J'onn Re'ddcap

"...The Mando took the money from the prize holder, I was livid. Tinhead said he wouldn't give up the money for nothing so naturally, I challenged him to a quick draw. If I win, I get half the money and if he wins... I join him as a Mandalorian, Ceremony and all. As you have probably noticed... I lost."
J'onn Re'ddcap formerly known as J'onn Berran was thick skulled gunslinger for hire on Tatooine. After a gunslinger competition was stopped by the arrest of the Toydarian prize holder from a Mandalorian that was hunting the Toydarian down. J'onn had won the competition and wanted his money. The Mandalorian was known as Jirren Re'ddcap and he wouldn't give up the money without getting something in return. J'onn being the hot headed boy he was challenged the Mandalorian to a quick draw. J'onn lost by a landslide, being shot in the right shoulder. From there on he was known as J'onn Re'ddcap.
==Pre-Mandalorian==
   As a young boy his dad taught him to shoot and ride dewbacks on his family's moisture farm on Tatooine. His early years being isolated and rarely going to any town made him a hot headed, freedom seeking, dim witted boy with an itchy trigger finger. By the time he was thirteen he split away from his father in Compton and went to explore the town, a group of rough headed mercenaries found him and played with his childhood innocence and asked him about his shooting skills since J'onn never split from his trusty DL-18. As you could expect he couldn't hit the broadside of a barn. He would repeatedly split from his father almost every time they went into town until J'onn was finally old enough to go into town on his own.
In his adulthood he became a gunslinger for hire after beating several thugs in Compton. His gunslinging didn't lead him to any fame nor did it get him much money. he would usually take jobs that dealt with low life thugs or even pest control. He moved away from his parents into a far away town where he would se up his new business. Later he would join gunslinger competitions where you had to accurately shoot as many targets as possible in 5 seconds. He wasn't very good. By the time he was 22 in 62 BBY, he finally won his first competition but the prize was taken when the Mandalorian Jirren Re'ddcap accompanied by Resro Re'ddcap took both the prize holder and the money. Feeling robbed, J'onn challenged Jirren to a duel. J'onn wins, he gets 50% of the prize and if Jirren wins, J'onn gets adopted and becomes a full fledged Mandalorian. J'onn had not even had his gun fully out of his holster before he was shot in the shoulder by Jirren's black WESTAR-34 blaster pistol. 
== Becoming A Mandalorian ==
J'onn was certainly not happy with his new life and was certainly not happy with his new job as custodian of the ship. he felt as if he had made a debt to a Hutt that he could never pay off. J'onn did not truly know how great this new life was for him. Many of the jobs J'onn would get would be either guarding the ship or following Jirren and Resro on their missions. These missions the Re'ddcap Clan would take we often high stakes high reward missions that usually left J'onn running and gunning. Jirren would insult J'onn on a regular basis for his ineptitude and hot headedness but It didn't take J'onn long to get a hold of his new life as a Mandalorian mercenary.
Early in his adventures, the Re'ddcap clan was given an escort mission on Alderaan by two nobles who lived there. On Alderaan he met a rival and soon to be friend Kesta Suvo. The nobles they were working for made bets on whos a better shot, J'onn or Kesta? Kesta showed that he's a far superior marksman with a rifle but J'onn, although not a great gunslinger, was raised a gunslinger and was better at shooting pistols. the nobles kept arguing who was but even after they finished the mission but during that time, clan Re'ddcap had taken a liking to Kesta and Jirren offered to adopt him into his clan to which Kesta agreed.
=== The Rhydonium Incident ===
We were given a mission by the Hutts to transport rhydonium from the mine to the refinery outpost. this job had a very irresistible amount of pay since they hadn't had any good jobs in a while. The clan agreed that Resro was the only person with a cool enough head to drive the hauler by himself to the refinery. The rest of them were to act as support to make sure the highly volatile cargo gets to the refinery. The Run was fine until pirates tried to take the rhydonium. they downed nearly all of the pirates but one of the pirates probably noticing they've lost, kamikazed with a thermal detonator blowing up the whole shipment resulting in no credits and the lost of the second in command Resro. This incident would never be forgoten by any Re'ddcap member. J'onn and Kesta were left with a seething hatred for pirates. J'onn was later appointed second in command of clan Re'ddcap
