With the drug settling in his system his mind was in a trance-like state. He was seeing all kinds of images. Mostly stars though. Up until the point where he fell into his slumber, he was mentally reliving each moment, her beautiful hair, gorgeous body, and a smile that just screamed 'be mine forever'. Xalk had desperately become infatuated with this woman, but he didn't know what would happen to her whilst he was asleep.

Lyra exited the elevator and waited just outside the doorway as promised. She even sat on the ground to show that she meant no harm. A feeling of drowsiness came over her, she did her absolute best to stay awake, but it was difficult given she was still hammered.

Backstory:
Xalk grew up in a decent home. His mother was the embodiment of warmth and kindness. She gave him every ounce of her she could to see him grow. She taught him all of his morals and values he still holds to this day. His father on the other was a drunk that paid no attention to him except for the first couple years after birth. He lost all interest in the child and nearly gambled him away for personal gain. Thankfully only his mother knew that, and took care of the situation before word got to Xalk.  One night, when he was merely 10 years old, during dinner a rumbling was heard within the house. When Xalk went to go look where it was coming from, the only thing that he found were his parents stabbed right in front of him on the dinner table. Xalk looked at his parents motionless bodies for a solid 5 minutes, not even listening to the killer's threats. Once the killer attempted to make a move, it was too late, for Xalk had gone into an emotionless state where his electrokinesis ran rampant. The entirety of his home shook along with the entire complex losing power. In an instant Xalk was at the killer's gut, he shocked him enough to paralyze him for the rest of his life, but Xalk wasn't done. He stared into the killer with his emotionless face no glimmer of fear, righteousness, or grief to be found. He grabbed a knife from the table and slit the throat off the murderer's head. The only thing that he kept from his home, still holds dear to him from that day is a blue rose that his mother had always kept in her hair. He carries it with him everywhere he goes.

Living alone was stressful for Xalk, over the course of his life he poured himself into his passion for designing systems and making them work with his electrokinesis that he has had since he could remember, alongside his abnormally strong aptitude for telekinesis. He was always invested in his work, mainly due to his lack of interaction with other Aedolans. He was screened the day after he turned 13 and showed amazing promise to become a Pilot. He breezed through the whole process with the first sense of excitement he had in years and graduated at the fastest possible rate due to his sheer intelligence and prowess with his abilities. He's currently paired with Trosko, a hearty dragon who chose him due to his potential. Over the course of his candidacy he learned to truly use his electrokinesis to power his electronics with a simple touch of his hand.

Personality:
Xalk is extremely shy, and for good reason. He never really had any true friends, when it comes to day by day interactions he's very nervous and practically has no confidence. He barely knows how to woo any girl let alone a woman. In regards to talking about his parents, hes become stoic when the conversation pops up. Otherwise he's just working.
UPDATE
After going on a long hiatus due to a very questionable event that happened some time ago, Xalk has become vastly more confident in himself. He openly seeks to help anyone out and isn't afraid to talk to anyone. 
When it comes to teamwork and combat, he is adequate at adapting to any situation. His stoic nature only appears during combat and serious situations, but he still retains his conscious of who's friend and foe. 

Appearance:
Xalk has blue hair and is practically always wearing a nice grey jacket with a simple black shirt underneath alongside some jeans. Whenever he's not in uniform this is his go to. He's surprisingly skinny for his build, but has very defined calves and forearms.

Abilities/Weaponry:

Zaito- A rapier that Xalk was gifted from his mentor for graduation. It's made of 2 pieces: Blade guard/hilt combo with a revolving hole for multiple attachments, and the blade which retracts into a small knife with a grip that acts as an assembly piece for the full rapier when needed. The blade extends once attached and he can use the rapier to amp his powers to send waves of electricity. He also can use it as a way to quickly maneuver around the battlefield if need be.
Note: He DOES NOT rely on this, if anything it's a glorified shishkabob skewer on a day to day basis, he also does not bring it with him to work.

Gadgets and gizmos- stuff that he tinkers with, if it's small enough to fit in his pocket, unfinished or not, he'll take it with him.

