Yastra'Solum

**Yastra'Solum vas Avan'Tica** is an operative in the Council Recovery Corps.

## Biography

Yastra's parents were both very well respected minds once, Ilya'Solum and Vano'Solum vas Uni'Pandia had developed improvements to the Migrant fleet in several ways; They had improved crop production, nutritional values of some crops, and even improvements to the environment suits every Quarian wore. They had an idea that would go awry, however. In 2158 they started developing a nano-aerosol compound that was intended to over time, improve the Quarian immune system. If it had worked as intended, it might have made the environment suits less mandatory in ten years, but things went wrong. The barrier they used to hold any samples they developed failed after a drive malfunction. The unfinished aerosol was sucked into the ventilation system and over a period of a month, the compound would claim the lives of three, and put every single Quarian aboard into a state of great illness for a period. Ilya and Vano were put on trial, they did not defend themselves. They knew it was their fault and they knew they could have done far more damage. The couple was to be exiled, though allowed to continue their duties under guard until they reached a habitable world.

The two were left on Eingana, it was dangerous, and they had to work with unsavory folk to maintain their meager comforts, but they made the best of it. By 2161 they had built themselves a home, and a lab that could support continued research, they’d even managed to purchase an old Batarian shuttle that they used to travel to more civilized areas to gather material, trade for funds or data, and other such things. It was not the fleet, but it was something. It could have been a good way to spend the rest of their lives, but a careless night with Turian brandy resulted in something that would force their hand. In late 2162 Ilya’Solum began to show signs of pregnancy. To try to bring an infant Quarian into the world on a planet, outside of the fleet, was risky but it wasn't something they felt overwhelmed by.

So, given the circumstances, the parents-to-be did their best to prepare. A portion of their lab was cleared out and sterilized, a decontamination airlock was rigged together as well, and they began to seal up the smallest of hairline fractures or gaps in the structure of the building. They were so careful, and tried to think of every contingency, but one that neither had put much thought into beyond basic management, was the eezo exposure; Not to their child, this was well thought out, but the years and months that lead up to their child being born had resulted in several close calls with suit punctures and the like on a planet that had element zero traces in the dirt itself. This oversight was brought to their attention after Ilya reached the later stages of pregnancy and medical scans, where deposits of element zero were found within the fetus.

This presented a problem for the couple, children with this sort of abnormality could often be malformed or otherwise disabled at birth, and neither of them felt confident that their meager clean room and medical equipment would be up for such a task. So, they sent a message to the Migrant Fleet, and informed them of the situation as they prepared to leave. It took a few days of back and forth communication before an agreement was reached. The two would be allowed to temporarily return to the Fleet for the birth, however they would remain in exile, and their child would be left in charge of the captain of the vessel that it was born on. Without having much other choice, the two agreed and the girl, Yastra'Solum nar Tarragon was born on August 20th, 2163 without complication.

She was given to the ship captain, Emat'Roka vas Tarragon, and her parents returned to Eingana before she was out of the clean room. Her surrogate family did well for her, and as she grew she learned what many Quarian children did, just as well if not better than those that had proper family. A small ship, meant a small crew, and the number of children was equally small. There was Bria’Hadar, the oldest who hadn’t yet taken the Pilgrimage, and Yimir’Cheka, a boy only a month older than Yastra. The three of them were taught like most children aboard smaller Fleet vessels were, with older members teaching them basic things like math, history, and reading, while Admiralty approved files for science and engineering were distributed to help further the basic education. These early years from 2168 to 2172 weren’t very different from any other Fleet-raised child. Although it is important to note that Yastra showed early promise in understanding engineering that went into the Tarragon, and other vessels that she was exposed to directly or indirectly. Given their knowledge of Yastra’s potential biotics, it was about at age 10 in 2173 that they performed another series of tests. Mainly tests of brain activity, element zero proliferation in her system, and other such tests. It was determined that it was unlikely that she would develop much, if any true ability, however as rare as Quarian biotics were, she was given access journals and other research done in regards to Quarian biotics in the past, both before and after the Morning War. This information, though certainly an interesting read to the young Quarian, did not provide her with any immediate breakthroughs in her abilities. However it did give her a great deal of understanding in how biotics could and had been used.

