Having her home planet laid to waste by invasion when she was only 12 years old, Neoma Zenith saw early on the horrors and unfairness that life could bring. 

In a desperate attempt to escape certain doom the remnants of her species, (the Auoians) evacuated using colony ships in search among the stars for a new home to try and rebuild some semblance of normalcy following the tragic destruction of their home world. However, deep withinin their travels in the very young universe at the time, the Auoians crossed a phenomenon known as the “Krono event” which pulled the vessels into a blender-like wormhole and spread out the species across space and time itself.

Neoma exited the Krono event sometime in the late 1990’s/ early 2000’s into a hostile environment wedged deep in the Andromeda Galaxy on a planet with rings dubbed “Leviticus-9”. It’s home to a corrupt mining company draining the world of its resources, replacing it with lifeless machinery as well as one of the biggest trading hubs in the solar system. It’s also home of the Zyre Bounty hunting company, a significant contributor to Neoma’s later life and eventual career.

Petrified by ending up in an unknown territory with nobody to hold her hand, Neoma abandoned her kind and humble Auoian nature in order to survive and last in such a hostile world. She started in the mines, working under the less than ideal conditions, to ripping off naive consumers in the shops, to robbing people blind of their belongings to make ends meet. None of these ways of life truly stuck to Neoma though. It wasn’t until a particular incident where one of her only friends at the time mysteriously vanished after meeting with a rather sketchy fellow, notorious for being a crime boss within the region. A manhunt began for him under the suspicious that he caused her friend to go “missing”. 

Neoma wanted nothing more than to see the man meet the righteous hand of justice, so she sought him out, using her survival skills and brain like a criminal to eventually lead to his capture, bringing him to the Zyre bounty hunting company where Zyre himself saw promise in such a young lady. Perhaps she had what it took to really get results when hunting down evildoers. Zyre gave her two choices. She could either continue her life as it was, switching from job to job, making nothing more than scraps to barely scrape by. Or, she could join the Zyre bounty hunting company, and make her mark against crime. Neoma didn’t hesitate, and Zyre took her under his wing as his protege. 

In the years following, Neoma made quite the name for herself, both on the planet of Leviticus-9, and the larger solar system, and even reaching the larger part of the andromeda galaxy. She’d become such an effective bounty hunter, that her reputation had become revered amongst the larger reaches of space. She’s capitalized on this, oftentimes going outside of the solar system and even galaxy to capture or eliminate higher class targets. She’d  even gone to Earth on a few occasions, tracking troublesome individuals, as well as crossing paths with another Auoian who’s a hero on Earth, the Psistar! Neoma loves her job as a galactic bounty hunter, and wouldn’t trade it for anything else she claims she’s the best of the best, and her price certainly reflects it. (LMAO)

(Neoma is at the forefront of the cosmic chapter within my superhero worldbuilding, witnessing the events as an antihero protagonist within the larger universe beyond Earth. She’s meant to feel like a small piece thrust in the middle of a galactic political conflict between 3 factions in their race for territory, the Galactic Nations, The Free States, and the Scourge Empire. Each of them having their flaws.)
