Alternate e-mail: Rizzit@comcast.net History: Ever since Rizzit was a boy, he knew he had a hard life ahead of him. He and his parents weren't rich, but they were well-known. His father was famous for keeping a large number of New Republic troopers away from his family using various methods. He had a special area in the storage cellar that he used solely to hide the bodies in. The family had to hide the bodies themselves, if they didn't: the Republic would eventually find out. The Republic could never find out about this. If they ever found out about it, it could mean terrible things for Rizzit and his family. They weren't worried though, a few of their neighbors new about it, but they kept the Blackhearts' secret. In fact, they had shared views on the new republic: they just couldn't bring themselves to do anything about it.
Time went on, and the cellar was filling up. Rizzit was getting older too. By the time he had turned 6, his mother was about ready to have her next child: Rizzette. Apparently, she liked the idea of having two children with the same name basically (only the last parts of their names differed). With the addition of a new family member, the father knew that he'd have to be extra careful. The family was bigger now, and he couldn't risk something happening to a family member that wasn't even born yet. He knew what he had to do: cremate the corpses. After getting some aid from a trusting neighbor, the cellar was cleaned out; and there was no trace of a soldier's corpse to be found anywhere.
Rizzette was born, and things were going great. She was perfectly healthy, and had an abnormally healthy pair of lungs. After the first two weeks or so, her incessive whining began to draw attention to the Blackheart home. (Including a patrol of New Republic troops that the father allowed to enter, seeing as he was still overjoyed with the new family member. After seeing that the girl was not being tortured, they left the house.) As time went on, she began to cry less and so people either learned to ignore it (cause they heard it so often) or they would deal with it, when the need arose.
Rizzette was now older, she only whined when Rizzit would begin to tease her, but that was scarce now seeing Rizzit didn't spend too much time at home. Rizzit spent a lot of time with his friends, but when he wasn't racing speeder bikes with his friends: he was with his father helping him with "important buisness". He now was 10 years old. His body had grown quite a bit, so he could use a gun or blaster rifle if need be. (When he was smaller, they were too heavy for him.) Rizzit enjoyed killing the troopers like this. While at a young age he didn't like the idea of killing someone, Rizzit couldn't help but think that he was doing the right thing.
Three years had passed, and Rizzit went off on his own hunting the troopers now. His father now enjoyed spending time home with his wife and Rizzette. On the rare occasion that Rizzit had a race to compete in, (and by chance there were troopers on Tatooine that day) the father would go and hunt in Rizzit's place. The troopers were quite scarce now, due to all the troopers that have gone missing when they've gotten dispatched during the past years. However, the New Republic did not wish to turn a blind eye to the missing troopers. Therefore, they would dispatch a squad of troopers to investigate the situation. Every time though, either Rizzit or the father took care of them from afar. Nosy neighbors moved next-door to the Blackhearts. They started taking a big intrest in Rizzit and especially the father. There was no real way of saying wether or not they knew the family's secret, but the Blackhearts couldn't just assume that the Blackers could be trusted.
Two years passed. The troopers had gone from the planet alltogether. There was not a trace of them now. The Blackers still lived close to the Blackhearts, and still were not trusted. With no troopers to hunt, Rizzit had focused on his racing. He was getting quite good at it. One week, while the Blackers had gone on vacation: Rizzit had a big race that might qualify him to enter the professional races. Rizzit had gone ahead to get ready for the race, and the family was due to meet him later. On the way to the race, the family had come across a group of bounty hunters. Apparently, the family had good reason in not trusting the Blackers. They were in league with the New Republic, and had tipped them off primarily about the father.
The mother and Rizzette had fled the scene heading towards the racetrack. Hoping the gaurd would let them in to get Rizzit. The bounty hunters ignored them, because their bounty was solely on the father; NOT the rest of his family. (The Blackers reported that the father was responsible for the missing troopers, although it still remains a mystery as to how they found out.) The father was not about to go quietly. If he was going to miss his son's race, it was going to be due to the fact that he was killed; not because he choose to. He knew there was no chance of winning, but he was going to try his best to kill them all. In the meantime, the mother and Rizzette had arrived at the track. They were allowed to go get Rizzit, due to the urgency in their voice. The guards had no idea what exactly was going on, but they guessed that something had happened at home. They had no idea that the father was actually under attack.
