- Age: 27
- Force Sensitivity: None
- Species: Human
- Appearance:
- A striking yet approachable beauty rooted in her Eastern Atrisian heritage, marked by smooth, milky-pale skin that seems to catch and softly reflect light, giving her an almost luminous quality even in everyday settings. Her build is softly athletic lightly muscled from an active lifestyle rather than rigorous training blending strength with generous, feminine curves that emphasize a full bust, rounded hips, and a defined yet comfortable waistline.
Her hair falls in a neatly trimmed, shoulder-length bob cut, dark brown verging on black, with a subtle natural shine that frames her face cleanly. The style is practical and low-maintenance, with straight lines that accentuate her delicate bone structure: high cheekbones, a small, refined nose, and a gentle heart-shaped face. Her eyes are deep and expressive, a rich dark brown that can appear nearly black in dim light, often carrying a quiet intensity or warmth depending on her mood. Full lips curve into easy, genuine smiles, revealing straight white teeth, while her carefully maintained hands show slender fingers

- Name: Ahri Tanaka Aphra
- Loyalties:
Junko Ike
and Atrisia - Wealth: Rich but comfortable from artifact sales legalized through Commonwealth channels, research grants and occasional consulting fees for xeno-tech analysis. She lives frugally in the field but invests in better equipment and droid support.
- Notable Possessions:
- Skills:
- Expert field archaeologist: Skilled in excavation techniques, artifact preservation, epigraphy (deciphering ancient scripts), and hazard assessment in ruins (traps, unstable structures, environmental dangers).
- Talented gymnast and agile climber: Uses acrobatics for navigating tight tomb passages, scaling cliffs, or evading hazards.
- Physically fit with excellent endurance for long expeditions.
- Academic expertise: Deep knowledge of Atrisian history, imperial dynasties, xeno-technologies from pre-Republic artifacts, and comparative galactic cultures.
- Basic tech-slicing and interface use.
- Observant and analytical: Excellent at pattern recognition, piecing together fragmented historical records, and hypothesizing cultural contexts.
- Languages: Basic, Atrisian
- Personality: Ahri is earnest, intellectually curious, and fundamentally kind-hearted she genuinely wants to preserve history for future generations and often shares knowledge freely with those who show interest. However, her serious, matter-of-fact tone and tendency toward blunt corrections can come across as condescending or know-it-all. She masks insecurity about social cues with dry humor or deflection, but she's quick to apologize when she realizes she's hurt someone. Deep down, she's introspective and a bit lonely; prolonged isolation in the field suits her because people are unpredictable compared to ancient puzzles. She's loyal to a fault once trust is earned but slow to form new bonds.
- Weapon of Choice: Running time, her primary weapon is running away... then self-defense classes at the Jar'kai gym
- Combat Function: Largely a non-combative but at best if fought able to defend herself like one trained in a self-defense class.
- Force Abilities: N/A
- Exceptional Stamina & Field Resilience: Years of trekking through harsh terrains, enduring long digs, and outrunning dangers have built remarkable physical endurance she can maintain high output for days with minimal rest, carry heavy gear, and recover quickly from exertion.
- Brilliant Scholar & Quick Learner: One of the top graduates from the University of Jar'Kai, with an accelerated degree in ancient cultures and xeno-technologies. Her mind excels at synthesis: connecting disparate artifacts to broader historical narratives, decoding forgotten languages, and adapting to new discoveries on the fly.
- Resourceful Problem-Solver: In the field, she improvises solutions with limited tools rigging traps to avoid them, using environmental features for escape, or jury-rigging tech with her interface implants.
- Specialized Equipment/Augmentations: Arhi's extensive implants grant her physical and defensive capabilities in PvP encounters. The Organic Shielding Implant provides a full-body personal shield. Combined with the Zenkai Implant Package, she gains dramatically enhanced muscle density and strength, Beskar-level bone durability, sub-dermal armor resistant to blades/shrapnel/energy, ultra-fast reaction times and movement tracking via advanced nerve sheaths and multi-spectral Hawkeye vision, rapid wound clotting/healing (amplified by efficient bacta/biofoam processing and toxin-to-stim conversion), near-immunity to environmental extremes/toxins/stuns, and extended vacuum/high-pressure survival. These augmentations make her exceptionally hard to kill or disable, allow sustained peak performance without fatigue, and enable superior close-quarters adaptability, speed, and resilience against physical and energy-based assaults.
