History
Askari grew up in a happy little family in one of the larger mountainside lake cities in Esperanto. Her mother and father both worked in the local mines, leaving Askari in the hands of her neighbors. She almost always snuck away from them to explore the maze like city. preferring to do exactly what she wanted whenever she wanted. She never liked to follow rules and was always getting herself in fights with the older kids - most of which she came out of with barely a scratch while the other was left crying on the ground. She was a scrapper and a fighter even as a child.
Things changed when she was 10 and her parents were caught in a mine explosion, leaving her orphaned. Having heard horrible rumors about orphanages, she instantly took off and hid within the city, using her knowledge of all of the little hidey holes to keep herself from getting caught. When she was caught, she ran and hid again. As she got older and learned, she was caught less and less. She got jobs by lying. She made up various stories about how her Mom was sick and she needed money for the doctor. How Her older brother was trying to raise her on his own and she just wanted to help. She played the part of adorable little girl and weaseled her way into the hearts of the citizens in order to get what she needed whether it be food, money, or clothes. She never stayed though, preferring to return to her own little hiding places.
Askari started taking heavier jobs when she was 13. She would sneak into places for other people and come back with whatever they waned - information, objects. When she was 14, she delivered her first body part. As her reputation grew, she accumulated more and more high paying jobs easier than she ever had before. By time she was 15 she had her own apartment that had hot running water. It felt like living in luxury.
When she was 17 a strange looking man approached her with a job that would allow her to live comfortably for the next 5 years if she succeeded. The thought of that sort of security caused her to overlook the sketchiness of the man and she eagerly accepted. All she had to do was gather some high security information - no big deal. She snuck into the desired building through the ventilation system, her small body fitting perfectly. She made her way to the center of the building, lower herself silently into the designated room with a weird feeling in the pit of her stomach. She didn't realize what was wrong until her feet hit the ground and she realized how quite it was.
A large body grabbed her form behind and despite what she had taught herself, her instincts kicked in and she screamed. Despite the darkness of the room that she had barely been able to see in before, she could suddenly "see" everything as clear as day for a moment. When everything went dark again, she let out another scream, this time noticing it was silent. She quickly counted the number of people in the room before it went dark again and soon freed herself, using her new found ability to escape. By time she had escaped far enough from the building for her mind to think clearly again, she realized two things. That she had been caught in a trap and that she had a nexus.
She left Esperanto and made her way to Mehevae where nobody knew her and she started again, now using her nexus as a cautionary device during jobs.
