King
Character
Bins and empty crates littered the busy alleyways and streets of lower Coruscant. Neon lights flashed and buzzed away illuminating the hive of people that roamed, all doing their best to survive the chaotic lower levels of the city planet.
Two sets of footsteps echoed down a dull side street. It was covered in food waste, vomit, shattered glass and other kinds of rubbish. Clearly a dump to the cantina and club either side. The first set of footsteps slid to a halt, a building blocking their path, a dead end. A Barabel spun on its heels to face its chaser.

King finally caught up to his target, he had chased this thing through back alleys and side streets for what felt like days. The flashing lights, sounds and smells all blurring into one haze of a thought. The only thing he had had his attention on was the creature he tracked. Now here it was standing at full height in front of him. Sharp claws dangling by its side. Yellow eyes seemed to glow from their sockets, red scales surrounding them.King had always been a large man, being a clone created to fight for the Republic, standing and 6'5. But even be felt small compared to this creature, He still wore his Phase II armour and had his trusty DG-29 blaster pistol, flicked it to stun and pointed it at the Barabel.
"Alright Vivara put those hands up. It's over so make this one easy for me." King said as the stare down began. His HUD alerted him to the movements of those around them. Slowly the homeless people began to head out of the alleyway not wanting to get involved.
"Didn't think you would keep up with me." Vivara said, his clawed hands searching his hip for his blaster, only to remember dropping it the first time he encountered King. "You don't really leave me much choice."
Vivara dived down onto all fours and began to charge King. An electronic pulse left King's blasted the blue ring flew towards Vivara and dissipated on the creature.
A memory rushed through King's brain, a mere voice on the wind. "An' don't even bloody well think about trying' to stun those overgrown lizards, their scales are too damned thick!" The voice of his old mentor.
"Blasted lizard!" Kings thumb quickly switched the blaster back into its normal mode and let of two rounds each one find home. Vivara slid across the moist ground stopping at King's foot. "Woulda' preferred to take you alive." King open his hololink and contacted a shrouded figure. "Got the shorttail. Transfer those credits." As quick as it appeared it was gone.
King used the back entry into the cantina, just the usual dank, musky cantina. A central bar, tables surrounding it. Off to the side through a corridor King noticed the gambling tables. But for now it was time for a drink.
