Contents
Appearance
She's does not look much out of the ordinary, being a violet asari standing at 172cm/5'8". She has faint white markings above her eyes and lines along the outermost crests.
She is most often seen in a very modest darkly-colored dress that don't really put too much emphasis on the contours of the wearer. In combat, she wears her military issued armor as depicted to the right.
History
Early Life
She was born in Armali, Thessia to two asari parents. She was very close her parents, but her youngest years were trying given the perpetuated dissent towards pureblood asari. Besides that, her childhood went well, and she got along with a few others who found themselves in the same situation.
Her parents were to experience what risks were associated when she was belatedly diagnosed with the Ardat-Yakshi condition at age 48. However, she and her mother knew long before that, but feared repercussions from the authorities were it to come to light. Her condition was relatively mild, and her mother were adamant in keeping her. Her father, Vynira Tioran, was more pragmatic about the situation and disagreed with this decision; that ultimately led to the divorce. After some back and forth with the authorities, Ilyna was staying.
At age 67, she signed up for the military, seeking to give back to society for the chance she was given. She served well, but political minefields had her kept back from many missions despite her ability, especially those off-world or involving other states.
Breaking Point
That were to eventually get to her, and at age 293, it all snapped for her. During one of her leaves, she got the help of a friend's friend to smuggle herself off-world, ending up on Omega. It was a decision she immediately regretted, but it was too late to turn back.
Her first weeks on Omega were in isolation. Her family didn't hear anything from her, and the people she met were few and far between. She would never have guessed that the people she was about to meet were going to be long time friends. And it wasn't going to last without support or work, and she took the only Aoife's cynical options for asari that fit her and her skillset: mercenary work.
The Evening Star
The first mercenary job was on the The Evening Star, a ship headed to a distant colony that had dropped out of contact. The asari kept to herself for most of the trip, feeling very uncomfortable working with a group of barely acquintances at most. She just wanted to do as she was told and get paid for it.
A memorable moment during the mission was when her squad was set upon by a Thresher Maw as they were investigating a blockade in the road. All they could do was outrun it and hope that it would retreat. It was a hopeless plan, but it worked, much thanks to the sand making for a smooth landing whenever Ilyna used her biotics to propell herself out its path. They were eventually rescued by some of the colonists that had taken shelter in a nearby cave.
In the colonists' care, they managed to rest and let their injuries heal for a while, but it was not yet over. A disagreement between Tarlon and their leader lead to the colonists open fire on Ilyna's group, leaving them no choice but to take them out. After that, they had to wait for the other team to find them, which they did in the end.
It was not over yet, because when they reached the site of the ship, it was overrun with mindless cybernetic beings attacking anything in sight. The others spoke of "Dragon's Teeth" – a name given to the artifacts found on the Citadel after the attack the same year – turning people into these things. After some fighting, the ship was loaded up and off the ground.
Alas, it was still not over. The ride home went wrong when the ship was locked down for a security breach. It had seemed these creatures had managed to get onto the ship and some of the crew had locked everything down but their own way out. They fought their way through the ship until they could board a lifeboat. In a fortunate turn of events, every member of the freelance security team had gotten to the lifeboat and managed to escape the ship.
They were still not in safety. The trip in the lifeboat turned troublesome after they linked up with another lifeboat and some of the cybernetics zombies had gotten onto it. A miscommunication between the team had one of them depressurize the lifeboat cabin, greatly diminishing their already low oxygen supply, and Ilyna felt she was to blame for it, for it was her throw that indirectly lead to the shot hitting the front viewport. Things really seemed hopeless for the mercenary team.
After drifting for another few minutes... or was it hours? At least it felt like an eternity to Ilyna. Regardless, they were eventually rescued by an ExoGeni vessel that picked up their distress beacon. Ilyna didn't ask or care why they had this forunate timing. Now they were safe, and it was over... for a time.
Secrets
While Ilyna has had to keep secrets her entire life, she always felt more comfortable in company that's aware and understading of her issues; people she can turn to when she needs help. That's why she told the others in Fortune's Den about it. The krogan Garr had the most unexpected and memorable reaction to it, for he attempted to goad her on and get her to go through with a melding with him. Being a krogan through and through, he believed he could survive the ordeal, to which Ilyna wholeheartedly disagreed. It made every encounter between the two quite awkward given just how loud the krogan was about it.
Ilyna first believed it was a consequence of this when the mysterious figure approached them in Fortune's Den. They wanted to talk, and they addressed the group by their names, and anyone with their senses intact should see that was trouble. Not that Ilyna would have stayed out of it had she the chance to go back and redo the decision. The reason for that is that the figure – which she took to calling Captain Creepy after Jason did so – knew about her condition. Not only did they know, but they were going to threaten to frame her if she doesn't do as told.

Cautionary Tale
Cliff's Edge
She eventually went beyond the limits set by society and ended up in trouble with them. Alyssa, another asari, had convinced her that they could make a relationship work. It seemed to do so, as well, but High Command feared that Ilyna was playing with fire. After brief incarceration, Ilyna returned to find her bondmate gone with only a message in her wake, the Blue Suns had tracked her down.
She had failed her bondmate in her time of need, and she only had High COmmand to blame for it. And herself, for letting it get this far, for not hiding it from the public. The gun and datapad on the table was enough proof for her father to see how hard-hitting this was.
Drifting Apart
A month later, she went home to Armali again. She has been working towards qualifying to start University. Her contact with every friend she has made was severed... until now.

Skills
Biotic
Ilyna is a very defensive and enduring biotic, opting to protect to people to her left and right rather than attacking the enemy when the option presents itself. Her fortitude is strong to a fault, making her hold up a barrier to the point of collapse rather than giving up.
- Throw: This is the only offensive ability she really has, and she's quick to use it whenever there's no obvious need for protecting a person or asset.
- Barrier: Her barrier dome is her signature biotic move, and she's incredibly skilled at it. I addition to making her own, she can help or take over for allied barrier specialists.
- Lift/Pull: Ilyna can use telekinetic fields on targets up to around 120kg with a reasonable amount of control.
- Singularity: Well, she can make a neat biotic snow globe...
Weapons
She can use a pistol and sub-machine gun well enough, and is a passable and patient sniper, though the latter is buried beneath a heap of metaphorical dust.
