## Biography

### Background

Akila Nehilk (also known as Akira) is a young woman born in Masada to a wealthy family. She was well-known for her intelligence and beauty, and she graduated from high school quickly, despite the *PROJECT-G/NEX War*. Akila, a child prodigy, strives to improve her country's situation despite the megacorporation's threats, which cause her to unclench at the sight of their soldiers, vehicles, and mechas. After mistakenly unleashing the sands' fury outside as a child, Akila discovers she has the capacity to manage it. Akila later bursted into tears as her parents were killed before she could use her powers to save others, with MERCS observing the tragedy before leaving her alone.

This aroused Akila's fury, allowing her to utilise the sands to consume PROJECT's troops who attempted to arrest her, causing them to suffocate to death. Later, she was hired as a mercenary by the SSI International to protect Masada from the megacorporation's forces, wherein Akila extensively trained in warfare and tactics and discovered the true scope of her powers; But to promote the organisation, Akila chose to become a model, which turned out to be a great decision. When Gucci Intermittent hired her as a tactical agent, she was given a one-of-a-kind dress that became her defining look.

### Lost Light

After witnessing her immense potential, Nemesis awarded her the role of a high ranking agent when SSI International, subsequently became fused with Gucci Intermittent. Veil rapidly rose to the position of lead tactician, allowing them to compete with MERCS for secrecy while fighting the mercenary group. However, she single-handedly changed the course of *Lost Light* by using the Starcore to permanently divide their foes. In this manner, she is indirectly responsible for the formation of OCTO and NONA.

#### The Division

Veil reveals Veil exposes the magnificent design of the Drashkhold, the Drashktarr/Gucci Intermittent's main headquarters. She uses the opportunity to go outside to get some fresh air and inspect their perimeter, right after a few guards confirmed that they've lost four men, and when she went with them to inspect their corpses, they are clearly shot to the head with high calibre rounds.

She informs Nemesis of their discoveries, leading to him concluding that their headquarters has been scouted by the enemy, Nemesis then declares that, it was MERCS. However, he cannot say who, even if Monark literally saw him from afar. Veil then advises their security to monitor their perimeters and send full patrols.

## Personality

Akila "Veil" Nehilik is a founding member of the Gucci Intermittent, an agency who sought to return civilization to what it was in the pre-PROJECT era as they believed that society during that period of time was most ideal, which also explained their actions at *Lost Light* via building places all around the planet for their war games. She was a charismatic member who gained the support of many displaced citizens in settlements across the globe, and these supporters were even willing to risk themselves to affiliate themselves with the agency.

Though her intentions were for the benefit of the vast number of displaced Masadans, Akila Nehilik, as noticed by Nemesis, became increasingly supremacist because Akila possessed superpowers that few others possessed. She believed she could use her powers and skills to alter the tide, so she began employing unconventional tactics to achieve her goals. Notably, Veil appears to harbour resentment toward MERCS, whose mercenaries witnessed her parents' deaths and refused to comfort her as a child throughout the conflict.

Notably, Veil has redeemable factors to make her turn to the side of good.

## Abilities

A Tactician, Veil prefers to stick into a secure location relaying tactics and breaking up enemy formations with her clever strategies, particularly her power over the sands of Masada, allowing her to create sandstorms, sand walls to obstruct enemies from entering a specific place and provide her teammates the tactical advantage. This does not mean she is incapable in the battlefield, clearly capable of using firearms and demonstrating great Hand-to-hand combat skills at the same time.

Unfortunately for her foes, her ability to control the sand does not prevent her from employing it in any battlefield that does not taking place in a desert. That being said, Veil can take advantage of the sand in any situation. That cannot be said in harsh environments like the Arctic.

### Skills

* **Brilliant Tactician**: Veil is the GI's primary tactician, possessing encyclopedic knowledge on various military tactics and strategies, not to mention greatly demonstrating efficient methods in almost every situation at hand. Notably, the only strategy she failed was when MERCS nearly defeated them during *The Division*.
