Darth Ximus

Darth Ximus, birth name unknown was a Human male from. He was abandoned as a child, and left to die in the streets. Luckily, a smuggler named Meridan picked him up and brought him home. He took the name Ximus, and for the next twenty years of his life he helped Meridan with his job. Soon he became dissatisfied, and began to pursue a carrier as a bounty hunter. He was successful, in part because he was, and because the amount of bounties placed during the was high. Even after the the bounties were still high. It was only after the Jedi and Republic soldiers came back and crushed the Sith Empire that the bounties disappeared. Ximus blamed the Jedi, and returned to Nar Shadaa. There he met Ne-Rei Dis, a dark Jedi. She sensed that he had a force connection, and that he had much darkness within him. She took him to where he began to train under Darth Furious.

Early Life
Ximus was born to unknown parents on Nar Shadaa. He was left to die in a backstreet, and would have, if the smuggler Meridan hadn't been running from some unhappy gangsters. He came across the baby, and brought Ximus home. From then on, he trained Ximus in the ways of mercenaries, smugglers, and bounty hunters. At some point, Ximus decided to take his name, and so Ximus was then truly born. For the first twenty years of his life, Ximus made many smuggling mission for the Galactic Republic, Sith Empire, Hutts, crime lords, or anyone else who would pay. He favored a blaster pistol as his weapon on these missions, because they were light and quickly fired. These weren't the only reasons. It went back to one of his missions.

Mission for the Sith Empire
"Hello sirs. We have taken over this ship and are asking you to please get in an escape pod and get away from here. This is you new captain, wishing you a wonderful day."

- Ximus uses the intercom to tell the remaining crew to leave.

Ximus and Meridan had no issue smuggling for the Sith Empire. They were hired by the Empire to steal a shipment of weapons and armor from the Republic, for 100 credits per weapon. They eagerly accepted and hurried to the location of the shipment. As the weapons were being loaded they sneaked aboard the ship. Just after the ship took off, they revealed themselves to the guards. The attacked an overpowered them. Then they headed into the bridge. As the burst into the room, more soldiers attacked them. They overpowered this group as well and commandeered the ship. They triumphantly flew to meet the Imperials, and handed over all of the weapons, save a pair of blaster pistols. These Ximus kept, and he continued using them into his career as a bounty hunter.

Bounty Hunting
"I'm not your average bounty hunter. I miss bounties all the time. But I take so many jobs that I win more than I loose."

- Ximus talks about his job.

Shortly before the Ximus began to loose interest in the mild business of smuggling. He parted ways with Meridan. Returning to Nar Shadaa he began a life of hunting. He took all of the jobs he could get, and couldn't complete many of them. He could complete many of them, and slowly began to get better and better. Unknown to him, he was force-sensitive and was using it to add him in his work. During the Sacking of Coruscant Ximus was on Nar Shadaa, purchasing a set of light armor for himself. It included an intimidating helmet, and Ximus felt the it was overall appropriate for his line of work. Later that day he heard of the treachery of the Sith Empire and feared that the amount of bounties would go down without a war. He was proved wrong, however, and began taking jobs almost exclusively from the Sith Empire. He wore his armor, wielded his pistols, and proclaimed his allegiance to the Sith Empire with pride. He became more boastful, and prouder. He began to take only "dead" jobs, not "dead or alive". His name became a feared name among the mercenaries and scoundrels. Everything seemed to be going as good as it could be. But disaster struck. The Jedi and Republic soldiers attacked the Sith Empire and swept it away. The marched into the outer rim and didn't stop. The Sith Empire was destroyed, and now the level of bounties went down to a level never before seen by all but the very eldest. Ximus was furious. He said that the Jedi were responsible, and the Republic too. He swore revenge on them, but had no idea of how to get it, until he was found by Ne-Rei Dis.
