N7 Recruitment Files

The Reapers have arrived. Cerberus strikes have left many dead. We cannot wait for Commander Sheperd to unite the galaxy. We need a response to both these threats now. A beacon of hope. Something to take the pressure off our forces. We need the best. The best of the best of all our species.

N7 Recruitment Files

Name: Korra'Norral vas Iktomi

Species: Quarian

Military Affiliation: Quarian Marine Corps

Combat Specialization:

Korra is a trained sniper, one of the best the quarians have. Her skills have earned her a reputation with batarian pirates, being one of the few marines the Admiralty Board sends out on missions away from the flotilla, and of the even fewer marines sent out on assassination missions. Unlike most quarian marines, however, who are sent out on operations against the geth, Korra's missions are of the flotilla's personal defense, going after batarian pirates. She has killed several pirate gang leaders and HVTs. She is trained with a knife, to wield as a defensive weapon or throwing it, and she seems to be above average in explosive ordinance.

Favored Weapons:

M-92 Mantis (though this may be because this is the only sniper rifle she has access to.), M-12 Locust, explosives.

Psych Profile:

Korra is calm and determined, but not so much to be considered cold. When paired up with other marines she is unfamiliar with, she makes a point to at the very least learn their name and combat history. Most times however, she will introduce herself and make an attempt to know the new squad mate or partner. On her pilgrimage, and whenever she takes leave away from the flotilla, she tends to avoid batarians, as she is not fond of them. This is most likely because many of her missions are assassinating batarian figures, and because her older brother died in a pirate raid when she was a child. However, there has not been an incident while on shore leave. Though, this may be because she rarely takes her leave.

Along with her dislike of batarians, she has a deep resentment of Cerberus, as their attack on the quarian flotilla ended up with her father and two of her friends killed. She bares little remorse for members of the organization.

Korra takes her job and role in quarian society very seriously. The only thing that she seems to take as seriously as her job is her current marriage, or bonding. Her first "husband" left her, doing the equivalent of quarian divorce. In the entirety of quarian history, even before their exile couples separating after their "marriage" is almost unheard of, considering the species closeness with each other. It is unknown what caused her first husband to leave her, but it is known that Korra blames herself for whatever happened. Her current marriage, or bonding, with Ken'Norral vas Iktomi, is extremely important to her, and anytime she is not on a mission she spends with him if he is available. Ken is a quarian marine as well and also being considered for the N7 Special Ops.

Summary:

Korra is an experienced, elite, adaptable sniper who takes missions very seriously. While not the best, one of the better snipers we have seen. Reliable, can be trusted to accomplish mission. Works well with others. Hatred of Cerberus can be used for motivation.

Caution: Avoid pairing with any batarian squadmates, and as with all quarians, geth. Loyalty to husband and his safety may be problematic to mission success if teamed together. Possible mental breakdown should Ken be killed in action.

Recommendation: Approved for N7 Spec Ops. Deployment against Cerberus as soon as possible.

This is the lead up to my future N7 Spec Ops fic. This is to garner your interest, and sort of introduce you to the characters that will appear. It is a way for me to jump them right into the action without having to do too many flashback scenes or heavy thought dialogue to explain their past. I know the name "N7 Spec Ops" is just the nickname and not official, but it is just easier to write this way. I know that they are only character bios so far, but I ask you to still review to see what you think of them, if they are cool or stupid or whatever. And no, just saying that they are cool or stupid are not acceptable reviews. Got a character you want to appear? Fantastic! Just leave a mini bio of them in the review (though I will not accept any character if there is not an actual review as well.) and then I will give a more detailed one. And if the bio I create is unsatisfactory, PM me and I will change it. While you are not restricted to "game rules" I advise you to still try to be a bit realistic. But don't let that bog you down. If you are worried they are too out of place, put them forward anyway, and I'll tell you.
