Captain Ford watched Ariela leave and thought to himself how she was not so bad a sight when not coated in dust spattered blood.Though even then, the many spatterings of freckles across bridge of nose, shoulders, hips and even her rear, gave near constant reminder of her oft blood stained being.He paused then, reminiscing that last discovery, and smiled.

Furface surgery went well :)
He has been home with his owner for over a week now and been recovering well, slowly getting his apetite back and returning to form. For those who enquired, the surgery was for the removal of a spinal cyst. Again, thank you so much to all who donated. Especially to the artists for permission to use works in the incentive pack.You will forever have my thanks.Apologies for the departure from Ariela works, postings of her adventures shall resume from here on.-Sinn
Woe unto Ariela once more, for within this forest, for everything that lives defiled by man, shall bring vengeance upon even most brave intruder.

From darkest roots a malicious conciousness wished lay seed and amidst its monstrously weathered tangle, fresh vines birthed to restrain and molest. To deeply writhe and penetrate her inner depths and fiendishly probe for moist home.

Personality
Ariela has an air of mystery about her, is mostly serious and aloof but
also possesses a light heroic and somewhat tragic grace. Her personality
is often viewed as amoral or machiavellian, believing that “the ends
justify the means.” She is somewhat introverted, processing information
internally and is a good listener who thinks before talking.
A concrete and literal thinker, she is ruled by her head over her heart,
only trusting what is certain, valuing realism and common sense. She is
objective; making decisions and judging situations based on facts and
logic. A critical thinker aswell, she is oriented toward problem solving.
Fiercly loyal to her squad/team-mates, she works well as part of a team
and in leadership roles but is also very self reliant, handles conflict
well and is adaptable, logical and analytical.
Ariela is asexual, meaning she has a lack of sexual attraction to anyone
and near absent interest in sexual activity, having no true desire or need to engage in sexual or non-sexual activities (cuddling, hand-holding, etc). Such is not a disorder brought on by some past traumatic event as she does not experience any marked distress or interpersonal difficulty concerning feelings about her sexuality. With regard to romantic or
emotional aspects of sexual orientation or sexual identity she doesn’t
have a preference, she does appreciate company of humble and
intellectual persons, be they male or female, their physical appearance
or age not being of import.
Her lack of a sexual appetite is not to say she is not a loving person,
she has great appreciation for the earth, its animals and even many of
its people, especially those she believes are hard working but abused or
being wronged. Due to such, she lives with a great sadness for the
suffering of so many and feels duty bound, being an able and smart
individual, to aide and fight for them against any authoratarian or criminal
oppression.

