Description: Ruust'narek is a rare Lethan Twi'lek, a twi'lek with a deep vibrant crimson skin hue. He stands at 1.88 meters, weighing around 225 pounds. Rek has large schrapnel scars from his left lower abdomen all the way up his chest to the right side of his neck and right facial cheek, a trophy from his final battle of the Yuuzhan Vong War. Rek's casual attire is a grey tunic and black pants with brown combat boots. Rek wears a few pieces of Imperial Sand Trooper armor on his chest, back, left shoulder, left upper/lower arm, and left gauntlet, a trophy he took from his first kill as a Mercenary. Rek sports a large brown duster that conceals most of his body. He decorates his lekku with beads that belonged to his daughter and feathers from various places around the galaxy.

Short History: Ruust'narek was born on Ryloth, a blessing to his parents due to his beautiful crimson skin. He had a normal childhood, with the exception of having to help bring food into the house. He worked part-time with an uncle as a mechanic, learning the skills of the trade. Eventually, he grew up and became a professional mechanic. For the most part, he fixed swoop bikes, civilian transports, and any other ships that needed some fixings. He married a beautiful rutian Twi'lek named Shahr'azad and had a beautiful daughter.
In 25 ABY, the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the Galaxy and bombarded many planets. Rek was among on of the billions who lost their home and families in Vong attacks. So, filled with hatred and feeling he had no home left on Ryloth, he left and joined the New Republic Army as a Military Engineer in 26 ABY. He fought against the Vong for 3 years, including in the Battle of Borleias, all the way until the 2nd Battle of Coruscant. During the re-taking the planet, his unit was paired with an armor unit from the Imperial Remnant. While on patrol, their AT-ST walkers were hit by mortar fire and most were destroyed. Severely injured from the resulting shrapnel, Rek and two other engineers did their best to make enough repairs to the walker so that it's pilot could fend off the oncoming Vong. Shortly after the firing began, Rek fell unconscious. He awoke in a Mobile Hospital to find out that the fighting had ended and they had won Coruscant back. The doctor informed him that, due to his injuries, he was being honorably discharged. He was enraged that he had not been there to help his brothers take back Coruscant and that he had done so little to avenge his family. Weeks later, when he was released from the hospital and after the ceremonies, he left Coruscant for Nar Shaddaa, the only place he thought he could start a new life. There he became involved with a group of mercenaries and on his first job with the group, traveled to Tantooine to kill an old Imperial for some gambling debt he owed a Hutt, collecting the armor and rifle from the man's home that he would wield for the remainder of his career.
Currently, he working as a Merc for the Czerka Arms Corporation, mostly doing engineering and mechanical work, but always willing to take up his rifle and slag whoever he has to. He is wholly unaware that he is about to be assigned to a mission that will change his life.
