The following information is classified. Spectre status required.

PERSONAL HISTORY

In 1975 (Systems Alliance Calendar), an abandoned shuttle was discovered by salarian wildcat miners orbiting the planet Raisaris.

There was nothing left on board but a crib containing a screaming infant asari. The salarians took her in, naming her Dela Raisaris after her unofficial homeworld, and she lived with the family for two salarian generations - over 60 years - and then moved to Illium to work first as a security agent for a transportation firm and eventually as a dancer in one of Nos Astra's many bars.

In 2076, Dela was involved in a [REDACTED] and left Illium with [CLASSIFIED]. They travelled together for half a century, during which time Dela expanded her biotic skills, her impressive piloting ability, learned to fight with a traditional asari sword, and [REDACTED].

After the tragic [REDACTED], Dela became a mercenary/sex worker, travelling all over the galaxy in search of purpose; or failing that (in her own words) 'a good fight or a good lay'.

In 2177, she was working with a small asari mercenary band subcontracted by the Eclipse Mercenary Corporation to fight in the Anhur rebellions against a consortium of batarian and human slavers known as the Na'hesit. When she learned that her companions were planning to switch sides for better pay, Dela assassinated their leader and sabotaged their ship. In exchange for a clean slate, she gave their location to an asari huntress team and traded in her mercenary identity for a military uniform.

After basic, she was assigned to the Council Demilitarization Enforcement Mission in the krogan DMZ as an interceptor fighter pilot. Only her unusual surname suggests there's more to her story than any other maiden serving on the turian ship THV Severum, but nobody asks and she doesn't tell.

EQUIPMENT

Asari Interceptor Fighter (not pictured)

A standard asari fighter has significantly less armour than a Heirarchy or even Alliance model to prioritise mass drive efficiency, speed, and agility. Designed for ship-to-ship combat and missile screening duties.

M-4 Shuriken machine pistol

A standard issue light sidearm featuring a three-round burst firing mechanism. Dela occasionally carries a matched pair in combat if she expects to encounter a large concentration of shielded enemies.

Kapesh-Ardat duelist saber

A finely balanced, high-tensile tungsten carbide sword used by practitioners of the ancient asari martial art that shares its name. Assisted by biotics, Dela's blade can pierce most modern body armour. Kapesh-Ardat focuses on defeating enemies greater in strength or numbers and takes several decades to master.

SKILLS

Dela is a proficient biotic, pilot, and hand-to-hand combatant. She uses biotic blinks to cover large distances, while her backlash field absorbs and redirects enemy fire. While she prefers to use her sword in ground operations, she can use a lift field to immobilise enemy combatants to finish off with her sidearm, or a powerful biotic lance.

PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE

Dela Raisaris is sharp-witted and funny, with a bawdy sense of humour that gets her reprimanded by her superiors, along with her cheerful disregard for protocol and preference for reckless flying. Quick with her affections, both emotional and physical, Dela is very popular with her crewmates - though her open sexuality often sees her entangled in love triangles. Despite her platonic love for her friends, Dela has had very few long-term relationships and nothing more serious than flings since she joined the asari military.

In combat, Dela shows a single-minded focus and tenacity rare in asari maidens. In a cockpit, Dela is a competent fighter but relies more on advanced evasion and pursuit techniques than combat showdowns. In contrast, during ground operations her aggression and independence are second only to a krogan, and while this results in a large number of enemy casualties it can also expose her allies.

Why do I keep thinking of these, I’m traaaaaped 1. He’s actually rather cold-blooded, and while this doesn’t really give him problems in the summer, in the winter he needs to layer up quite a bit more than the rest of the gang. 2. He has a Nintendo Switch and the only game he owns for it is Animal Crossing: New Horizons. He also has an XBOX but that’s to play with MC and Tsathoggua when they do multiplayer shenanigans. 3. He believes in the innate power of local multiplayer but he’ll do online if it’s not possible. 4. He’s demisexual! He needs some level of a bond before the horizontal tango happens. 5. He’s actually from quite a well-off family and expends money like it’s nothing. Everyone else is left utterly baffled on how he’s so (reasonably) stacked. 6. If we ever get to see what he wants to major in University, he’d probably go for some kind of humanities study. Like history, sociology, that kinda stuff. 7. He’s bleached his hair A LOT for maintaining his current hair colour and thusly has a very rigorous hair routine so it doesn’t get all gross.

