I wrote up another app for a bounty hunter (still a Trandoshan). Hopefully this is acceptable.

[b]History:[/b]
Balkk Yarroq, which roughly translates to 'He who hunts them alive', was hatched on Trandosha 48 years ago. He was in a cluster of 4 eggs and grew up with 3 brothers, all who much bigger than he. He was often called 'runt' by his brothers, his friends and even his father. To this day, he is still somewhat diminutive compared to other Trandoshan's, standing at 5 foot 10 inches. As a hatchling, Balkk's father was often out doing various scummy jobs for a surprisingly hefty wage with his friends. These including hunting Wookies for illegal slavery, mercenary work, smuggling and even the occasional bounty hunt. He would often recount the stories of his exploits to his four sons and promised he would take all four of them out on an adventure one day. Balkk's father later went on to join the Bounty Hunters Guild, where he impressed his sons even more with his stories and exploits. Balkk's father often disappeared for weeks at time but one day, he never returned. A holo-comm message from the Guild later said he had been captured and executed by Wookie pirates. They offered their condolences and gave the small family a small inheritance that his father had raised in his time at the guild.

The family was broken apart and with the main source of income gone, Balkk's mother forced her young sons to go out and get jobs. They ranged from picking up scrap to working behind stalls to delivering drugs. This meagre source of living kept the family going just above the poverty line. When the four brothers became young adults at age 16, their mother began looking at the possibility of all four joining the Bounty Hunters Guild like their father. Two years later, the brothers took physical and mental tests from the guildmaster to test their abilities. His brothers got in - Balkk didn't. Due to his 'small stature and trusting nature, we do not think our work is suited to Balkk Yarroq'. Balkk's mother immediately kicked him from the home and told him not to return until he got together some money and a job. Disheartened and hurt, he travelled from town to town, doing various odd jobs. He later heard his brothers were hunting murderers and pirates for the Republic and this sealed the deal - he would become a bounty hunter like his Dad, like his brothers. 

Rather naively, he approached a Duro bounty hunter he met in a bar and asked him to take him under his wing. The bounty hunter agreed and bought the Trandoshan a drink. He told him he had a contract on the moon of Wasskah and would require his help. He promised half of the pay, a blaster and an apprenticeship if he could help. Balkk agreed immediately. By the end of the hour, he was a on starfighter with the Duros and they flew straight to the moon of Wasskah. The bounty hunter told him his target lived in a shack in the middle of the forests and was very dangerous. He gave Balkk the promised blaster and let him follow as they walked deeper into forest. At this point, Balkk was beginning to get suspicious. However, it wasn't soon enough. The Duros turned and shot him in the foot. While the Trandoshan gasped in pain on the ground, he robbed him of all his belongings, leaving only the clothes on his back and left a bewildered Balkk to die. As he slipped in and out of conciousness on the forest floor that day, he realised all the people he had trusted in his life so far had betrayed him. His father never took him on his adventure, his brothers forgot about him as soon as they got work, his mother kicked him from the home and a bounty hunter had left him die on an uninhabited forest moon.

After a day and half a night in the wilderness, he was by chance found by a group of hunters. They took him back to Trandosha and wrapped up his foot, asking for payment. Balkk escaped during the night, having no money to reward them with. When he returned back to the town, the first thing on his mind was revenge. With no credits to his name and no weapons, he wrapped up his foot in a strip of cloth and hobbled around town looking for the Duro bounty hunter. Surprisingly, the bounty hunter hadn't left the town at all and according to several people, spent much time at the bar, gambling money, drinking strong alcohol and hustling 'suckas'. Instead of confronting him, he waited outside, sharpening his claws on a piece of stone. When the drunken Duros stumbled from the bar and out to the quiet dusk of the street, Balkk attacked with his claws and teeth, ripping and tearing at the Duros until he was just a mass of green blood and blue skin.. When he was sure the bounty hunter was dead, he stole all his belongings but was dismayed to discover all his stolen credits spent on alcohol and gambled away. As a reminder of his encounter with the Duros, he took it's index finger and still has it to this day. 

Among the items stolen from the Duros bounty hunter was a modified Holo-Transmittor that was logged into the bounty hunter general channel, where reports and request for bounties were posted. (OC: I'm assuming this is how aliens got into bounty hunting if they were outside the Guild, so this may or may not be canon). So, his bounty hunting career started. He began on small criminals, minor government officials and anyone minor who got a bit of money in. In those early days, he used his claws and teeth often to kill, usually at close range when the target never expected it. When he eventually got enough credits to leave Dosha, he did straight away. He found work as a bodyguard for a small-time crimelord on Coruscant who dealt in stolen weapons and armour. By this time, Balkk was past adulthood and was fully grown, a measly 5 foot 10 inches compared to the 6 foot 6 inches that was common in his species. His boss grew close to him but Balkk always weary of him, citing the relationship as purely professional. The boss occasionally paid him in weapons as opposed to actual money, which suited Balkk fine. The boss even had his underlings teach him to look after, repair and even modify his weaponry, a hobby and skill Balkk still enjoys. His boss was eventually arrested due to tax reasons and Balkk left to go trekking around the galaxy, stealing and killing for his credits. A particular calling card of his was to remove a finger or keep a trophy of the harder targets he killed. He also became known for his use of close combat as opposed from taking out targets from afar. This didn't stop him from using close-range blasters, though.

At the age of 44, the clone wars began and the call for bounty hunting increased significantly. He took targets from both sides, ultimately trusting credits more than his employers. Targets became worth more and so did the credits offered for them. He killed his first Jedi early in the Clone Wars, a young cocky Padawan. The Knight unfortunately escaped, taking with him a portion of Ballk's lower arm but he received a hefty price from the CIS for presenting them with the Padawan's lightsaber. Balkk realised that killing Jedi, although much harder, was more profitable compared small-time criminals. He had previously brushed off Jedi as being much too hard and numerous but with the Clone Wars often tipping to the side of the CIS, he saw his chance. He got quite a knack for killing Padawan's, as they were usually more brash and headstrong compared to their masters. By the end of the war, he had killed 5 Padawan's and an unlucky Knight, all for high prices. The risk of losing limbs to their lightsabers became quite apparent and he has lost several portions of all his limbs due to his preference of fighting in close quarters. Due to his regenerative qualities, his limbs all grew back (rather painfully) to their natural state, over the course of roughly a year.

Balkk is by no means a (in)famous bounty hunter but he is known amongst certain circles as an independent bounty hunter who can get the job done. He wields a large Trandoshan sword across his back, which is made specifically for fighting Jedi. It's alloy is Chalon, a rare ore that is typically sharper and harder than most. A few cuts by a lightsaber can slice the blade in two but it rarely comes to that. He keeps his claws and teeth sharp for battle and typically uses them at close range as opposed to blasters. His armour is a motley collection of battle armour and cloth, which built more for his own speed as opposed to heavy protection. Balkk has few friends, few enemies and likes to keep himself anonymous for fear his 'friends' will return at a critical hour in his life. The Trandoshan is approaching middle age, by which time he will lose his regenerative qualities and plans to retire with his small fortune to his home world of Dosha. Things are starting to look dark in the galaxy and Balkk plans to spend as less time in it as possible.
