— KILL ME A NATION character introduction (1/6)

ARYA RYS

“What does it mean?”  Nikita’s voice was a whisper, just like the light brush of her fingers on Arya’s neck.

Arya stiffened under her touch. “From Ki’ra I was born, to Ki’ra I will die.”  It was inscribed in her mind as much as it was inscribed on her body.  A tattoo on her neck and on her soul.  She owed everything to Ki’ra—her rescue, her safety, her purpose—and these anarchists threatened to burn it all.  Yet here she stood: barebacked and vulnerable, on display for the enemy.

Because that’s what Nikita was.  Right?

AGE: 21

GENDER: cis female

HOME: ki’ran isle

ROLE: ex-general current enemy-of-the-state

INTERESTS: classical music

Born and bred to serve the Ki’ran Empire, Arya never knew her parents.  Instead, she was groomed to be the perfect soldier by tutors and superiors, dedicating her formative years to one thing: the end of anarchy spread by those who dissented the Empire.

Arya proved herself a quick learner and quickly sped through the ranks, becoming a general in record time.  She also landed herself a spot in the Vit’a—a council of five select generals who aid the military triumvirate representative.  Her feat did not come without unwanted attention.  Among her fellow generals, Arya became the target of envy and ill-disguised anger.

Despite being an enemy amid her peers, she remained one of the most well-respected and feared generals in the Ki’ran Empire.  Arya was put in charge of Ki’ra’s occupation of Balu in the wake of the revolutionaries’ terrorist attack. Her efforts are dedicated to rooting out and destroying the resistance once and for all.
