Summary
Arith was born as the youngest of four siblings, the other three being all male. Growing up, she learned how to be the alpha of the pack and that she has the ability to do just about anything she wanted, proving herself better than her brothers at most things, including driving and fighting. When she was nineteen, a terrible storm wiped over her hometown in Oklahoma, causing devastation and destruction to the town and her family’s farm. When it was over, she volunteered to help people in town recover. That’s when she met a group of Marines on leave and a recruiting officer, all helping out her town. This is when she decided to join the Marine Corps. She’d seen on the news plenty of times about the Corps taking out neo-communist terrorist cells and decided that this was a good way she can help people. After a few minor infraction dealing with her dislike of being ordered around, she shaped up long enough to climb through the ranks faster than any woman had ever been promoted before. After several years and an altercation with her CO, she decided that her skills are wasted as an enlisted servicewoman. She applied for the MECEP (Marine Enlisted Commissioning Education Program) so that she may become an officer. She gets her four-year degree and becomes an officer, starting as a 2nd Lieutenant. As the need for a special counter-terrorism team rose, one of the Generals who got together to discuss it took notice of Arith’s rise through the ranks. Seeing her record as an effective leader, he plucked her out of her previous unit to lead UNIT-5, a group of elite Marines from around the world with one common goal: protect the world from terrorists.
Physical Description
Arith is a female anthropomorphic grey wolf that stands at about 5’9” and weighs 172lb. Her legs are digitigrade. Her fur is mostly a darker grey. Her front from below her chest to her thighs is a lighter grey than her other fur. The tip of her tail has red and blue streaks or fur. Her eyes are blue. Her left shoulder and breast has a design in her fur that includes the insignia of her current rank of 1st Lieutenant. She has a 32e cup size. Her tail is 3’1” in length. She typically keeps her hair in a ponytail that goes down to her waist with side-bangs that go down to her chest. Her hair is black with cyan tips. Her typical favorite outfit consists of a black crop-top, a cyan g-string, and a pants/sock combo where the pants are dark grey and the socks are dark blue. The crop-top, pants, and socks all have a hex pattern of varying sizes due to the material they’re made of, which is a special synthetic polymer designed to be bulletproof against rounds up to 9mm. She also tends to wear her dog tag and wrist communicator, which is white with blue accent lines around the buttons and dials, and a screen in the middle.
Personaility
Arith is a go-getter. From a young age, she became determined to be successful in all her endeavors. This was especially helpful with three older brothers in a competitive household. She’s not one to give in easily. She’s usually very lighthearted around friends and family, but will be serious when in situations that call for collectiveness, such as combat. She’s a kind soul, too, always wanting to help those in need. She cares a lot about her team. He team is like a second family to her. As such, she’s a little fragile whenever a member of her team is killed. When she’s hanging around somewhere, she does not like guys who try to hit on her by showing off muscles or their nice car. She usually winds up showing them up if she’s in a god mood or becoming a little aggressive if she’s in a bad mood.
Personal Philosophy
Arith believes in family and helping others. Since her team is like part of her family, they are just as important to her as her actual family. She also believes that her team’s morale is very important. She does what she can to keep her team’s morale high.
Skills & Talents
-
Driving
-
Being the youngest sibling, Arith was last to get her driver’s license. Her brothers already had theirs and had experience driving. One of her brothers, Lucas, was especially good at it. He was good enough that he’d started racing. Arith was always looking for new ways to challenge her brothers in order to stay the alpha of the pack. She drove quite a lot when she was eighteen, practicing her speed and handling on the country backroads. While it was a bit of a waste in the immediate sense, since her brother got into an accident in a race that caused him to stop, it did come in handy in the future. Between speeding to a hospital in an improvised CasEvac and participating in high-stakes street races for extra cash, her driving skills have helped her out tremendously.

Music
-
Arith’s eldest brother, Kamarov, played bass. As she grew up, she actually admired his musical ability and wanted to play with him. She managed to save up some allowance money to get a guitar of her own and learned the basics of guitar-playing from her brother. With enough practice, she was able to learn how to play complex songs, like those in the speed metal genre.

Powers
During one visit to the Multiversal Bar & Grill owned by the interdimensional fox, Ulti, she decided to try her luck with a Mystery Mix. The immediate result was the appearance of the markings seen on her upper-left torso. There were two other effects, though. One was a regenerative power. Instead of flesh and blood, wounds would only reveal a black void that gives people a headache when they look directly into it. It regenerates after a short while. The second is an ability to control quantum energy. She still hasn’t entirely figured this out yet, so she only knows that she can fire a beam of energy from her hands.

Backstory
Arith was born on August 11th, 2001 to Lillian and Mikael Schekovich in a hospital in Oklahoma City. She was the last of four children, having three older brothers, Kamarov, Lucas, and Brian (in order of oldest to youngest). The sibling rivalry promoted a very competitive childhood in the brothers. Arith was originally the omega, being the youngest and the weakest. She got the smallest allowance and mostly hand-me-down toys. That was until, at twelve years old, she decided she’d had enough of being the omega. She started pulling extra time working on her family’s farm, working out, and toughening up. By the time she was 15, she could put a hurting on any of her brothers and asserted herself as the dominant sibling. While she still got the occasional hand-me-down, her brothers treated her much more kindly, and she got more allowance. Unlike her brothers, when she graduated high school at seventeen, she did not know what she wanted to do as a career. Lucas joined the Navy, Kamarov was training to be a surgeon, and Brian was going to law school. Until she could figure out what she wanted to do, she decided to help out on the farm. When she was nineteen, a terrible storm that spawned a tornado passed over her hometown and her family’s farm. While most of the farm buildings remained fairly intact, the town was much worse for wear. Once the farm’s affairs were in order, she volunteered for the relief effort to help people who were affected by the storm. That’s where she met a Marine recruiting officer and a group of Marines who had volunteered to help as well. After some talks with the recruitment officer, she decided to enlist in the Marine Corps. She’d normally have a problem with being ordered around. In the beginning, she did. She had a few infraction involving arguments with her drill instructor. She did somewhat straighten out, as she realized that she wasn’t going to get ahead by fighting with her superiors. By the time she was twenty-five, she’d been promoted to Sergeant through exceptional ability and tenacity. At this point, she’d had another altercation, this time with her commanding officer, Lieutenant Jensen, over the morality of some of his orders. It was at this point that she decided that being a normal enlisted Marine was a waste of her talents and she applied for Marine Enlisted Commissioning Education Program so that she could become an officer. Four years of officer’s training and she manages to get the promotion to 2nd Lieutenant. After the usual two years of being a “butterbar”, she becomes a 1st Lieutenant. Meanwhile, with the rise of more dangerous neo-communist terrorist cells, some of the world’s top Generals were putting together a team of elite Marines. The General from the Corps took notice of Arith’s ambition. After a discussion and debate over who should command the team, the General managed to convince the others that she was the right one for the job. Thus, she was plucked from her old position and given the responsibility of keeping UNIT-5 in order. She found being in charge of her own team, helping and protecting innocent live, was exactly what she enjoyed doing.
