**Lax**, his full name according to himself to be "**ReLax"** was a Feeorin male who was a well known bartender and entertainer in the Sunstone bar, the Aromatic Hutt, and was a former Dusk Rider, leaving after the group decided to stop peddling Deathsticks in the outer rim. The reasoning behind this was because of Lax's own personal addiction to the drug, being consistently renowned for this.

## Biography

The Feeorin born as Lax would be raised on the Feeorin pirate planet Odryn, his father being called Murdo and his mother called Dessa. Lax’s father Murdo gained his name from his murderous and psychopathic tendencies, renowned in the Feeorin tribes as a killer, which his eventual wife Dessa, who believed could stop his dark ways, could ‘cure’ with their son they had, even naming him Lax as a shortened version of the word ‘Relax’. As a baby and toddler, Murdo would be calmed down by his son, even almost turning him into a completely different person, but due to his past catching up to him, a member of a Feeorin tribe in which Murdo had affected in the past came to take vengeance and instead of killing him, they killed his wife Dessa.

This was when Lax was 4 years old, and Murdo’s darkness erupted once again, completely unleashing his old self and eventually driving him to take vengeance by going on a killing spree  against the assassin’s tribe. The tribe was no match for Murdo’s combat prowess, and barely anyone in the region was, so they kidnapped Lax and used him as leverage against his father. Murdo hesitated, but his rage towards the tribe was too strong that he made a desperate attempt to kill all of the tribesmen holding his son alone, which took place in an area known for its natural disasters on the already unstable planet of Odryn and when the event took place, an earthquake destroyed the village, only Lax survived this as a 4 year old toddler by pure chance. His mother and father now dead, he had no where else to go, and would eventually be found by another tribe after he was seen wandering Odryn alone. This tribe had no idea of his connection to the infamous Murdo, and Lax still remembered his trauma very vividly, not ever sharing it with anyone else in the tribe as he was raised.

### Growing Up

When he was 8-10 years old, violent tendencies and outbursts occurred from Lax against other children in the tribe, becoming exceedingly selfish even by Feeorin standards, the tribe beginning to take action by punishing him in an attempt to discipline the boy. However, Lax saw this as more reason to be angrier, and when he was 12 years old he had snapped completely and killed another one of the tribes children with his bare hands. The tribe banished Lax permanently, and the Feeorin planetary security force would arrest him, and put him into a program in order to try and fix his unstable mentality. Eventually passing the programmes, he left and wanted to make his own way in the galaxy, hearing about pirate gangs and discovering their off world connections, he joined one at age 15 in order to get off of the world, believing it to be hell. In the pirate gang he joined, The Scraping Swords, he first came into contact with Death Sticks after his first job delivering them to people on Nar Shaddaa. During the job he smoked his first and felt good for once in his entire life, becoming instantaneously addicted to them, and his attitude becoming much happier and eccentric, caring for nothing but himself and what he felt. He found that his murderous tendencies became visions in his Death Stick trips, and his gesturing of killing those he had killed already formed into dance moves, transforming his old dark acts into actual dances, never feeling the need to kill impulsively again, though having no problems if he needed to.

### Pirate Years

After years of being a pirate, now at the age of 22, Lax became distasteful of members of his pirate gang, for the fact they were Feeorin, due to all the things his species had done to him before, and seeing a reflection of his old self in them. This made him leave the gang due to consistent reminders of his old life, and having enough credits to get endless amounts of Death Sticks for himself, settling down on the lower levels of Coruscant as he decided to become a bartender due to his entertaining personality and quick popularity in the underworld, having the time of his life in this job for a total of 2 years.

### Bartending

When he was 24, Lax was arrested by Coruscant Republic authorities after being framed by the Black Sun for killing 7 civilians who knew of certain criminal activities. The Black Sun had known of Lax’s occasional hot headedness and took advantage of it due to his previous arrests for violence and bar fights, and it was easy for the Republic to believe it was him, sentencing him for 30 years in prison. Whilst in prison, due to not having access to Death Sticks for massive chunks of time (Rarely acquiring them from inside criminal activity), his violent tendencies rose massively, though he only ever killed 8 people in comparison to the hundreds he injured. The majority in which he killed on the inside were in fact the Black Sun’s responsible for his framing in the first place, and he dealt with them as they came.

### Sunstone

He was released at age 54, in which he instantaneously went into the Outer Rim to live on the planet of Tatooine, having masses of Death Sticks to revert his mind back into a happy state. Becoming so addicted his Feeorin metabolism and growth rate was affected, making him much shorter than a standard 2 meter Feeorin, and occasional shortages of breath. In this year, he also joined the Dusk Riders of Tatooine, becoming their primary interplanetary courier between the other Dusk Rider gangs due to his experience as a pirate. He also simultaneously became increasingly more conflict avoidant due to not wanting to be taken away from his Death Sticks again and put in prison. Though deep down, he wishes that he could become a stable person without Death Sticks, though he himself does not know if this is at all possible.

### Moving to Nar Shaddaa

After the catastrophic events of Sunstone, Lax moved to Nar Shaddaa as a deathstick dealer and user for many years. In the year 9 ABY, he was involved in stealing Mr Eldsworth's special golden frying pan and reunited with people he once knew from Sunstone as Eldsworth had hired them to get his pan back. After randomly deciding to help them get it back, Lax travelled back to Coruscant with the rest of the hunters for a change in scenery and has remained there for the rest of known time.

## Abilities

**Master Dancer:** Either from experience or from excessive practice on Deathsticks, Lax is in fact an incredibly good dancer, his skill heightened even more so when he is high on Deathsticks. He was so good that he was even able to dodge entire blasts from sentry pylon turrets with dance moves.

**Exceptional Endurance:** Lax has both an exceptional exterior toughness due to his Feeorin body, and it appears that he is also the same on the inside as well. The number of Deathsticks he consumes daily would be impossible for a regular human or near human, and Lax has seemingly trained his internal system to be more resilient against its toxins as he shows no clear signs of side effects.
