Arsia Elkin is a Captain in Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris. She spends most of her time in the Amarr-Minmatar warzone, fighting against the Minmatar and local pirates. She is accomplished both as a solo pilot as well as a fleet commander. She is particularly well known for flying the Crucifier Navy Issue. She is a short-tempered, conservative Sarumite who supports The Reclaiming by any means necessary. She was a retainer who flew under Admiral Mitara Newelle on the Sarum team in the YC118 Amarr Championships.
Early Life
Arsia was born on YC85.02.11 to Satasia and Ezekiel Elkin in Dam-Torsad, Amarr Prime. She spent most of her life on her Family's estate which resides in an arboretum in the city. She has one younger sister, Virtella Elkin, who is also a capsuleer, and one older brother, Xavier Elkin, who is not. She was home schooled and rarely left home save for an incident where she was abducted and ransomed for money at the age of 11. Her Gallente kidnappers were caught and executed. Later on she attended the Royal Amarr Institute studying Astrometrics, where she ultimately became a capsuleer.
Life as a Capsuleer
Arsia was issued her capsuleer licence on YC112.06.18 and flew under the banner of the Royal Amarr Institute for quite some time before moving on. She founded the Sha'ha'dem just over two years after obtaining her license. Her reason for forming an ostensibly exploration oriented group was to bring her God's message to every planet of every star as the Amarr Scriptures say; she wanted to make sure she would be able to find them all. As the head of the Sha'ha'dem she lived out in low security Kador space, day tripping into wormholes and killing the local baseliner pirates until she changed her focus over to the Amarr-Minmatar warzone. It was while flying in the warzone alongside Aldrith Shutaq, that she was brought into PIE. After joining PIE she became a mainstay in the warzone.
YC117/118 Amarr Championships and Aftermath
Arsia flew for the Sarum team representing Lord Merimeth Sarum, as a retainer for Mitara Newelle and delivered a solid performance throughout the tournament, being particularly vital to the team's success in both the preliminary matches as well as the team's victory over the now-disgraced Kador champion, Lysus. During her time in the championship, she became very close to Lady Newelle and her other retainers, Raphael Ordo and Alizabeth. After the tournament Arsia was given a residence at the Newelle estate on Mekhios and serves as a retainer to the Newelle family to this day, in addition to the duties she still has to her own family.
Politics
Arsia supports The Reclaiming by any means and supports military action to do so if need be. She believes the Caldari to generally be more reasonable than the Matari, who she believes to be ignorant and belligerent, and the Gallente, who she believes to generally be hedonistic and oftentimes straight-up evil. She does earnestly want to "better" those from the other races via the Reclaiming and therefore does view non-Amarrians who are of the Amarrian faith as friends and allies, although subtle racism can show in extended conversation. Her general acceptance of all those of the Faith is shown in that she left her old corporation, Sha'ha'dem Explorers, in the hands of her friend Lyra North-Onren, an Ammatar woman. She is against the use of boosters and frowns upon what she views as excessive modification; at most, she'll run very basic capsuleer implants. She was a strong supporter of Empress Jamyl I and accepts Empress Catiz I. Although she's not going to be to keen to say it, she dislikes the Khanid Kingdom and especially hates its rulers. She does however fly Khanid designed ships where she does not fly other non-Amarrian ships.
Physiology
Clones and Augmentations
Arsia utilizes both back-up soft clones as well as jump clones. Her soft clones are updated regularly. A few of her clones run basic implants. She was devastated the first time she was podded, as she assumed her continued life thereafter would bar her from Heaven. Despite the recent Theology Council announcement that Faithful capsuleers do go to Heaven, she remains somewhat nervous about it, although she'd never admit it.
Her clones are physically indistinguishable with the exception of one that bears two scars on the left side of the face, one on the left shoulder, and one on the left thigh from knife injuries sustained while being assaulted by Raxi Elamp. She has no physical augmentations on any of her clones.
