IG Name: Creatrix Yaria Class: Necromancer (Reaper)

Race: Asura

College: Synergetics

Pact Affiliation: N/A

Description
Asura, by most standards, are already considered small, and Yaria falls a bit below average in height. Her skin tone is a darker coal grey with lighter grey mottling along the back of her legs, the inside of her arms, and along her shoulders. She has very noticeable pale grey coloring around her eyes and ears.

She tends to overdress, preferring dramatic, dark clothing with an overabundance of lace and frills. Though not visible in game, she tends to do her makeup the same way -- dark eyeliner wings, deep red lipstick, and so on.

Demeanor
Yaria generally comes off as cheerful and eager to please. Unlike most asura, she welcomes visitors to her lab and will happily give a tour or show off some of her favorite specimens, though she can be a stickler about gloves and safety masks. She's open about her line of work and seems to enjoy it, even though others tend to be less pleased to hear about it.

Overall, she's generally a very easy read. She's quite dramatic, reacting strongly to what's happening around her, quick to tears and quicker to laughter. If her words and expression don't give her away, her ears will.

Early Life
Most asura would say they felt tremendous pressure when they were younger to excel and be the best at what they do, and Yaria was no exception. The oldest of two from a long line of career Peacemakers, her parents decided early on to focus their attention on her instead of her academically underperforming younger brother, Zev. She often tried to stand up for him, leading to a lot of arguments and household tension. When Zev was old enough to work and pressured to join a krewe, any krewe, he accepted a recruitment offer from the Inquest. This led to Zev being disowned and Yaria being physically restrained to keep her from going after him.

While she ultimately stayed with her parents until graduating college, she still holds onto a lot of bitterness over the way both of them were treated. Especially her brother.

She's admitted to once having a childish fondness for Nightmare Court aesthetics, but she never agreed with their methods.

Post Graduation
Yaria graduated from Synergetics with a degree in Managerial and Business Ethics, then promptly joined the Peacemakers as her parents expected. After failing the physical portion of the entrance exam, she was placed in Public Relations, which is really just a nice title for the complaints department. While there, she was given clearance to work in association with Tepkk, the Inquest Public Relations agent who was essentially her counterpart. They were only supposed to coordinate recruitment events and prevent scheduling conflicts, but the two became close friends over shared misery of their work. They dated in secret for a time, but certain events soured the relationship and they eventually parted ways.

While she was never able to join a krewe or maintain a lab of her own, Yaria always had an affinity for toxicology and studied it obsessively in her spare time, often going out to collect or buy samples and learning how to handle and distill them through trial and error. Though mostly self-taught, she's gotten very good at it, and is always eager to discuss the topic with others in the field.

Present Day
She leads some of the research in Shadowprey Labs, and often volunteers at the Wandering Wolf pub as a bartender. Having found something of a kindred spirit in the apothcary Pilnash, she's taken him in as a lab partner.

Trivia
- The pictures on this page are a Guild Wars 2 screen shot, birthday gift collab between End and Akkeeartist @ tumblr.com, and a gift from a friend drawn and colored by Akkeeartist @ tumblr.com. The last picture is Yaria with Tepkk, his pet possum Opraa, and her favorite necrotic construct Ted.

- She doesn't know exactly how to pronounce Tepkk and at this point she's too afraid to ask.
