Meet Ella Turnberry, the smartest non-Asura you know.
NSFW version here (18+!!)
Profession(s): Engineer, holosmith
Loves: Her girlfriend Anna, tinkering with weapons, improving her photon forge
Ella was born to a noble mother and military father in Divinity’s Reach. From day one her parents could tell she was a genius. She’s mildly-tempered, wickedly intelligent, highly disciplined, as well as wildly curious and exceptionally inquisitive. Unlike other Krytans, Ella is agnostic, and doesn’t cling to the old tradition of worshiping the long-departed gods of Tyria, especially recently with Balthazar’s rampage in Elona, her ancestral homeland. She is closer in demeanor to an asura, and as such gets along very well with them.
When she was little, Ella’s father--a low-class soldier who married into the family--left and never came back, leaving Ella’s mother alone to care for her. After pushing her mother for answers, all Ella got as a response was “He’s off to a better place.” As she grew older, Ella began to suspect her father was a deadbeat who abandoned her and grew to resent him. When she began tracking him down to demand answers, she quickly learned this instead: her father had actually been deployed, and he died on the battlefield protecting Divinity’s Reach from centaurs.
When Ella became old enough, she left her home to study ways to combat the rising threat of Zhaitan. She met up with an Asura named Dazzu who was looking for engineers to develop a new type of holomancy.
While researching materials to use for their project, Ella and Dazzu discovered many new properties of existing Asura holo materials. Their discoveries ended up in a research paper, co-written by Ella. These new material properties enabled them to finally create the hard light emitter necessary to generate deadly holographic weapons. The Tyrian Holosmith was born.
Today, Ella works with Dazzu, a Sylvari genius named Basil, and many other geniuses in a mock Krewe. Their purpose is to find unique and novel ways to infuse machines and weaponry with magic. Most of their research is kept secret to avoid leaking important data to the Inquest and other unsavory organizations.
Ella bio! (I added in a new hair model, but I can switch back to the old one if I want) That last part is hinting at another partial rewrite of Basil’s bio. It’s nothing significant but it should explain Basil’s involvement with Dazzu’s Krewe. I’ll probably put that in a separate post.
Bless NinjaRipper! ModelMod couldn’t extract Ella’s Predator for whatever reason but NinjaRipper did it no problem.
