Background:
Ka'tali Vresh hails from the planet Yvara, home of the Zephran, a species of blue-skinned humanoids with plant-like traits and elegant, often spiraling thorn like horns. Raised within a disciplined military society, Ka'tali demonstrated exceptional skill and tactical acumen, making her an ideal candidate for elite service. Her journey brought her to the Alien Defense Directorate, or ADD, an interstellar defense force created by Earth's governing bodies to protect humanity from the threat of alien kidnappings and human trafficking by space pirates. After joining the ADD, Ka'tali quickly rose through the ranks, noted for her empathy and unwavering dedication. She now operates out of Antares Base, an asteroid outpost in the Antares System, where she conducts reconnaissance missions and leads defense and undercover operations.

Miscellaneous:

Ka'tali’s race, the Zephran, are a humanoid species with plant-like characteristics. They are photosynthetic, using sunlight to replenish energy, though they still consume food for essential nutrients. Zephran also breathe in carbon dioxide and release oxygen, making them particularly resilient in environments with elevated CO₂ levels. Their skin tone deepens under sunlight, and they emit a faint glow when well-charged. Zephran horns serve as sensory organs, picking up slight changes in the environment, and are considered highly attractive within their culture. Additionally, they can absorb minerals through their skin, particularly after injury, which aids in regeneration.
Magic? No magical abilities, but some Zephran possess latent psychic tendencies (Ka'tali has shown none of these).
Weapons of choice:
Plasma carbine adapted for both long-range and close-quarters combat
Zephran energy dagger passed down in her family
Equipment:
ADD-issued lightweight armored suit tailored for Zephran physiology
Recon visor with night and infrared vision capabilities
Communication module linked to Antares Base
Fighting style:
Ka'tali favors a blend of tactical shooting and close combat, utilizing her agility to evade attacks and strike with precision. In hand-to-hand, she prefers grappling techniques to disable enemies quickly.
Motivation:
Ka'tali is driven by a fierce sense of justice and her personal code of honor, feeling responsible to protect the vulnerable from enslavement and exploitation.
Special Attributes:
Ka'tali possesses several unique abilities due to her Zephran heritage:
Photosynthesis: Ka'tali can absorb sunlight to replenish her energy, reducing her need for rest. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight boosts her stamina and resilience, making her especially suited for long missions in well-lit environments.
Environmental Sensory: Her horns provide heightened sensitivity to temperature changes, chemical traces, and electromagnetic fields. This makes her adept at detecting subtle environmental shifts and possible threats before others are aware.
Mineral Absorption: When injured, Ka'tali can absorb certain minerals through her skin, which accelerates her healing process. This ability is most effective with minerals naturally found in her homeworld’s soil, though substitutes can be synthesized when necessary.
Bioluminescent Communication: Ka'tali’s faintly glowing markings allow for silent communication with other Zephran through controlled pulses of light, which can be especially useful for covert or stealth operations.
Expert markswoman with high proficiency in advanced firearms

Linguistic aptitude for picking up alien dialects
Weaknesses:
Limited physical strength compared to larger species
Her empathy can sometimes cloud her judgment, especially during high-stress operations
Ship/Vehicle:
Ka'tali pilots a Zephran "Vensari" personal fighter, a sleek, stealth-oriented spacecraft adapted for rapid reconnaissance and infiltration missions. The Vensari is coated in a matte nano paint finish with adaptive camouflage technology, allowing it to blend into space or planetary environments. It’s equipped with a cloaking module that can briefly render it invisible to most detection systems, though it drains energy quickly and is best used for short bursts.
The fighter is fitted with dual plasma cannons and an energy shield optimized for hit-and-run tactics rather than prolonged engagements. Internally, the cockpit is tailored for Zephran physiology, with a breathable CO₂-rich atmosphere and luminescent panels to sustain Ka'tali on longer missions. The ship also includes a small compartment for emergency supplies and reconnaissance gear, allowing her to deploy into hostile environments with minimal preparation.
