Background

From the day Acerro was born he had his work cut out for him, having been sired to the Cuwo clan; a small but respected clan of dogmatic warriors native to the planet of Rodia who often worked as soldiers, mercenaries, law enforcement or bounty hunters.

Before he had even opened his eyes for the first time the Clan Elders revealed to his parents that he would live the life of a Bounty Hunter.

This greatly troubled his father, Kitad, who himself worked as Law Enforcement for the New Republic. However, his father could not deny the decree of the Elders either.

As such Acerro was brought up in their traditions, studying the strategies of his ancestors and learning the languages that would be most useful for him, the two most prominent languages he had to learn early on aside from Rodese were Huttese and Galactic Basic, as the majority of his employers would likely speak it, yet his Father also ensured he would also learn Houkese, seeing as Kitad's long time friend and partner was also a Houk.

The physical side of his studies did not start until he was ten as the principles of honor and warfare, the respect for a weapon as the tool it was needed to be instilled in him first, lest he fall from grace in an end that would embarrass the clan.  The other warriors of his clan would teach him the use of blaster pistols and bladed weapons, if only for the fact that he had been smaller than the other children and could not use the heavier weapons. However, this proved to be a blessing, Acerro demonstrated natural aptitude for these tools and soon dedicated any time he wasn't studying or playing to these practices for the next eight years.

It was during this time that he had started reading holo-comics and watching flicks when he could get the time, one such hero of these was often very vulgar and would regularly let loose a torrent of insults upon his enemies who would be both infuriated and embarrassed, often causing them to slip up and make a mistake which would see the hero exploit this to secure victory.

This hero's mannerisms greatly influenced Acerro and he would become more and more obnoxious as he grew older.

When the time finally came for Acerro to depart his ancestral home and carve out his destiny in the galaxy, his Father, now retired convinced Acerro into taking an early inheritance, later using it to purchase himself a YV-260 he had painted an intense violet and named it "The Tendril" but aside from this it came with it's stock equipment. He had planned to one day have the beauty undergo full modification, but could not at this time… As he was saying his final goodbyes to his father, knowing it would be unlikely that he would see him again anytime soon embraced his father. Perhaps for the first time since childhood. Yet as he again tried to leave he was once again stopped by another familiar figure. Bota, one of the warriors who had trained him. Bota gave him everything he would need to start off his career as a bounty hunter, including a pair of stun cuffs, two DT-12 Heavy Blasters and two Repulsor Throwing Razors.

With his final goodbyes said, he boarded The Tendril and departed Rodia. While charting a course for Tatooine in orbit above Rodia he pondered what the future held for him, what adventures awaited him and as he began to charge his hyperdrive.

The signal pinged when the Hyperdrive reached max charge and as it had, he came back to his senses and engaged it.

Upon arrival at Tatooine, he hailed the Mos Eisley spaceport and requested permission to land, declaring that he had business on the planet and that he may be here for a few days and requested a taxi be waiting..

Upon landing, he registered his credentials, paid fees and entered the waiting taxi.

It felt like hours had passed when they had reached their destination, but it had only been minutes. Acerro exited the cab, paid his fare and entered the building. He registered as a new Hunter with the guild and would receive his badge and new credentials.

He started small, deciding it best not to take stupid risks this early in his career, opting only to pursue lowlifes and lesser criminals while he learned the tricks of the trade. As time passed and he collected more bounties his confidence grew and upon the second anniversary of his first hunt, he made the decision to take on his first real job, something that paid more than expenses and his next meal.

It was time to make some real money
