Ranis'Fera

**Ranis'Fera** is a young quarian pilgrim and freelance mechanic who was born aboard the liveship Chayym within the Migrant Fleet.

## Biography

Ranis’Fera was born on the liveship Chayym in 2164 to Aldas’Fera and Randha’Fera. Although an only child, Ranis was in fact his parents’ second child after their first had tragically died of illness shortly after birth. Because of this loss, Ranis’ parents were incredibly protective of him, wanting to ensure he grew up to be safe and healthy. From a young age, they carefully watched over him, restricting what he could do in case he got hurt or succumbed to sickness. Although this was done out of love and a desire to protect him, the young quarian was frustrated. Naturally curious, Ranis wanted to explore everything, but was often held back while his peers were able to play freely.

As he grew slightly older and gained some independence, this frustration manifested into a rebellious streak. Ranis began to misbehave, going against his parents’ wishes and exploring, often by running off by himself and hiding in various places on the ship. This frequently got him into precarious situations, much to the chagrin of his parents and the other adults on the ship. Though his parents quickly grew exasperated with Ranis’ behaviour, they struggled to punish him appropriately, lacking the heart to treat their only son too harshly. This in turn encouraged Ranis to act out more, knowing he would rarely get in trouble for it and lacking the maturity to understand why his parents wanted to protect him.

Despite his rambunctious behaviour and blatant frustration at his parents’ attempts to shelter him from harm, Ranis still cared for them deeply. When he wasn’t in school or running off by himself, he spent time with them, learning aspects of their jobs that other young quarians weren’t privy to. His father Aldas was the ship’s tailor and taught Ranis embroidery and needlework beyond the basic stitching techniques taught to him in school, allowing him to develop his sewing skills far beyond his peers. As soon as Ranis was old enough to be fitted with his first suit, he was already customising it with small scraps of fabric Aldas presented him. Meanwhile, his mother Randha, a gun mechanic and former marine, showed him the intricacies of weapons and taught him how to shoot.

Eventually, as Ranis grew older, he matured and came to understand why his parents were so protective of him as a child. However, his desire to explore never quelled. When it came time for him to embark on his pilgrimage, he couldn’t wait to leave the fleet and explore the galaxy. However, his parents’ desire to protect him held him back yet again as they insisted on meticulously preparing him for any situation he may encounter. Once again, Ranis was frustrated, especially as he watched his friends set out into the galaxy before him. With this frustration building, Ranis began to look for other opportunities to leave the fleet

At the age of 18, Ranis’Fera finally left the fleet.

## Personality

Only recently embarking on his pilgrimage, Ranis is an immature young man who has yet to see much of the galaxy. He has a highly curious spirit and is fascinated with the world around him, especially since he has yet to experience much of life outside of the Migrant Fleet. In general, Ranis is a fairly upbeat individual, looking towards life with a sense of excitement even in dire situations. He regards others in a similar way, taking enjoyment in talking to and getting to know others, regardless of whether the feeling is reciprocated.

However, this attitude, combined with his lack of understanding of the world, often leads to naivety and recklessness. Ranis rarely recognises when he’s faced with danger, and typically charges ahead without a second thought. Additionally, he is quick to trust others, making him incredibly gullible. Under the careful watch of his parents within the safe confines of the Migrant Fleet, he was lucky enough to avoid trouble - a fate that may not hold true once he ventures out into the rest of the galaxy.

## Physical Description

Ranis is fairly typical for a young quarian male. Standing at a modest 1.62m, his stature, while on the smaller side, still borders on average for a quarian. Similarly, his physique is also average for a young quarian male - slim and slightly toned. While Ranis is a very active individual, he doesn’t necessarily go out of his way to exercise. Consequently, he doesn’t have a great deal of muscle on his frame, at least not enough to be visible through his envirosuit.

Having yet to complete his pilgrimage, Ranis’ dons a standard quarian envirosuit that lacks any significant alterations in terms of its design. The majority of the suit is a pale grey colour and covered in various scuffs and marks, already earned before he stepped foot outside of the migrant fleet due to his various adventures onboard his homeship. A warm yellow visor contrasts with the cool blue fabric of his hood, which is decorated with intricate embroidery.

## Armament

### Combat Arms

Ranis utilizes an M-3 Predator heavy pistol and an M-23 Katana shotgun when drawn into combat. His omni-tool is equipped with the combat abilities Overload and AI Hacking, and his envirosuit is equipped with Tech Armor projectors.