Combat State- Xalk during a state of combat or a serious situation, will become completely stoic. He still retains his conscious to know who's friend or foe. He can enhances his movements with electrokinesis but at best he can only keep the electricity flowing for 5 minutes, it allows him to move faster than normal but due to its minimal amount of use after the candidate program, achieving this electrified state has been rare.

Spade made his way over to Ankia, laying down next to her while putting his snout in her hands. "I only drink tea, thank you for the offer though." She stroked spade's mane, it was a little dusty but nothing she wasnt used to already. "Such a beautiful horse. I wish I could have had one as loyal and caring."

She hadn't even noticed that Kal had put his jacket on her shoulders. It was a little rough, but it was warm. "Thanks for the jacket, you can have it back though. I really don't need it." Ankia spoke while still looking down at her father's grave. She grabbed Ankus and phased the revolver back into herself before removing the jacket and handing it to Kal.

Go have your shitty drink, I have better tastes anyways. Ankia adjusted herself in the bed before she felt a vibration on her Bphone from across the room, she grabbed it and spoke to herself: " Goodness, I almost forgot..."

The barkeep sighed "I'm sorry sir, but she specifically told me not t-" Ankia rushed down the stairs leaving with only her body suit, she left all of her guns upstairs as she bolted to Kaladin handing him her credit card. "Take this, make me go fucking bankrupt I don't care, take my guns if you want, but don't you dare follow me."

She bolted out the door and jumped onto her hoverbike. The dead of the night wasn't helping her nerves.

She arrived at the field, the frontier was silent with the occasional sound of a wild animal. Ankia brought out her Bphone and placed it on the shoveled ground. A picture of her father appeared in the hologram. Ankia sung his old lullaby:

"Leaves from the vine
Falling so slow
Like fragile tiny shells
Drifting in the foam
Little soldier girl
Come marching home
Brave soldier girl
Comes marching home
"

A tear rolled her cheek as she summoned Ankus, she placed it on his grave. A tear rolling down her left cheek. "Happy birthday f-father."

Ankia cleared her throat as she laid onto the bed. "If you didn't want to hear it one of two things should've happened. Either he ordered me to shoot you down on the spot, or you could've rode off in the other direction. Don't get mad at me because you think you heard something that triggered you. Also, you can have all the damn space you want so long as doesn't bother mine, you touch me one more time I'll shoot your playtoy with Tauron."

Ankia really regretted not just shooting a tracker round and letting him run off. It would've made this engagement way less awkward and annoying than it already was. "What the hell even triggered your sorry ass anyways, and why the hell did he offer so much for me just to watch you?"

I knew it. He is partially a fake. Probably to scare off thieves and others of the like. Ankia readjusted herself on her motorbike, laying completely on her back with her foot on the accelerator. "Fine, unfortunately since I was ordered to observe I can't kill you... yet. It's getting late, I'm heading back to the tavern. You do you, old shmuck." Ankia whipped her hair into place, it glistened within the fading sunlight a bit. She looked at Kaladin with an emotionless expression "See ya." And jetted off back towards the tavern.

Little did he know that i already landed a tracker on his sorry ass. He couldn't find it if it was right on front of him.

Perfect shots as always... A little too perfect.

Ankia made her way back down to the bar,ordering a refill on her tea. She left graciously and sat to one side of her hoverbike as she drove over to the man's almost lifeless body. She arrived within 25 minutes or so. For safety she stayed on her bike while calmly sipping her tea as she waited for him to come to once more.

Who is this? He doesn't look like someone doing evil on a daily basis for the sake of evil. He looks as if he's... lost.

Hovering just barely over the newly terraformed  lands, Ankia started to surf on her hover bike. Enjoying the amazing breeze as she whizzed on by. The day seemed to fall short as the sun did. By the time she even realized it was almost sunset. She slowed to a stop as something caught her eye, a dead man with a completely battered face, practically unrecognizable lying outside in the middle of the field. Looks like it's my target's work. So self respecting outlaw would just beat a man's face in.

