HISTORICAL DETAILS
Born on Thessia, Ae’raya Arteto, was raised by her mother as is common Asari custom. Ae’raya was a very adventurous child, finding herself dissatisfied with the near perfection that Thessia provided. Since the first stories of the wide galaxy from her mother, Ae’raya was looking for a way out, and soon found that way by hunting for the village, as if she was born rifle in hand proving to have a remarkable sharpshooting talent. Eventually being chosen for her now blossoming biotic talents to become part of the villages Asari Commando unit. Asides from her above average biotic skill, Ae’raya found accuracy with her rifle growing to almost uncanny levels. These gifts proved to be a curse as she was left with some of the drollest duties imaginable. She soon found herself growing tired of the village, though she enjoyed being one of few skilled enough to be selected she found the boredom to be crushing. She was enchanted by the stories she heard about the City Commandos, of their advanced gear and larger units that the Village Matron (Her mother) often shared. Ae’raya trained hard as she could for twenty years, finding solace from the boredom within her training.
As the years dragged on, Ae’raya’s mother could see the wander lust in her daughter’s eyes, and hear of her digressions within a nearby city. Ae’raya was the rebellious teenager, sure of her own invincibility. Her mother simply could not let her daughter’s behavior and arrogance grow any more. Ae’raya was soon contacted to join the Armali Sniper unit, an elite group of Asari commandos famous for their long range precision, nearly unheard of as the young Asari was only one hundred and twenty years old. As a young recruit Ae’raya was in awe at the skill possessed by her other comrades, and soon her second set of training became a real competition for her. Finally meeting a group of people who could challenge her skill with a rifle, Ae’raya was ecstatic.
Though little more than a teenager, Ae’raya proved to be a skilled sniper. Tracking targets with greater subtly, taking her shots masterfully, and slipping out. As time went on, she found herself not just happy, but content. Traveling the galaxy, proving her skill, rinse and repeat was a joy for her. She proved to not only be a cold and relentless operative, but also skilled enough to find urban targets. This led to Ae’raya’s first real disaster within the Armali. Her own arrogance led to her partner (in the field and in melding), unused to having to make contact so close being captured and tortured. Ae’raya never even got an open shot, this was a major black mark on her psyche. Only one hundred and sixty, it scarred Ae’raya to have let down someone she considered her sister so completely. Ae’raya soon became distant with any member of the Armali being assigned to be her new partner. Ae’raya soon was left to work solo, if only because the officers just did not trust Ae’rayan’s emotional nature.
They soon discovered after many more missions, that Ae’raya was still a skilled operative and team player. She just didn’t like working in very close proximity, like she would with her partner. Camping out in blinds and nests, body against body for days at a time, waiting for that perfect shot. This led to Ae’raya being put back onto sentry and over watch missions, but she honestly was fine with this turn of events. Time if no maturing her, causing her to be more methodical. Leaving herself to her own thoughts, waiting for some action was the closest she got to therapy. Every now and again Ae’raya would get selected to hunt a smuggler or group of mercenaries that the Council deemed “To minor for a spectre” or from the Asari Home Government “To minor to send a Commando squad.” Her ability to operate alone, and infiltrate illicit organizations proved useful.
She was just past two hundred years old when she was moved to more static assignment in the name of good faith by the Asari. Due to her surprising people skills, being a part of a joint racial military operations was an obvious progression. She found herself stationed on Ontarom, a communication hub and human colony, bonding with the men and woman of the colony as a counter sniper. Leading to her call sign by the human soldiers and colonists: Artemis. After the Greek Goddess of the Hunt. After winning a cowboy hat in a card game, she earned a new nickname as well “Big Game” if only because she always looked like she was going on a safari with her big hat and bigger gun. Ae’raya never melded with any of the colonists but soon formed a close bond that seemed to heal any trauma from before. To the point she adopted human military fatigues instead of the tight Asari casual wear commandos favored.
That is when the Reaver’s managed to break through the Human Eigth Fleet’s primary defense. Ae’raya was right at home as her mission changed to “harassing” the Reaper fleet. This meant good hunting, with Ae’raya helping the other survivors to reclaim the communication station. Even with the occasional sandstorm, Ae’raya proved to be a valuable asset. Her rifle providing much needed support for the other men and women she was determined to protect. She became something of a hero, for that small group who made it off Ontarom. Basking in the praise and gifts, Ae’raya was happy again but not content. All the excitement reminded her of what it meant to be alive and active. During a much needed break, she was called to the Citadel for an important mission. Rather than bemoan her fate, she packed up her trusted rifle and hat, ready for the next challenge.
