However, she passed everything they through at her, wanting to prove everyone wrong about her 'pure blood' status. Because of her youth, (By Asari Standards) There isn't much more to tell about her life.
She can either be a complete bitch, or one of the best companions you ever have, whichever of the two she is, depends entirely on first impressions, if you give a bad one, she is very uncooperative. Its hard to change from a bad impression to a good one, but is very easy to do the opposite.

Name: Tara T’Lura

Age: 104

Species: Asari

*Combat Ability: She’s never handled a gun before.

She has blue eyes, and is rather lightly built, due to her not having much military/physical training.

***Job/Career if applicable: Third Assisting Doctor on board the Moon Shade

Biography: [REPLAYING LOG 1169//BEGIN] (Voice starts speaking) Its been two weeks since I finished third class medical training. Three years, they just seemed to go. Mother would be proud… I guess so, if she was here anyway… And Dad, well... Salarians don't live that long... But lets not get depressed! Its pretty amazing how fast Doctors, or well assistant Doctors can get jobs out here. Its for this new ship the ‘Moon Shade’. Mixed species ship, but I heard there are going to be Asari Commando’s. Maybe one or two might’ve known mum. I doubt it but… Here’s hoping. Anyway, this will probably be my last log for a while, or well, until I get on board the ‘Moon Shade’. The girls are probably going to throw a surprise party, like they did when I got out of Medical Training… They want any excuse to go for a drink, I’m telling you. [LOG 1169 CLOSED]

†††Training: Medical Training, or Third Class Medical training wasn’t really that hard. It was mostly just work experience at local Hospitals, exams, like university, if you wanted to call it that. Average work hours… And there was a lot of free time after an exam week. All in all, it wasn’t really hard. Hate to see what those Commando’s… Like Mum used to be… Had to go through.

Name: Ineesha Vas Yaska

Species: Quarian

Gender: Female

•Class: Infiltrator

*Tech Ability: She is, as many would call, the master of unlocking. Ineesha is great at unlocking doors of most any kind, and has learned a thing or two about hacking. Hacking, though, is not her strongest of suits.

*Combat Ability: Being raised on a gunship, Ineesha most definitely knows her way around a gun. She prefers getting up close in personal with her M-300 Claymore, but when need be, she can pull out her M-15 Vindicator for a ranged battle.

**Appearance description.

††Equipment specialization:Assault rifles
M-15 Vindicator


***Job/Career if applicable: A vigilante on Omega

Biography: Ineesha grew up on the gunship Yaska. She was taught the intricacies of firearms, and grew very fond of close quarters combat. She left on her pilgrimage to go live on the Citadel, but soon became weary of the uniform life she led there, not to mention she was annoyed by the anti-quarian bigotry she was constantly met with. She made the decision to go to Omega, where at least every species would be treated without respect. After attempting to lead a normal life on Omega for a few months, she simply couldn't take the pure lawlessness of the area. Armed with some weapons she acquired from a black market dealer, she started working for the more innocent population of the asteroid-turned-space station. She soon became proficient in getting where she needed to go (unlocking doors) and being able to obtain information for more complicated, planned out cases.

†††Training: The majority of Ineesha's combat training was learned as she grew up. She was taught how to handle most any firearm (however she enjoys, and is most comfortable with, shotguns and assault rifles). She got most of her training in door hacking (and other basic terminal hacking) simply from experience, and training from contacts she found on the job.

Job N7 Operative, Undercover Operations

Side If you need help, and are injured, he will help. No matter the consequence. He is Alliance Military. Personality reports confirmed.

Biography Earth born. Intelligent. Went through an accelerated college program. Wrote his doctoral thesis on Biotics and the potential it holds for humanity as a species. Graduated, enlisted, went through the Alliance, was promoted once before going to the villa. He grew up on the streets of earth. No parents. He survived on his own. His record is clean; he’s never been arrested or charged with any crime.

Training Interplanetary Combatives Training (ICT) is the Systems Alliance's premier school for leadership and combat expertise. The Interplanetary Combatives Academy, sometimes called "N-School" or "the villa," recruits officers from every branch of Earth's militaries to partake in grueling courses at Vila Militar in Rio de Janeiro.
Initially, candidates train for more than 20 hours per day, leading small combat teams through hostile terrain with little sleep or food. Trainees who do well are awarded an internal designation of N1 and are invited to return. Subsequent courses - N2 through N6 - are often held off-planet and include instruction in zero-G combat, military free-fall (parachuting), jetpack flight, combat diving, combat instruction, linguistics, and frontline trauma care for human and alien biology.

The highest grade of training, N6, provides actual combat experience in combat zones throughout the galaxy. If the trainee survives these scenarios in "admirable and effective fashion," he or she finally receives the coveted N7 designation. N7 is the only ICT designation that may be worn on field or dress uniforms.

There is little shame in failing an N course - the training is so extreme that even qualifying for N1 elevates an officer to a position of respect. The universal prestige of merely attending the academy helps to restrain trainees from taking excessive risks in pursuit of higher honors.

Although ICT qualification by itself does not guarantee higher rank, those officers who are able to complete the program are typically well suited to senior leadership positions. N7: Graduated from the Interplanetary Combatives Training (ICT) program



According to the Alliance Database.
Alliance Database: He can access programs that hack, but cannot do anything more than Hack a door open, or salvage data.
Based on Combat performance : combat ability is Biotic based.

He’s an expert Marksman when it comes to pistols, and the Mattock, outside of these he has trouble and it is not recommended he be given anything but.


