Eraya Valentine

Eraya Valentine (Crow),

Time is movin' slow; cos I got me

Eraya has a very stoic, serious personality. She tends to keep a composed, cool head in most situations and her face also tends to reflect that in an impassive mask. Her eyes rarely lose their edge of seriousness and she’s borderline pessimistic at times, because she has a tendency to speak blatant truths, even if they might be considered offensive to present company.

Despite her icy demeanor, she does not go out of her way to be cold or rude to anyone, simply maintaining a distance of formality. She also has a strong sense of justice and empathy for life, and looks down upon acts of cruelty or the like. Because of this, she does not always agree with how other people might behave, especially towards minority races such as Cyborgs or Magi. She also has an acute distaste for the Hunter’s Guild because of their cruelty towards previously mentioned.

However, she also has a very strong sense of duty, and will follow orders by her superiors with strict obedience. This has conflicted with her sense of empathy before, but has usually won out. When dealing with negative or personal issues, Eraya tends to close up on herself and distance herself from everything, in a way of ‘running away from her problems’. It all falls down to a key factor in her personality, where Eraya tends to blame herself for most of the things that happen around her.

Her Call sign in military operations is Crow.

Her hair is Coal Black in coloration, reaching down to the base of her neck in the back and past her eyes in the front. She rarely sets it in any certain way, letting it fall however it likes around her face. Choppy in cut and style as she cuts it herself.

Eraya's has Icy blue eyes reminiscent of light reflecting off an iceberg or glacier. Dark blue at the very outer edge of the iris, slowly transitioning to nearly white near the pupil, giving her eyes the platinum blue coloration. When light is shined on it, it appears almost translucent, like ice. In the darkness, it looks more like a solid cyan or teal coloration.

Her body structure is as expected of someone from a military background, with a lithe shape that tapers down from the shoulders to midriff, then widening again slightly from midriff to waist. She has fairly lean muscles, with not much visible definition but it's definitely evident when touched. Her stomach is smooth, with the smallest hints of a line accentuating the top-most musculature of her abdominal muscles, and a gentle V-cut which accents her hipbones. Her chest fills out at a modest B.

She is 5 feet 9 Inches / 175 cm in height, and weighs 130 lbs / 59 kilograms.

Her skin is a pale white coloration, similar to ivory. She has no tattoos but she does have numerous scars. A bullet scar is on the front of her left thigh with another, smaller bullet scar on her right shoulder. She has 6 small circular cigarette scars on her upper left arm, several long scars down her back from various different injuries, covering most of her back in long lines, some crossing over one another.


Eraya's fashion sense is quite simple. She prefers dark, muted colors that are a fine blend of practicality and fashionable, preferring the former over the latter. Her casual wear can vary, but it's usually some form of top, a jacket or sweater over if it's cold, with a pair of pants. She rarely wears skirts, and when she does, it's always long ones.
Her uniform during office hours is standard issue uniforms for Officers, with her rank of Lieutenant Colonel on her shoulders and collar.
Her uniform in Operations usually consists of dark monochrome Urban-Hex Camo pattern set of both combat shirt and combat pants, with elbow guards, knee guards and black combat boots going up to mid-shin level. A black belt loops around her waist over the combat shirt, with a holster for her handgun on the left hip. She wears a very light-weight based plate carrier, protecting only the rib region with a sheet of kevlar. A few pouches are attached on the harness for carrying other small objects. Her combat shirt has a hood as well, custom for her, as she foregoes wearing a helmet. Black fingerless-gloves protect her hands.

Extended Family
N/A


Eraya’s childhood was pretty normal as childhoods go, but for the distinct difference of the fact that her mother was a Magi. Her mother disappeared when Eraya was only 3 years old, and as such, Eraya has no memory of her. Eraya also did not happen to inherit her mother’s side, remaining fully human just like her father.

Growing up, Eraya hated how many people were treated so cruelly and poorly for being born as something that wasn’t the same as everyone else, and even her father was sometimes outcast by others for having been married to a Magi. She faced some form of bullying when she was younger, and did not have many friends, as the parents of other children didn't want their children to be friends with 'a Magi bastard'.

Having a somewhat lonely youth, she spent most of her time studying and furthering her progress in school. But she knew her calling was elsewhere, and in her early-mid teens, she had decided to join the military. Eraya joined cadet training when she was 16 and graduated with full distinction to join the military at 18, despite all the setbacks due to her less-than-accepted origins. However, Her father died when she was 19, due to cancer although he had never told her that he was sick. She had never noticed either, having spent so much time away from home for training as well as for her job once she graduated, and it was after his death that was what started Eraya’s downcline in terms of her long-term mood, as she blamed herself for not taking care of her father better. She started getting more distanced and quieter. More serious. She distracted herself from the pain she felt by working harder and better.

When she was still 19, Eraya was amongst a squad deployed during the Magi Genocide. She witnessed first had at the cruel acts done by the Hunter’s Guild. She saw them executing people who had only wanted to escape. And, regrettably, she had also killed some herself, following orders with cold, cold indifference as she shoved her anguish and pain down deep into herself. She saw members of her squad taking joy and triumph over the deaths of the Magi and she felt disgusted, both with them and herself for being a reason for those deaths.

She then spent the next few years training through hell to get her status as a recognized members of the Sharpshooter Corps in the military, earning the officer rank of Lieutenant Colonel when she was 25. She never really made friends that well in the Corps, but maintains a generally warm relation with most people in the military, who see her as a respected officer.

She possesses and usually carries three weapons into her operations.
One is her primary weapon, a custom designed High Caliber Sniper Rifle nicknamed "Silence". It's black in coloration, 4 feet long when fully assembled (The barrel is usually detached unless in use), with a bipod underneath the barrel for stabilization. It has a magazine capacity of 5 shots and a 8x scope, allowing for very long-range engagements. The gun needs to be 'warmed' before every shot, which is done by half-pressing the trigger, which will cause the internal systems of the gun to start up, making it hum very quietly. After a second of this, the trigger can be fully pressed, shooting a round that has enough force to punch a football sized hole through a brick wall. However, the 'warming' mechanism means it cannot be rapidly fired, and as it is also bolt action, ammo has to be manually cycled after every shot.

Her second weapon is a standard high-capacity semi-automatic pistol with 12 rounds.

Her final weapon is a knife with a 3 inch long blade, tucked into her right boot, serrated on one side. She only uses this to cut through things and rarely in combat, as she avoids close engagements when possible.
