## Biography

### Early Life and Career

In 5383 ASA, Larynika Jerema was born on the planet Cassiopeia Prime, the capital of the United Cassiopeian Republic. Jerema grew up in the lower levels of the city world, where resources were rather hard to come by. Jerema managed to make a living for herself as a young professional athlete. Her skills and athletics managed to secure her enrollment into the Elvia Turing Institute of Technology on the Cassiopeian moon of Epsilopeia.

While she was rather successful in her young adulthood, Jerema's demanding schedule and introverted nature made it difficult for her to develop quality relationships with others.

#### Life as an Assassin

Tired of what she perceived as the emptiness of her regular life, Jerema began using her skills in athleticism to perform assassin work. As she continued down this path and continued to realize her talents for stealth and combat, Jerema began to lose her sense of empathy and discovered how easy it was to take another person's life.

### Fremifor: An Ashen Raider

For reasons unknown, Jerema wound up on the planet Fremifor in her mid-20s, presumably for a job. For whatever reason, Jerema decided to stay on Fremifor, possibly to hide from the consequences of her assassin work. For a while, Jerema stayed with a small band of travelers that journeyed throughout Fremifor's northern continent. One of the individuals in this small group was Valgus, a young girl Jerema came to share a close relationship. Jerema considered Valgus to be a younger sister of sorts.

Still, she continued her violent work after she and her group of travelers joined the ranks of a local pirate organization known as the Ashen Raiders. While Jerema assimilated into this new group, Valgus quickly grew unsafe in the hostile and violent environment perpetuated by the pirates.

When she was only eleven years old, Valgus separated herself from her old group and fled into parts unknown alone. It took Jerema over a year to realize that Valgus made the right decision and to go searching for her younger adoptive sister.

## Personality and Traits

Jerema was a Human with blue eyes, light-toned skin, and golden brown hair. In her adulthood, she often kept her head shaved.

A naturally pessimistic and cynical individual, Jerema viewed her early successes in life as hollow and only serving to help herself survive throughout life. She was an intelligent yet introverted woman who found it difficult to make friends or close connections with others, often preferring to work alone. Because of this loneliness, Jerema was often reserved, detached, and cautious, with the latter trait having rubbed off on her adoptive sister Valgus. Some considered Jerema to be rather ruthless and cold-hearted, especially given her previous work as an assassin.

Coming to live in Danessa Mire helped Jerema learn to rely more on others and be more social. Through community, Jerema slowly became a more empathetic person as well.

## Skills and Abilities

Jerema's strongest skills were in combat and athletics, given her previous work as both a young athlete and as an assassin. She was able to be flexible, agile, and stealthy when the situation called for it. She was a formidable opponent in battle, having been incredibly skilled in wielding firearms and predominantly in martial arts.

On top of these combative skills, Jerema also knew first aid and had a degree of knowledge on general medical treatment, as she often had rely on herself for medical treatment throughout life.
