Background

Aes'ahra was born on a planet far away from the Earth, and the Milky Way galaxy as a whole. While details of her childhood, her race, or the planet from which she came from are unclear, (Aes'ahra herself is very intent on keeping them so) there is much information out there that can be found by searching for it, or even just by talking to the reptilian alien directly.

The exact date is unknown, but Aes'ahra arrived on Earth some time in the year 2004. Aes'ahra landed in the Sahara desert, North Africa, and spent roughly a week contemplating what had happened and how she had got there - and once that had all cleared; what she was going to do now. Her ship was totally busted, and she had no clothes at all to her name. Aes'ahra left her wrecked ship, and set off for the nearest hint of civilization; something which she wouldn't find before another week of walking in one direction and hoping for the best. When she finally happened upon a small tribal village, the inhabitants were shocked to see her - a five-foot eight reptilian creature walking on two legs and with a full head of hair - and attacked her.

Even without proper equipment or weaponry to utilize, the fight was extremely one-sided in Aes'ahra's favor, perhaps owing somewhat to how stunned the locals were by what they were fighting. Regardless of the details, Aes'ahra successfully neutralized her attackers, though through what means she refuses to discuss. Gathering up an outfit and a spear, Aes'ahra continued on her expedition across the desert and eventually all of Africa, sticking to traveling under the cover of night.

After a year or so of exploration and barely managing to keep herself alive in the wilds, Aes'ahra made it to the coast of America by stowing away on a ship bound for the west coast. Once she arrived, she stuck to the same methods of survival that she had employed in Africa. Eventually, Aes'ahra managed to teach herself the native language (though she still struggles to pronounce some things) and overheard a news report on Millennium City and its inhabitants. Taken slightly off-guard by what she was hearing, she stumbled out of the shadows and into the open to get a look at the television's screen - directly in front of a passing police officer. Instantly, Aes'ahra was apprehended and taken to the local station, where she explained herself as best she could in her broken English. The officers eventually agreed to have her handed over to the MCPD, and so she was transferred.

Upon arrival in Millennium City, Aes'ahra was met by an odd-looking reptilian man much like herself. She knew instantly that he wasn't from the same planet as she; but it still put her mind at ease knowing that what she had heard about the city was true. After a lengthy stay in the station, Aes'ahra was released on one condition; that she join UNTIL under the supervision of a more veteran hero. The next year of Aes'ahra's life was full of nothing but training, and at the end of it she was rewarded with a power suit that would compliment her race's ability to manipulate the air temperature directly around themselves. Now able to fire off charges of plasma as a means of offense, Aes'ahra was quickly given the nickname "Siege" due to her ability to melt through solid matter.

Appearance

Aes'ahra, or "Siege" as she is better known is decidedly reptilian in appearance. Standing on two legs at five feet and eight inches tall, Aes'ahra has examples of very humanoid qualities alongside the reptilian; such as her hair, nose and breasts; all of which are usually missing from non-mammalian creatures. Her entire body is covered in small but thick green scales that shine dully when they catch the light. Each of these scales is roughly five millimetres in length and three in width. Her scales are very smooth to the touch, and give the faint impression of moisture should one touch them, much like a snake from Earth. Some of these scales are marked with a very usual reptilian pattern, much deeper green than the rest of her scales. These patterns appear most prominently on her arms, legs, either side of her torso and face, and her tail.

Aes'ahra's tail is about half the length of her body from head to toe, measuring in at roughly two feet and nine inches. The tail is fully prehensile, and Aes'ahra makes good use of this by utilizing in tasks such as helping to carry drinks, or hang upside-down from a tree branch for no reason. Also due to the tail, all of her clothes are specially tailored to have a hole for which to fit the tail through. Aes'ahra possesses three full sets of teeth, lined up one behind the other with no space between. Each of her teeth is roughly one centimeter long, serrated, and the back two rows both at the top and bottom of her jaws are hooked inwards. Her tongue is also snake-like in appearance, being forked and approximately five inches long, and two inches in width and thickness.

