Family:
Father: Justin Tyris (deceased), Mother: Elyssa Tyris (deceased), Brother: Cirran Tyris

Physical Description:
Although a beautiful young woman, pain and hatred shows behind Kemma's eyes, and she very rarely smiles. She has long dark brown hair which is normally tied back and hidden beneath a hood. Her slender frame bears across it several scars as reminders of her time in an Imperial prison-mine.

Professional History:
Before her life took a terrible turn for the worse, Kemma was studying as an artist, but events have meant that she has left such creative tendencies long since behind. For a number of years she has been working as a spy, assassin and bodyguard for her master and sometime lover, Gorta Jax.

Background:
Kemma grew up with her brother Cirran and their parents on Lianna, the homeworld of Sienar Fleet Systems. Her parents both worked at the megacorporation as aerospace engineers. As a teenager she participated with her brother in youth swoop gangs, but soon outgrew them for other interests. Nevertheless she stayed close to her elder brother, maturing into a spirited young woman and enjoying a largely carefree and enjoyable period in her late teens, even as the Empire tightened its grip on the planet.

The life of the Tyris family would change dramatically however with the arrival on Lianna of Major Gorta Jax, an amoral and ruthless Imperial Navy soldier dispatched to the planet as a corporate liaison officer who made his lust for Kemma obvious, though she shot down his every approach. Things came to a head when Kemma's principled parents refused to continue their groundbreaking research under the harsh rule of the Imperials, and in response Jax had Kemma incarcerated on false thievery charges, demanding their cooperation in return for her safety. The anguished cries of her parents as she was dragged from their home in a midnight raid was the last Kemma would ever see of them.

Kemma was held in isolation with no word of what had happened to her family for months. With the death (unbeknownst to her) of her parents at the hands of Jax she lost her value to him as a hostage, and was shipped offworld as just another anonymous Imperial prisoner so that the Major might avoid awkward questions from his superiors on the details of his involvement in the matter.

Jax arranged for Kemma was eventually transferred to the planet Gallor, site of a hellish Imperial prison-mine complex buried deep within a mountain. Its existence kept quiet even amongst Imperials, it was the perfect place for Jax to hide a temporarily inconvenient witness.

In the cramped and chaotic conditions of the Gallor mines, assigned with her fellow prisoners to back-breaking labour, Kemma, blessed - or perhaps cursed - with the fighting spirit of her family became what the miners called a Banin, a leader and defacto spokesperson of the prisoners in the mine. For a year Kemma struggled to keep those around her hopeful and safe, hearing rumours from fellow Liannan prisoners that Cirran had joined the Rebel alliance, and clinging to the thought that her brother would do anything to find her. But after defying prison authorities one too many times, the Colonel in charge of the operation removed her from the general population and had her confined in solitary. Over the next year in the utter darkness at the heart of the mountain her spirit was slowly broken by tortures both mental and physical, as she desperately awaited a rescue that never arrived.

It was after this year that Gorta Jax arrived in Gallor to inform Kemma that at great risk to himself he had secured his release, and to inform her of the death of her parents at the hands of her brother - a brother he said who had known exactly where she was for two years, but had done and intended to do nothing about it. Showing her the concocted evidence he had already used to convince his Imperial superiors that it was Cirran rather than himself that had been responsible for her parent's murder, Jax went so far as to personally carry Kemma out of Gallor into the light as the broken, vulnerable and now deeply disillusioned woman cried in heartbreak and gratitude in his arms.

Over the following few months, Gorta Jax quite effectively brainwashed Kemma Tyris, moulding her into becoming his consort and fanatically loyal servant. Keeping her close to him at first and nurturing the seeds of hatred and desire for revenge on her brother that he had planted, he made sure that the gratitude she felt towards him and the lies he had told her about Cirran became the twin pillars around which she would rebuild herself. At Jax's urging, Kemma began a training program that within a few short years had transformed her into a skilled covert agent. Utilising her not inconsiderable skills exclusively for the use of her master, Kemma enacted Jax's plans with willingness and for the promise of revenge against the brother who she believes murdered their parents and left her to rot in Gallor.

Personality:
Revenge has long been the primary motivating force in Kemma's life. Highly spirited, carefree and a genuinely caring person as a teenager, her senses of fun and rebelliousness were broken down and she was built up again as a fully subservient follower of Gorta Jax. Flashes of her old humanity and come to the surface from time to time, but she seeks to bury them within her new persona of cold fury and driven efficiency. At times though while alone she feels as if she is barely holding herself together.

Form of Dress:
Unless her mission may require a more everyday garb, Kemma typically wears a dark coloured light combat suit over which she dons a dark cloak and hood, the cloak disguising her body shape somewhat and the heavy cowl normally enough to hide to her identity. On missions she also invariably uses a voice modulator as standard operating procedure.

Abilities and Skills:
Jax's training and 'motivational tenchniques' combined with Kemma's natural athleticism have made her a formidable agent. She is proficient with small arms, an excellent proponent of unarmed combat in the K'tara and Hijkata styles, and a reasonable pilot. She has proved adept in all the miscellaneous skills required of her in a espionage role.