- Socially Clueless / Blunt to a Fault: Her academic focus makes her oblivious to social subtleties she'll correct someone mid-conversation without realizing it's rude, lecture on minutiae when others want brevity, or miss flirtation/sarcasm entirely. This alienates colleagues and can turn allies into resentful former assistants.
- Non-Combative & Conflict-Averse: Despite fitness and self-defense training, she dislikes direct violence freezing momentarily or defaulting to flight over fight. She relies heavily on escape, terrain knowledge, or allies rather than standing ground.
- Over-Reliance on Intellect & Preparation: In unpredictable social or crisis situations, she struggles without time to research/analyze leading to hesitation or poor improvisation outside her expertise.
- Augmentation Overload Vulnerability: Arhi's implants grant exceptional resilience and performance, but they come with critical trade-offs in sustained or high-intensity combat. Ion/EMP weapons can overload her personal shielding. Additionally, severe damage triggers massive metabolic drain as the self-repair systems consume her caloric reserves at an accelerated rate, causing rapid physical exhaustion, muscle fatigue, and vulnerability to follow-up attacks if she pushes beyond short bursts of peak output. Prolonged fights or repeated heavy hits risk cascading failures, painful feedback, or forced shutdown of non-essential augmentations until she can recover and refuel.
Ahri was born on Atrisia's colony world of Sakura.... a few years before the first major occurrence of the Sakuran empire forming. She got a chance to come to Atrisia and went to the university of Jar'kai... a massive school that was being built up during the Jishi era and sponsored by the Atrisian princess. She met Junko there and it was... quite a time. Likewise, she was possibly in love but the princess was like water... there and going about herself... unholdable for a long time but she was never cruel about it. Furthermore, she doted on aanyone who she was with... she cared for all of them and most seemed to have become her handmaidens... robed women that were standing aaround her and acting like body doubles if needed Ahri saw one night so that she and Junko could go to one of the old tombs of a former emperor and explore it.
Their tryst was not to last as after a few years of it being on again and off again. Ahri went out for her final dissertation. Taking the time to best study one of the oldest tombs on Atrisia that had been found by Junko related to the Amber Empress and the palace of roses. Deep in the mountains she was escorted and protected by Gan Ou Hanzo a wandering general who aided in the war itself for the emperor. A strange thing but she later learned that while Junko might not be with her she did care and did try and protect her. Sending the general to aid and protect her in her travels helped as Gan Ou largely wandered around regardless but she would answer the call of the royal family should it be needed. She was grateful and would keep with that for the next few years.
The years went on and she went from main site to main site for the Atrisian government and finding her way to a strange and mysterious island. Her research team the largest she had managed to get before but the circumstances of it pointed to a massive continental shift.... but less tectonic activity. Ahri and her team continued working on much of the ruins there... massive temples, caves systems and forests that were old but built on the island that seemed massive. She was happy to be there and sent her reports as directed until something happened and
Shoma Ike
and
Junko Ike
were sent to find her after she and her research team disappeared. Shoma being sent but the secretary of the crown and asking Junko to come and help given her history with Ahri.Their adventures had been something far from unexpected... Junko and Shoma were siblings but vastly different in many of their aspects. Shoma was practical and she could talk research with him... but Junko was... well Junko was Junko and she had disguised herself and her brother to infiltrate the sith remnants who had kidnapped and taken her team as servants. They managed to rescue her and she came back to Atrisia. Junko revealing to her a shiny new research vessel that she would be able to take into the field and use for the Commonwealth. her work with Miyoung being impressive in getting them a number of new things from ancient technologies that they managed to recover. Ahri gave plenty and continued as they worked to establish the breakwater and more advancements so that by the time of the twelfth battle of Atrisia she was there.
Along with Junko and many as Jar'kai was singled out allowing many of the reinforcements to arrive from the other cities and more to reinforce the redundancy systems of the planet. Ahri moved through the streets with the other handmaidens who were there to fight. Miyoung using her systems and defenses of the city smartly for the time as afterwards she let loose several waves of reinforcements, upgrades and improvements to the city... Then with Ahri's help they were distributing them to the rest of the planets cities, villages and platforms. Ahri being able to go out and research more of what she wanted to look at with her ship that had managed to survive while taking Junko or the others as needed. The advanced ideas and engineering she wanted benefitted from the researcher while she continued to stay around in the new palace of the hidden.
