Backstory:

Vemri was raised on Naewix in the redwood forests, learning from a young age how to climb, glide, and generally stay active and fit. She spent a lot of time sneaking up on people and scaring them, and taking great joy and humour in it. Her youth in education was chaotic, and she found herself struggling in a lot of subjects, and being bullied for it. Her maturing years found her having many relationships, and learning how to use Mind Link magic, which started her passion for magic in general. She found gravity magic particularly appealing due to letting her fly properly for extended periods of time. By her late teen years she had competed in many gliding tournaments, winning a couple of them, and showing promise in the sport. Upon turning into an adult she signed up for the military on a whim while uncertain for a path to take her life down. She quickly excelled in all but the most thought intensive of tasks, stealth and night-work in particular, earning her the nickname 'lunar whisper'. After completing the training program, she realised that stealth and subterfuge were perfect for her, and she enlisted as an assassin, the most difficult and controversial rank to enter. This prompted backlash from her parents who had expected her to enter a career of competitive sports after "faffing around with swords". Both of whom refused to give their permission to tattoo her chitin due to the social stigmas associated with it. A big argument broke out that caused a schism between Vemri and her parents that remains to this day.

The government gave their approval to have her chitin dyed, and the effect was instantaneously noticeable. Twighflies around her in the street would keep a safe distance, be extra polite or callous, some would hold their children close. And, most frustratingly for her, a lot of her previous friends began to distance themselves from her. Assassin tattoos carry a lot of weight. Although the system was officially in a time of peace, many pirate groups and black markets were active, necessitating her consistent deployment to neutralise high value targets. Vemri's skills as an assassin rewarded her handsomely, and she was very well paid. Despite that, she lived in a small civilian vessel, never staying in any station too long due to her assignments. After nine long years of service, Vemri had accumulated a not insignificant amount of money, and the means to acquire a put-put drive. She spent the vast majority of it on designing and building her new spaceship, as well as hiring people to find loopholes in what a civilian vessel is allowed to have in the way of equipment. By the end of the second year, the Avalon class spaceship Fatal Lullaby was available for deployment. During construction, Vemri had managed to hook up with one of the pilots she'd consulted, and hired her as the ship’s official pilot.

Vemri left the system behind soon after, heading to the nearest system in Alliance space where they picked up Philace.

Goals/Motivations:

To enjoy life free from stigma or the whims of others. To live every day as if it truly might be the last.

But most importantly, to find a purpose to her life, and not go through all of it following whims.
