Description: Iara generally wears her hair out, allowing the curly, voluminous locks to settle in a loose approximation of an afro around her head and neck. Occasionally she will tie it back in a loose ponytail. She does not wear jewelry, save for the occasional cheap, simple-looking bracelet around her right wrist. She has a particular style of dress, preferring to layer darker-colored athletic tights under looser, brightly colored shirts and dresses - practical and aesthetically pleasing, in her mind. She doesn't wear makeup on principle, and has adopted a particularly simple look of late, practical given her current situation. She has no tattoos and no particularly notable scars.


About: Iara was born in the Solomon Islands, where she lived until she was twelve, when her family relocated to Sydney, Australia. There, she was often mistaken for mixed race or aboriginal, a less than entirely positive experience. After finishing school she wandered a bit, doing odd jobs and most notably, once hitchhiking her way from Sydney to Darwin, Northern Territory (she got to known a couple of truckers quite well indeed...). Eventually she decided to try to make her way as a freelance photojournalist, getting by perpetually broke with a few general photography gigs and more odd jobs. A year ago, she was suddenly offered an opportunity to do a piece on a mysterious silicon valley company, all expenses paid - her first run in with the entity known as Ren7.

She learned soon enough that Ren7 was not what it seemed, running shady projects, intent on recruiting people with metahuman abilities for unknown purposes. Suspicious and confused, as she had no unusual abilities that she knew of, Iara declined the job offer and departed. Two nights later, she was attacked by a team of black-clad paramilitary types, her cheap motel room destroyed in a a hail of bullets - it was then that she learned that she did, indeed, have unusual abilities. The bullets bounced off of her harmlessly; knives slid across her skin, doing no damage; an explosion powerful enough to destroy her room and those adjacent shred her clothes but left her without a scratch, without the mildest of breathing issues from smoke inhalation.

The explosion destroyed her possessions, leaving her without her passport, without money, in a foreign country where she knew no one. For the past year, Iara has once again resorted to doing odd jobs, and the occasional bit of petty theft when really desperate, to get by. Her normally impulsive nature has been tempered somewhat by caution as she's worked on learning more about the mysterious Ren7. Along the way, she's had more than a couple of run-ins with other powered individuals with ill intentions - Iara has no intention of drawing more attention to herself or being some kind of 'hero', but her conscience won't let her do nothing when she knows how much damage she can with withstand and just how vulnerable most everyone else is by comparison. Never good with money, she exists now on the edge of homelessness, in and out of cheap motels, the occasional couch or bed when the opportunity arises. Though not a people person per se, and an introvert by preference, she nonetheless has never been shy, and is able to talk her way into and out of things with some skill. Bouncing around the west coast - hitchhiking is pretty damn safe when most people couldn't murder you if they tried - she has recently made her way to Las Ballenas...