Her eyes are more human than reptile; patterned much like a standard person's, but with obvious differences. Her scleras are pitch black, and her irises glow a faint, fiery yellow, surrounding dark pupils. While at first glance she may appear to have heavy amounts of eyeliner and eye shadow painted over her scales, close inspection will reveal these to also be markings.

Personality

Aes'ahra is a generally level-headed and cool creature. Slow to anger and very quick to trust due to her lack of greater knowledge of the Earth and its inhabitants, she is easily made a fool of. While she struggles with some human concepts, she is ever learning and gathering new information to put into practice in a social setting. Aes'ahra is easy to approach and start up a conversation with, and generally prefers it to happen that way; ever wary of stepping on toes or starting a fight simply by making her presence known; a quirk which is directly caused by her first years on Earth.

In battle, Aes'ahra is a force to be reckoned with. While her defensive capabilities are somewhat limited, she, like all members of her race, possesses a great love for charging into fights head-on. This is both a boon and a bane to herself and her allies, as she has no fear of death, and will rapidly engage in a battle regardless of the odds of victory. While she revels in combat, she will not pick fights that she deems unnecessary or with potential danger to her allies. This head-strong offensive nature is one of the contributing factors to her nickname and hero alias "Siege".

Powers and Equipment

Aes'ahra's most apparent and definitive power is her race's ability to manipulate the air around themselves, rapidly and drastically increasing the temperature. This mutation is a result of the race's cold blood in a very cold and harsh atmosphere, and evolution doing its part to solve the problem. This power is also one half of her offensive attack powers, combining with her power suit to ionize the gas released by it and create incredibly hot plasma, capable of melting through most materials.

The scales that completely cover her body overlap with one another to create a 'skin' of dense plating with enough durability to withstand a light attack with a bladed weapon, or a gunshot with very low-caliber ammunition. These scales are also highly resistant to various environmental effects, such as extreme heat, cold or toxicity. All forms of radiation have no effect on Aes'ahra whatsoever due to her internal ability to recycle dangerously excessive energy and radiation for fueling her other activities.

Aes'ahra is rarely ever seen without her suit. This was designed and created specifically for use by "Siege" by UNTIL scientists. The suit itself is a kevlar-latex blend woven with small amounts of Questionite - more heavily padded are her vital areas such as the spine, chest, abdomen and thighs. Each of the gauntlets is fitted with a small, concealed tank full of a highly reactive gas, which, when affected by her innate ability to control heat, ionizes and chemically transforms into a light orange plasma that glows viciously. The suit is also fitted with defensive mechanisms - often seen are translucent green plates that cover numerous major areas of her body. These 'shields' are solid light projections that can absorb almost any attack of any size and strength, but vanish and must have a brief moment to recharge and redeploy after they have been hit once.

While these solid light plates are immensely effective at keeping Aes'ahra safe, between the fact that they must recharge between hits and that the suit cannot project enough plates to cover her entire body (there are numerous gaps between each plate), Aes'ahra must always take care to not have either of her fairly glaring weaknesses acted upon.

"She looks like a lizard." - Generic Hero 343

Tropes

Plasma Cannon - But of course.

The Reptilians - While she does share a lot of mammalian traits, Aes'ahra is definitely like a reptile in appearance. Also, she's an extra-terrestrial.

Powered Armor - The "Siege" suit is most certainly this.

Naïve Newcomer - The fact that Aes'ahra's race do not even understand the concept of lying means that she herself would not be able to distinguish fact from fiction.

Prehensile Tail - And she uses it for all manner of 'useful' things, as touched on above.

Now That's Using Your Teeth - Strong, sharp teeth like Aes'ahra's can be used for all kinds of things.

More Teeth than the Osmond Family - Cool.

Scary Teeth - WE GET IT.

Glowing Eyes - Of the eerie bright yellow variety.

Friendly Neighborhood Reptile - Aes'ahra is a reptilian-looking alien who crashed on Earth - but she's nice!

Non-Mammal Mammaries - Trying to get her to explain why her race actually have breasts is a surefire way to get her to go silent, but they're there none-the-less.
