and wears multiple necklaces and silver rings. Her "work" attire is a lot simpler being all in one leather (see link for costume, though Faith's is dark red rather than black and the mask is also dark red) http://d1fgn7wex1bhjn.cloudfront.net/assets/tarantulaV2/embedded_images/1355306870_rose9595xmen.jpg
http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-thing?.out=jpg&size=l&tid=66948844



Personality
Faith is blunt and abrasive, she says what she thinks and doesn't try and soften it no matter what the subject. She has a chip on her shoulder the size of England and generally switches between being angry or numb with nothing in between. She is prickly, defensive and downright impossible to get to know. She has a nasty temper and it doesn't take much to set it off. Yet even with all this you would still want her on your side in a fight, she will fight to the bitter end with a recklessness that suggests she doesn't care about her own life. She is not suicidal, just likes living on the edge. She's an adrenaline junkie and this makes her reckless.

She cares for very little other than herself and has no compunction about killing those who get in her way or make her angry. She sees people as things to be used and then discarded and will quite happily do so. She does have a sense of loyalty though and won't shit in her own back yard (as she describes it) meaning that she won't stab those she works with in the back unless they piss her off. She might have been a kind, sweet person once but her parents put paid to that. Perhaps the only remnant of the girl she was before manifesting her ability is her fondness for animals and nature. Although this could also be due to her connection to the Earth through the Ley Lines.

She is very good at insulting people without cussing and will often use endearments (darlin, honey etc) even when angry or insulting someone. This is clearly her way of patronizing them.



Powers
Faith is a genuine witch and her particular specialty is Ley Lines, she can tap into these lines of power and do various things:

Energy Blasts: Hurling pure Ley Line energy at something.
Telekinesis: Using the energy to move things with her mind.
Energy Constructs: Create things from the energy to fight with/for her.
Energy Shield: Can use the energy to shield her from harm.
Astral Projection: Her mind can leave her body.
Transmutation: Can travel through the Ley Lines.

Equipment
Pair of Sai - Main weapons when out of Ley Line Range
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/81bUcY5txtL._UL1500_.jpg
Tanto - Last resort kept in a thigh sheath
http://www.swordsknivesanddaggers.com/swords/swords-ryumon-samurai-hand-forged-tanto-ry-3045-d.jpg

Strengths
Sai combat - Proficient with Sai.
Tanto combat - Proficient with the Tanto blade.
Magic Knowledge - Well versed on magic, the occult and Witchcraft.
Observant - Skilled at reading others body language, Facial expressions and Tone of voice.
Acting - Able to play a persona (sweet innocent girl mainly, uses to talk her way out of trouble)

Weaknesses
Leyline Locations: Whilst these are criscrossed all over the world they are not everywhere and some are weaker than others. Depending on her location Faith can be rendered completely powerless if lacking a line to draw from, or weaker if the line is not very strong.
Temper: Faith has a very short temper and can often go into a rage in the middle of a fight, this makes her very unpredictable.
Physically Normal: Faith can be injured or killed as easily as the next person, if her powers or combat fail her then she is as good as dead. Same goes for her speed, agility and senses.
Reckless: She will often run into danger just for the hell of it even if its more than she can handle.
Overload: If Faith draws too much power at once or uses it for too long it will incapacitate her.
Religion - Faith is terrified of churches, crosses and those who work for the church (nuns, priests etc) and she will not go anywhere near them if she can help it.


History
Faith was born in the north of Scotland in a remote village community, her father was the priest of the local church and her mother a housewife. She grew up in a very strict household as her father had a high standard for what he considered good Christian behavior and expected his family to adhere to his rules. They were allowed no television or modern books or magazines as he believed they were a bad influence and they were expected to pray every day and read from the bible every evening. Faith had no friends growing up as her parents believed they were a bad influence and the local kids thought she was stuck up and shunned her. Despite all this Faith loved her parents and accepted her lifestyle as proper and correct.

When she was ten she began to experience odd sensations, bursts of energy where she felt as though she had electricity under her skin, these grew until one day without realizing she drew upon the energies of a ley line. Ley lines covered the Earth and the rectory where she lived happened to be on top of one of them. Unknown to her or her parents she was a descendant of a Ley Line Witch (Her maternal Great grandmother) and could not help but reach out for one when her abilities first blossomed. Luckily at her young age she could not draw the full amount that she would be able to when she is older but it was enough to cause her to violently throw everything around her against the walls. Furniture and her shocked parents were literally slammed against the wall by the force and were held there by the energy coming from their daughter. It lasted for only a few minutes but it changed Faith's life forever, her parents had always been particularly zealous in their beliefs and this only worsened after what had happened.

They believed she was possessed and did everything they could to cleanse her soul, she received beatings and was locked in a dark room and starved regularly. They attempted to exorcise her on several occasions and all of this torment badly scarred Faith to the point where she began to believe what they told her. Things reached boiling point when she turned twelve and had suffered her parents misguided attempts to "cure" her for two years. As they were dragging her towards the dark room, which she feared more than anything else, her mind snapped and she drew on the ley line again. She drew enough power this time to hurl the power directly and both her parents were hit with the energy blasts. Her mother died moments after Faith collapsed and her father died in the hospital after he had told authorities that Faith had attacked them. She was sent to a juvenile detention centre where she lived until she turned eighteen.

After she was released she roamed aimlessly, using her power to get what she wanted and killing those who stood in her way. The abuse and incarceration had destroyed the innocent little girl and replaced it with an angry sociopath who believed herself to be evil. After a year of travelling she met another witch, an American/Japanese woman called Maya, who she recklessly tried to kill. Maya nearly killed her but stopped just before doing so, she later said she saw herself in Faith, Maya taught her the art of combat with various Japanese blades and how to master her abilities. Maya herself, was a Demon Witch and sold her talents to the highest bidder.

They ended up in New Orleans where Faith used her talents to earn money, conning tourists and performing jobs for the locals, creating charms and casting spells etc. Whilst Maya travelled the world Faith was content to milk New Orleans for all it was worth. She liked the town with its old world feel and its undercurrent of violence and mystique. Faith had been living with Maya in New Orleans for eight years when Maya sold Faith out to the authorities, Faith still has no idea why. After living with Maya for so long Faith had made the mistake of letting her guard down and the team of black ops that Maya had allowed in took her unawares though not without a fight. Expecting death, she was a mass murderer after all, she was surprised when she taken to a facility and injected with nanobots and then stuck in a cell.

Other
Maya - Maya is reasonably well known in criminal circles as someone not to mess with. Project Rehab originally wanted her but Maya was protected by her very powerful family who were Yakuza. Faith has a score to settle with her and will not rest until she's killed Maya.
Heritage: Faith comes from a line of witches going back to Salem, this often skips several generations.
Accent - Faith speaks with an odd mix of New Orleans twang and a Scottish lilt.
