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 Foundation (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 working as the Head Researcher of the Soul of the Sword Applied Aetheric Science Division where she has taken her love of science and aetheric manipulation to use it for the better investment of the Company.

♦ Appearance

---

Kovasi has no scars or visible signs of tissue damage on her body. Her hair is dark brown in color; occasional colored streaks may be seen in it. Her clothing consist of a large selection of shirts and miniskirts, long skirt, and rarely pants. She often wears a simple pair of glasses. She keeps her hair long, tied, or parted over her shoulder.

♦ Behaviour

---

Often rather eccentric and friendly, Kovasi is not shy 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: She will channel and siphon aether accordingly to manipulate the world and objects around her. However, due to her having keep focus and concentrate in order to properly channel large amounts of aether, she is often very vulnerable and prone to attacks and even over-doing it by immolating her own aether.

Traits and Abilities

Aetherial Vampire: Unable to digest food properly due to her body being composed of a strange form of converted aether, 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. Strangely enough, liquids do not seem to have a negative effect as food does.

Resetting Machinization: [DATA EXPUNGED]

Hematology and Toxicology: What she lacks in medications and healing she makes up for in her knowledge of poison, venom, and even chemical relations to the blood of specific life-forms.

Doppelganger Effect: Kovasi is capable of splitting her form by sacrificing her own aetherial units. While both halves are present, her overall aether is cut in half, as well as her personality that splits among both sides.

Blood of the Wraith: [DATA EXPUNGED]

Aetherial-Predatory Senses: While not able to see or hear aether, Kovasi can very much smell and taste it along with her normal abilities to sense it.

Aether-Siphoning Mastery: From years spent on siphoning and converting aether almost constantly due to her vampirism , her abilities have evolved into quite the powerful tool at her disposal; even able to create a reverse-siphon effect in manipulating the aether of normal individuals and from the environment around her.

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. Recently, however, she has stumbled upon questioning knowledge that she might have been worshipping Hydaelyn without realizing it, she is slowly converting more into being a following of the Mother Crystal.

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.