By the age of 13 in 2176, Yastra was a well liked girl aboard the ship, her quick thinking and outside the box thinking in regards to engineering helped the Tarragon to run that much more smoothly. Most of her work consisted of replacing or repairing damaged components and the connecting materials such as wires and cables. In addition to these duties aboard the ship, she and other members of the ship would often be tasked with assisting other, larger vessels with repairs if it was urgent. It was situations like these where Yastra would gain an affinity for cataloging various ships and what made them unique, as well as learning how they functioned. In addition to her growing mechanical knowledge, Yastra continued to study biotics, pouring over what available data she had and trading for more information when she was able. It was around this time that people began to take notice of her rather intense nature. If Yastra wanted something, she could be fairly forceful in her acquisition of it, whether literally or metaphorically. The same would apply if there was something about herself that was restricting her. Did she need to ask for help to fix something she thought she understood? She’d study the subject for hours before going to sleep. Did she need to take a break before or more than someone else while doing some more intense labor? She would work her body to the point where she wasn’t lagging behind even the adults.

It was a 2 more years, 2178, that Yastra made her first request to be sent on her Pilgrimage. She felt that she was ready, and to waste more time would not really do her or the Fleet any good. 15 was a young age to be undertaking the Pilgrimage, however given Yastra’s fire and skill they considered it, and even began to plan for her departure by gathering supplies. However, this would be put on hold following an incident while Yastra was working. A rogue bit of space debris had collided with the Tarragon the night before the incident, and crews were working to fix the damage in shifts. During Yastras, an unsecured crate fell and knocked her into a bundle of recently repaired gas and fluid lines. Due to the nature of some of these chemicals, they had thin metallic sheathing on some, and this was enough to pierce her suit, flooding it with a mixture of noxious fumes and less than safe fluids, some at a painful temperature. Yastra managed to survive the encounter, though she would be left with several chemical scars on her body  from this, and her Pilgrimage would be postponed for another two years. The first year was spent mostly in recovery, not only from the burns and physical damage caused by the exposure, but to also help fight off infections and illnesses that plagued her due to the non-sterile fluids breaching her suit.

At the start of 2180 though Yastra finally set out on her Pilgrimage, having been given all the advice and equipment that the Tarragon could spare to a Pilgrim, and sent her to the Turian planet of Digeris where she would begin her journey to prove her worth to the Fleet. Yastra hit the ground running, and made a point to not waste any time on this Pilgrimage. She had a vague idea of what she wanted to accomplish, but one thing she would need, was funds.

Her experience with the gifted Turian vessels that wound up in the Fleet helped her to gain employment at a small dock-side repair station. She, along with a few others would make repairs to vessels that requested it, and then run a full inspection to ensure it was all running according to plan. This job netted her a fair paycheck, enough that she was able to begin saving for her next plan. Unlike many Quarians, she knew exactly what she wanted to do, what she would bring back, and had thought up a plan on how best to do it while she was forced to recuperate from her incident.

The first phase of her plan was complete in the end of 2180, having purchased a fully functioning shuttle-craft, capable of FTL, and with certain space and hauling requirements that she felt she would need. Yastra remained employed to the dockside repair station into the middle of 2181. During this time, Yastra also sought the help of an Asari that was living on the planet with their partner at the time, known by the name of Hien, she was well into her matron years, and was teaching a class to young Asari, the very few that were in the area, on how to better control their biotics. Yastra was still interested in her own biotic potential, as meager as it was it tied back into her desire to improve herself in every way imaginable, and she wasn’t going to let perceived inability stop her. Hien was a patient teacher, and though Yastra was leagues below even the most abysmal Asari student, she did not give in. Understanding the risk and relative inability for Yastra to equip herself with a biotic amplifier, the Asari coached her on mental techniques and subconscious control of one’s most minute actions. These were techniques typically only applied for Asari who were stunted in biotic development, but Yastra never balked at the semi-insult, and threw herself at the lessons with her same fervor and desire to succeed. To Yastra, this studying paid off however, and despite still being woefully underpowered in comparison to any true, amplified biotic user, she now could use her strange talent. It required concentration, and deep focus, but the Quarian could now finally lift something weighing about a pound, without the use of an amp.

Yastra would have liked to stay a bit longer, to learn more, and possibly to grow more powerful, but her plan was progressing into its second stage now. On top of work, and these studies, she had been stockpiling food, salvage data, tools, and general funds. She deemed herself ready, and set off from Digeris, looking for her prize. The Quarian’s plan was rather simple, find a corvette or larger sized vessel, in disrepair but not totaled state, repair it, and return to the fleet as a Captain of her own ship. She knew well enough that this could take more than the standard length of time for most Pilgrimages, but she was willing to take as long as was needed.

