APPEARANCE:
When it comes to the galaxy, Rissk is green, physically and metaphorically
This young Trandoshan is thin and wiry for his species, sporting long arms, sharp, three-clawed hands, and reptilian features, including a sharp smile. Bright eyes, hued red and yellow like a savannah sunset, are constantly sparkling with youthful energy, always looking for the next challenge. He usually wears light leathers, spacer gear, though any hint of gloves or shoes are absent. With a small assortment of tools around his belt, including a cheap blaster shotgun he purchased from a pawn shop, it's obvious he's a hired gun, and he's rather unequipped for it. That doesn't seem to affect his enthusiasm.

STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES
- Trandoshan - Rissk has the benefits of his species, including exceptional strength, infrared vision, and the ability to regenerate limbs and heal wounds quicker than your average bounty hunter. He's also young, and has a lot of room to grow.
- Smart Kid - This young buck learns quickly. Perhaps the one thing that will save him an early death.
- The Force - Untrained, untapped, but the potential is there.
- Eager Student - This hunter is new at his job, starting basically from the ground up. He will make mistakes, he will fail, but he will learn.
- Who's Keeping Score? - Rissk grew up steeped in the culture of Dosha. He is religiously devoted to the Scorekeeper, the Trandoshan deity. This makes him a devoted hunter, but may leave him with a crisis of faith down the road, considering...
- Mercy - Rissk has a high aversion to killing, to the point that he will hesitate every time when given the chance, and outfits his kit around nonlethal take-downs. He's never killed anyone before, and is supremely ashamed of the fact he is unable to do so. A guilty vegetarian.
- Big Lizard - A young Trandoshan has a lot of natural weaknesses, being slower and less dexterous than the average human, and having difficulty piloting ships and using weapons not designed for his anatomy.

The galaxy is a hunting ground, and the T'doshok it's predators. All others are prey.
Rwalla's fathers, a galaxy-renowned hunter and a tech-savvy trapper, imparted this truth to him ever since they'd adopted him from the Doshan foster care system. From the age of two, he was being brought along as Radossk and Jemaz Zissk tracked big game across the galaxy, teaching him the lessons he would need to become a cold-hard killer. They were kind to their son, but vicious and ruthless to their prey. Rwalla grew up idolizing his fathers, and putting his faith in the Scorekeeper, as they taught him.
This came to a head when the family took a hunting trip to Kashyyyk. Rwalla watched his fathers systematically butcher a village of Wookiees, using flame projectors and toxic gas. Despite everything he'd been taught, something about watching this left a lasting impact on the young Trandoshan. After that, he lost his appetite for meat, and killing. Something that deeply worried his fathers.
It got to a point where Rwalla refused to go on hunts. Something drastic had to be done, his fathers thought, or their boy would lose his place in the Trandoshan afterlife. With heavy hearts, they disowned their son, promising that once he accrued enough Jagganath points, he would be welcomed back with open arms. Until then, he was on his own.
Rwalla was thrust into the galactic underworld with barely any credits to his name, only knowing how to do one thing- which he refused to do. Despite his impossible task, he set to it with enthusiasm, confident that he could get over his trauma on his own, and become successful enough to return home.
Thus, Rissk was born.
