Sex: female
Age: born 2514
Appearance: (character sketches to follow.)
Height: 6'2" pre-augmentation,
6'6" post-augmentation.
Weight: 74k pre aug, unknown post aug.
Build: Athletic but shapely. Perfect genetics. A dancer/swimmer from the arms out and the legs down, soft an opulent as Marilyn herself in the middle. Muscular and defined without losing her femininity.
Hair: Brilliant red, brushes the top of her butt. She usually wears it in a pony-tail or bun. So it works with her armors helmet, she braids it in a tight cornet. It is the one regulation she refuses to follow, and she is moved through so many different bases/ships/commands no one has made her change it yet.
Eyes: A bright and piercing emerald green. Her eyes are normally as hard (and hard to read) as the stone they resemble. Flecks of silver and gold show up based on her mood.
Skin tone: An Irish creme with a tiny sprinkle of freckles across her nose and cheeks, as well as two moles directly under her left eye. She has never tanned, never having time or leisure for it, and combat gear covers a person effectively, so her creme skin is nearly luminescent.
Clothes: off duty she normally lounges in PT gear, and somehow makes it look good. On duty she is either in her bdu's, her officer gear, or her mjoliner armour.
Weapon(s): Being a commando, she is well versed in the pistol, rifle, shotgun, and nearly every weapon in between. Due to her experience, she is well trained in Covenant weapons as well.
Vehicle(s): Warthog, pelican, saber, odst pod.
Skills: Elexa is a commando, born and raised. She excels at frontline combat, tactics, weapons, and leadership. She has a soldier's charisma that makes people want to follow her, even if only because she has survived so many campaigns.
Powers: Superior strength, stamina, intelligence, reaction speed, memory, and instinct.
Status: Single/in love with John-117 (knows nothing will ever come of it)
Orientation: Bi
History:
2514-Born on Reach. Her first 6 years was soent undergoing constant tests and treatments. She was in near constant pain from the rate of growth. She was isolated from other children, and was only around her mother and the doctors.
2520-Moved to Earth to attend school. Lived in the UK. Attended a private school close to her mother's ONI lab, and was taken for treatment and tests regularly.
2527-2531 Attended a prestigous military academy. Showed remarkable leadership skills, graduated top of her class.
2531-Joined the Marines
2532-Graduated basic training and is unceremoniously black-bagged after the celebration
2532-Elexa is the only survivor of her first mission. Her mission report reads like a horror vid, of Inies and chemical weapons that drove her team crazy and mutated their bodies. The leader of the team and her managed to make it to the evac site, where he was killed by automatic defenses.
2532-2535-Elexa ran unconventional warfare/direct action with the Marines
2535-Was accepted into the ODSTs
2435-2542 Elexa continued to specialize and excel in unconventional warfare, direct action, and counter-insurgency operations. Was given command over her own group of ODSTs called the Mauraders. It wad also during this time she first encountered the Master Chief. He saved her life on the battlefield, and spent the next couple days fighting with her through the Covenant forces to their base. He never spoke to her during this time. She would cross paths with him several times after this, though never for very long
2542-Recruited for the Spartans and discovered her father was part of the Orion project, later called Spartan 1s.
2542-2544-Elexa and other 1.1s undergo augmentation and training. Elexa's experience leads her to command the group. (Information on the other 1.1s available as well.)
2544-
-Elexa returns to the war, where she fights alongside regular soldiers and spartans.(Additional history can be given to catch up to the year the game takes place.)
Personality (optional): Elexa is passionate, cold, unapproachable, smirks rather than smiles, intelligent, a brilliant tactition, impulsive to a fault, loves to be an ODST, thrives on missions that burn other people out, loves to laugh, listens to rock music, and is generally a walking paradox. She knows what she likes and doesn't like, and can warm up to people, will do everything to protect her squad, and yet understands that soldiers die.
Quirks: Unknown to Elexa, her mother started augmenting her before she was born. Her mother was a geneticist on the Orion project, and wanted to breed the perfect spartan. Elexa is the result of that. She guards herself behind a veneer of wit and sarcasm, until she trusts someone enough to let them in. She bites her bottom lip when she is nervous or unsure.
Pets: None
Home: Born on Reach, raised on Earth, spends most of her time on a ship or in combat planetside. She feels most at home engaged in combat, or in the company of Spartans. She used to feel at home with other ODSTs, but since her augmentation she feels a divide between herself and standard soldiers.
Occupation: Soldier/Spartan/Commando