Relationships

*Icons best seen in IE or Firefox(Google Chrome doesn't like them)*

❤ Spouse ● Close Friend ● Good Friend ● Neutral ● Hostile

Revered: The closest of friends to Kovasi's heart. ❤ Cordelia Maren – Kovasi's spouse, Cordelia has been extremely patient with her, teaching Kovasi to understand many of the feelings she had lost to the Pivot. These two have been through so much together, and Kovasi has grown so attached to Cordelia, that more than just her own emotions have been anchored to her. "Cordelia, you are the love of my life; I'll never let your light fade out." ● Gilawafe Archimtirios – The Roegadyn that set the gears in motion. Kovasi sat down one night and asked this stranger a story of his past; what he provided would forever start to change Kovasi as she felt a deep connection to his story. Since then, the two have become very close. His words hold strong and powerful in Kovasi's mind. "Always so sad and raining when you are around. I hope you'll smile again one day." ● Serris Le'omend – An interesting character. Serris has grown rather close to Kovasi. She has since undergone a strange polymorphic effect that Kovasi is found fascinated in researching and helping her with this strange effect. "I appreciate all the aid you have given and your help with everything. We'll find a way to help you!" ● Ailya Grey – The rebirth form of Yauna Shai. She has since become a Midlander that seems to not remember anything of her past aside from a slight sense of familiarity. Kovasi had actually strongly encouraged her taking of a new life in that she should see to a second chance without restoring her memories based on how things in the past had went that started taking a toll on her sanity. She is now eager to help her in her new life! "I'll still always see you as my closest friend, to me, you'll always be Yauna, even if you are now somebody else. " Acquaintances: Those that Kovasi would consider a friend. ● Yhah Dazkar – This strange Au ra is always getting into trouble. Unfortunately, she does not stand close to Kovasi, nor even understand much about her. "You have your own problems to worry about, as do I. However, you are a very fascinating creature to study." ● Xera Nadahl – The only other Miqo'te that Kovasi has met to not actually purr. She dropped a meteor on one of the old facilities she was working for; easily by the far the most powerful friend that Kovasi knew before she left on a long journey outside of Eorzea. "Such a twisted and warped past - Cordelia and I will keep your journal safe." ● Samara Ampoeah – A goblin-speaking Miqo'te. Samara has easily been the subject to one of Kovasi's interest. Her words speak in such a way, that almost nobody can really even understand what she is saying. However, this might pose that there is something deep lurking within her. "You look so much like an old friend I used to know..." ● J'khar Tia – Another researcher that Kovasi ran into. These two immediatly clicked when they found out they share the same subject. "Another researcher!? Aah, how wonderful!" ● O'zinba Tia – The only other O'tribe Seeker that Kovasi has met. They have almost nothing in common aside from sharing the same tribal name. However, he is a friend that shared what his branch of the O' tribe consisted of; giving Kovasi an idea of what they are all about. "...Another O' tribeman, wow uh... ...huh..." ● Lyon Nitsua – The one who has been there for Cordelia and Kovasi when they both needed it. After dealing with an inner conflict Lyon was facing, they delved deep into his past. Since then, Kovasi has started feeling closer to Lyon. Truly and honestly, able to call him a friend. "You've done so much for us, Lyon - cannot thank you enough." ● Travanaire Levesque – Unfortunately, Travanaire always seems to get the worst of what happens when he gets involved in Kovasi's affairs. Everything from being captured by the Life Science Research Facility to being stranded in the Pivot realm. If anything, this has made the Elezen a lot stronger and one able to understand more to that of what is Kovasi. "He has been through so much, he doesn't deserve this; he really doesn't." ● Rheha Quinn – The wife of Lyon Murcery. Kovasi thinks that Cordelia looks up to her; after an event where Cordelia and Kovasi went into the mind of Lyon, Kovasi learned that her and Rheha have quite a lot in common... "We are much more closer than I had thought, I'm sorry what you went through." ● Zana'to Ranu – Zana'to is a retired Maelstrom unit that has more of a closer connection with Cordelia and Kovasi. Not to say they don't get along. Zana'to as proven to be quite an interesting fellow with his use of an axe and 'brother' like connection to Lyon. "I'm pretty sure you think I should be behind bars... If not at least once given things that have happened... Aheheh..." ● A'khebica Ranu – The wife of Zana'to, Khebica always came off as an assassin type to Kovasi. Rather harsh and cruel on the outside, Kovasi thinks she is much softer on the inside. "...I'm pretty sure you don't like me." ● Lutie Reingarde – Lutie is the only child Kovasi actually liked. She was a unique young girl that somehow found a research document page on what she called the "PAI" man; this was actually experiment-274. Kovasi has not seen her for a while, but actually hopes she is doing alright. "Such a small and adorable little one, I hope you'll be okay..." ● R'abedh Thish – Met when she visited Cordelia at the company mansion in Mist, Thish is but a year older that Kovasi. She mentions hailing from some sort of academy and having a lover she is fond of dearly. Slowly but surely, she is starting to see Thish more as a sister. "Never had quite an open conversation with any other friend than I have with you." ● Amerida Baker – An individual that met Kovasi at the Wench. She does not understand much about Amerida, but has tried to learn more, but alas, seeming to always have something come up, or something entirely new prevents Kovasi from really learning about her. "You always have the best reactions whenever I talked about a not-to-normal subject! It amuses me greatly!" ● Antheros Riesling – An Elezen she met at the Wench; soon again in Gridania where she was invited to his home. They talked and learned of each other for quite a while. "Fascinating to