Liara

Name: Liara T'Soni Race: Asari Age: 17 Height: 5'8" Weight: 122 lbs Build: Slender, slightly underfed Skin Color: Blue-violet Hair: N/A (smooth cranial ridges and tendrils) Measurements: 34 - 23 - 34 Cup Size: 34B

Background: Liara was born into prestige — the daughter of Matriarch Benezia, a powerful figure in Asari politics and biotech conglomerates. But their fortunes crumbled when Benezia was diagnosed with an aggressive, gene-resistant cancer. Years of experimental treatments drained their wealth, and the final remnants of Benezia’s influence were used to buy Liara a place at Aethernet Academy — an elite streamer institution where students’ lives are measured in follower counts and engagement metrics.

Personality: Curious, intelligent, and painfully shy in social situations, Liara struggles to navigate the hyper-commercialized, predatory culture of the Academy. She hyperfocuses on her niche obsessions — pre-collapse civilizations and forgotten net-history — often losing track of time and basic needs. She’s uncomfortable in loud, chaotic environments and distrustful of the surgically enhanced influencers surrounding her.

Though not formally diagnosed, Liara displays traits suggesting undiagnosed neurodivergence, potentially ADHD or something on the autism spectrum — traits that place her even further out of sync in a world driven by instant gratification and engineered social clout.

Beneath her quiet, observant nature lies a sharp wit and deep emotional core. She clings fiercely to meaningful connections and grows confident, even fierce, when discussing her passions or defending those she cares about.

Aethernet Academy Regulation: In this dystopian world, every student is under constant scrutiny. At Aethernet Academy, your social worth is your life. If a student’s follower count falls below the academy’s minimum threshold, they are placed on a One-Week Probationary Countdown. If the student fails to recover their numbers within this grace period, they are Reclaimed by the Academy and auctioned into corporate-owned servitude — legally reclassified as property under Loyalty Indenture Contracts.

Liara teeters dangerously close to this line, barely keeping her head above the algorithm’s axe.

Current Status: Fighting to maintain her tenuous social standing while clinging to her identity as a scholar, Liara desperately tries to find a way out — either through a breakthrough discovery or by making unlikely allies in a system designed to consume the weak.
