Head of the Staff

Ashika Varma. Head of LLC Minion RBX and expert staff fighter. Shaping up the LLC with the rule of an 'iron fist'. [Indie Battleborn OC, written by Meesh. UNDER CONSTRUCTION.]

Gosh! It’s been far too long. I got... very tied up in work again. But I’m back now - I think?

I’m guessing I missed a lot on the Nova while I was back off on the Arcship again.

This is a psa that it is absolutely cool, and in fact encouraged to respond ic to my ic posts! (Tagged #ic) These posts are usually how I have a little thought for my muse to say, that can possibly start some short little conversations with others.

Send me ☆ to learn a fun fact about my muse!

[tempestlamia]

"I try not to be prejudiced towards other races, but you just- you make that really hard. You are the most vile Jennerit I've ever seen." [headofstaff]

“And you are one of the most ugliest humans I’ve seen and I’ve seen the old man on the dumb chair thing.” 

[headofstaff]

The moment the Jennerit uttered those words, one could swear that Ashika’s eyes began to blaze with fire. She stomped forward to Vespillo, her cybernetic legs clanging on the floor. 

With a quick motion, she grabbed him by the throat with her metal hand.

“Say that again. I dare you. Friendly reminder,’ she said, grabbing her staff from where she carried it on her back. “That my ‘backup’ is a solid metal staff that can also electrocute you. So think carefully before you speak.”

[headofstaff]

"I've got a modified Bulwark bot and a weight lift record of 576 kg for the moment, and it's got room for improvement trust me, that says I can get you to drink with me."

“That’s.. quite impressive, I must say. You sound quite proud of that robot- oh.” She was still deep in thinking about the robot when she properly heard Haya’s proposition. 

“Oh, is that a bet, hmm? That I’d be so impressed by your strength and robotic skills that I’ll go for a drink with you?” It’d had the desired effect, but she wasn’t going to admit that.

What kind of person could Ashika NOT be friends with?

She will be polite to people even if she does not like them or intend to become friends with them. She strongly dislikes people who are so arrogant that they refuse to question their own actions. She also dislikes people who value wealth and profit over ethical concerns such as human lives. Unfortunately, she has to deal with those kinds of people far too often in her line of work.

this was hard

"Do I even want to know how you came to start calling that old geezer's- parts? Kale? Egh, I really didn't need that mental image." (headofstaff)

“Oh god honey ya probably won’t believe me if I told you. An trust me your mental image must be much prettier than from what I saw.” 

[rogue-deadeye]

“Rogues!” T’mara said proudly. “An obviously you’re one of the LLC corporate guys…” T’mara kept herself from adding a not so kind name to the end of that, thats for the old man not this chick. “Figured ya LLC types where too busy with money baths and making bots to focus on other races, glad to be the first Asamerian you met then! Don’t much are around anymore anyway.”

[headofstaff]

Rogues? That definitely fit her. “LLC corporate, yes. Though I- do not consider myself quite as, frankly, stuck up as many of my colleagues. That means a n on the money baths, though to be quite honest your guess is, unfortunately, not actually that much of an exaggeration.” Ashika rolled her eyes. She really did not like many of her colleagues.

“Personally, I aim to expand my own horizons. But, uh- are you the last of the Asamerians, then? Forgive me if it is a sensitive subject, but many of the others I have met here with the Battleborn are lone survivors in these dark times.”

[headofstaff]

Even as the head of Minion RBX, Ashika is not one to be as strict about the LLC’s rules as many of her colleagues. Her belief is that the universe quite potentially ending soon is no time to be adhering to ridiculous laws and customs that are simply ingrained because they have always been done that way. While others may see it as a detrimental move against the corporation’s stock value, Ashika saw it important in aiding the BattIeborn and their fight against Rendain to provide a discount on many of their important services. They may be a ragtag group, but she has faith that they are just what is needed to finally stop Rendain and prevent the darkening of Solus.

THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR PARTICIPATING!

It’s been such a pleasure to see so many amazing and original OCS! It fills my heart with sooo much joy! I hope we can do this again!

“Look it’s me buddy Glen. ‘Ello!”

