BIOGRAPHY:
Tressk Sel Zen was born in the lower levels of Coruscant where the light of day could not reach. It was absolutely not the ideal environment for a boy to grow up, and it took its toll on him through emotional trauma and toughening. The trauma he dealt with as a child and teen warped his sense of reality, shaping him into the genius mess he is today.
Childhood and Teen Years
Tressk was born to his Saurin mother in 811 ABY in the underground streets of Coruscant. His father was never around because he was actually one of the many spacefaring fringers who just happened to pass through Coruscant, so Tressk was the product of just another drug-addled night in the underground. Now, it shouldn't be said that Tressk had a bad mother, but it should be made clear that there is little a single mother can do to shield her child in such a gritty, neglected environment besides keep him alive.
So, his mother did so while working away her last years in the belly of the immense city-planet. At age eleven in 822 ABY, Tressk lost the last of his family and was left to fend for himself in the slums. He had always been smaller than people his age, especially for a Saurin, and so as he progressed into his teen years, he was an easy target for frustrated youth. Tressk was beaten, robbed, and shunned throughout the slums and only found kinship among some of the other youth who had already snapped. They gave him pity because they understood his condition and feelings of hopelessness, and perhaps even knew he'd soon transition from prey to predator, just as they had.
This transition came in the form of Tressk's first robbery. He was thirteen years old and finally feeling the animalistic survival instincts start to kick in. Through experience, he came to understand that ruthless selfishness was necessary in order to live free in his environment. His mind and emotions were suffering from exhaustion due to being conflicted between his true sense of morality and the laws of the nature before him, and it seemed his mind may have just gave way. Tressk knew he had to utilize his strengths, and knew they absolutely weren't physical. He'd been beaten enough to know that. So, his first robbery was simple, but also the greatest source of pleasure he'd felt in years. Believe it or not, the career of this life-long criminal began with pick-pocketing a thuggish Gamorrean's wallet.
Adulthood
Through years of stealing anything from hypermatter to starships and selling them on the black market, Tressk made a small name for himself and gained connections and, more importantly, experience. His mental health also diminished, and his career became his life.
Now, living out of his space transport, Tressk constantly plots his next moves, excited and unorthodox.
