Weapons
Calista, being a former assassin, is quite proficient with most weapons. Her favorite was the saber, but now uses an alternate and less deadly weapon, an extendable bo staff. It works on the same principle as a saber, shrinking to a compact one foot when not in use, and extending a full five feet when she needs it. She feels very at ease without a weapon as well, practising a fluid martial art. Anything can become a weapon in her hands, however, she deeply regrets her earlier life as an assassin, and is reluctant to kill anyone, avoiding it at all costs.
History
Calista does not like to talk about
her life with the Tier, so she has volunteered very little information
about her past. However, more and more of it has slipped out over
time. She was brought into the Tier as an infant was before she
left she was told how. Her Father was marked for death by the
Tier, why is not known at this time. However... no one was allowed
to see a member of the guild and live, or the assassin himself
must die. Kiron Vayu was overseeing this nights work, by a younger
assassin. He failed, allowing Calista's mother to escape, with
a supposed mortal wound. For reasons unknown, Kiron kept from
going after Cali's mother, quickly and cleanly ending the life
of the failed assassin intending on returning directly to the
Tier, before her heard the cry of a baby.
He was intrigued by the little girl, and her eyes, reasoning that
she had not seen the death of her parents. He was childless, and
likely to remain so, he brought her with him, and raised her as
he would a Daughter. He chose her name, Calista..most lovely.
And later on, gave her the name of Acarya, spiritual teacher,
because her life and spirit gave him much rest. Kiron tried to
protect her the best he could, through waring factions in the
Tier, one without Honor, and one with. He was a Master in his
art, and brought her under his wing as his apprentice, in order
to keep her alive. To his partial dismay, she excelled, never
questioning the right to kill, never quite understanding that
it was wrong. She had been surrounded by it her whole life.. Her
Master has taught her to do it, how could it be wrong? Until her
eighteenth year. She was to kill a father, an innocent, for no
reason then to prove her final loyalty to the Tier. Kiron watched
her as her will to kill left, the enormity of what she been doing
her whole life sinking in on her, and followed her as she left..his
misson the same as it had been almost two decades before... To
end the life of a young assassin that had failed in her duty.
He did not kill her, instead he watched as she threw away the
saber she had used for killing, and felt joy that she had come
to this decision on her own. Kiron found her, and told her of
her family, how she had entered the Tier, and how he'd tried to
protect her, keeping her alive. His pride in her choosing life...
He let her go then, as a fugitive, and prayed she would survive,
but he now became the hunted, instead of the hunter and went into
hiding himself, beliving that he had discovered a horrible truth
about the Tier. A few weeks later the saurian invasion hit. Calista
did not find Kiron again, and most think him dead, but she does
not give up hope that he may be alive, or that her mother might
be.
But she may never know.. after Canard's strike team disappeared
after Dragaunus, The Tier began actively searching for Calista
again. And she grew tired of running, finally confronting the
one sent to kill her. She fought, still unwilling to kill... but
realized she would, for her own life. And she did, as the other
assassin tried to escape, using a Saurian transporter. Calista
delivered the killing blow as her hand closed around the teleporter,
jarring the settings. She disappeared, getting pulled through
a portal, landing on Earth, but thankfully a distance away from
the Raptor, instead of inside, thanks to the messed up coordinates.
She keep the secret of the teleporter to herself, afraid of what
the others reactions might be. And in the hope that she can go
back and search for Kiron one day. But the point is moot, as it's
broken, tho she does not know that yet.
*as a personal note; Cali has a BIG crush on Duke...And this Profile is not related to any other profiles for Cali you might see elsewhere on the net*
