She enjoys the company of gentlemen and ladies, and can be quite the girlfriend when she’s out of uniform. She is always looking after her crew, especially her females, and is often the go-to-girl when it comes to drama. Her shipmates often come to her talking about men, human and alien, and she secretly wishes that she can talk about men as they do. After a few disappointing relationships, she’s on the verge of giving up.<br/><br/>In uniform, Ashka is a completely different woman. She knows how to take charge and carry out her duties as expected of her by her captain and those appointed over her. She isn’t against disciplining those whose foolishness extends outside regulation. She is an admirable NCO and very reliable shipmate.<br/><br/><strong>Appearance:</strong> Ashka is 5’6” and 142 lbs. Her body is lightly muscled with an hour-glass figure and full C-cup bosom. She doesn’t exactly have the body of an athlete for her people are not known for their physical strength. She braids her dark brown hair into a long braid and wraps it four times into a cylindrical crown upon her head. The dark pigmentation about her eyes make her blue irises stand-out in a hypnotic allure. Her lips are slightly full, adding to her exotic and youthful appearance.<br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong> (<em>The focus is mostly on the Karmona women. I don’t feel a need to describe the men since I’m not playing a male from that planet</em>).<br/><br/>The Karmona or Siren are a race of people who are humanoid in appearance except for the intricate pigments that stipple their faces in the form of scales. Their complexion is very bright and fair often of shades of grey or white. Their hair naturally grows to surpass their backside in length and so the Siren women tend to wrap their hair about their heads in braid-like crowns or tiaras.<br/><br/>A very distinct trait of the Karmona is that they are incapable of verbal speech. Their primary method of communication is by strong telepathic linkages, much like a network. They can broadcast their speech to a single mind or to several minds at once. Being as their mind is the sole method of direct communication, their brains are very powerful, granting them psychokinetic abilities that surpass most creatures and can barricade others from their minds. Although, the Karmona are strong in mind, they are weak in body. Their mortality is no better than that of humans.<br/><br/>Their other name, Siren, was given to them for their beautiful voices. When the Karmona open their mouths, the purest of sounds resonate from them. No human has ever heard an angel, but the voice of a Karmona female is the closest they envision.<br/><br/>Ashka hails from the planet Dib (D’eeb). It is a very green planet much like earth but much more tropical. Water is abundant to feed the plant-life, and the Karmona live in harmony with the flora. The flora on Dib can be very carnivorous. There are very few fauna that coexist with the beautiful yet vicious vegetation. The Karmona are said to sing to the plants, and soothed by their voices, the plants obey them.<br/><br/>Dib’s defenses weren’t strong enough to hold back the Winnower threat. The totalitarians burned the forests of Ashka’s home planet and imprisoned her people. It wasn’t until the Space Corps arrived that she and her people were freed and the Winnowers chased from her planet. Awed by the brother and sisterhood shared between alien and human, Ashka joined the ranks of the Space Corps and worked her way up to Chief.<br/><br/><strong>Specializations:</strong> Navigation System, Communications, Small Arms, Shuttle Rescue/Extraction, and Drop.<br/><br/><strong>Alien Abilities:</strong><br/><br/>Psychokinesis – Passive abilities bear no consequence to perform. Active abilities, however, do:<br/><br/><em>Telepathy</em> – Ashka can project her thoughts into the minds of others as a form of communication. She cannot read the thoughts of others, such as breach one’s mind to delve into their secrets. However, one can reach out to her using their thoughts, if ever one desires private conversation. One may try and receive no response. That doesn’t mean she isn’t listening. She may just be ignoring you. Ashka doesn’t like for anyone to talk to her on such a private link without her permission. It is considered a breach of personal space. (Passive)<br/><br/><em>Thought Implantation</em> – Known to the humans as a form of “Jedi mind trick,” it is where Ashka can change the train of thought of a weak-minded being (usually ones with an unstable personality that veers from the norm, persons taking psychoactive drugs, those suffering depression, or those who simply are unaware of Karmona powers). She will simply implant a new thought into their mind, which will interrupt that being’s current train of thought and often lead them to carry out the new one. It usually takes ten minutes for the implanted thought to vanish, which will leave the person confused and finding difficulty remembering what they had been doing before or what they very well may have been planning to do. She cannot force someone to perform acts that they wouldn’t willing do such as suicide for example. The thoughts must be harmless so they can go undetected, but just because they are harmless doesn’t mean that she can’t have someone walk into harm’s way. (Passive)<br/><br/><em>Psychic Blast</em> – Ashka can repel enemies within a five-foot radius away from her with a concussive blast of telekinetic power. The concussive power behind the blast can knock several beings unconscious for it is not only a physical blow but a mental blow. She can only perform such an ability under stressful situations where her brain is running at its highest capacity. To perform such an ability while not under stress can be disorienting and make her feel light-headed and faint. Also, performing this ability consecutively can place too much stress on her brain and make her faint. Thus, she only uses this ability sparingly. (Active)<br/><br/><em>Telekinesis</em> – This is Ashka’s most powerful skill. It is both an active and passive ability, and the situations are explained. She will use this ability when floating small objects to her or around the room. These are small, handheld objects, and nothing that would denote inhuman strength to carry. That is how she uses it passively. Actively, she can halt most aliens and humans where they stand. To be able to lift objects greater than what human strength can carry, requires absolute concentration. She must remain solitary and focus on the current task. In the war on her planet, the Sirens gathered in groups and using their collected focus were able to down a Winnower drop ship. It is believed that if the entire nation gathered and centered their focus as a collective that they could take down a Winnower battleship. The decimation of her planet and people was a covert strike for such reasons. Not even the Winnowers underestimated her species.<br/><br/>In a support setting, again actively, Ashka can provide support for ground forces by directing the projection of their firepower to ensure that every slug hits their mark if not critically.
