Biography

Childhood and Early Life

Jaryn was born on Kiffex to Larin Dakelh, a fierce huntress of the Kiffar Clan Nah`utal, and Jax Valentine, a businessman and owner of Valentine Ventures. From a young age she was tutored in the basic tenants and principles of Nah`utal life, as well as useful skills like hunting and survival techniques by her mother. Jaryn excelled in her education and took interest in both her mother's and father's work. In her spare time she would frequently venture out into the forests with her friends to practice hunting and fighting, which in turn helped to hone her skills as a warrior. In general her family led a comfortable life of wealth thanks to her father's dealings, and they were among the richer families of the Nah`utal. When she turned sixteen and was considered an adult in Nah`utal society, Jaryn would also help out her father with work and travelled with him on numerous business trips to other planets, though he was often secretive about what he was doing. Throughout her travels, Jaryn began to develop a strong desire to see more of the galaxy and soon wanted to leave Kiffex permanently. Whilst her father supported her more curious nature, her mother wished her to remain with the Clan and become a warrior like herself.

Valentine Ventures

Jaryn continued working for her father as she entered her twenties, learning more and more from him about how the galaxy outside of Kiffex operated. Her interest in combat and hunting also remained and she often took trips into the forest as she had done growing up, though with less frequency. Jax continued his teachings, ultimately preparing the young woman to eventually take over the company from him. She slowly began to be told more about the operations and the dealings of the business, including a number of aspects that were less than legal in a number of systems. Valentine Ventures had a hand in numerous industries, such as banking, sports and gambling, and it was alleged that the company often bribed officials and governors to favor them in terms of permits, planning and taxes. As Jaryn grew more and more knowledgeable about Valentine Ventures' dealings, the shady nature of many of their actions did not seem to bother her that much. In fact she continued to embrace her position in the company.

Things soon took a turn for the worst for Jaryn, however. Her father had been implicated in a scandal involving planetary royalty and bribes surrounding the upcoming line of clubs and casinos Valentine Ventures were preparing to open. Jax was arrested and ultimately found guilty of a number of offences as his actions began to come to light. He was convicted of fraud, blackmail, bribery, tax evasion and a string of other crimes, and he was sent to prison. The court case was a very high-profile one, and the legal costs of funding Jax's defence eventually bankrupted Valentine Ventures, which soon folded with no money and no leadership. Jaryn held little ill-will towards her father, but she had become more and more disillusioned by the corporate bureaucracy and restrictions that had landed him in trouble. She vowed that she would be more careful than him with her personal dealings, but she would also not let herself be held-down by bureaucratic red-tape.