Through the rest of 2181, till she turned 20 in 2183, Yastra’s searches were a bit of a dead end. She could find old, derelict ships, yes, that wasn’t the difficulty. However, she was playing by the rules of the system usually, which meant that she had to make a salvage claim to ships that had a possible function. On the first ship she had found, an old Turian frigate, she had actually gotten a good bit of progress before someone essentially “bought out” her claim, and forced her from the wreck. Of course many times she would be reimbursed for the work she did, unless of course the party that bought her claim was less savory, in which case she often had to take steps to ensure she wasn’t taken as part of a “packaged deal.” It went on like this time and again, sometimes a violent skirmish would ensue, leaving her worse for wear, but she had prepared well, and was willing to keep fighting. She made a few enemies, and a few friends along the way, chasing the dream. However, Yastra knew that she had to change her game plan in some way if she was to have any realistic hopes of getting her way.  Yastra explored a few options, ranging from finding higher paying work to outright buy a freighter of some sort, to piecing one together from various other wrecks.

However, a solution presented itself before such drastic measures needed to be taken. While she was moving through the Terminus Systems, a pure chance incident that would provide her with what she needed. Near the planet Nearog, in the Batalla system, she had found a derelict ship. It was old, damaged, but whole, and not on any registered salvage network. Elcor in design, it was larger, despite ship classifications listing it as a civilian freighter, it seemed to have the mass of a light cruiser, or perhaps heavy frigate. Yastra boarded the ship, intending to see what was aboard, to see the extent of the damage, and see what she would need to power it up and get it moving. All things considered, the ship was not in bad shape: All the Eezo had been taken by someone, probably another in search of Essul’s hidden cache, most of the lines were frozen and therefore needed extensive repair or replacing, and radiation had fried a good deal of the ship’s electronics. To her, these were difficult, but very doable repairs, all she needed was time.

Yastra did as much work as she could without traveling to get new parts first, including repairing and replacing/cannibalizing several of the lines. She had done a thorough scan of the whole ship, one thing the Elcor vessel used that she did not need, was additional gravity. In fact, at the moment she didn’t need gravity at all to work on the ship, so she stripped what she could from those components to fix more vital ones, like climate control and kinetic barriers. Yastra spent a full week working on the ship before stopping, sleeping in snatches as she tirelessly put herself to work. Eventually though she did need to stop to go find the parts she would need to truly bring the ship back to life, not only that, she’d need to find a way to fly this ship by herself. Her need for materials brought her back to Digeris, where she wasted no time in purchasing the materials she needed to finish the majority of the repairs. She also took three days to attend additional classes with Hien, touching up on her biotics as much as she could with the limited time.

Departing again, she returned to her prize to find it occupied. Yastra recognized the vessel as an old Batarian design, and knew that it was likely going to be a fight to get it back. Yastra knew that she was outnumbered most likely, and that it was likely by a significant amount. However, she knew the ship better than they did, and she knew how to get in without being noticed. She crawled along the side of the ship, searching for the broken maneuvering thruster she had noted on her first day of scans. Once found, she worked her way through the larger than normal service tunnels and began making her way up and down the length of the ship.

Open combat would be difficult, she only had her Arc Pistol, and in these corridors there would be no way it could compete with rifles and shotguns. With this as well, any damage to the ship would be damage she’d have to repair herself. So Yastra played the part as a sneak and assassin, working through the vents and service passages, carefully picking off the small number of boarders that were squatting on her ship. They suspected her of course, but Yastra was able to avoid a shootout, killing without even having a shot fired directly at her in return.

It took her another three weeks to finish fully repairing the vessel, though some pieces were still in need of service, it was flyable, and using the remaining Eezo from both her ship, and the Batarians, she was able to power the drive-core. The main thing that had made her piloting of the ship possible, was the Elcor’s extensive VI network aboard their ships, it allowed her to slave certain functions to a simple algorithm, and the rest of the functions, for short journeys, she could handle. Yastra didn’t waste time, and flew the ship to Digeris, storing the two shuttles inside the large cargo-holds of her new freighter and selling them to cover the cost of complete repairs and restocks of the ship. Pushing into the start of 2184, the repairs were extensive, but doable, with Yastra helping every step of the way. This stationary period allowed her to spend yet more time with Hien’s class, and by the time she left in February of that year, she pushed herself to be able to move a full 5 pounds within a small sphere around her. She took these skills, and her ship, now named the Avan’Tica, back to the Fleet, fully intending to end her Pilgrimage.

