Description
At a distance, one might mistake Brooke's physique to a short Ogryn. Towering over most folks in height and with a brawny though refined physique, the brown-haired hive-worlder has an intimidating aura, thought not through any of her own fault - she does try to be friendly to everyone she meets - but because she carries the rare Pariah gene which makes her a psychic blank, causing unnatural feelings from others around her due to this 'soullessness'. While still young, having been exposed to the evils of humanity at an early age has mentally matured her to treat everyone politely but carefully, never knowing when someone may lash out at her.

Early Life
Brooke Arvebrink had been shunned her whole life without knowing why. The Pariah Gene within her caused even her own family to dread and fear her through no fault of her own, her noble parents distancing themselves from their mutant child. Finding no solace in living a life where all viewed her as reprehensible or even unable to perceive her, she took to finding comfort in her loneliness. She would eschew friendly competition with classmates and friends for simple self-improvement in order to find out why the universe had made her the way she was. To seek enlightenment for her plight. She took to all sorts of individual endeavors, painting with crude pastels she was able to scrounge up, making dolls out of scrapped fabric, and eventually discovering a good aptitude for working out. The combination of being able to find inner peace in the thrums of a hard set while being able to improve your own body appealed to her, and her life in self-imposed socially distant exile would continue like this for several years, barely scrapping by a living by working as a guard during night shifts for warehouse companies. Notably, thefts were at an all time low while Brooke was employed, thieves often finding a palpable uncomfortable aura when they passed by Brooke's designated patrol. However, this routine would come to an end when her parents were slain in a separatist uprising, and she was brought into the Schola Progenium. She would find herself placed to become a Sister of Battle, even having gone so far into gotten the Ritual of Purification for the Fleur-de-lys on her cheek when a regular Inquisitorial retinue visited to exchange information with the sisters.

Current Status
It wasn't until a few years later when after an Inquisitorial scan of potential acolytes she was identified as a psychic blank, and brought into the fold of the Inquisition. She was then handed off to the Adeptus Astra Telepathica who assessed her for the extend of her pyshic null effect. Young enough to start training, Brooke was then finally transferred to the Sisters of Silence for training. Finally in a community where there were similar people to her, she rejoiced - but only temporarily, finding that the Sisters of Silence were rather serious in their duty of protecting the Imperium from threats of daemons and witches, and had little time for socializing. Despite that, Brooke remained optimistic and devoted herself to her training in full. By the time she completed her training, her personality had tempered more though, rarely finding it worthwhile to show her true emotions and instead maintaining a simple polite smile on her face when dealing with anyone, while her true self can only find solace in the weight training she maintains to this day. Now assigned to Gamma Station to be a stand-by agent for Inquisitors to requisition when dealing with psychic threats, she runs a small cafe at one end of the cafeteria to cater to other nulls, in a hope to finally be able to find a group of people whom she could relate to at a deeper level.