His training under the Chinese Monk was to help bring back his memory. After a failed mission that left his memory shattered. They found that as his biotic skills increased he remembered more from before the incident when he lost his memory. His amnesia has not affected his work ability. Moreover his biotic ability still more than most biotics in the Alliance Military.

Job/Career: Criminal/Mercenary on Omega

Biography: Born on Omega, Kessle was raised in extreme poverty. Often he and his family had to resort to theft and other criminal activities to keep themselves fed. When he was about 14, his parents and older brother were killed by crossfire during a gang shootout. Alone, he had to use what skills he had learned to keep himself alive. He became became proficient with a pistol and knife in order to protect himself. He soon picked up with a small gang of thieves, mercenaries, and drug dealers who called themselves the Red Rings. Three years later, Kessle and about seven of his friends were hanging out in the one or two block area of Slums controlled by the Red Rings, when they were confronted by members of the Blue Suns. There was a brief skirmish, and all but one of the Blue Suns were killed. After the survivors fled, Kessle helped himself to the Armor and Weapons of one of the fallen Mercenaries. The Blue Suns quickly returned, this time with an offer of peace. The Red Rings agreed, and were made part of the Blue Suns, gaining access to better weapons and gear, many allies, more higher-paying jobs, and more areas where they could be safe in exchange for influence over the few blocks of Slum they inhabited. It was a very good deal for the Red Rings. Now, Kessle works Capture, Assassination, and Protection jobs for the Blue Suns.

Biography: Life has had… A shaky star, for our little Krogan friend here. Firstly, he was a baby Krogan. And that’s an achievement in itself for Krogan, since the Genophage… Incident. His mother, one of the weaker of the Females, was originally thought to be infertile, until un-expectantly, she became Pregnant, and soon gave birth to our little friend here. His mother should never have been able to give birth to a child, even the Krogan knew that. But well, Salarians are curious lizard-people. So, what do they do? They know… Quite a lot of things. In fear of that something may be happening, a Salarian STG team was deployed, and our friend here, was whisked away. They didn’t even bother to ask his name. Not that he could speak, or do much anyway. Unlucky Salarians, however, bumped into a Merc ship. Batarian one, probably detached from the Blue Suns or something. Unexpecting, the Salarians managed to hold off from the Batarians for a while, but sometimes, skill doesn’t cut it and numbers, numbers won. Our friend here, lucky enough only ever got examined, nothing plugged in or taken out, and well, that’s good right? But now he’s stuck in a supply crate on a Batarian Merc Ship.

Yeah, the Salarians definitely had more respect…

He also has a habbit of headbutting things, and bites, alot. As well as hitting the floor, and making 'dinosaur' like sounds.

He's a noisy baby...

Job STG operative, Works with N7 Operatives, Undercover Operations

Side N/A

Biography Born on Sur'kesh. Intelligent. Graduated from the highest level of learning at 13. Specialized in xenosciecne and medicine. Eventually became an STG operative. Has run into Nicholas Umbrulus a few times. Liked him. Joined up with him a few times. He now officially works with N7 and STG jointly. He's fast on his feet, and clever.

Training: STG

The STG form a large part of the salarian military due to their heavy focus on gathering intelligence before making a move. They are used to monitor "developing situations" because they tend to attract less attention than more prominent figures, such as Spectres. This also allows them to quietly "handle" troublesome individuals. STG operators are brutally practical, devoted to accomplishing their mission regardless of the cost involved to others or themselves. Regardless, STG operators are highly flexible, accustomed to carrying out their missions on shoestring resources and changing their tactics when necessary.

The Special Tasks Group (STG) is a salarian espionage organization, usually deployed by the Citadel Council. STG operators work in independent cells, performing dangerous missions such as counterterrorism, infiltration, reconnaissance, assassination, and sabotage. They are currently very active in the Terminus Systems.

Training similar to the League of One.

Appearance (Description): Brown Scales with some having darker brown around the edges, almost glowing purple eyes, dark orange face paint (As soon as I figure out a design of the face paint I want, I’ll edit it in), yellowy-brown skin. He stands at about 185cm.

Job/Career: Second Captain, serving on board the Talon of the Moon.
Association: Turian Military


Biography: Errinus was born into what can be considered a ‘military lacking family’. His brother, other than members of his family he has yet to learn about yet, is the only one to have served in the Turian Military. His brother is also the reason he has yet to earn his own ship… But that’s spoilers. And spoilers are always bad, right? Errinus joined the Military at the youngest age possible, and began training just as his Brother went into actual front line serving. He didn’t focus much on making friends, getting to know people, because Errinus had it all planned out. He’d finish training, spend a few years on the front line, then get command of his own ship. But that didn’t work out. He passed training, and began to serve on board the Talon of the Moon.
He reached Second Captain, and the First Captain, who was retiring within a year, gave permission for Errinus to begin training for the First Captain position. This was also the year that his brother, Monta, killed his squad, and was declared M.I.A. Everyone knew what had happened. His brothers squad had been deployed to attack a Blue Suns base… And Monta, seeing the opportunity to make money, and all sorts, swapped sides. This meant, all though many, many excuses were made up by higher ups, Errinus would never be able to reach First Captain, unless he did something to overshadow his brothers… Betrayal. And to this day, he has yet to.

Training: Firstly, Errinus first sort of training was at around the age of fifteen, when his brother was on leave from the Military for a year. He spent that year working on shuttles, and such, with his brother had managed to burrow from some of his ‘friends’. Then, the year after he joined the Military, and began actual Military training. Firing guns, the expected stuff. After passing test after test after test after test! Zocalus was taken into ‘CATT’ (Commanding and Tactics Training). This was his last two years of training before eventually being deployed to the front line, or well, a ship.