Yastra returned, calling out her return phrase as the large ship came into comm-range. She was welcomed back, many quite impressed with her accomplishment. A vessel of this size could house dozens of Quarians, as well as materials. However, as Yastra came to greet Emat’Roka, and began to speak, he mentioned how she would be moved to a different ship. This was a gut-punch to the young Quarian, and she argued vehemently, to the point where the issue was brought before the Admiralty. Despite the work that she had put into obtaining the vessel, they were uncomfortable with such a young person taking the role of Captain, which went beyond simple duties of maintaining a ship. However, Yastra had made a case for herself that was strong enough that it was forced to go to a second day of debate. They scheduled a day of recess however before the second day of debate, and Yastra decided that she had a second option. Whether this was a smart choice or not, is entirely up for debate, but it was the decision she made.

The ship was still entirely slaved to the VI control algorithm she had set up, and during this debate only a 2 person security team had been set at the docking clamp entrance. As it happened, it was Yimir’Cheka and another Tarragon crew-member. Under the guise of wishing to have a final walk-around the ship she was granted entry and Yastra began to start up the drive core from her Omni-tool. This did not go unnoticed by the ships nearby, however Yastra had grown familiar enough with her ship that she was able to navigate to the bridge and disconnect the docking clamps before they could stop her. In her mind, this was her ship, and there wasn’t going to be anyone but her at the helm. When hailed on the comms, demanding answers, she simply responded that she was just visiting, and that she was still on Pilgrimage. She exited the Fleet’s range and made her jump back to Digeris, where she began the process of figuring out what she was going to do next.

Yastra regretted her decision at first, yes she was glad she had the ship, but the weight of her decision began to set in as she realized that in all likelihood, she was now an exile. She’d be fired upon if she ever tried to return, and her effort to do something more for the Fleet had turned, by her own hot-headed actions, into a wasted opportunity. That was until she was met by a Turian Major by the name of Varric Sareth, who was asking about the hireability of her ship. After lunch and a few glasses of brandy, a deal was arranged where Varric would ‘lend’ Yastra a few crew members, and she, in return would haul cargo to a military installation. Though Yastra never learned what was in the cargo, as there was also a security team sent to guard the unmarked containers, she knew that she wasn’t the only vessel sent out that week. She was however the only one that wasn’t Turian, and the only one without an escort. This first job was quite easy, but it paved the way for a new idea that Yastra had, to still give back to her people, even if she was exiled.

Yastra used the money from this to begin hiring a crew, starting small and working her way up to a crew totalling about ten, with a fluctuating number of dedicated security depending on the job. Her first hire, was actually Varric’s son, Kanis, employed in public works. There were five other Turians, along with an Asari girl that had helped teach at Hien’s class named Sila, a Krogan male named Mok’Bark, and a Drell woman who went by Sinha. The ship could have been run well enough with more crew, more easily even, but this was by Yastra’s design that VI systems continued to take on some of the work. Her new plan was to become a secondary extension of Quarian support for the scattered Pilgrims and away teams that the Fleet was too far away to help. She also began to search for new business opportunities on top of her work as a freighter pilot and exploratory vessel.

This business arrangement worked quite well, without interruption or major incident, for a few years. There were times when the crew would be hired to transport something illicit, and require a bit of clever piloting and negotiating to complete without issue. Then other times a response to a distress signal would turn into a shootout. Yastra and her crew earned their scars and their pay without interruption until about 2186, when the Terminus Confederation declared war on Citadel space, and more pointedly, when the Migrant Fleet sided with Terminus. Though not beholden to Fleet law, and in fact still listed as a criminal to them, she still did all in her power to help the Migrant Fleet in her own way. At the same time, her crew was mostly Turian, and the other members of her crew were mostly indifferent about the whole affair as far as which side they were aligned with.

It was put to a vote, and it was decided that the Avan’Tica would not take a side in the war, rather acting as a neutral vessel. Though this did reduce the number of contracts that could be taken, it would help them to avoid much in the way of intrigue or scandal. This being said however, it wasn’t out of the ordinary for the freighter to make its way into the wreckage of space battles and search for survivors. It was exceptionally rare that any would be found, but every now and then there might be one or two. Unsurprisingly, they were usually Quarians who had vacuum-sealed suits, or Krogans who were built to handle extremes like explosive decompression of a ship. With the latter, they were typically dropped off on a neutral world or if they were unruly, simply spaced. With the Quarians however, they were allowed to stay aboard, Yastra learned from them that the Batarians were the main deal brokers who had gotten the Quarians involved. As the war dragged on into months, survivors she found more frequently told of how the Batarians had turned their backs on the deal, under-delivered and over-promised. It was no surprise then, when the Quarians became less enthused about supporting the war.