Following small traces of blood, she happened upon a tavern, looked to be new. Beautiful horse tied to a post outside. After stroking its mane and dusting it off a little she headed inside. Few people at the bar itself, but her target was sitting right there, the holo-message matched perfectly. Ankia sat in the corner folding one leg over the other. Waitress came by: "What'll you have hun?" "Tea with a spot of sugar kindly." The waitress nodded as she walked away.

Ankia sat there sipping her warm and sweet tea as she observed the man. Not directly staring at him, but just an easy observation, studying him in every aspect she could.

Backstory:
Ankia never knew her mother, she died giving birth to her. Her father was always there, always smiling helping through every aspect of her life. He was strict, but forgiving, he always gave Ankia a second shot at everything, both metaphorically and literally. Her father was a famous bounty hunter back when he was Ankia's age. He mastered every single gun he had ever come to known, his natural psionics that has run in the family passed down to Ankia as well. He had 3 guns that were his go to's no matter what: Cartius- a binary sniper rifle (binary meaning it can either shoot plasma or kinetic rounds), Tauron- a sawed off shot-gun firing explosive rounds, and Ankus- his revolver that has an ace of spades design all over, named after his daughter, it fires void and light imbued rounds. He took Ankia to the wild west frontier of Edanith when she was 15, she adored shooting and her father made sure to teach her everyday. One afternoon, while clearing up the targets, Ankia grabbed one the bullets that her father fired from Ankus. Unfortunately, it was more of the void than light, her mind was invaded with images and scenes of another world, nothing close to what was in the galaxy. The creatures rushed her, sinking their claws into Ankia, even thought they were halluciantions it still felt beyond real. Her father rushed over to her, caressing her in his arms before he put Ankus in her hand. In order to remove the visions, she needed to perform a truly impure deed, her father was aware of this. He motioned the gun underneath his jaw, Ankia was in a river of tears seeing no wat out of this wretched situation. She tried to bring it to herself but her father wouldn't let her, he looked her in the eyes "I love you, you're a brave and strong woman, be better than I could ever be." He spoke just before pulling the trigger for her. Ankus phased into Ankia, completely disappearing as she screamed for her now dead father.
5 years later, Ankia returned to her old home on the frontier of Edanith, she grabbed Cartius and Tauron, and his old Ti-700 body suit, it had silver plate-like pieces on the outside with an extremely durable and breathable spandex suit to hold everything together, donning the suit caused it to glow blue in between each plate, it conformed to her body perfectely. She accentuated it with a leather jacket and cowgirl boots. In those 5 years she learned how to master every gun she came across, but she always stuck with her father's best, cause she knew thats what he always wanted for her.

Personality: Ankia genuinely cares for people since thats how she was raised, she always is out to help the little guy no matter what. She's kind to everyone that is kind to her, but don't be surprised if your head gets blown off for trying to mess with her. When it's time to get down to business, she gets down to business.

Appearance:
She has blue hair and an athletic build, curvey in all the right ways, she always has her body suit on since the plates detach for when she needs to sleep. The spandex underneath is black and opaque no matter how much she stretches it. Cartius always rests on her back with the body suit, Tauron is on her right hip.

Abilities/Weapons:
Cartius- Binary rifle- can switch between plasma and kinetic rounds. Go to weapon for most bounties.
Tauron- strictly used for close quarters combat featuring explosive rounds.
Psionic over drive: Ankia's psionic powers are sent into an overdrive mode in a sitaution that triggers her righteousness complex. Her body becomes mixed with void and light energy ( dark purple and white) and she summons Ankus, her father's ace of spades revolver. It has 7 rounds, each mixed with light and void energy, her effective range is increased to beyond what Cartius can reach, and the rounds can disentegrate a pilot's dragon easily (for sake of understanding damage). Afterwards, she immediately passes out, the time it takes for her to become conscious again varies.
GunMaester- she can master any new gun given to her in under a day. If she deems it worthy, she'll add it to her main arsenal.

She also has her own personal hover bike, it is made from Cartius. Yes her sniper rifle can turn into a hover bike, science.
