Character
♦ General
Often going by "Kova" or "Oko", she is not a normal Seeker by any means. At a young age she was taken in and made an experiment by the Life Science Research Facility (LSRF). She underwent quite a number of life-changing experiments, including educational brainwashing and being branded with a runic design known as the 'Pivot'. She is extremely interested in the research that the LSRF does, and is still learning to accept what is morally right and wrong based on the research she enjoys. Currently, she is unemployed and no longer accepted by specific research organizations; she must now take her love for science and use it for something else.
♦ Appearance
Kovasi has no scars or visible signs of tissue damage on her body. Her hair is dark brown in color; occasional red streaks may be seen in it. Her clothing consist of a large selection of shirts and miniskirts and rarely pants, and and she never wears a long skirt. She often wears a simple pair of glasses or goggles. She keeps her hair long, tied, and parted over her shoulder.
♦ Behaviour
Often rather eccentric and friendly, Kovasi is not shy by any means and is known to approach random strangers to ask about their life, goals, thoughts, and other random questions based on their responses. She is never one to try to talk about herself, but more rather to get a story out of an individual she may approach. Strangely enough, she is fascinated by storytelling and will constantly ask for more stories or events about a stranger's life. Her interest is greatly sparked when it comes to stories or subjects about manipulation, slavery, and deceit.
♦ The Pivot
A complex marking branded onto her upper back, the Pivot drained many of Kovasi's emotions, outright removing some of them and leaving the others as dull and muted. The Pivot was recently removed from her body and now Kovasi is slowly learning to come to terms with the depth of her newfound emotions.
♦ Life Science Research Facility
The Life Science Research Facility is a series of underground laboratories that focus on illegal research funded by private investors to understand the world and ultimately advance past Allagan technology. Their research is split up into a ranking system of research lethality-ratings:
E-Class Research: Simple aether manipulation and crystal dynamics.
D-Class Research: Advanced aether manipulation and crystalline-structure dynamics.
C-Class Research: Basics and Advanced microcell and DNA life research.
B-Class Research: Object transmutation and Reverse-engineering Allagan technology.
A-Class Research: Extreme research on life transmutation/transmigration and cross-realm transportation with Aether.
S-Class Research: The most extreme research takes S-class. It is never talked about, and many don't even know what it fully consists of outside of those working on it...
Combat
Kovasi will avoid combat and engaging in battle whenever she can. Only under certain and rare conditions will she actually fight should she be forced to.
When in battle, Kovasi is a glass cannon: Using a powerful firearm at a ranged distance to properly keep a distance from the enemy. Should she be stuck in melee range, she will result to either firing pointblank or using a pair of combat daggers instead.
Traits and Abilities
Aetherial Vampire: Unable to digest food properly, she must use other means to provide her body with the nutrients it needs to sustain itself. This means she will occasionally "drink" from the aether of those around her that she knows is clean and not corrupted.

Beliefs and Views
The Gods:
She does not hold strong in the belief of the Guardians/Gods nor in the Primals; she cannot see a fine difference between the two. She feels like the Gods have never helped her, so she strongly believes in taking her destiny and life into her own hands. While she will never argue or actively disagree to those that do put their faith in them, she does not see any reason for herself to do so.
Seeker Culture:
Feeling that the Seeker tribal way of life is very primitive, Kovasi shuns it. She believes that Miqo'te should act more like Hyurs and not like "cats". She is strongly against things such as purring and hissing and will argue her point that they are able to be "controlled" and are not "natural" at all to do. She looks down on Miqo'te that happen to keep to their tribal roots or so much as purr.
The Garleans:
Her desire and lust for technology has greatly influenced her take on Garleans and their technology. She does not see them as bad people, but rather looking after their their own interests. Her opinion of the Garleans could have been influenced by the fact the LSRF was funded in part by private Garlean investors.

Player Character Rumours
- ■ " Oko? She's an interesting one, to say the least. She'll ask silly, inappropriate questions, so don't let it get to you. She might cause a lot of trouble, but...I know she means well. Even if we don't get along.. " - Yhah Dazkar
- ■ " Kovasi is my everything. She's brilliant, creative, clever and more than a little mischievous. Show her that you're smart enough to look past the surface and you might just earn her respect. " - Cordelia Maren