say the least, I hope to learn more about you soon enough." ● Solutaris Tercias – One of Kovasi's first friends. He was an old monk that served the Garleans, shared his interesting stories with Kovasi. Almost even looking after her in helping her when she first started getting involved with the LSRF. "...Not sure what happened to you, Solutaris. I do hope I'll see you again though..." ● L'ohra Tia – Very early chemistry almost happened between these two. However, lack of information, it would not have gone far. L'ohra was a Miqo'te that was good at carpentry, even boarded with Kovasi for a short bit when she first got a room at the company's mansion in Mist. "I'm not sure what I'm going to tell you if you come back. I kept your stuff secured, but, You just upped and went missing..." ● V'enna Nunh – Kovasi does not care to much for Ven, however, his other counterpart, Vinny, has proven to be semi-reliable to her. Though, she does not have trust extended trust in either of them. "I like Vinny more." ● Talucien Solenheim – A Hyur Midlander that was not native to Eorzea encountered a few times with Yauna, though they have not had much involvement and even less exchange of words. "You are a quiet one, interesting for sure. " ● Mithra Thorne – A magitek engineer that had a very nifty-looking suit of armor and talked of a prison chamber among the company's private rooms. A recent shenanigan has resulted in a change to their identity as well. "That suit of armor was really fascinating! You must share more stories sometime!" ● Sin Faye – Soul of the Swords Company leader along with Casa. She helped Kovasi find a home for her family and has placed her in officer position to help oversee the company. "Thank you so much for what you have done for us! We really do appreciate it more than we can show. " ● Casa Kai – Soul of the Swords Company leader along with Sin. She works alongside with Sin and has a deep respect from Kovasi not just from being the company officer, but also with her connection to being a shaman. "I heard you can see into the souls of people! That is really fascinating, I'd request to study it sometime!" ● Rosik Ren – A seeker that helps command over the Soul of the Swords Company. She seems to manifest with darkness much like Gilwafe does and loves Chocobos. "You have a weird accent. I can't even really try to mimic it. Also you wear pajamas everywhere, which i find rather interesting." ● Kudros Crendraven – An interesting midlander that had a rather unique weapon named Sess. This weapon was sentient and composed of a strange form of aether that allowed it to turn into that of a girl with long hair. "A lot of people seem to dislike you. I don't quite see the fuss though, really. Sess is also rather awesome as well! ...If not a bit dangerous." ● K'lyhhia Tihr – A seeker that is stripeless and wears a tuxedo quite often. Kovasi had not had too many encounters with her, but from what she has seen, she feels she is not a very capable fighter. "You wear a tuxedo a lot. I actually cannot understand your reasoning for some things, I have to admit. You are quite the strange one." ● Cotota Dazkar – A Xaela Kovasi occasionally runs into. She feels that Cotota can say what she wants about you, but she'll get mad if you say something bad about her back. Kovasi finds her rather stereotypical for an Au ra. "You are really boring, I suppose that's why making you mad is so much fun!" ● Videra Svenay – An interesting Highlander that utilizes her inner beast like a warrior does. She is a curious individual that seems to remind Kovasi of Gilawafe a little bit. "You are, by far, the last person I want to piss off!" ● Azurae Vellis – An Elezen pyromaniac that is absolutely obsessed and infused with the essence of fire to the point of burning and exploding everything around her. She is a perfect parring for Kovasi! "One day, we are SO going to drop a meteor!" ● Vallerin Dauremant – An Elezen that seems rather deperessed and way to serious for Kovasi. He does not trust her science experimentation at all and is very much against it. "Simply, it's just a misunderstanding! I do get people's consent for experimentation first!" ● Sarethi Indoril – An Alchemist that is deeply terrified of Spiders. Kovasi actually met her by helping her deal with a spider problem! "We need to sit down, have tea, and talk about our research!" Deceased: The life cut short of those that are no longer existing. ● Yauna Shai – A Keeper maelstrom captain Kovasi met at the Wench. She is fascinated by her deep Limsan accent, personal dark secrets, involvement in the calamity, and the company that she keeps around. She soon grew and became Kovasi's best friend. Do to an Allagan research experiment known as Project: Risen. Yauna suffered a terrible fate that resulted in her memory being wiped clean and her DNA rewritten entirely. "You will be greatly missed, Yauna... May your legacy carry on in your new life, friend." ● Miriella Srilanka – This quiet and polite Au ra seems to be a bit mischievous on the inside, although Kovasi feels her heart is in the right place. Her fate was sealed when she had immolated herself and much of the surrounding area. She recently returned, but much of her future memories were lost in the process. "You don't seem to remember much after a certain point in time. Perhaps, it was for the better." ● Y'nara Aren – A Seeker Miqo'te that is one of the few friends younger than Kovasi herself. The two are starting to grow close in creating a bond of friendship; especially since her part to take in helping with a experiment. An unfortunate fate befall her dearly close friend that resulted in fading back into the lifestream. Kovasi holds herself responsible for her demise and has since been extremely careful with her use of aetherial manipulation. "You're were quite the friend to have, I... Am sorry for what happened, I truly am... " ● Syrene Darkroot – The mother to Nara. She had quite an interesting fight with Thish, but Kovasi did not hold it against her at all. Syrene met a terrible fate at the grip of a Behemoth. Rumor has it she was looking for death, but her soul crystal was retrieved and kept as a memento with Kovasi until passed to Lyon. "You were a very interesting friend to be around, I'll admit. I do hope you found respite at last."