[bladekeeper]

"You're that guy with the three swords who Kleese writes weird fanfics about, right? I must say, your speed is pretty impressive. Of course, I myself am just as fast if not more son when I spin my staff." (headofstaff)

He nods. Yep, that’s him.

“Faster?”

He gives a hearty laugh, though his curious remains genuine.

“Not many can match or break my speed. I admire your confidence… hm. May I have your name?” Staff users! He hasn’t met many of those.

[bladekeeper]

Her change in tone? Mannerism from 0 to 100 that fast? Rathteu’s face goes blank with surprise, eyes wide and staring at the cybernetic hand waved in front of him. He notes the wrist stub on her arm of the said enhancement, humming low and feeling a little embarrassed that she was so forward. It was a pride thing, for sure, and ti wasn’t everyday he’d see someone react like this, despite how harmless he thought his comments were.

“I–” He grimaces, taking his time to formulate his words. “–didn’t mean to ignite that response. My wording was supposed to be playful.” He looks away, flustered that she was so passionate about correcting him.

“–Sorry.” The only part he’d been meaning to be slightly degrading with was the cybernetics part, not particularly the way he worded her rank. Her reaction smartens him up right away, and he seems to slouch, ears back in obvious anxiety.

“I’m sure the LLC is in good hands with you in charge of one of their major manufacturers.” LIKE HELL THEY WERE.

[headofstaff]

Still glaring, she started to calm down a little as Rathteu apologized. Didn’t mean to ignite that response, huh? Well, maybe he should’ve thought a little harder before he opened his mouth, then. Typical Jennerit with their damn superiority complex over everything. 

“Damn right the LLC is in good hands with me in charge or Minion RBX. I’ve had to deal with enough people questioning my abilities just to get here, so forgive me for getting a little bit annoyed over your response.” She maintained eye contact, brow still furrowed as she returned to her normal height and off of her tiptoes.

“So, now that we’ve established ourselves with a proper introduction, how about you tell me more about those swords of yours?” She crossed her arms, gesturing to Rathteu’s swords. “There’s no reason we can’t still have a conversation now, unless you plan on making further comments about my abilities.”

[bladekeeper]

"You're that guy with the three swords who Kleese writes weird fanfics about, right? I must say, your speed is pretty impressive. Of course, I myself am just as fast if not more son when I spin my staff." (headofstaff)

He nods. Yep, that’s him.

“Faster?”

He gives a hearty laugh, though his curious remains genuine.

“Not many can match or break my speed. I admire your confidence… hm. May I have your name?” Staff users! He hasn’t met many of those.

[bladekeeper]

He gives a short bow before accepting her hand, standing tall and straight to remain formal whilst they introduced themselves. Still had that Sustained classiness in him.

SHE’S WHAT NOW? HEAD OF MINION RBX? And she’s here. Kleese is probably having an aneurysm.

“Ashika. A pleasure,” he says, curiously eyeing her hand as he takes it briefly. “Verod Rath, last of the Keepers of the Blade. I see you’ve been equipping artificial means to appear deadly in battle. Normally,” he’d make a face, “–I’d look down on this practice, but you’re on our side. Presumably. I see no reason to.” Almost mentioned the ‘natural skill vs cybernetics’ argument, but he stopped himself.

He cracks a grin.

“It seems we’re also two figures of big importance. Tell me, what brought you up to the role of Minion RBX’s head gal?”

[headofstaff]

Last, hmm? The Jennerit certainly had lost a lot in the course of their history, especially the more recent part of it. As had everyone. At his tone in talking about ‘artificial means’, however, she frowned. 

“Oh, you don’t approve of my ‘artificial means’, huh?” She stood up straight, leaning up to get more in his face. With her other hand, she angrily removed the robotic hand from its base joint, waving the silver and teal hand in Rathteu’s face. “Without this, I wouldn’t even have a damn hand!”

After waving it in his face for what she felt was sufficient amount of time, she locked the appendage back in place. “How did I get here? Competency, that’s how. After the Great Severance, I was one of the few programmers who was any good at also helping all of the Magnuses figure out how to actually live their lives properly. Without my help there, who knows how much chaos the Arcfleet would have going on now? And, that’s ‘CEO’ to you, not ‘head gal’.”
