Tahu Ksi'ukh Yama'ate
”If it wasn’t for the fact the entire place is doomed and the smell, I could call this paradise.”

The Biography

Birth Name: Tahu Ksi'ukh Yama'at
Aliases: Yama
Gender: Female
Age: 20 Cycles
Birth Day: 45^939_83
Arcana: Sun
Place of Residence: Titanic Arkship Terramunda

Syan were a race born too late to their galaxy. As they reached for the stars they were guttering, the ruined grave yards of those that had come before littered every system and dying star. Tattered ribbons of reality falling and curling in on itself, life that could leave had done so long ago and those that could not fought over the scraps. Syan grew into spacefarers on an abandoned ringworld segment thrown clear of their ever expanding sun. Using the ruins around them they learned and threw their whole society behind the grand project. Using the salvaged elements of other sections and and hundreds of years they built a great ruined ark and took their limited number on the great search. Collecting ruins, resources, clues as to how to leave after the others that had gone before them before the last of the stars went out.

Tahu took part in the standardised testing at age twelve and was found of moderate intelligence but with unremarkable strengths and allocated to space explorer corps, regular. She would best aid her people by putting her life on the line for it, exploring the unknown. Thus she was trained and dutifully she obeyed, a combination pilot, menial archaeologist and when required soldier.

Evoker: Persona Module

Occupation: (We'll fill this out later.)

Appearance: Externally roughly human, biped, two arms, legs, eyes, sensory organs located around the skull. Tahu specifically has long magenta hair that hangs low on her back, blue eyes and a generally athletic figure. While internal biology is certainly different than human the basics are the same, the average Syan standing slightly shorter than a human and other than their elongated, pointed ears looks suspiciously similar. Tahu is not an exception to this rule standing at 5’5” and other than some unnatural pinkness to her skin even that is pretty human to the touch. Clothing tends towards her space suit when it might be remotely needed and a casual bomber jacket and jeans when not.

Personality: Tahu is rather typical of most of her race, indoctrinated to put the survival of her people above herself. Lacking in the construct of families she doesn’t have any particular attachment except to her friends. Exposed to a wealth of mostly dead aliens cultures she isn’t always the most trusting of living aliens but also doesn’t operate on a shoot first basis either. By human standards she is pretty outgoing and given the current situation seemingly rather relaxed with it all. The driving force is to find a way to get back home and perhaps even more importantly to bring her home here.

Her humor is sarcastically fatalistic, the most common jokes being that you have it worse than everyone else to even the absurd levels beyond a dying galaxy. As long as everyone is getting on with something remotely useful she can be a quite warm and friendly misery guts. Her ire is stoked by those that she suspects really are wasting their time and are harming the progress of their culture. Those observing her relationships with others would likely be able to sum them up as business casual.

Hobbies include puzzles, holography and trying to force computers into self realisation. Acceptable foods are crackers, pickles and peanut butter with much else being revolting.

The Potential

Soulbound Attacks also do Tier 1 bonus damage of an elected element, once selected it can not be changed or removed for the rest of the thread.

Strengths:

—Strength Name: Tomb Raider

((A floating weakness is one gained in RP. It could be a fear you inherited during RP, or an injury that hinders your character. Some can be temporary while others can be permanent. Do not: if you do something stupid that would sensibly get your character screwed, you WILL earn yourself one of these bad boys!)

History:

Tahu Ksi'ukh Yama'at was born and brought up at nursery eight on the shores of the ice sea of the northern continent. Her first memory was learning that a half mile of slagged metal was all that protected everything she knew from being completely destroyed. This did little other than instil the same relationship that death lurks around every corner that all Syan carry with them. Knowing who her parents were was not the same as ever meeting them, they had more important things to do than rear children. Instead she like all others was handled by experts who saw to health, development and education so that she could be as productive as possible. It is expected that those that are a net drain on resources to excuse themselves from existence and there is no greater shame than failing to do so.

There was nothing exceptional about Tahu however, she could not fold the nature of reality to her whim enough to be useful in that field. Nor was she athletically talented, sparked with genius that would thrust her towards the sciences or so charming that she could make a future leader. Instead she was solidly average, capable but not important enough not to risk. So like millions before her she was sent off to the space explorer corps as just another body. If the Syan home galaxy was a party then they arrived as the lights were being turned off and the last pieces of cold pizza were being guilty eyed. It was dying and the resources dwindled more and more with each passing year. Her job was to go out there and find more, minerals, fuel, technology that might help them. Be that by speed, stealth or force, she was expected to lay down her life for the good of those that were more useful. Something she would do willingly, she had friends die, it was a cruel universe but one she was prepared for. She saw the broken ruins of worlds, fought savage aliens and traded with others that were in the same situation as her own race. The pressing doom that if something didn’t change it was all for nothing lingering over it all.

Piloting a scout craft near a huge broken station that had half fallen into a gas giant she picked up unusual energy. A flickering flash later the situation had been injected with an unfamiliar feeling of hope. Something had changed, now she just needed to find a way back and save everything.

First though, a whole new galaxy to save.

You have two options:
1.) Do Tier 1 Pmstr bonus damage of your chosen element. Note this way you won't be able to crit with the bonus attack. This attack can hit or miss separately from the original hit, but won't be counted as a multihit so you won't suffer extra miss rates. (it would be a sort of psychokinetic force following after the weapon itself, more akin to a dance)
2.) Do Tier 1 Dexterity bonus damage of your chosen element. It will also hit and crit automatically if the original attack hits and crits. (it would be an aura around the weapon or a direct infusion of the weapon's nature, more akin to an enhancement)

Also note you cannot take Mutated Elements as your chosen bonus damage.

Quote :: —Strength Name: Psychic Blade
—Description: A user and weapon are one, more so when the blade knows what you are thinking. Luck bonus of 10% with Soulbound attacks.

You can either take a flat bonus of 10% to your Luck regardless of whether you're attacking with Soulbounds, or choose a stronger bonus such as extra hit rate or extra crit rate with your Soulbound.

—Weakness Name: Alien Biology Neg
—Description: Can only be targeted directly buffs, AOE buffs will always miss.

I can't allow these, they are too strong for mere Strengths and Weaknesses. You can change them to reducing the effectiveness of AoE Debuffs and Buffs by 15% instead if you want to.

Regarding your backstory, it seems as though Syan have a sort of disconnect with the potential in its usual sense or that their galaxy became unstable with Anti-Space due to the fact their population was too small to sustain their system's stability. It's just something to think about as well as a character point connecting the race to concepts found within PiS. There's no need to change your backstory as it's good as is.
