Gemma Keys is a survivor from the brutal and unforgiving Ice planet War-med. Her upbringing was a harsh one, as the planet has been torn apart by conflict for centuries, with various clans vying for power and control. From a young age, Gemma was taught how to fight and how to kill, as this was seen as the only way to survive in such a violent and chaotic world.
However, Gemma was different from many of her peers, as she had a deep longing to escape the constant fighting and bloodshed. She dreamed of a better life, one that was filled with love, peace, and stability. It was this desire that led her to fall in love with Scott and Erik, two men who shared her dream of a life free from violence.
Sadly, Gemma’s dreams were shattered when the church of the illumination invaded War-med, leaving death and destruction in their wake. She believes that Erik was killed during the invasion, and Scott was sentenced to death shortly afterward. However, Gemma refuses to give up on the man she loves and is determined to do whatever it takes to save him.
Despite her previous attempts to escape the violent culture of her home planet, Gemma realizes that she must use every dirty trick in the book to rescue Scott. This means that she must embrace the violent tendencies that she had tried so hard to leave behind. Gemma knows that this is not the right way to live, but she is willing to do whatever it takes to save the man she loves.
One of the most intriguing aspects of Gemma’s character is the nanobot tattoo that she and all other Warmedians possess. This tattoo serves as a symbol of their loyalty to their respective clans, and it is impossible to hide it. Gemma’s tattoo takes the form of the clan she is most loyal to, and it glows when she is angry.
This unique feature of Gemma’s culture highlights the fact that she is unable to hide her true loyalties. Her tattoo is a constant reminder of the violent world she comes from, and it serves as a reminder of the fact that she cannot escape her past. However, Gemma refuses to let her tattoo define her, and she is determined to prove that she is more than just a product of her violent upbringing.
