.: Name :.
Raziya Arauxo, Current pseudoname- Zahrah Nayyar
.: Gender :.
Female
.: Age :.
24
.: Race :.
Human
.: Appearance :.
Time has not changed her by too much as far as the basics... She is no taller than still 5'1” and weighing around 120 with added muscle mass that she does not fail to show to any of the taller soldiers that may tease her about her size. Her face continues to look younger than she really is, except for a scar that runs down the side of her face from temple to chin from past battles. What other little baby fat she had around her body it has been lost to her lithe and muscular figure. She is still light brown skinned, though occasionally she sports more of a tan when she can get by with finding a planet that provides ample sun. The darker she can get, the better. Her dark hair is now a solid black and kept in a short messy pixie cut, making her grey eyes stand out more. She is almost always found in light to medium armor and if she were found wearing casual clothes for some more covert mission or offshore leave (though she would still have armor on as often as she can) it is with clothing that covers her as much as possible, hiding the scars from months of torture that she hides well in her cold steely eyed look.
.: Class :.
Vanguard
.: Relationship Status :.
Raziya had no relationships on the Citadel and she still has no relationships since then. Zahrah, on the other hand, allowed rumors to spread through her fellow marines. She could not hide her hatred of humans from them, though she tried. There was rumors of that lovestruck fool back on Earth. But then there was that Asari on the Citadel during a brief stop, a turian she got drunk with at a bar at Elysium, and even a batarian merchant that she went back to often to upgrade her weapons during one of their stops. Rumors spread, many believe them, but who really knows the truth. The only fact anyone can confirm is that Zahrah has never been in any serious relationships since they've known her.

.: Personal History :.
She was born Raziya Arauxo but it was a long way until she became Zahrah Nayyar. Born in a space station, her mother was in the Alliance navy and her father was a marine. Razi grew up close to her parents and had been a child throughout the Contact War. An excited child, eager to learn about all the alien races. Her family settled on Elysium, after her father finally retired as well. As a young teenager on a planet which was a hub for alien activity as well, Razi became rebellious, getting into Red Sand among other things. She had trained with her father, who was then working in security, as far as shooting and combat. She was still close to him even during the addiction and rebellious phase. When he was betrayed by a friend and murdered, it really destroyed any future that she could have had. Her mother was gone mentally, her father no longer there, and Razi fell into a depression that led her to worse things than drugs. It led her to Cerberus...
It is a vague part of her history but it lasted a few years and enough for her to get into a position where getting out meant death. At 21, she took off for the Citadel without warning. Just her and her mother and only taking whatever they could carry. She had become mixed in a crowd whose charisma moved her, where their promises of change made her want to help. It wasn't until later when they turned into xenophobic zealots that called on the deaths of the any being besides humans, which she completely disagreed with. Her friends, people that were helping her come out of her depression, tried to brainwash her into their thinking. She had no idea her job as errand girl was passing information and equipment that were murdering aliens. Razi had no idea that it was her same “gang” that was actually responsible for those crimes and she unknowingly helped. So she ran, because by that time trying to get out meant death.
Her mother meant everything to her, her only family. She trusted no one, especially humans... A deep rooted hatred from betrayals, brainwashing, and insanity from those she called friends made her wary of her own kind except for her mother. She saw the greed, the zealots from who she thought were normal people, murderers and xenophobes... it disgusted her. The Citadel at least was a hub where humans were not in the majority. She did not get a job but instead took errands and the odd assignment from different criminal groups, always looking for cheap labor or someone to hire. She never allowed herself to become an established member, but her name got out. Her small figure was able to get around the Citadel and she was a quick learner and an accurate shot when needed. Only a year arriving and she had made a name for herself, but not too well. She made sure they knew her name but she was good at being incognito, a face that could easily fade into the background. Not to mention she refused to let anyone know that she lived with her mother, keeping her safe and helping her with credits.
It was the reason she took the Spectre's job offer, the amount of credits... And if C-sec knew her name and face, then she had to get into their good graces. She figured it was a suicide mission, regardless, but she left her mother a good sum of credits. Enough for her mother to finally quit the awful job and have the credits to survive while she finds a new one. Razi eventually sent her a message but she never returned, as she expected... She got into an assignment a lot bigger than she expected, the one thing she promised herself not to do. Too late.
