BiographyEdit

Early LifeEdit

Tyrnia Masak grew up in the slums of Nar Shaddaa. Although her mother worked as a servant for a local crime boss, her family's income was limited and Tyrnia brawled with other sentients to earn credits.

However, even Tyrnia's part-time "job" was not enough to keep her family out of debt. Desperate to repay a bad debt, Tyrnia's family gave her to Quarren crimelord Durrsk as "payment."

Gladiatorial CareerEdit

Seeing potential in the "muscular, ferocious Human girl," Durrsk placed Tyrnia under the tutelage of an unknown fighting master. The trainer, a Force Adept, trained Tyrnia in a variety of combat and Force techniques. This training paid off in the arenas and gladiator pits, where Tyrnia used her physical strength, stubbornness, and "seeming indestructibility" to wear down and defeat all comers. And unlike some unwilling gladiators, Tyrnia actually enjoyed her life as a fighting slave, relishing in the frenzy of combat and the cheers of crowds. However, Tyrnia's successful career in arena soon ended.

After Durrsk murdered Tyrnia's now-aged mother in a fit of rage, Tyrnia vowed revenge, eventually killing the Quarren and a Hutt bystander as the two watched the conclusion of one of her fights. With a bounty placed on her head by the Hutt's and Durrsk's relatives, Tyrnia was forced to flee.

On the RunEdit

With few marketable skills, Tyrnia was soon forced to return to the arena, taking part in matches in various bouts on backwater planets across the galaxy. Her need to avoid bounty hunters has lead her to keep a low profile, but even these efforts have not been enough to keep another group off her track. Tyrnia's latent Force abilities have lead several "unsavory" Dark Side users to pursue her, most hoping to sway the fighter to the Dark Side and/or recruit her as a follower.
