Atheema Roenkari
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
Though having lost count of her true years of age, Atheema is much like most other Lirans in that they all seem to be perpetually cheating death. After 27 lifetimes and a ceaseless cycle of the same thing, over and over, Atheema decided that her 28th life would be destined for something more. Hanging up her dedication to the cause of a race that was doomed to go extinct, she set off for the stars to explore the new, unknown, and historically shunned. She began this new life within the Oiran Guild House and trained to become a Companion. From there her journey across the stars under an entirely different pretense began.
After many years, a strange new client came to call to the Guild House. Someone not seeking the orthodox use of its Companions. A young woman by the name of Magdalena Lethe placed a request to use the Companions of the Guild House as the faces of a curious new project under way within an organization known as GUIDE. Atheema was one of the Companions that elected to take the "job" and offer her likeness for recording purposes.
In working with Miss Lethe and coming to learn more about the Mission of GUIDE, Atheema found her curiosities piqued. What should have been an innocent, simple conversation between herself and Miss Lethe turned into a request. That Atheema, whose past experience in the field of research and science, whose people were so fully invested in the betterment of their own, offer her skills and knowledge to GUIDE. It was not an easy opportunity to pass up, but Atheema was bound by rules and regulations to the Guild House.
Instead Miss Lethe approached the Oiran Guild House proprietor and proposed an offer. That the Guild House sponsor GUIDE with an extended contract of Atheema as her personal Companion, to travel with her and provide her skills as necessary. In return the Oiran Guild House would gain Platinum level access to GUIDE systems and their base planets would be the first to receive installation of the GUIDE Terminals once the project was completed. They came to an agreement and Atheema has been traveling with Miss Lethe ever since.
Atheema Roenkari
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
- Intent: To detail an NPC in use within GUIDE that will help develop some of the organization's new tech and gear.
- Image Credit: Mass Effect game screen grab of Liara T'Soni
- Role: Atheema acts as both a mentor and Companion to Magdalena, less in the sense of physical relationship and more in the sense of a moral, emotional support role. She stands as the Coordinator of R&D for GUIDE for the duration of her contract and accompanies Magda on all GUIDE related missions and journeys to help further their goals of connection the people of the galaxy.
- Links: Oiran Guild House, GUIDE
- Age: Atheema is on her 28th incarnation and clone body. This body is roughly 34 years old.
- Force Sensitivity: NFU [species trait]
- Species: Liran
- Appearance: Though the galaxy at large may not be inherently familiar with her people, Atheema is nothing short of a typical Liran in appearance. Blue-skinned, blue-eyed, tall, and fit, the main thing that sets her apart from her Liran sisters is something entirely unseen: her choices. Unlike most other Lirans, Atheema has chosen in this life to retain the organs that were otherwise ruled as being non-essential to her kinds standards. This has, in turn, given her a bit more of a curvacious silhouette as a result of the hormones allowed to freely and naturally act within her body. By human standard Lirans harbor attractive physical qualities, though if asked Atheema would say she was nothing in comparison to her sister. Atheema has a soft and kind appearance to her which belies her intelligence and physical prowess. Her preferred wardrobe consists of whites and greys - formal attire, study attire, or exploration it matters not. She does not take to covering her face in the public eye like her kind is want to do, but given her present-day occupation as a Companion of the Oiran Guild House it matters very little.
- Name: Atheema Roenkari
- Loyalties: Oiran Guild House, GUIDE, Magdalena Lethe
- Wealth: Companions do not often want for many things as they are paid well and cared for by the Guild. Atheema enjoys all ameneties provided to her by GUIDE while on her contract with them.
- Notable Possessions: Nothing of note.
- Skills: As a creature that has lived many lifetimes Atheema has a broad list of skills at her disposal. Primarily she is highly educated and intelligent, typical for her people. She has a particular affinity towards Science and Technology, making her an idea candidate for any team looking to develop and explore new things. As a trained Companion she is artful in the ways of passion and compassion, as well as a skilled linguist, conversationalist, and many other things. Notably Atheema cannot sing and she's not a good shot or much of a fighter.
- Personality: Curious and forward, despite shunning a large part of her people's beliefs and heritage, Atheema finds herself still battling a mindset of over two-dozen lifetimes. She decided upon awakening within her current clone body that this lifetime would be spent challenging her own beliefs where life, love, and the galaxy was concerned. Harboring an incessant need to explore the unknown and find a greater understanding of subjects she would have typically refused, she joined the Oiran Guild House and began her training to become a Companion. The transition wasn't nearly as difficult as she first expected. Learning to show care for others and investing attention into the physical aspects of relationships between people, she discovered that her own kind were missing out on a vast resource of knowledge and understanding. Atheema finds great joy in fullfilling these roles for her clients and forging new friendships along the way. She has grown a deep fondness and concern for her current client, Magdalena Lethe, Founder of GUIDE, and sees a kindship in the young woman who is so passionate about exploration, discovery, and helping others. Level calm and an intuitive mind are how she conducts her affairs, bringing to Magda's team an often missing piece of wisdom and experience that comes with her years.
- Weapon of Choice: Science and knowledge.
- Combat Function: Though athletic and limber, Atheema is not a combatant, a soldier, or a warrior. She is more of a liability on the field against enemies than anything else if Science and Technology cannot help her. Strategy is something she can and does employ, as well as her vast knowledge of many things, but they aren't 100% useful 100% of the time. She can improvise with the best of them and her quick wit isn't to be disregarded.
