Jvsone

Jvsone was an Advozse male bounty hunter born on Riflor in 47 ABY. Jvsone was a well-known bounty hunter throughout the galaxy, even gaining notoriety from the Wookie Sith Lord, Darth Katos. Jvsone would be credited for training the four Shoval sisters on Cerea after rumors of a new Sith Lord spread throughout the planet. During this time, Jvsone would meet his future criminal partner, Dei-Mala Shoval, and his future assailant, Lei-co Shoval. Jvsone would truly make a name for himself whenever he assassinated Bala the Hutt and many of his men in 76 ABY. In 102 ABY, Jvsone and Dei-Mala learned that a bounty had been placed Ni-Hanna Shoval, father of Lei-co and his partner, and the pair searched the Shoval's home after questioning Malak-sin Shoval. The bounty hunters tracked Ni-Hanna down on Tatooine, where they would battle the Cerean brothers inside a Mos Eisley cantina. The brothers would escape the cantina after the newly arriving Lei-co, accompanied by New Imperial soldiers, shot the Advozse in the wrist. Jvsone tried holding off Lei-co and her men, but would soon find himself outmatched. Lei-co interrogated Jvsone, who believed Lei-co had suffered enough at her family's expense, told her that Borua Galnaca placed the bounty on Ni-Hanna. Despite this, Lei-co stabbed the bounty hunter in the chest and left him to die on the cantina floor.

Start as a Bounty Hunter
Jvsone would begin his memorable career as a bounty hunter sometime in 67 ABY whenever he met the Mokaus gang leader, Niko, on Tatooine. Niko informed Jvsone that he was having problems with another crime syndicate known as the Glo'kaans, another street gang with a majority Rodian-membership, and that they outnumbered the Mokaus 3-1. Jvsone was tasked with killing the gangs leader, Aktu Samii, which was supposed to leave the Glo'kaans in a short state of chaos. Jvsone managed to track down Samii and his gang members on the Gordamaus, a space station in the Outer Rim owned by the Besalisk outlaw Kree'Tub. When entering the station, Jvsone shot the Rodian gang leader in the back, killing him instantly. This turned out to be one of Samii's body doubles, and the real Samii showed would appear behind the Advozse bounty hunter and knocked him unconscious.

Jvsone would remain in a prison cell located on 'Gordamaus ' for a number of weeks, and he soon learned that Kree'Tub had formed an alliance with the Glo'kaans. Jvsone managed to escape his cell after pretending to be hurt, and killed his cell guard when he went to help him. Jvsone worked his way through the station until he ran into Kree'Tub, who immediately drew his four blaster pistols and fired at the bounty hunter, alerting Samii and his gang. Despite being heavily outnumbered in unfamiliar territory, Jvsone still managed to kill Samii during the battle before fleeing the station and heading back to Tatooine to collect his bounty.

Jvsone would continue to work as a small-time bounty hunter, usually collecting smaller bounties but sometimes taking on larger ones, such as kidnapping the son of a Trandoshan slaver. Jvsone would soon build a reputation for himself throughout the galaxy during this time, and he would eventually earn himself the nickname "Horned Trash Monster" after attacking a Jawa-filled living habitat on Raxus Prime in search of a protocol droid.

Training the Shoval Family
In 70 ABY, Jvsone was hired by Dei-Mala Shoval to train her and her three younger sisters to defend themselves after their homeworld of Cerea began thinking that there was a new Sith Lord on the rise. Jvsone flew to Cerea, where he met the young Lei-co Shoval and her younger sisters, Reia-Dai Shoval and Tora-bo Shoval. Jvsone taught the four sisters how to use many different types of blasters and melee weapons, and even went as far as teaching them their own fighting style. During these lessons, Jvsone believed that Dei-Mala had begun developing romantic feelings for him, and the Cerean would soon ask Jvsone about becoming his bounty hunter partner. Two years later, the Elder Council on Cerea finally stated that the rumors of the new Sith Lord were false, and Lei-co then wanted the training to stop. Her request was granted by Dei-Mala, under the condition that Lei-co would raise Reia-Dai and Tora-bo while she joined Jvsone as his bounty hunter partner.