buckle up lads we're going BACK INTO THE BOOK

the thing is that they're so fascinated by sex, they love sex, they can't imagine a world without sex - they need sex to sell things, they need sex to be part of their personality, they need sex to prove their power - but they hate sex. they are disgusted by it.

sex is the only thing that holds their attention, and it is also the thing that can never be discussed directly.

you can't tell a child the normal names for parts of their body, that's sexual in nature, because the body isn't a body, it's a vessel of sex. it doesn't matter that it's been proven in studies (over and over) that kids need to know the names of their genitals; that they internalize sexual shame at a very young age and know it's 'dirty' to have a body; that it overwhelmingly protects children for them to have the correct words to communicate with. what matters is that they're sexual organs. what matters is that it freaks them out to think about kids having body parts - which only exist in the context of sex.

it's gross to talk about a period or how to check for cancer in a testicle or breast. that is nasty, illicit. there will be no pain meds for harsh medical procedures, just because they feature a cervix.

but they will put out an ad of you scantily-clad. you will sell their cars for them, because you have abs, a body. you will drip sex. you will ooze it, like a goo. like you were put on this planet to secrete wealth into their open palms.

they will hit you with that same palm. it will be disgusting that you like leather or leashes, but they will put their movie characters in leather and latex. it will be wrong of you to want sexual freedom, but they will mark their success in the number of people they bed.

they will crow that it's inappropriate for children so there will be no lessons on how to properly apply a condom, even to teens. it's teaching them the wrong things. no lessons on the diversity of sexual organ growth, none on how to obtain consent properly, none on how to recognize when you feel unsafe in your body. if you are a teenager, you have probably already been sexualized at some point in your life. you will have seen someone also-your-age who is splashed across a tv screen or a magazine or married to someone three times your age. you will watch people pull their hair into pigtails so they look like you. so that they can be sexy because of youth. one of the most common pornography searches involves newly-18 young women. girls. the words "barely legal," a hiss of glass sand over your skin.

barely legal. there are bills in place that will not allow people to feel safe in their own bodies. there are people working so hard to punish any person for having sex in a way that isn't god-fearing and submissive. heteronormative. the sex has to be at their feet, on your knees, your eyes wet. when was the first time you saw another person crying in pornography and thought - okay but for real. she looks super unhappy. later, when you are unhappy, you will close your eyes and ignore the feeling and act the role you have been taught to keep playing. they will punish the sex workers, remove the places they can practice their trade safely. they will then make casual jokes about how they sexually harass their nanny.

and they love sex but they hate that you're having sex. you need to have their ornamental, perfunctory, dispassionate sex. so you can't kiss your girlfriend in the bible belt because it is gross to have sex with someone of the same gender. so you can't get your tubes tied in new england because you might change your mind. so you can't admit you were sexually assaulted because real men don't get hurt, you should be grateful. you cannot handle your own body, you cannot handle the risks involved, let other people decide that for you. you aren't ready yet.

but they need you to have sex because you need to have kids. at 15, you are old enough to parent. you are not old enough to hear the word fuck too many times on television.

they are horrified by sex and they never stop talking about it, thinking about it, making everything unnecessarily preverted. the saying - a thief thinks everyone steals. they stand up at their podiums and they look out at the crowd and they sign a bill into place that makes sexwork even more unsafe and they stand up and smile and sign a bill that makes gender-affirming care illegal and they get up and they shrug their shoulders and write don't say gay and they get up, and they make the world about sex, but this horrible, plastic vision of it that they have. this wretched, emotionless thing that holds so much weight it's staggering. they put their whole spine behind it and they push and they say it's normal!

this horrible world they live in. disgusted and also obsessed.

So does anybody else ever think about how Loop felt the need to demonstrate that the party's deaths wouldn't have any effect on the loops. I know I do but that's besides the point. Anyway I don't think Loop actually needs to bathe, they just like to feel included.