By the time Rizzit got out of the race and got his weapons from his locker, he had a sense that he was too late. He couldn't be sure, but it was like he could feel that something happened; or was going to happen. When he got to where his father was, Rizzit was relieved to see he was still alive. (Alive, but losing the fight) Before he could get within firing range though, Rizzit saw one of the bounty hunters slice his father in the back of the head with a viroblade. That was quite enough, Rizzit was going to treat these bounty hunters with more hatred then he had ever treated the New Republic troopers. (Which was quite a lot) Deciding that blaster fire was not going to be the best course of action here, Rizzit took out his Vibrosword and engaged the remaining bounty hunters. Unfortunately, the hunters had anticipated this, and left one to deal with Rizzit; while the rest of them made off with his father's corpse. Rizzit easily defeated the hunter, but he was too late to save his father. When he delivered the final blow, Rizzit watched their ship fly out of sight. Rizzit returned to what was left of his family, trying to hold back his tears, to deliver the bad news in case they had not known what the ship was.
Many months had passed, the family still grieved the loss of their loved one. They had not let it rest though. Rizzit and Rizzette had sworn to their mother that one day those bounty hunters would pay. In the meantime, they had more urgent things to worry about. They were getting ready to move, it was getting to be too painful living in their old home. They weren't going to sell it, but Rizzit and Rizzette didn't feel it was safe for their mother to stay, and wanted her offworld. They had saved credits for quite a few months now, and had bought a place on Dantooine. It was more peaceful there, and if they had to leave their mother alone once they went off on their own: they wouldn't have to worry as long as the Blackers never found them. Before they left for the spaceport, Rizzit and Rizzette went into the Blackers' house and loaded the place with charges. Putting specific emphasis on the Rebel insignias they found throughout the house. They wanted to stay around to see the house blow, but they had to get to the spaceport as soon as they could. On their way to the spaceport, they heard the explosion go off. Rizzit wished that the Blackers were in the house at the time, but he knew this to be false. They were long gone. They arrived at the spaceport, and soon they were on their way. A new life lay ahead of them
A little more than a year passed by, and Rizzit was now 17. He had fully grown up, and Rizzette was coming along. An old friend of his, "Jedi" they called him, from Tatooine had kept in contact with Rizzit. He had been a part of something called "The Vast Empire". This had interested Rizzit deeply, he felt that it could be a way of tracking down the bounty hunters that mercilessly killed his father (and maybe with them, the Blackers). Jedi was in the Raiders Squad at the minute, serving under SGM_Snake. Rizzit couldn't wait to join the empire, and asked Jedi if he could pick him up. Rizzit had secretly packed that night, hoping he could join the next day. His family knew nothing of this yet, and he had no intentions of telling them until the last possible minute. They had all become close, and even Rizzit did not wish to leave, but his desire to avenge his father burned brighly in his mind. Rizzette wanted the same, but she was too young. She was only 10.5 years old, and he wasn't going to have her babysat. She was better off at home for the time being.
The next day, Jedi arrived on Dantooine with Snake and Cosmic. After meeting with them, they went off to the local cantina to talk. Rizzit wanted this done as far from the house as possible, so his family wouldn't find out. After having their talk, they were quite ready to accept Rizzit and let him join. It seemed that Jedi was moving on to bigger and better things, and was going to be leaving the Vast Empire. This left a good chance for Rizzit to get his foot in the door. He would take over for Jedi as Assistant Squad Leader of Raiders Squad, and would rank as a Sergeant. After the meeting was over, Rizzit went home to get his things, and say his goodbyes. Rizzit's mother did not take it well at all, she was still crying when he left; but she knew that it was not only something that he wanted to do, but had to do. Rizzette was eager to go, but Rizzit told her that she had to stay to "look after Mom". He did promise to come back to see them though, and hopefully with the corpses of those bounty hunters. Rizzit promised to maybe even come back for Rizzette someday. After giving each of them a hug, he left them for yet another new life. He knew he was doing the right thing, what he did not know was: when he would get to see his mother and sister again.
After saying his goodbyes, Rizzit met up with Cosmic, Jedi, and Snake. Jedi had chosen to remain on the planet and begin his new life outside the VE. Rizzit got onboard the imperial shuttle and literally took Jedi's place. Upon arriving on Tadath, Rizzit was introduced to the Prefect of the Army. Fury was someone who had respect, and a lot of it. Fury didn't seem like your everyday officer though. Unlike the officers that Rizzit had met, Fury didn't demand the respect: he earned it. Fury informed Rizzit of the rules he was to follow, and presented him three uniforms: a standard uniform to take on missions, a dress uniform to wear for ceremonial occasions, and a casual uniform to lounge around the barracks with. This uniform would be seeing the least amount of usage. Next to Fury was standing Japer, the Platoon Commander for Wildcard. Fury intoduced him to Rizzit. "Japer is the commander of Wildcard Platoon. You won't see him too much, but don't feel bad: none of us ever do." Rizzit had saluted the both of them. Snake had motioned to get going, he was quite eager to get him to the Raiders barracks. Fury dismissed them, and the two of them left. Cosmic had stayed with Fury and Japer, where he belonged.
