Shade



Feriona Valinoer, more commonly known as "Shade," is a female humanoid simulacra and seasoned Seeker and Navigator.

She is owned by Esimed

Bio
Her full name is Feriona Valinoer and she was 'born' on Terminus with a non-psionic lineage. This is not an uncommon occurrence as the complex pattern of genes that facilitate and encourage the development of psionic abilities are artificial and present themselves randomly. She joined the Crucible before her ability to astral project manifested. She was a marginally qualified candidate for Seeker, but once her psionic gift revealed itself the focus of her training was shifted and she excelled as a navigator and “Nuller.” Shade has now been undertaking assignments as a full Seeker for ten years.

Life on Terminus has not been a walk in the park so Shade is accustomed to hard work along with the dangers and rewards of risk taking. She’s grown accustomed to the benefits and prestige that come with being a Seeker and it beats stealing from her neighbors or farming re-nutritioned soil blends.

Abilities
She's a competent pilot and navigator, but it’s her psionic ability to astral project that makes her most useful to the Seekers. She can hold her own in hand to hand combat and is proficient with most firearms.

She’s capable of two levels of astral projection: The lesser manifestation of her astral projection is seen as a blue aura swelling out from her body and is capable of sensing nearby attacks, disturbances and dangers with a split second's advanced warning. It is still up to Shade to respond and move fast enough to make use of the nimbus.

Full astral projection is an Out of Body Experience (OBE) requiring her to project completely free of her physical body leaving it unresponsive and vulnerable to attack. In this intangible plane of existence Shade can traverse vertical and horizontal distance with the same ease and pass harmlessly through solid matter. Velocity and acceleration are bound by the limitations inherent to mass and matter, but these do not exist on the astral plane. There are limits to the distance she can place between her body and astral form, but she hasn't explored those fully.
