## Biography

### Early Life and Career

Mia Nimmoi was born on the planet Praelior, the shining capital of the Praeliorian Empire that glittered with the crushed, crystalline remains of Dremirians. As a faithful follower and citizen of the Empire, Nimmoi eventually rose up through the imperial ranks and attained the position of Elite, tasked with hunting down Dremirians for capture, execution, and forced servitude. As an Elite, Mia Nimmoi worked with Cierna Véridémi-Bornitas, the Elite mother of the Bornitas twins Jazzilia and Jazzula Bornitas, on several occasions, although the two women had a consistently tense relationship. Both women were students of the Elite Inquisitor Rhine Rhenium, who encouraged them to derive their power from malice and other such negative emotions, similar to what most seasoned Elites had experienced throughout their training.

### Killing Her Mentor

In 5944 ASA, Lord Rhine Rhenium devised a plan to end his own life that would also grant one of his star students a chance at something greater. Mia Nimmoi was tasked by her mentor to help lead a raid in the Dreamer Worlds, while simultaneously collecting ingredients to create a specialized poison. This poisonous concoction was meant to kill Rhenium slowly enough for everyone else around him to believe he was suffering from an illness. Rhenium promised Nimmoi his position as Inquisitor of the city of Licentia in exchange for her commitment to his will down to the letter.

The plan was a silent success, with Rhine Rhenium poisoned and killed by his student Mia Nimmoi just as the mentor had anticipated. When Rhenium died, Nimmoi took his place as Inquisitor of Licentia as per his own promise to her. From then on, Nimmoi was tasked with quelling rebel activity in her area of jurisdiction: the city of Licentia.

### Tale of Spite: Cierna's Last Mission

Shortly after Lord Rhenium's death, Cierna Véridémi-Bornitas visited the office of her late mentor and supervisor, only to be met with the news of Lord Rhenium's passing and Lady Nimmoi's subsequent promotion to their mentor's former position of power.

### Mission to Monsior

In the latter half of the year 5957 ASA, Inquisitors Shock Sattackite and Passion Sternsaphira—aided by their ward Jazzilia Bornitas—found a paper trail from a recent rebel takedown in Licentia that led to the planet Monsior, a former ancient colony of the Empire that had lost contact and imperial support after the War of the Crystals of over a thousand years prior. As Licentia was Mia Nimmoi's city of jurisdiction, Nimmoi quickly met up with the pair of Inquisitors and their ward announced, declaring the issue to be relevant to herself and her work.

Sattackite and Sternsaphira begrudgingly allowed Nimmoi to become involved with their mission, and so the three Elite Inquisitors and the young Elite Bornitas traveled to the planet Monsior in order to investigate the possibility of a rebel cell or even an entire rebel network. Aboard a *Black Rook*-class cruiser, the team of Inquisitors and their troops scanned the planet for any life signs and for any potential signals coming in through the Runestone Network.

The imperials soon discovered a one-way signal that merely spelled out the word "HELP" on loop. Immediately considering the possibility that the signal was a trap, Nimmoi decided to purposefully fall into the trap and play along with the Monsiorians' game.

## Personality and Traits

Mia was a Praeliorian woman and, as such, had white skin, white hair, and completely white eyes devoid of visible pupils or irises. As an Elite, Mia decorated her face with muted lavender-colored face paint, matching the color of her blood as per the custom of the Elites. She kept a rather clean appearance and had a more standardized hairstyle in comparison to the more wild and imposing appearances of Inquisitors Shock Sattackite and Passion Sternsaphira.

Unlike the Inquisitors Sattackite and Sternsaphira, Mia had a rather subdued, quiet, and unexpressive disposition. Nevertheless, Nimmoi's by-the-book attitude towards her work and hard-to-read manner of expression gave her a level of intensity that most tended to be intimidated by. As if she were a shadow, Nimmoi would often appear in places unannounced and successfully yet quietly accomplish her job as an Inquisitor. An entirely work-focused individual, Nimmoi generally kept a level head in the face of danger and conflict. As she almost never outwardly expressed extreme emotions, Nimmoi had a reputation of stoicism and endurance that made her a formidable opponent to her enemies and rivals.

Many of her fellow imperials were either intimidated or frustrated with Mia for her cold exterior, coupled with how she would always manage to find just the right words to pierce others into agitation and distress. Some even went as far as to compare Mia to a snake or a needle, the latter a subtle yet painfully tangible presence. She was a generally malevolent and petty person who seemed to have little to no qualms with eliminating any competition or anyone she disliked, including any fellow imperial colleagues, provided doing so would not interfere with any of her own operations. Overall, Nimmoi's manipulative and calculating nature made her an invaluable Elite Inquisitor for the Praeliorian Empire.

## Skills and Abilities

As an Elite Inquisitor, Mia was particularly skilled as a fighter, as a commander, and as an investigator who hunted in the shadows. She was known for her intricately calculated strategies and plans, with every variable pertaining to a situation accounted for. She was adept at wielding magic, preferring to use dark, snake-like ribbons to restrict and silence others.