Betrayed by Braig in Omega was painful and it broke her. She did not fight as much as she should have when they were captured, shocked as she was. It was one of those moments that she regrets to this day, pondering the what-ifs of that capture. During the torture it tormented her; Cerberus were not lenient, as they knew her past on Elysium and had finally captured the errand girl that knew too much and ran away. She had only scratched the surface, was unaware of Cerberus, but they did not care about it. They cared that she did not join. They experimented with implants, her biotics, and anything they could think of. It was a surprise she was still functional when Braig helped them escape. But with the sudden opportunity, anger engulfed her and her biotics were stronger than ever. Thanks to Cerberus. She had little hope of surviving the mission, and none at all since her capture, yet somehow she survived.
And then Raziya Arauxo disappeared.
Zahrah Nayyar came into existence not long after that. No one really met her before, yet somehow she showed up reporting for duty to her current unit as a well trained Alliance Marine. Born to two parents on Earth, grew up in the city, top of her classes, average childhood, average life... At age, she enlisted in the Alliance military. She excelled as a soldier but was average in her records during recruit training. It was all documented, but few witnesses... then again, they were so spread out that it was unlikely anyone that graduated with her was in her current unit. And those that somehow ran into her from Earth recruits, would say they remember a quiet dark woman but the name eludes them-- she looked so average, it was possible. Zahrah excelled in firearms, in biotics with the latest implants, and was above average in technology (little did they know, she was more than that). Somehow she became a genius in hacking for a short period of time, focusing gave her painful headaches, but she managed. She needed to. Zahrah was keeping an eye on Cerberus and made sure they never crossed paths. That they thought Raziya was gone for good, no word of her for almost two years. It was difficult to track her mother who had finally moved on to better living on the Citadel, who got an encrypted message from time to time that may have been from her long lost daughter, and was unaware at how much her daughter still protected her from afar.
While Cerberus was tracking the survivors, Zahrah Nayyar the marine in the Alliance military secretly tracked them. And she caught word occasionally on things that they were learning, how close they were getting. As soon as she got some leave time, she slipped away from the current base they were on, and took a ship to Omega.
.: Your Greatest Fears :.
Her main weakness is her mother right now... If her enemies know it, they are likely trying to find her. But with her skills she is doing her best to keep her mother hidden. Being tortured again is another major fear, and captured. Betrayal... she knows to fear it, and that it is likely to happen again. She won't believe herself to be immune to it any longer.
.: Body Markings :.
She has a surprisingly even scar that runs the length of the right side of her face, from temple to jaw with a nick on the side of her neck as well to anyone looking closely. After two months of torture, there are plenty more. Just not visible or purposely hidden well.
.: The Inner You :.
There was no happy life with Raz... The events of her past made her human hatred grow and distrust in everyone besides her mother. Still, she will always fulfill her obligation when she agrees upon something. Loyalty is a different thing... she may call someone like Felix and Bane a friend, after everything they had been through, but then again she started to like Braig as well and he went and betrayed them. Those closest to you are the ones you must be most wary, as she learned from her father, her own gang on Elysium turned Cerberus, and later on Omega with Braid. She will remain strongly loyal to “friends,” but that does not necessarily mean she will completely lower her guard to them. Pessimist to the end.
If she takes a job, she will do it, whether death or not occurs to her. But survival is something she does strive for, regardless... she is quiet, knows how to blend into the crowd, and uses her size to escape when she can.
She is trigger happy when it has to come down to that and too modest to say she is a good shot with a pistol. Her temper had never improved really, but she keeps it controlled as often as possible to keep from getting into trouble.
… Except Zahrah is not like Raz much. It was difficult but there are nuances that make them different enough not to attract attention for those that may have seen Raz before. Those on the Citadel, for example, may have looked twice (at least the few that did know Raziya Arauxo), but that laughing drunken marine would never have been that same woman. Would it? She is more easy to joke around with, sticks to humans as much as possible, and shows little of the human hatred that Raz had. It helps with avoiding faces that may know her, though marines had little to do at the Citadel so she had never been there long. Still, only those that were watching her closely would notice a sudden sneer towards a person, and would never figure she had a mutual hatred for all humans and not just that one person.
Zahrah was tough, brave, but modest like her alterego. She showed no tech skills (as she did her best to keep that part hidden) and loved to use biotics over her firearm skills whenever possible. All in all that is only a personality around her marines, because in reality she is Raz.
.: Weapon Of Choice :.
Assault Rifle, SMG, pistol
.: Other Info :.
At the start at least, I may flip flop around using Raziya's name with Zahrah's name. Same person though.