With a much more filled out crew roster, Yastra decided to make another effort to connect with the Migrant Fleet. Her plans may have changed in regards to what her long-term goals were, but she wanted to at least see if she could patch up relations with her government. She located the Migrant Fleet, and after reaching Comm-distance began to negotiate. Yastra made it clear that she would not be giving her ship to the Fleet as before, however she wanted to return the Quarians she had rescued to their home, and she wanted to be able to visit and do business more directly without risking a seizure of her vessel or destruction. After the loss of ships and crew, the Fleet was far more enthused about Yastra’s proposal than she had expected. Typically, her case would warrant execution, however the Admiralty used a small loophole in their own laws to prevent such a necessity. In her own words, she had not yet ended her Pilgrimage, and as such had not stolen a ship from the Flotilla, as it was not yet handed over in full. With this simple distinction, she was effectively pardoned of her crime, on the condition that her Pilgrimage be one that continued one until the Admiralty deemed otherwise. In practice, this meant that she was a free agent working on behalf of the Migrant Fleet, while at the same time not bearing the penalties of being an exile. One caveat it added to the Pilgrimage of others, was that any Quarian could petition to be assigned to the Avan’Tica, and after a period of service and a writ of merit from Yastra, could be brought back into the Fleet without fear of being less capable.

In 2187, with the war reaching its height, strange tales of mysterious ships and creatures began to reach the Avan’Tica’s well connected ears, however it wasn’t until the Galactic Summit that Yastra began to learn what was really going on. Simply a merchant-mariner, she wasn’t involved in politics but she knew that the war had apparently been put on hold, and that there really was a greater danger out there. She received a dispatch then from the Admiralty to assemble with the rest of the Migrant Fleet. They were going to do their part for the Galaxy, and they felt that Yastra deserved to be a part of that. The Avan’Tica was outfitted with weapons beyond simple point-defense, and given a full crew, but Yastra would remain the Captain. Not a purpose built warship, the Avan’Tica was not in the front line of the battle, acting instead as a sort of picket-ship, screening smaller craft as the battle began at the Omega-4 Relay. The actions of Yastra’Solum vas Avan’Tica that day would save the lives of an unknown number of Quarians, but at the very least a few ships, as her daring and knowledge of her own ship allowed her to maneuver and fight with more efficacy than one might expect of a retrofitted freighter. Still, the Avan’Tica was not immune to fire, and was knocked out of the fight, sub-light engines badly damaged, and was barely able to limp through the Relay before the RNW was fired. With heavy losses on all fleets, Yastra and her crew, both Quarian and non, worked tirelessly to repair their own ship and the ships of other fleets that were badly damaged.

Following the events of the Omega-4 Relay, Yastra’s crew returned to it’s work, focused on assisting with rebuilding various infrastructures that had been damaged. Though not many populated worlds had been damaged, remote mining and refinery stations had been. It was during this time that Yastra received a strange communique from the Migrant Fleet. With the conclusion of the Terminus Conflict, and the defeat of the Reapers, all species were being given a proper embassy on the Citadel. It was decided that there would be a general polling to determine who would be the Quarian ambassador, and Yastra was in the running. Luckily, this was not her time for politics it seemed, her bid for the spot losing out to one of the members of the Admiralty. As it happened though, she was the fourth most popular choice, making her a well known figure among her people, though maybe not the most well documented figure.

Still, for the next few years, the Avan’Tica would continue its more humanitarian routes, even going so far as to run rather dangerous missions to pick up Batarian refugees who were trying to escape the violence of the Civil War. It was during one of these missions that Yastra first ran into members of the CRC. Though she was still rather fond of her flexibility, it seemed that she would be able to help further, and possibly earn more renown for the Quarian people by volunteering with these people, and so she has.

## Personality

Yastra is an intense person, goal focused and very hard to deter from even minor desires. However, she rarely places blame on anyone for barring her path, if she cannot reach a goal, Yastra will typically take it upon herself to find the solution without pointing accusations at the how’s or why’s the first plan should have worked. This ties into her own personal perception as well. She won’t look in the mirror and lament at how her arms look fatter, or how her suit seems a bit scruffier than she’d like. Yastra is more likely to look in the mirror and tell herself what she’s going to do today to make herself look and perform better, following through with these daily goals without fail.

