Physical Description:
She has a toned body, she's very attractive and is stronger than she looks. Iyika doesn't have lungs like other humanoids; she has gills placed around her eyes. There is a unique vascular structure behind her eyes around her brain to make this possible; her nose and mouth are joined to this network. She can breathe underwater and in very thin atmospheres. (When she's out of breath the small gill flaps can be seen moving over her eyes. They also form a protective skin layer over her eyes while underwater). She also has a tattoo on her back of a wolf howling in front of a full moon.

Professional History:
Iyika joined the Acaran military at an early age and specialised in sniper training, blade combat, unarmed combat, and military strategy. She's not allied herself with any 'one' group. She's worked for the Empire, the Rebel Alliance, Jedi, Banker's Guild, Thief Guild and more. She works where the money is.

Background:
Iyika was born on the second moon of her home world, a dangerous moon if you're not familiar with the inhabitants; the moon holds some of the most wondrous animals but also some of the most deadly. Iyika's family was killed during the war with another alien race. The war grew and lasted 39 human years. Iyika was adopted by a very mysterious and dangerous man named A'Kin, though his race is uncertain his influence within Iyika's people is vast.

Iyika joined the Acaran military much to her father's disapproval but he supported her and followed her career. Iyika passed the strict and harsh training which included a six month period in the wild jungles and marshland covering the Second Moon. Many don't make it that far and those who do, over 15% drop out. She entered the war in the last stages and on one of her missions she was captured and spent three months in a military prison. She was questioned and interrogated for much of her time there, until she was broken out by her father and a small squad of elite soldiers.

She remained in the military for 62 years fighting for her people and their interests, gaining rank of Colonel before retiring. It was then she turned to the profession as professional assassin, spy, and bounty hunter (much like her father).

She spent a considerable time with her father over a hundred years. She was given an A.I. with a new ship for a birthday present but at the time Iyika had no idea if in fact it was her birthday. She still has the A.I. which continues to serve her even though it has a warped sense of humour. During her time with her father she learned much from his vast knowledge and experience in the galaxy but never going into much detail.

Like all young children the time came to fly the nest, or ship in this case, and she headed off by herself into the galaxy. She found work, but at the start it was mainly information gathering. That was when she met Anna and fell in love with her. They stayed together for 20 glorious years until Anna died during a flight accident coming into land on Coruscant. A drunken pilot flying a small cargo vessel into the side of the transport ship, there were no survivors.

Leaving Coruscant Iyika travelled the galaxy, returning to work after spending the time with Anna spending her life savings, as Anna didn't approve of the way she made a living. It didn't take long before Iyika found her feet: it was like making love you never forgot and it was the same with killing. At the start she only took simple jobs on but then the jobs became more and more difficult and with that the pay increased dramatically.

One of her assignments was to kill a Jedi getting too close to information the Empire didn't want him or the Jedi Order to find. Iyika found the Jedi and after a great struggle killed him. She took his damaged lightsaber as a trophy, and it still rests in her room on her ship as a reminder never to underestimate a Jedi even in the slightest; that one almost cost her more than a few creds. The many years that followed Iyika found her going from one planet to another, from one job to another and she has been doing it ever since.

She has no loyalties to the Empire, Rebels or her other clients only going where the money is and remains that way until she finds something, or someone to tie her down.

Personality:
She has a sharp animal instinct honed by her six month survival training and her life with her father, A'Kin. She's had some lovers but nothing permanent as her work always comes between her and the women she meets, so at the moment she's on the look out for a new 'mate'. She doesn't trust doctors after spending three months in the military prison where she was interrogated for information of which she knew nothing about; the doctors were the interrogators.

Vehicle of Choice:
She has one ship, an attack freighter similar looking to the infamous Millennium Falcon, but this ship is coloured jet black with no markings on its hull of any kind. Some of the ship is organic but most is cybernetic. The ship has a revolutionary A.I. called Oz which lives within the ship, controlling all its systems; the A.I. also has a neural link with Iyika.

Form of Dress:
She wears a large, thick black coat which seems much too big for her. The material appears to be a strange silk but it's tough and very strong. The coat also has a metal mesh within its material, providing armour protection against blasters. She isn't interested in fashion or the latest designs. If she sees something she likes and it's comfortable, odds are she'll buy it.

Normally, she wears tight fitting clothing while working, ones that hug her curves but don't hinder her movements. She sticks to usually dark colours going for black, dark blue.

Superhuman Powers and Abilities
She has the ability to 'Shift,' becoming completely invisible. She can breathe underwater and in very thin atmosphere. Also, she has an excellent sense of smell and vision.

Abilities and Skills:
Iyika carries many pistols, disrupters, and rifles. She is an expert in many forms of martial arts, if not all an excellent marksman with a strange gift at vanishing out of situations without warning or trace.