Working for Galnaca
After taking Dei-Mala under his wing, the duo stopped inside a cantina on Cerea, where they met the soon-to-be infamous Borua Galnaca, a young Ualaq crime lord who was slowly rising in power. Galnaca informed the pair of his search for lightsaber crystals, claiming that if they managed to bring him any then he would pay them 50,000 credits for each one. Jvsone and Shoval departed from Cerea immediately set a course to Adega. When they arrived to one of the Adegan caves, they discovered that Jedi Knight Ban Kodul was waiting outside the cave with two Jedi younglings. Instead of going into the caves, Jvsone decided that he and Shoval would wait for the remaining younglings to return from inside and then they would steal their crystals. When the rest of the younglings regrouped outside the cave, the two bounty hunters ambushed the group with smoke grenades. Kodul drew his lightsaber and deflected the blaster fire with ease, despite the immense amount of smoke. Jvsone tackled the Kel Dor Jedi before the smoke cleared and began punching him repeatedly. Meanwhile, Shoval gathered the youngling's lightsaber crystals. Kodul knocked the Advozse off of him and attacked Shoval, who barely managed to evade the Jedi's lightsaber strikes. The bounty hunters fended off Kodul until Shoval's hand was sliced off and the Jedi was stunned from behind by Jvsone. The duo immediately fled to their ship and back to Cerea.

Whenever Jvsone arrived back at Galnaca's base, he turned over the lightsaber crystals to the crime lord while Shoval was given medical attention. Galnaca expressed his disbelief when he saw the six crystals, but still paid the bounty hunter the 300,000 credits he owed. Jvsone and Shoval would continue collecting bounties for Galnaca throughout the years, and occasionally lead security teams to guard his spice shipments whenever he formed a partnership with the Pyke Syndicate in 73 ABY.

Meeting a Hutt
in 76 ABY, Jvsone and Shoval found themselves being chased by smugglers deep in Hutt Space after failing to capture Junta Dakaar, a well-known smuggler who was hiding on Nar Shaddaa. They wouldn't make it far, as the engine accelerator on Jvsone's ship was shot and the bounty hunters crash landed in a swamp on Nal Hutta. When the smugglers began closing in on them, Shoval tried to stay and fight, but Jvsone told his partner that there was no sense in dying in battle when there was an option to avoid the battle altogether. They abandoned their crashed ship and wandered into the swamp before the smugglers arrived. While walking through the swamp, the bounty hunters came across a massive Hutt Palace that was covered in moss and other wildlife, giving the illusion it had been abandoned. The bounty hunters, in desperate need of shelter, entered the palace to find it filled with people. The duo received a hostile greeting from Jidariu Kisemai, the Devaronian in charge of the palaces defenses, but when Jvsone informed him of their situation, the Devaronian allowed them to speak to his superior. Jvsone and Shoval met with Bala the Hutt, a devious Hutt crime lord living in exile, who informed them that he possessed strong ties with Dakaar. Jvsone, having heard rumors of Bala and how to keep good terms with a Hutt, spoke highly of Bala and his palace but insisted that Dakaar had a bounty on his head and that he and Shoval planned to collect it. Flattered by Jvsones remarks, Bala gave the bounty hunters the option to call off their hunt for Dakaar if he gave them a bounty twice as high to collect; a Besalisk known as Kree'Tub. Already on bad terms with Kree'Tub, Jvsone accepted Bala's offer.

The next morning, Jvsone and Shoval, now heavily armed with better blasters and explosives, arrived on ' Gordamaus '. Wearing large hoods to disguise themselves, the bounty hunters split up in search of the Besalisk. During his search, Jvsone saw a group of Glo'kaan gang members sitting at a table inside the cantina. Jvsone hid himself in a large crowd near the gang members, and rolled a thermal detonator underneath their table. The explosion killed the Glo'kaans and many other people around them, it also lured Kree'Tub out in the open with two of the 'Gordamaus ' security officers. Shoval, who was on the second story above the cantina, shot the security officers, allowing Jvsone to apply two pairs of handcuffs to Kree'Tub and seize him. Shoval jumped down alongside the two and helped Jvsone fend off the many allies of the Besalisk. Finding themselves surrounded, Jvsone threatened to set off his entire bag of thermal detonators, which would kill everyone inside, unless Kree'Tub ordered his men to stand down. Kree'Tub reluctantly agreed to the bounty hunters terms, and was then transported to Nal Hutta. On the way there, Kree'Tub promised the bounty hunters 60,000 credits if they didn't turn him over to Bala, an offer that Jvsone denied.