This non-stop attitude would normally grate on more relaxed people, however Yastra is controlled enough not to push her mannerisms or schedule onto someone else unless necessary. Her crew know that she may disapprove of how something looks or performs aboard the ship, but only if she’s going about fixing it and showing them hands-on how to do better next time. In regards to her ship, it is her home and her livelihood. Yastra will do anything to keep the old ship in good working order, and in the proper hands. She has no qualms with changing design elements however, always looking to improve one aspect or another. In regards to the crew aboard the ship, they are her family, much like any Quarian might perceive them. True, most of the time the bulk of her crew is not Quarian, but they trust her with their lives, and in turn she does the same. Yastra has taken personal matters of her crew and dealt with them with discretion if need be, including holding a wedding ceremony for Mok’Bark and Sila T’yoma, and traveling both to Digeris and Teche for two separate celebrations from both families.

One thing that Yastra does struggle with, is taking time for her own personal enjoyment. Her whole life has been a string of constant self-imposed missions and goals, with little relaxation time. Though she has her crew and the Migrant Fleet to care for, little time has been spent in the realm of more intimate relationships, and she is very inexperienced in this area.

### Exceptional Skills

* Extension of the Body: It’s a Captain’s duty to know their ship, and Yastra takes this to an extreme level. She can fix any part of her ship that is broken and knows how long it will take her running, walking, or crawling to get from one part to the next. At the helm, Yastra knows where the edges of her hull and kinetic barrier are physically, even without a sensor to guide her.
* Vas parkour: Being able to move quickly from one point to the next within a ship in an emergency is an art form. You have to move through narrow ports and sometimes through service areas. Yastra has gotten very accustomed to such things and has become a master at moving through tight, cluttered, and oddly orientated spaces at the fastest possible speed, with or without people in the way.
* Chart of Identification: A hobby and a reliable skill, Yastra takes the time to sketch out silhouettes as well as the different frequencies of different energy that a ship type may give off. As an example, she is able to tell by the frequency of drive-core what sort of ship she’s dealing with, down to the model of an individual class. All models and sketches are kept in a book she carries on her person at all times.
* Biotic Curiosity: A very rare case indeed, Yastra’Solum is a biotic Quarian, though her abilities are not at all useful for combat, she is able to do light work with it. She has a surprising amount of control given she has no biotic amp, but best not expect her to move anything more than five pounds, and really only if she’s within fifteen feet of it.
* Das Raumschiff: She’s found herself enjoying older styled Human movies. Classics like Das Boot, The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, 12 O’Clock High, and The Godfather. However other movies also gather her attention, such as Waterloo, Captain and Commander, and the like. Yastra often finds herself spending a good deal of credits to get copies of them to the Flotilla.

## Physical Description

What everyone sees first is the suit, the immediate identifier for any Quarian to the outside world. Yastra’s was custom-fitted like most are, but she was able to pay for slightly more expensive and reliable material. The base which the rest of the suit is built upon is the black body glove. This nearly skin-tight piece is constructed of a textured, nano-mesh weave, with a fully vacuum-safe inner lining along the skin. It feels a bit like ray-skin to the touch on the outer surface. The cloth wrapping over top of this is mostly a beige and gold color, with slightly rusty accents on the edges. They go up along her legs, but only on the outside from knees up to the thighs, before they form together and then after a moment, cross over her breasts and then over the shoulders. Her hood is a separate piece, fairly tight to her suit to prevent catching. There is a form-fitted set of armor on the outside of the suit as well, modular and able to be removed on demand, it’s comprised of bracers, a breastplate that goes from her hips up to her neck with a matching piece for the back, and guards for her shins and the fronts of her thighs. Yastra also has a poncho that matches with her cloth’s coloring. It is not very long, only going down to about her navel in the front, and the middle of her back in the back. Other quirks for the suit include: An adjustable tint on her face-plate, which allows her to show her face to those she wishes to see it. A series of small, compact tool kits that carry specialized tools for maintaining the Avan’Tica.

Beneath the suit, she has a more muscular form than most Quarians and especially Quarian females. On her cheeks are a series of pock-mark like scars, very mild but still visible, these are also present on her throat and around her ribs. Yastra has a very strong looking face, attractive, but cute isn’t what most would associate with it. She has the typical Quarian markings up along her neck, up to the back of her skull. Her hair is cut short, shaved in along the sides with a shaggy mass of red on top. Other marks include puncture wounds from bullets and shrapnel, most of them around her chest and back.
