Character Information:
Character Name: Dr. Liara T’Soni
Age: 108
Canon: Mass Effect
Appearance: Liara, like most asari, has the waves of folded skin that replace hair on top of her head, and has no visible ears. Her skin is a like blue colour (very common for asari) and she has black "freckles" along her nose, lines above her eyes that are similar to eye brows (but they're marks on her skin) and white "freckles" along her fringe. She has blue eyes, and despite everything that makes her alien, she is distinctively human in shape and face. She's lithe, lean, and like others before her, doesn't look as powerful as she is - which is a good thing for her considering her current position. Despite her age, Liara is very young for an asari due to the fact an asari life span has be noted to be at least one thousand years (if not longer, however most are at least a thousand years).
Personality:
Before Shepard died, before she risked her life against all odds, against the Shadow Broker, and aided Cerberus, Liara was a compassionate individual. She was caring, sympathetic (to Shepard for her nightmares, to Saren for the painful indoctrination), and did her best to understand those around her. She preferred to be alone, and her experience with social situations most of time dealt with her digging up Prothean artifacts. That all changed when the Collectors launched their attack on the Normandy SR1, which left Commander Shepard dead and the galaxy as a whole a much darker place.
Her whole world as of late revolves around revenge and hate. She's ruthless in her pursuit for information. Mostly anything that can and will bring her closer to the Shadow Broker at any cost even if it means to break the law. Despite her ruthlessness she is a respected broker, and trades information that will both benefit her and her clients should she feel the need. Under layers of pain and guilt, she's still the caring woman she was though without a lot of the social misunderstandings. She's determined to aid Shepard in anyway possible, and loyal until the bitter end.
Liara can be playful, hopeful, and optimistic, but with the last two years she has to hide everything. Emotions are a mask, a way to get people to do what she wants, and she does everything in her power to keep those emotions under wraps. She's not weak, and plays to the strengths of those around her; especially her contacts. She has some closure in finding Feron alive, in assuming the role of the Shadow Broker, but that doesn't mean the fight is over and she knows that. She's taken it upon herself to continue the role of the Shadow Broker, and with luck will continue to do so for years.

This is a holovid or datapad post for your character, similar to writing in a journal. These posts can be auditory, video, or text.
Third Person:
Two years searching. Two years she dedicated herself to revenge, dedicated herself to finding Feron who was neither friend of enemy at the time, and two years hoping to help Shepard with her mission: it was daunting as she sat in a leather chair. It was quiet with the exception of the buzzing machinery, and Liara sat alone with her thoughts staring off into the distance. She never thought she would have a moment of piece as the shadow broker. Constantly keeping information flowing, auctioning off to the highest bidder and compiling the information: it was never ending.
Yet here she was, her fingers curled against her chin as she wondered where their next step was. The batarians were on the brink of war with humanity due to the Bahak system's destruction (and the 300,000 inhabitants subsequently within), the Reapers were about to invade, and she wasn't sure where their next step would lead. Shepard was on her way back to Earth under court-martial to determine whether it was a terrorist act or not, but Liara was sure it was all for show. There was no time to try her without suffering massive consequences with the Reaper invasion. Her only option was to find anything at all to aid her. All information was beneficial, even the seemingly insignificant, but it wasn't enough.
Was it ever enough? It felt futile with their effort knowing that mass genocide was in a constant cycle but they all hoped that they could stop it. By the goddess they had to stop it. There was no ifs, no buts, no can't or try, but the inevitability of success even when all hope seemed loss.
"I hope you know what you're doing." She said quietly to herself, something to disturb the silence before she peered up at the network panel as one of her informants buzzed in with new information.
Anything Else:
Any additional notes can go here, such as roommate preference if applicable. If you are bringing a character in from another game and have not yet mentioned the name of the game, here would be a good place.
