Skin Color: Light Grey
Eye Color: Green
Height: 5'9"
Build: Medium
Home Planet: Omega
Former Occupation: Eclipse Mercenary
APPEARANCE:
Kai didn't get the name Silverhand for nothin'. If asked, she'd start out by giving you 'the look'. Following that, she'd say that it comes from having to drag it from the cold dead fingers of those she'd had to clamber over while in Eclipse on Omega. It's certainly fitting, though, considering her whole right arm has been replaced by cybernetics. It's a black underbodied with silvery-steel highlights number with whorls and lines that match her natural markings. It seems built just as much for aesthetics as for use in her chosen profession. Her ashy grey skin of heavily offset by dark-bluish-green markings that generally form lines that highlight her natural Asari lines.
When off duty, she trends towards simple and comfortable. However, her armor is a little used Asari Medium armor translated to 'Valkyrie'. It's a sleek lined thick kevlar and plasteel affair designed to disperse aggression and keep the wearer alive, like all armor. Generally, it's more heavily plated across the upper body, a similarly armored long-jacket and a form-fitting bodysuit. It used to be another Asari's... as with Kai's primary weapon. It may have been pried from that Asari's corpse during an Eclipse raid. Then again, she seems the type to build her gear on idea of spoils of war, as she's also carrying a Blood Pack pistol. The whole of it seems well used, but cared for.

BACKSTORY:
Kaiellin T'vir, as she was born, is the scion of a human and turian union. She inherits a bit of her fiery nature from her 'Father', a former female smuggler. Her mother was oddly enough a commando hired to protect this smuggler. After several whirlwind tours and a goodly amount of war profiteering from various skirmishes, everyone involved was ready to move on. Early in Kai's life, while she claims otherwise, she ended up getting run over by a taxi. Normally, this isn't too bad a thing, except the driver (Who had been partaking of some fairly rough substances) attempted to cover up his indiscretions. The end result was the young Asari getting a new arm and leg. These, she often complains of when the humidity gets beyond a certain level. Her latest replacement and tuneup set even has a loose wire somewhere that causes an uncomfortable haze to twitch through her system when the temperature goes near freezing. She proudly wears her arm, it's a badge of honor anymore. The hidden blade has saved her bacon more than once when she's gotten into a hairy situation and lost her shotgun. The rest of her modifications, however, she wears with a lot of humility and embarrassment. Kind of like they were the thieves that snuck into the party.
Her training and ultimate deployment with Eclipse is a fairly simple affair. She's been hired by low-lifes to end the life of others for payment, at one time or another, and they were satisfied with the results. She dwells no further upon that, than if she were crushing the life from a vorcha. However, three incidents stick out in her mind. Her first kill to get into the Eclipse, her first kill as an eclipse mercenary... and the first Asari she destroyed.
Kai was pretty well fated to living off her trigger finger. Somewhere between charmed and odd-luck, she spent time between hatching her own schemes... Looking up to Omega's 'glorious' leader, and menacing others who hadn't paid there debts. She was a low-level enforce for a more than a few years just as a way to pay the bills, before she got her shot with the Eclipse. Little did she know that she'd be taking a vorcha Blood pack in hand to hand. Nor did she know that it would be her metal arm that saved the day. Nor did she know that she'd be rooting around inside said Vorcha looking for his heart with said hand. It was a crazy day. You understand. The Executioner pistol is her prize from that day, and it was also the first thing that opened up her eyes to needing a better way to deal with 'issues' ... it wasn't long after that she adopted the forearm blade in her arm. It didn't take her long to find a need to use it. A job requiring a light touch and silence ended up with her and her squad facing a bunch of angry Blue Suns, because the target was a shipment of Eezo they had earmarked for sale. Her first shotgun was taken from the Turian leader's corpse after she slit his throat from ear to ear.
