Her innate talent has always been in psionics. Particularly defensive affliction, she excels in mental trickery and mind control in any combat situation. This is appropriate for her as she is easily disgusted by the crudeness of most combat realities like blood, sliced appendages, and burnt and battered creatures, even if they are kitin. Sehraci uses her mental powers to distance herself from those things and let others do the dirty work whenever possible.
To counter balance her high life in Yrkanis, forest foraging always manages to calm her and get her head out of the clouds and back to Atys - whether it be flowering trees, picturesque vistas, or snow covered knolls. The beauties of the Prime Roots intrigue her as well so of late much of her foraging time has been spent there.
Fancying herself something of a fashion designer, her crafting skills focus on medium armor and being able to use it with all other types of armor to mix and match the perfect outfit. While her apartment is stocked to the brim with clothes, she always seems to need a new set for the next big occasion.
Although she has a disdain for the harsher aspects of combat, the art of one-handed sword dueling is a favorite hobby. Her skills in which are formidable, and she won't hesitate to use them to strike down kitin or anything else that threatens her friends. However, Sehr much prefers to keep her sword work to friendly duels with other homins where the means are skill and finesse over brute strength, and she can be very competitive in this arena.
A faithful follower of Jena, she put aside her abhorrence of digging dirty terrain like desert and has been hard at work collecting materials for the Karavan colleges of faith. While holding no ill-will towards the Kami or their followers directly, she does fear Ma-Duk has been corrupted, but has faith Jena can remedy the situation on her own.
With the connections she's made and having the inside look at a lot of Yrkanis politics, Sehraci loves to play the role of the diplomat and get involved in public relations. Her experience in such has landed her the position of representative of her guild at all official events, and it is a duty she takes seriously.

Hello homins, my name is Azukia, sister of the dehominized Zuki and child of Atys. I am a civilian. My father is DCC and I remember him as an imaginative and dedicated parent. I have not heard from him in months now. Last I recall he was making plans for a space war or somesuch lol. Imagine, dragging such primative behavior into the beautiful skies... I love him nonetheless.
I have lived my training days on Atys accepting great gifts from my family here. Firstly, of course, the talent to use a pick in such a manner that I can hear its song as it cuts through the wind, learned how to use the balance built into the tool so that my hands did not bleed (too often) and so that the tool did the bulk of the strength work needed to dig into the unpredictable Atys terrain. My hands and knee have turned to leather, my back is strong and heavily muscled. I read the texts of my brother for the secrets of the skill which opened my eyes early to the wonder that is a pick.
My family and friends gave me this world, assisting me in all my travels through and to all of our civilizations. They gave me the forest, the lake, the sand and the jungle. They gave me the Prime Roots where I have found a beauty that has captured my soul. My family and friends fought the great beasts of Atys with and for me. Proud was I the day I could gift my brother with the finest dagger ever seen on Atys. It is my weakest skill to this day.. the killing. I had wanted to fight the kitin hoardes,I wanted to protect all of Atys forever. It was my birth dream. The hoardes have been disappeared for many many years now. These days I use the killing skills to travel to the richer more untapped material locations so I can do what I found I love the best... It is my chosen role to provide for my family.
When my closest father wants to craft at jewelery I am honored to bring the ambers and seeds that he fashions into lovely and potent protection for myself, my brothers and sisters. When my brother wanted to perfect his skill of making amplifiers I was proud to dig alongside him gathering the mats, watching as the periodic glow of accomplishment came over him, applauding at the little and big dings he proclaimed as a new talent was mastered. He saved me from kinchers more occasions that I can count *chuckles with the memory* He is Disappeared now, my heart mourns this. I dig still, I cannot resist the joy it brings me. I had my first boxing match with my sister in Nexus, we laughed for hours, carefully checking the source each one of those hours. I had a sister who I think might have been a half sister to Sekhmet, she had that green gassy glow about her so very often. I truly love my family.
Oh the memories of my youth fill me with such bittersweet tears. I no longer know if I am laughing or crying.
As I was growing I made so many friends, the names and memories would fill the great hall and overflow. I always knew as I trained there would be a future for me here, I held that certainty as I practiced skills, the ones I have mastered as well as my more meager talents. My dream as an adult is to know all the material locations of Matia, and be able to get to them at will. I dream of that perfect armor...I saw my future in Atys Saga and wanted only to be a living part of it, I desired no monument nor title. OMG, I have lapsed into past tense. Father, please, I do not want to be a Disappeared One. Please my Father... please. *looks to the sky with one last hope as she takes up her pick and heads for The Roots*

We met yesterday in PR, that was a lovely time, and i was very interested by your job.
That could maybe the subject of some future report on Aty Channel 1 , surely more homins might want to follow your steps ?
I might ask Maximus Deepee to go and interview you, if you accept of course.
