Background:
K'Shasa was born in Hayeer, a bustling city on Barrak. Life was pretty standard for her, but she was always interested in visiting far away places. So in childhood, she decided to join scouts. In her teen years, she went on long hikes in forests, rocky plains, etc. As an adult, she made it her profession. She started as a guide for foreigners visiting her continent. Then aliens visiting her planet. Eventually, she was given license to be a space guide, aiding people from all kinds of species in planning their vacations, tours, and so on. It pays her well enough that she can live comfortably and is her own boss as far as what hours she works.


Personality:
K'Shasa fits the stereotype for Barrakian personality; She's hot-headed, gruff, and expects most people to be tougher than they really are while simultaneously expecting them to be unable to accomplish much in the way of strength or endurance. Outside of the stereotype, though, K'Shasa loves experiencing new things, whether it's a new culture, a new landscape, or even seeing a new movie that has a neat twist at the end.


Abilities:
01) Korshare Barrakian - K'Shasa has all the abilities attributed to Korshare Barrakians.

quote:

1) Very Strong - An average adult Korshare can deadlift 500 lbs. Don't mess with them. 2) Very Tough - A Korshare could take a crowbar to the face as though you slapped them. 3) Courageous - Korshare seem to know no fear. But the fact is, they get excited by danger, so it is more of a drug than a deterrant. However, their courage is limited. They can be intimidated. Just that it's INCREDIBLEY hard. Obviously threatening life or limb won't do it. 4) Large - Requires lots of food and most ships and buildings in this sector don't accomidate well for the size of this race.

02) Barrak Lore - K'Shasa knows a lot of Barrakian history, politics, and cultures. If someone wanted a tour of Barrak, K'Shasa would know the best places to visit, even based off who was visiting and what their interests are.

03) Alien Lore - K'Shasa has been doing tours of the solar systems and has gotten relatively familiar with what it's like in general on a given planet's culture and ideals. While this knowledge is not as extensive as her Barrak Lore, it is enough to know "Tharia usually has the festival of the Emperor this time of year" or such.

04) Basic Explorer Know-how - K'Shasa knows how to climb, some basic survival skills, how often one should drink while walking for miles, all that stuff that comes from experience at long treks walking in the wilderness.


Weaknesses:
01) Exposed Thoughts - K'Shasa knows her stuff as far as where to go and what to do for experiencing new cultures. That said, even though she technically knows tact and etiquette, K'Shasa has this habit of speaking exactly the first thing on her mind with no restraint. Then again, she's from Barrak, where that isn't too uncommon and Barrakian society isn't exactly one to encourage diplomacy. While this makes her outlandishly honest, it is a sour reminder to most who converse with her why sometimes silence is better than honesty.


Weapons:
01) Barrakian Ritual Dagger - K'Shasa has a standard Barrakian Ritual Dagger. This dagger is curved and jagged, with some runic symbols of the ancient Tulshur language. It was once believed to be an anchor for the soul, such that whoever had such a dagger had guaranteed passage to the afterlife should they die. But today, it is more of a symbol of historical acknowledgement while simultaneously serving as a possible melee combat weapon if the need arises.


Equipment:
01) Binoculars - This pair of binoculars can help its user see a person up to 5 miles away. More importantly to K'Shasa, though, it gives data on the temperature and humidity levels of places within a 5 mile radius.

02) Climbing Gear - K'Shasa likes being prepared to climb cliffs.

03) Explorer's Data Pad - While K'Shasa knows her stuff, she doesn't know everything. This Data Pad is the tool she uses to find new places she has yet to be. So if she doesn't know where to go from personal experience? She can find out where with this.