Upon returning to Bala's Palace and handing over Kree'Tub, the Hutt only paid Jvsone 25,000 out of the 30,000 credits that was promised. When Jvsone asked why he wasn't being paid the extra 5,000 credits, Kisemai told the bounty hunter that Bala doesn't "pay full bounties to those he does not trust" and that the duo could either stay and enjoy the party or join Kree'Tub in his cell. Jvsone chose the first option, and soon began forming a plan with Shoval in order to exact revenge on the Hutt. Shoval suggested that they turn over Bala to the other Hutt crime lords, to which Jvsone decided against. Instead, Jvsone tasked Shoval with sneaking into the palaces prison cells and escorting Kree'Tub to the ship while he set up thermal detonators throughout the cantina, even managing to place one directly behind the Hutt. When Shoval informed her partner that she and Kree'Tub were on the ship, Jvsone sneaked out of the palace and joined them, where they departed from the palace. While leaving the planet, Jvsone contacted Bala via hologram and demanded that the Hutt transfer them the 5,000 credits he owed or he would perish. Bala laughed at Jvsone, stating that there was no way two bounty hunters could assassinate him inside his own palace, and told them that they wouldn't be receiving the credits anytime soon. Jvsone activated the thermal detonators in front of the Hutt, who let out a scream before the explosion ended the transmission. Jvsone and Shoval escorted Kree'Tub back to 'Gordamaus ', where they would collect the 60,000 credits previously offered and leave without any conflict.

Return to Cerea
In 95 ABY, Jvsone was contacted by the Wookiee Sith Lord, Darth Katos, who offered the bounty hunter 100,000 credits for a job that would manipulate Senator Lei-co Shoval to join the New Galactic Empire. The Sith Lord also admitted that he was impressed by the bounty hunters skills, stating that it takes more than the average bounty hunter to kill a Hutt crime lord. Intrigued after hearing Lei-co's name, Jvsone agreed to take on the job and flew to Cerea alone, as Dei-Mala was already taking on a separate job. When Jvsone arrived to Cerea, he boarded the Senator's ship and killed another bounty hunter, known as Katura Shade, after he shot her in the back. Following Shade's death, Darth Katos appeared as a hologram above Lei-co, and told her that the New Republic betrayed her, much like her father and older sister. The Sith Lord said that only the New Galactic Empire could keep her and her remaining family members alive, and that her only options were to join him or perish at the hands of Jvsone. Shoval agreed to join Darth Katos, and Jvsone left the Senators ship soon after.

While on Cerea, Jvsone reunited with Borua Galnaca, now one of Tecave City's most notorious crime lords, and the two started to reconnect with one another. Galnaca revealed that his profits plummeted for a short while after Senator Lei-co Shoval passed a bill that caused the Pyke Syndicate to leave Molaca City, and that he found himself impressed with Jvsone after hearing of Bala the Hutt's death. Jvsone thanked Galnaca, and informed the crime lord of the New Galactic Empire's presence on Cerea. Jvsone offered to stay on the planet and assist Galnaca with the New Empire, while still maintaining himself as a bounty hunter. Galnaca agreed to this, and placed Jvsone as the highest rank among his men, second only to the crime lord himself. Jvsone would inform Dei-Mala of these changes whenever she arrived on Cerea.

Jvsone and Shoval still managed to work as bounty hunters under Galnaca despite the New Galactic Empire's rule over the planet, however the bounties weren't worth as much as they were a few years prior. In 102 ABY, Galnaca scolded Shoval whenever he realized her father, Ni-Hanna Shoval, owed him money. Galnaca demanded that she and Jvsone find and bring Ni-Hanna to him, dead or alive. Jvsone urged Shoval to leave Cerea with him, claiming that killing her father was something she wouldn't be able to live with. Shoval insisted that she already can't live with herself, and that if anyone was gonna give her father what he deserved it was gonna be her. They left Galnaca's base and headed for the Shoval's home, where they stormed inside and interrogated Malak-sin and Tora-bo Shoval. Malak-sin informed the bounty hunters that his brother was on Tatooine. The bounty hunters left Cerea, but where followed by Malak-sin. Realizing this, Jvsone managed to navigate behind Malak-sin's ship and open fire. With no weapons on his ship, Malak-sin was left with no options but to try evading the bounty hunters fire, which proved to be a successful tactic.

Death
When Jvsone and Dei-Mala arrived on Tatooine, the fight with Malak-sin continued throughout Mos Eisley and into a cantina. While inside, the bounty hunters saw Ni-Hanna, who tried to escape to the back exit, but was stopped by Dei-Mala while Jvsone continued to fight Malak-sin. Jvsone got the better of the old Cerean quickly, tossing him onto the floor and pointing his blaster pistol at him, insisting that he had no interest in Malak-sin. However, Jvsone was shot in the wrist by Lei-co Shoval, who also went to Tatooine after being contacted by her uncle, and Malak-sin kicked the bounty hunter away from him before chasing after Dei-Mala. Jvsone found himself in a fierce firefight against Lei-co and her New Imperial soldiers, and was easily overpowered. The Cerean drew her wrist blade and demanded Jvsone tell her who placed the bounty on her fathers head. Seeing the pain and anger in Lei-co's eyes, he decided he at least owed her an answer, and told her that Galnaca had placed the bounty. Lei-co then executed Jvsone when she stabbed the bounty hunter in the chest and set out to find her sister.

