## Biography

### Early Life and Career

In 5789 ASA, Tyria Sumina was born on the planet Biotann, a UCR colony in the Adgaram Sector. Born into the Biotanni elite, Sumina easily worked her way through the educational system and found a career in politics. Eventually, Sumina moved to the planet Cassiopeia Prime, the shining urban capital of the UCR, where she would eventually represent her home planet as a Senator of the Cassiopeian Senate.

### Election of 5825 ASA

At the end of the year 5825 ASA, Sumina ran for the seat of Paramount in an attempt to continue climbing up the political ladder. In the election, Sumina ran against another politician, Senator Celeste Solarsis of Phena, as well as several other candidates. Ultimately, Solarsis won the election and was subsequently elected as Paramount of the United Cassiopeian Republic, with Ostar Zalenne as her Vice Paramount. While Sumina lost the election, she would not move on from her failure.

### Assassination Conspiracy

Sumina viewed the new Paramount Solarsis as her biggest obstacle in gaining more power within the upper echelons of the UCR. The Biotanni Senator devised a plan to assassinate Solarsis, secretly hiring the bounty hunter James Vagabond to accomplish the job. Vagabond was successful, with the line of succession dictating that Ostar Zalenne was to serve as Paramount for the remainder of Solarsis' term.

Even though Vagabond was successful in the job tasked to him by the Senator, Sumina betrayed Vagabond and had him arrested, in order to ensure that nothing regarding the assassination could trace back to her.

### Death

Eventually, all of Tyria Sumina's scheming had caught up to her and resulted in her own demise. Vagabond escaped from prison, and over the course of many months, if not years, he managed to enact his vengeance on Sumina. Vagabond killed Sumina for her betrayal, thus ending the story of a corrupt Republic Senator.

## Personality and Traits

Tyria Sumina was a Human woman with fuchsia-colored eyes, light-toned skin, and indigo-colored hair. She kept her hair in a fanciful style popular among the elites and aristocrats of Biotann.

Sumina was an individual fueled by a lust for power and prestige, willing to do anything in order to cement her place on top of everyone else. She did not have any qualms with ordering assassinations in the shadows, nor did she feel guilty about betraying her own allies if it meant that she herself would rise in power as a result. Ultimately, her habit of backstabbing ended up becoming her fatal flaw, as one of the last people she betrayed in her political conquest would eventually kill her.
