History/Background: Like most of Gaia, Jamaila had first heard of Shin-Ra through a news report, highlighting the 'change' that the influential company would be able to bring to the Planet, whilst sitting in her home in Midgar, the city most influenced by Shin-Ra's actions. At the time, she was young and foolish, and decided to join their cause, to help the Planet (she had no idea of their actual plans, though). Discussing her future plans with her parents, they - or rather, her father - agreed that this would be a suitable career for their daughter to undertake: her father had known President Shin-Ra in early days, and felt that his views were usually right (possibly where Jamaila got her hot-headedness from). However, she first had to enrol into the Military Academy that Shin-Ra had set up, in order to improve her chances of getting hired to work in the biggest company in Gaia.
Therefore, she became a schoolgirl in Shin-Ra Military Academy, and made friends there, including Elena (who would later meet her again, when she joined the Turks). Her primary choice of weapon was long-range, so she trained with twin pistols. As she was a quick learner, she quickly progressed through her classes, and her tutor decided to challenge her to learn short-range as well - which is why she decides to keep her twin daggers later on. After graduating, she planned to apply to become a SOLDIER. However, as SOLDIER were not planning to recruit female warriors, she was automatically declined. However, Tseng - after reading her resume - saw in her a potential candidate for the Turks.
She was then hired as a Turk. Her life was then relatively routine; undertaking assignments, working with a group of people, whatever a Turk was required to do. After the demise of Shin-Ra Inc., she then joined the rest of the Turks and helped protect President Rufus Shin-Ra, whilst helping save the Planet.
Name: Jamaila Collyns
Alignment/Affiliation: Neutral: Turk
Age: 18
Race: Human
Appearance: Jamaila has shoulder-length brown hair, which is kept straight and with a fringe covering the whole of her forehead. Her turquoise eyes are the trademark of her appearance and she has a small nose, and - when angered - her nostrils flare to express her dissatisfaction. When she is not in her Turk uniform, she is usually clothed in another attire: a black, buttoned-up tank top, with dark blue jeans. The jeans are assorted with creamy-brown belts, that criss-cross around her waist, and she wears matching, knee-length boots with buckles strapping them. Atop her tank top, she wears a dark green trench-coat, where the front is cropped, and the ends of her sleeves and the bottom of her coat is crinkled.
Personality: Jamaila is devoted to her job, seeing as she was awarded a job as a Turk after graduating from the Shin-Ra Military Academy. Despite her achievements, though, Jamaila is known to be stubborn; believing that (most of the time) her views are always right, and (sometimes) refusing to adapt to change. She is also known to get riled up easily; sometimes, the simplest taunts can aggravate her and possibly cause her to end up becoming reckless and impulsive.
Abilities: Limit Break ~ Neo Barrage - Jamaila runs and slashes her foe(s) with multiple hits, and then back-flips whilst stabbing her two daggers on the ground, causing rocks to burst. The slashes deal moderate non-elemental and earth damage.
Weapons: Talios; two ice-blue daggers, where the blade is zig-zagged, and the end of the daggers are similar to the design of a scimitar; with a 'hook' to help her rotate her daggers if need be.