Personality and Traits
Jvsone was considered extremely wise for a bounty hunter, being seen as a man of few words, yet a force to be reckoned with as well. Unlike most bounty hunters, Jvsone was known to sacrifice an extra amount of credits at the expense of himself or others. Jvsone has also shown a small sense of morality, such as not killing Jedi Knight Ban Kodul during their battle on Adega, due to the presence of a group of Jedi Younglings. Jvsone was also known to have good composure, and a calm, observant attitude. He would rather wait and observe his surroundings during a mission and devise a plan based off what he found. Jvsone also preferred to not draw attention to himself in certain scenarios, and proved that he could also be a master of stealth when needed. He also showed to favor a nonviolent approach when necessary, such as on Nal Hutta, when he chose to flee from Junta Dakaar and his band of smugglers instead of fighting to his death as originally intended by Shoval.

When Dei-Mala Shoval began having emotional feelings towards him in 70 ABY, and told him that she wanted to become a bounty hunter and work alongside him. However, Jvsone made sure she understood that her accompanying him was "strictly business, no romance", proving that he didn't intend to use her feelings towards him in a manipulative way. Jvsone would continue this business-only partnership for many years, but would sometimes question his partners morals, such as in 102 ABY when she vowed to collect the bounty on her fathers head. Moments before his death, Jvsone shown his sense of morality again when he decided that Lei-co Shoval had been through enough pain due to her family, and informed her that it was Borua Galnaca that placed a bounty on her fathers head.

Skills
Jvsone was a very skilled bounty hunter, proving so many times throughout his eventful career. He was observant of his surroundings while on missions, and often wouldn't devise a plan until arriving at his destination. He was also skilled at gaining the trust of others, proving this whenever he had to speak to Bala the Hutt unexpectedly, and immediately spoke highly of the exiled crime lord. Jvsone would earn the nickname "Horned Trash Monster", later shortened to just "Horned Monster", from a group of Jawas on Raxus Prime.

Jvsone was also a well adept pilot, piloting a Firespray-31-class patrol and attack craft and even managing to crash land it in a swamp on Nal Hutta with Shoval and himself suffering minimal injuries, and an unknown starship that was stolen from Bala's Palace.

Jvsone also proved to be a skilled fighter, being able to wield multiple types of blasters and melee weapons. He was even capable of teaching the four Shoval sisters how to use many different weapons and develop fighting styles of their own, and win in a fight against Jedi Knigh Ban Kodul. With melee weapons, Jvsone proved to be skilled with the use of blades and even a quarterstaff, which he would use to face more than one opponent in battle. The Advozse bounty hunter had many different fighting styles he used to throw off his opponents, and many people believed melee weapons to be Jvsone's specialty. He also proved to be skilled in hand-to-hand combat, managing to fight off almost 20 men with his bare hands while escaping  'Gordamaus ' in 67 ABY. When it came to his blaster abilities, Jvsone's skills were impressive but limited. He was able to adequately defend himself against Kree'Tup, who wielded four blasters at once, and his men but wasn't able to defeat them. He was also quickly overpowered on Tatooine by the less-experienced Lei-co Shoval and her New Imperial forces, proving that Jvsone may have had a more difficult time defending himself against multiple opponents with just a blaster.

Legacy
Jvsone gained notoriety throughout the galaxy for many different reasons, whether it be from his Jawa-given nicknames or his successful assassination of Bala the Hutt and many of his followers, these traits would be remembered through stories told by other bounty hunters, smugglers, crime lords, and even the Jedi and Sith.

When Darth Katos learned that Jvsone was killed by Shoval, he attacked the Cerean with Force lightning and almost killed her, showing that the Sith Lord truly admired the bounty hunters work. A few weeks after Jvsone's death, Shoval ordered Lieutenant Pich Tetra to lead an attack inside Borua Galnaca's base, a move that would cause the demise of Galnaca, his followers, and his entire criminal syndicate simply based off of Jvsone telling the Admiral the truth before his death.

Many of the Hutt crime lords, who had formed a liking towards Jvsone after he killed the Hutt exile, Bala, acknowledged the bounty hunters death, some even ordering silence throughout their palace in remembrance. B'Loga the Hutt even went as far as having his body brought to his palace and cremated inside.
