BIOGRAPHY:
For millennia, the name "Tusken Raider" has conjured a certain image to the minds of settlers on Tatooine. The wild peoples from the desert. The monsters who pillaged outlander settlements. Yet they had their own name for themselves: the Ghorfa.
It is from these Ghorfa that A'Thumva was born. His tribe was one of the few that still had a pure Ghorfa stock. They did not believe in bringing the children of outsiders into their ranks, as other tribes had done. He was born the son of Thumva, the shaman of his tribe.
Like many males of his people, A'Thumva was raised in the way of his people. He was taught to be a warrior. He undewent the ritual of krayt-hunting, and recieved his pearl as a trophy. Following this, he was paired with a bull Bantha that bonded him to be his lifelong companion.
Yet, A'Thumva was different than his tribe. He was not as fearful about the ancient stories about the Builders. He did not understand why his people were so afraid of the sea of stars. He could not reconcile the hardship of living in the desert wasteland, when there were planets outside, filled with water and food in abundance. When he found the courage to voice his thoughts, it did not go as planned.
His own father cast him out, and labelled him "Prodorissac" - betrayer. He was forever banished from is tribe. For months, he wondered the deserts, avoiding the territories of his people. It was soon after that his Bantha passed from exhaustion. He continued the walk alone.
He found himself in civilization, in the settlement of Mos Maran. He was not welcomed at first, being continually shot at, but the threats soon died down when the settlers realized that this Tusken was alone and an outcast. A passing pirate captain took pity on the lone Tusken, and took him in. It was a barrier at start, with A'Thumva being illiterate in Basic and the pirate unable to understand Tusken
Yet, they soon found understanding as A'Thumva was taught the language of the outsider, and the ways of their technolgy. For years, he spent in service of the pirate as a powerful ally and enforcer. Yet, one job went bad and the captain ended up dead. After the dust settled, he gave his comrade a funeral and parted ways. He now roams the Galaxy, taking odd jobs as bounty hunter, pirate, and all around marauder...
TRAITS:
[+] Tracker: Having been taught to hunt for his food, A'Thumva is aware of how to track things in the wild. This has turned him into an effective hunter and scavenger.
[+] Multilingual: A'Thumva knows three languages. He was raised speaking the growling language of the Tusken Raiders. He was taught how to speak Basic by pirate mentor. Additionally, he was also raised with a form of Galactic Sign Language that has signs specific to Tusken terms. His tribe used it to communicate silently on raids, and he has used it in similar capacity with his underworld companions.
[-] Xenophobic: While not as strong as in his youth, A'Thumva is still wary of people he does not trust. This comes from years of being taught that "outlanders" are evil and not to be trusted. Yet, he will put things aside long enough to get a job done.
[-] Superstitious: Despite his exposure to the wider Galaxy, A'Thumva still holds to some superstitious beliefs of his people. He will never be seen revealed, per Tusken tradition. He also has some fear regarding the Jedi. His mother had told him stories of a "demonic spirit wielding a sword of blue fire" that attacked her ancestors centuries ago, which seems to fit the look of a typical Jedi.
