NAME: Zerek
FACTION: Whoever is willing to pay him the most at any given time.
RANK: None
SPECIES: Possibly Tusken but nobody is sure
AGE: N/A
SEX: Male
HEIGHT: In Armor - 6'4" Assumed to be around 6'1" out of his armor.
WEIGHT: In Armor - Around 300 lbs. Assumed to be less out of his armor.
EYES: N/A Nobody has ever seen his face.
HAIR: N/A Nobody has ever seen his face.
SKIN: N/A Nobody has ever seen his face.
FORCE SENSITIVE: No.
STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:
Strength: No known family or friends for anyone to manipulate or use against him or take revenge on.
Strength: Has a reputation as a brutal hand-to-hand combatant you are best to keep at a distance with blasters.
Strength: Observant. Between the camera droid connected to his helmet remotely and his own perceptiveness, its hard to get the drop on him through a traditional ambush.
Weakness: For all his powers of observation and ability to spot physical ambushes, cunning individuals can lure him into traps instead of hoping he walks into them.
Weakness: Can lose his temper if asked to take part in anything having to do with slavery or slaves.
Weakness: Few close allies. For him and his mysterious nature, there aren't many friendly ports when the storms come.
APPEARANCE:

BIOGRAPHY:
What is mostly known about him is mostly fragmented lore. Some common knowledge, while the rest is just rumors.
Common Knowledge
-Will NOT work for slavers. Even asking him has violent consequences.
-His alias is the Galactic Basic word for the last letter of the Aurebesh alphabet.
-Never seen out of his armor.
-His voice is synthesized into Galactic Basic by his helmet.
-Owns the heavily modified 578-R Space Transport, Wyldstar.
-Has a reputation as a savage hand-to-hand combatant.
Rumors
-Really a disguised Tusken Raider some fool educated and let loose on the Galaxy. To back this, some say they've heard him speaking Tusken into his helmet when they were standing close to him.
-Some claim he's a Mandalorian not a Tusken Raider, because he never shows his face. Still others think he's a criminal trying to hide in plain sight.
-Then there are those who think he's horribly disfigured under his armor.
-Was supposedly once paid to kidnap and kill a man for the Black Sun. Then the man's father paid him double to kidnap and kill the Black Sun member who'd paid for the kidnapping of his son.
ARMS & ARMAMENT
-Personalized Armor: Titanium with a Cortosis underlay to help dissipate blaster energy (and help deflect blows from lightsabers). Equipped with a whipcord launcher on the back of his left wrist, a knockout dart launcher on the back of his right wrist, and 1 foot extendable stun batons from the base of each wrist. The boots are equipped with magnetic couplers and the entire suit of armor has vacuum-reactive seals to protect its wearer from being exposed to space. Able to hold 5 hours of oxygen and recycle it for another 3 before the filters wear out. There is a heads-up display inside the helmet with remote connections to his DRK-1 droid, a universal translation device, and speech translation components in his mask that change his voice to a mechanical-sounding one speaking in Galactic Basic.
-DEMP Ion Carbine: The DEMP (Destructive Electromagnetic Pulse) Ion Carbine is capable of disabling droids as well as stunning organic targets. Perfect for his line of work and his preference of taking in bounties alive.
-DL-18 Blaster Pistol: Custom Chromium plating with inlaid Electrum patterns. Its his weapon of last resort in the event he is forced to kill.
SHIP:
Wyldstar - An old Model 578-R Space Transport. He's managed to salvage enough parts from different 578-Rs (and a few other ships interiors) to make 1, functioning ship, as they were notoriously pieces of junk. His flies well though, and he does his best to keep it in working condition.
DROIDS
LE-WDSTR "Wyldstar" - An LE-series droid that's been integrated into the ship, as well as given 4th-degree security droid programming alongside its protocol and astromech programming. This droid is unable to leave the vicinity of the ship as it is too tied to it. It may exit up to 20 feet away, but usually only does so to perform exterior repairs or assist in loading cargo. Fiercely defensive of itself and will go to extreme lengths to protect the ship aspect of its nature.
DRK-1 "Mynoc" - Equipped with a holographic projector, comm unit, and powerful camera tied to a heads-up display inside Zerek's helmet.
SPEEDER BIKE
Starhawk-Model Speeder Bike that could use a new coat of paint and a new seat.

BIOGRAPHY:

A human who was born into slavery on Kessel, he was never given a name, as his parents did not think he'd live long enough for it to matter. His parents died in the spice mines when he was two and he was sold into domestic servitude to a rich noble. Five years later (when Zerek was 7) the family who owned him (and currently used him as a playmate for their own son of the same age) were on Tatooine conducting business (trading slaves) when their skiff was shot down by Tusken Raiders before it could make the meeting, where he was to be sold. Instead he was rescued by the Tuskens, and taken back to their home along with the son of his former owners, who was far more understandably upset. They were raised among the people there, the primitive thinking of the tribe who'd taken them in thinking they could create better relations with the others living on their planet if the proved they could care for their children. While not given a Bantha as the Tusken children were as they were raised, they were still forced to undergo the ritual to attain adulthood and each hunt a Krayt Dragon and take its pearl. Zerek defeated his, his friend did not.
Newly established as an adult, Zerek barely had time to rejoice before the Tusken camp was attacked by slavers looking to end the Raiders' habit of disrupting their business. Zerek survived, but was returned to slavery. It didn't last long though, as he fought off the slavers and crashed their ship directly in to Mos Doba, smashing through the shield generator protecting the town and crash landing into the local administrative building. In the confusion, he slipped away and stowed himself aboard an outbound cargo freighter, staying hidden until its next stop on Ord Mantell.
From there he started his new life, first becoming a dock worker, then finding a job on a cargo hauler, then with a smuggler, before being recommended to a bounty hunter for training. From there he began to scrimp and save for every credit he could find, eventually buying himself a custom suit of armor and an old junker ship that nobody wanted due to its design's notorious issues. With plenty of spare parts available, he was able to take the best from several junked 578-R transports and make a functional vessel. With the model of ship being able to easily adapt Corellian parts, he was able to customize the ship to his own needs, including offensive and defensive capabilities and places to hold bounties for transport.