Biography
Ariela was born in San Cristóbal de las Casas, Mexico, to an
African American father and Mexican, native Maya, mother. She was raised
well, attending good schools in Mexico and in the US, eventually
majoring in Game Theory. Upon graduating at the age of 22, she returned
to the Chiapas region of her birth and joined the Zapatista Army of
National Liberation.
On a near weekly basis she was involved in engagements with either Paz y
Justica Militias or Los Zetas Cartel and needed do so whilst being hunted by corrupt government officials and
their forces.
An opportunity arose for her, when at 24, she helped
in the extraction of a British SAS team from the region, led by a Captain Euan
Ford. She was instrumental in leading the team and the cartel hostages they where tasked to rescue out of the region.
Ford returned months later, enamored with the girl that got him and his
team through the Lacandon jungles unscathed, he made sponsored
invitation for her to sign up for the special operations branch of
Kaskad, a newly formed international rescue and security contractor
owned by a Russian Oligarch and based in Kazan, Russia.
After some consideration, she took him up on the offer and made for
Kazan, entering into the Kaskad Survival Training Program, one of the
most demanding training courses in the world…where, upon succesful
completion, she became a candidate and was granted admission to try out
for the company’s covert special forces division, Blackwatch.
The admittance test into Blackwatch was unarguably the most
intense, brutal and gruelling test of the whole Kaskad Survival Training
Program, probably any program in the world, with only hand picked
succesful candidates from the base program being granted access to try
out for it.
Though not the first female to pass into the ranks of Blackwatch, the
chief instructor made special point to not go easy on Ariela, constantly
putting her at disadvantage to her fellow candidates, most notably
during Blackwatch resistance to interrogation (RTI) training, adapted
from SPETZNAZ and SAS methods, where Ariela’s beatings where far more
severe compared to others and when subjected to the interrogation training, the methods
including hypothermia, stress positions and waterboarding and practices
such as hooding, sleep deprivation, time disorientation, prolonged
nakedness, sexual humiliation and deprivation of warmth, water and food
where taken to the extreme. The instructor was later removed from the
company by superiors for being excessively harsh on her.
Despite all this, she passed and after spending a year with a support team
training further, was eventually promoted to Sergeant First Class and
drafted into Echo Company of the Blackwatch.
The Blackwatch
Echo was mostly tasked to covertly assist NGO’s and revolutionary causes
for which Kaskad supported but also served as a contracted spec-ops
unit for a number of agencies of non shady repute. A veteran of
countless missions in the most horrific conflicts it came to bare that
during a long campaign in Darfur, Sudan, Ariela suffered an emotional breakdown
which resulted in a lengthy suspension. It was deemed by her superiors
that having witnessed genocide on a near daily basis and engaging
Janjaweed Militia’s weekly, the incident was understandable but she
needed undergo councelling. After three months she was cleared to return
to unit and though at times there were still evident scars born of the traumatic
events witnessed, she had them in check.
Upon returning, her unit was often deployed as a recon and asset
extraction team for the United States Governments PIU (Paranormal
Investigations Unit), sent into assist or extract agents investigating
the darkest mysteries and secrets and fighting against occult threats.
Silent Dark
In 2014, twenty four miles East of Baghdad, an earthquake unearthed an ancient,
mysterious and vast underground maze-like construction,
pre-dating the Sumerian and Akkadian Empires; the Kadingir. Due to its
location in a hostile zone, Kaskad where contracted to secure the site
for an international archaeological team to investigate. The site went
dark after three days and Ariela’s Blackwatch unit was sent into
investigate along with agents from the PIU. After another violent
earthquake shook the area, all contact was lost with them also.
After a lengthy investigation and cleanup operation, the bodies of the
archeologists, Kaskad contractors and other members of the Blackwatch
team where discovered, seemingly having been killed violenty by some
large creature. Ariela and whatever the creature that attacked thems remains
where never found.
She was 27.

Twenty four miles East of Baghdad, an earthquake. caused by nearby
bombing, unearthed a mysterious and vast, ancient maze like
construction, predating the Sumerian and Akkadians; The Kadingir. Within
its dark labyrinthine passageways, a creature born of darkness, roamed;
Marduk, Champion of the Igigi, guarding the gates to where the Old Ones
wait dreaming, sleeping in the abyssal black, awaiting to be released
once more from the Silent Dark.
Pain suddenly erupted in Ariela’s temples, like claws tearing into her
mind. She tried reel away, but the claws sank deeper, and all at once
she realized there was intent, there was malice in this. Something else
was now in the darkness with her, something more powerful, and it wanted
her.
Suddenly, she felt herself being dragged forward in her minds eye, into
the pitch black, into the maw of this ancient terror, vast and hungry,
something that wanted to feed on her for a long, long time, until her
soul was gone, devoured, until nothing of her was left.
Pressure and darkness on all sides, ripping into her. And in the midst
of the savage chaos erupting in her mind, Ariela felt and heard the
arrival of a presence, a force flowing like a stormy tide to draw up
near her. She sensed its attention, a cold eyed and dark regard so
overwhelming, so horribly indifferent to who she was, to her very being,
that a shadow seemed be cast over her soul. Then it was upon her and
within its sudden rough and brutishly strong grasp, the maelstrom in her
mind exploded further.
- Incase
She fell then, as a savage madness took her. Whatever had furiously
grasped her, whatever was now feeding on her, violently ripping away her
sanity, remained ominous and darkly silent as it did so. Her willpower
proving unequal to the task of defending against such an ancient force.
Her last thoughts repeating eternally…
My soul…my soul is food. That’s all it is.
