This is the rough draft of one of the chars I made. There are some inconsistancies in story and her powers are weird. I think I had a restriction in the final version that she couldn't have fortification active while using Biotic Attacks to try and tone down OPness that comes with the power-set... I kept her out of combat so it wound up not mattering though.

Physical Appearance: Reaching at the lower end of Turian heights at 6'5, Lossa is an albino Turian. Her carapace is distinctly whiter in coloration compared to other Turians which contrasts starkly with the black facial markings she has. Her eyes are grey, and slightly more deep-set than most. Her eyes are rounded slits.

A hormone inbalance that Lossa has caused her to grow a lot stockier than other Turians her size. Her arms and legs are more muscular than other Turians giving her a silhouette which fills much more space. She is very easily confused with a male Turian because of this size distortion. She is also proportionally stronger, which suits her nearly exclusive melee combat style but also means that the stealth portion of a Cabal's role is not filled by her.
Personality: A barely restrained sarcasm. That's really about it. She walks through life while trying desperately to avoid difficult or irritating things but at the same time has enough of a conscience to realize she has the ability to help others. With this conflict she has taken the stance that if she thinks you can handle yourself she doesn't need to deal with you unless you point a gun in her face (which she views as a situation where it is easy enough to kill you). In situations where she is forced to do something she will complete the objective to the best of her abilities but will spend the time making fun of the job or person who is making her to do something. In combat, she is more likely to ignore a fearful opponent than jump on the opportunity for a quick kill. With stronger enemies she can handle but doesn't want to cross she will avoid them to promote rivalry but not aggression, usually by causing a failure on their part but not causing them harm.
Finds the decadence of Ilium somewhat disturbing. It made its way out of the Reaper war too quickly yet she sees the 'filth' of the city as being more prevalent then any other place she has been to. Enjoys the sights and sounds and food however, and has a simple disdain for the Xenophobes she has found on the planet.
Armor/Outfit: Turian Light Phantom Armor X (http://images3.wikia...__cb20100209112 243/masseffect/images/0/0d/Light-turian-Phantom.pn g)
Lossa's armor is the standard coloration of black and red but she doesn't wear the 'hood' section. That being said, the elbows and knees of the armor have been physically altered to be pointed to improve contact damage from strikes using those parts of the body. The lights on it are also blacked out most the time though they can be turned on. She wears a colossus helmet when in space or when it is necessary.
As per an outfit, she wears a white sleeveless shirt with a black sweater-vest over it. Green cargo-pants and white-laced green boots.
Personal History: Born on Palaven 14 years before the Reaper war, Lossa was born in a succession of Cabal fighters that included her Mother Ring'ar, Grandfathers on both sides, and great grandmothers of both sides. As her mother was often on leave for business as a Cabal (which often involved subterfuge missions against Batarians and Krogan, later the Geth) she was mainly raised by an Asari midwife named Kaliana that had been hired due to a difficult pregnancy. For the first decade of her life, her mother figure was the Asari and her father figure, ironically, her mother. The Asari came to have an affair with her father which caused tension in the house in the last couple years of their stay on Palaven and made more difficult with the demonstration of Biotic abilities by Lossa in her ninth year. The tensions came to a head when the Cabal mother returned after a particularly long mission to find the Asari bedding her husband. The following was a quick breaking of matrimony and Lossa's mother leaving with her to the Citadel where the Asari followed.
As it turned out, the decade was essentially a ploy by Lossa's mother to get rid of her husband and raise a child with her all-but-bondmate Ardat'Yakshi midwife.
The strong biotic in the stepmother helped train Lossa from a young age, specifically in the act of biotic warping ( the short-range teleportation kind). They lived a rather quiet life as the mother worked as a special consultant in C-SEC for the countering of organized forces within the decks of the Citadel. This quiet life would be disrupted rather suddenly with the beginning of the Reaper War where they were forced to evacuate to remote Turian planets to try and avoid the oncoming reaper menace at the very edges of the galaxy. They did well for a couple of years as the Reaper forces were working at taking over the more populous planets though they were living on borrowed time.
After the first wave of indoctrinations and the first virtually unguarded push by the Reapers, a lone pair of Sovereign classes sent by the Catalyst to scout the area wound up finding the planet that Lossa along with three million refugees had hidden on. A fleet that had been stationed in the area reacted to the imminent Reaper threat and managed to destroy one and forcibly land the other at the cost of the entire crew onboard the Frigate. The people on the planet were forced to fight against the forces of the grounded Reaper, some of the most active people being her mother and step-mother. The next three months would be a war of Attrition against the Reaper forces on the planet as they slowly made their way into the less defended encampments and made their way towards the main capital of the planet they were standing on, Xerian. Eventually, after the three months and the loss of 3/4 of the original population of the planet the war was won and Lossa's parents had proved to be invaluable during the conflict. During that entire war where every person was an asset, Lossa at the age of 10 had been enlisted with her warping abilities to perform scouting missions that normally only her Cabal mother could do. During this time, she became incredibly proficient in warping and tactical escapes, something that would prove invaluable during her time as a Cabal later in life.
While some minor lingering fear still clings to her from her time on Xerian, she has recovered remarkably well from it because of the support of her mothers. After being saved from Xerian she returned to Palaven during the rebuilding of the homeworld. As most if not all of the vital infrastructure was severely damaged she spent most of her teens working as a volunteer with the recovery teams. She learned a lot during this time in terms of gang warfare as the structure of the Hierarchy post-Reapers created a situation where gangs of Vorcha and other alien species started popping up. Because of her youth and experience on Xerian, she proved an asset when she became a sleeper in these gangs during her late teens (17-19). At the end of her time with the gangs she was streamlined through standard military training into the Cabal where she served for a decade. Most this decade was spent in Turian space and keeping the peace in the lost corners of Turian space dealing with pirates and slavers though she has found herself on Illium following a group of Pirates called the Desert Vultures recently. They had made off with some cargo that she had been previously informed was in a different pirate ship, and to regain the cargo she has chased them to Illium, where they appear to be heading next. She had been awarded with the title of Kabalim because of a series of successful raids on Batarian pirate groups in the Terminus.
Combat Background: Was in active combat for about a year when she was 10 acting as reconnaissance. After that, time spent with infiltration as an agent from the ages of 17-19 where she developed a range of physical close-combat skills. After that, three years of training to become a Cabal. Is well versed in infiltration combat and has been trained on it in the field during the taking of large ships with minimal allies and resources. Training in infiltration styles though they are less used.
Accomplishments: Her, along with other members of a Cabal unit took down three pirate ships in a series of two raids on the same 'convoy' with minimal damage to goods on the ship. Owns one of the records in distance/frequency/limit warping at 5/.5/30 which she uses to her advantage during crowd control.
Strengths: The more enemies there are closer to her, the better. This benefit comes from her power range which is built upon constant melee combat with multiple enemies to allow her shield sustainability and damage advantages. Ship-taking and dealing with close-quarters engagements with overwhelming odds.
Weaknesses: Inversely to other people the fewer enemies she has, the harder it is for her. She cannot use her skills as often and as such cannot do as much damage and maintain her shields. Single-shot ranged weapon meaning that at anything beyond short range has a high chance of survival. Weak non-power shields.
Other: Lossa is stronger the more enemies she has to use her powers on because the powers improve shield generation but the inverse situation is more dangerous for her than for others. Against a single enemy with a gun she needs to close the distance to get into power range before she can fight them whereas with two she could hopefully jump between the two and so on.
