Ana'Therion vas Nedas

Quarian psychotherapist/dominatrix formerly based on Omega. Enjoys working on psych publications and forcibly 'reforming' slavers and pirates.

Daia T'Nara (asari_promiscuity)

A 398-year-old asari escort. She began her career dancing in clubs like many an asari in her Maiden phase, then moved into the sex industry proper, finding that she had rather a natural aptitude and inclination for it. She spent the next three centuries moving up in the industry on various worlds, including a profitable (if somewhat trying) period on Omega, which got her the finances to set up her current upper-middle-class independent escort business on Illium. Since joining CDN, she has begun a relationship with Ana'Therion.

  • Action Dress Rip: The non-dress equivalent, anyhow - the one time thus far as a CDN member she's been present when a crisis has occurred, when she was attending a costume party (in armour as a Spectre) when somebody was shot, her first reaction was to shed the armour, which was just a replica with no protective qualities, leaving her in just a bodysuit for ease of motion.
  • Air in a G-String: At one point in her career was a member of "The Omega-4some", a quartet of exotic dancers whose act revolved around the asari equivalent of violins.
  • Anything That Moves: She has devoted considerable time and effort to making cross-species encounters as enjoyable as possible, even by asari standards, from learning various languages for better pillow talk right up to commissioning a special encounter suit allowing her to entertain volus clients in their native atmosphere and pressure conditions.
  • Audio Erotica: Shortly after beginning their relationship in earnest, Ana resolved to get Daia to say "cellar door" at some point.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: By exotic dancer standards, at any rate. She's no commando, but she's proficient in a turian martial art, and has unusually precise biotic powers that she's quite prepared to employ to defend herself, regardless of normally having other uses for them.
  • Bio Augmentation: Has various genetic modifications suited to her profession, including limited dextro-resistance, enhanced flexibility, increased lung capacity, and so on.
  • Blue Skinned Space Babe: Standard for asari, but Daia goes the extra mile in the Ms. Fanservice sense of the trope.
  • Casual Kink: A large variety of kinks.
  • Combat Aestheticist: But only when sparring, when she'll incorporate dance moves into her martial arts for fun. On the infrequent occasions she's had to "really" fight, she doesn't muck around, and escapes at the earliest opportunity.
  • Cool Car: Her personal aircar is a Terran Talbot-Lago T150 SS, which she found as a display piece at an anqitue dealer and modified to fly with considerable help from fellow CDN member Thel'Adean.
  • Cool Ship: The Belle de Nuit, a former diplomatic courier shuttle, remodelled inside as Daia's personal love den. Regardless, retains its original speed, and though unarmed has been upgraded with very powerful ECM, thanks to contacts Daia's made during her career.
  • Ethical Slut: Formerly. Since falling for Ana, Daia has become socially monogamous, but still makes no excuses for enjoying the heck out of her work.
  • Everything Sounds Sexier in French: Which is why she's learning to speak it (although at first it was because she misunderstood the term "romance language").
  • Fan Girl: Dirk Black, Shi'ra: Priestess of Power.
  • Fantastic Arousal: Loves having her scalp massaged. Then again, she loves a lot of things.
  • Going Commando: Future-dresses evidently have inbuilt bust support, so Daia treats underwear as a whole as optional, although she often wears it for effect.
  • High-Class Call Girl: Not at the rarefied level of entertaining multi-billionaires and planetary rulers, but she does well for herself.
  • Love Redeems: Daia's effect on Ana'Therion; Ana wanted to put herself back together anyway, but has admitted that if it weren't for Daia, she'd probably have just given up.
  • Ms. Fanservice: Aside from her clients, Daia still dances on occasion, and has appeared in Fornax several times, in one erotic asari/hanar video game (providing the voice and motion-capture for a character), and recently in a supporting role in a major adult film; several forum members (on their players' own initiative) have fond recollections of her appearances.
  • Neutral Good
  • Noodle Incident: Happens often, with the board's PG-13 rating preventing her from explaining many of her past exploits in any detail; probably all that keeps her from publicly being a Fetish Fuel Station Attendant.
  • Playing to The Fetishes: Her standard approach to work. Anything (within reason) she doesn't naturally find arousing, she'll contemplate it until she can get herself into a mindset where she does, thus she adapts to be specifically into whatever clients are into.
  • Safe, Sane, and Consensual: Her sexual relationship with Ana'Therion is highly submissive and at times very intense, but is nonetheless wholly healthy and mutual.
  • Sergeant Rock: Daia's turian father, prior to retiring and settling down.
  • Shout-Out: The VI autopilot for Daia's ship is a holographic image of herself as she would look if human, which she named Sasha; Daia's appearance when photoshopped is based on Sasha Grey.
  • The Pollyanna: She's had her fair share of rough times, especially on Omega, and is active in awareness campaigns to improve safety in the sex industry, but is invariably cheerful in her personal outlook.
  • Wrench Wench: Reckons she could have been a pretty fair mechanic had she pursued it; tinkers with machines on occasion as a hobby, and has her own light aircraft (named Vixen) back at her family home which she maintained herself while living there.

Janice Amelia Proctor (j_proctor)

A 34-year old politican based mainly in Illium. A self-described "ethical industrialist, European parliamentarian and casual wit", Proctor balances her time between maintaing her seat in the European Parliament and attending to her business portfolio. For reasons unknown, her business ventures tend often to end in failure, if not litigation.

Linya M'Tanis (Scientific_Pursuits)

A two-hundred and forty seven year old asari maiden with a doctorate in Chemistry. Not that you could tell at first glance, considering her...enthusiasm.

Hok Ginnde

Turian sniper and incarnation of awesomeness, currently MIA at the moment.

TSS: So... cooking, Hok? Uh, you guys know I don't actually know how to cook, right? Oh, we are so boned.
Hok: Oh, I don't know. The stuff you cooked for me that one time on the Nialla wasn't half bad. Or at least, I don't think it was. My memories of that night are a bit...fuzzy to say the least. I'm sure you'll think of something though, I mean, you're ex-STG.

TSS: EX-STG AREN'T TRAINED TO COOK, HOK.

Nakalaxi Lorgrek (Kalla)

A cordial batarian slave broker who values ethics and professionalism.

Virnius Shin / Veritas 'Veri' Imperius (ArmaliShin)

A biotic turian middle-manager. Orphaned on Illium, he never became a citizen of the Turian Hierarchy and was raised by various street gangs until he was thrown out for demonstrating biotic abilities. He was saved by a slave broker and served a five-year term as an indentured servant before landing a job at the Armali Council.

It is later revealed that this is merely a cover story for his true identity; he is actually Veritas Imperius, the eldest son of Nouveau Riche parents who owned a successful theatrical production company. After deserting the Hierarchy on Shanxi, he tried to bribe his way off-world but couldn't access his parents' money and was made an indentured servant as a result.