At the barracks, Snake had shown Rizzit to Jedi's old quarters. He had also shown him the lounge, mess hall, and other such areas of the base. The bed next to Rizzit was empty, due to there being a small number of troopers in the squad at the time. For today, Rizzit was happy not to have a roomate. He needed to be alone on his first day away from home. He needed time to absorb all that had happened today, and maybe even think of what his future may have in store for him. The next day, Rizzit had met Nomar, Cloud, and Shadow: they were current members of Raiders like Rizzit. They welcomed him and treated him like he had been there forever, yet little did they know he was to be their new boss.
Months had passed, and Rizzit had seen some action. Unfortunately, he had also seen some death. Nomar had died during Rizzit's first mission. Rizzit had however met Otto, who would be sharing his quarters with him, at least for now. Within a month of meeting Otto, Snake had been promoted to a higher position. This had meant leaving Raiders. The time had come for Rizzit to step into the role of Squad Leader. He needed to select an assistant, and he immediately knew who to choose. Otto vox would be his assistant. Ironicly, not too long after his take-over as Squad Leader, new blood began to pour into the squad. Rizzit had met a new group of eager teenagers: D-13, JR, `Strider, and the3djedi. Also, one of the retired veterans had joined up with them: Colonel TJ. Ironically, he was the older brother of JR.
Two years passed. Rizzit got along with just about everyone that had come in and out of Raiders, treating all of his troopers like friends. He found this was the best way to get them to follow orders. Otto, on the other hand, was another story. He had 3 members in particular that he "disagreed with": D-13, Swomz, and Jubei. They mostly argued about trivial things, that Rizzit felt should have been left alone. Listening to Otto often gave Rizzit a headache at night. That was all about to change though. After coming back from their most recent mission on Mimban, Rizzit had recieved both good and bad news. The good news was that he got the privilage of moving up the ranks to assuming a role as Platoon Adjutant, a job that would result in his being Japer's personal assistant on top of being Raiders SL. The bad news was, that his Squad assistant was being taken away from him. Otto had finally been promoted to become Squad Leader of another Squad. Rizzit had the option of promoting another Squad Leader, but he declined. He enjoyed his time with his troopers too much to let go. So, he accepted his promotion and looked for a new candidate for his assistant.
One week later, Rizzit's answer came to him. During their last mission, they had acquired a new addition, Jikkyo Nimichii (otherwise known as Jubei's brother). This new trooper had great potential, like Jubei did when he first joined. More so, he had already proven that he'd go to any length to get things done. So, Jubei's brother would be the new Raiders assistant. Six months had passed, and more good news had come along with it. Otto was going to come back to Raiders. Apparently, Otto's squad disbanded and Otto chose to remain faithful to the end. Rizzit was more than happy to welcome him back, unaware that Otto was coming back just in the nick of time.
Two weeks later, Rizzit recieved his last bit of bad news. After about three years of being Platoon Commander, Captain Japer had decided to retire. Rizzit was therefore chosen to take his place. This was not an easy step for him to make. He had been with Raiders Squad for 2 and a half years, and it was with a very heavy heart that he decided to make the change. The change went quite smoothly though. Otto had been promoted to Squad Leader based on his experience, and Jikkyo remained ASL. The Squad was in capable hands Rizzit felt, but before he could officially take the office: he had to have a meeting with Cosmic and Fury to take an "Officer's Exam" to prove he was the best man for the job.
The test was quite easy for Rizzit. Having been acting Platoon Commander in Japer's absences, he knew what to do quite well. After passing the test, Rizzit had one chore remaining: he needed an assistant. He had recieved quite a few applicants for the job. Rizzit knew the applicant he would choose right away once they applied. He had been a former Squad Leader of Wraiths Squad, and they had worked together before. Rizzit liked having an assistant that he not only knew, but could trust. It also helped if the two of them got along :) Raziel was made the Platoon Adjutant, and Rizzit stepped into Platoon Commander. Things had been going good, despite the trying times. It had been 2 and a half years since Rizzit had left home, and look how far he had come. He felt that before he took his position up officially, a visit to home would be good.
Normally Rizzit wouldn't just ditch the Empire and take off like this; but nothing was happening at the minute that demanded his attention. During the flight home, he had pulled out a holovid of Rizzette and himself when they were younger. After watching the two of them play in the sand fields, he couldn't help but wonder if she missed him during his leave--or would she even remember him. He had sent holovids home to her and mother, but this would be the first visit home since he left. He had wondered how mother had held up these past few years, with it being only herself and Rizzette. At long last his starwind yacht had docked on Dantooine. He was finally home.
Upon arriving home, he had left the droids to perform some maintainance on the ship. He wanted it ready just in case he needed to leave in a hurry. After what seemed like an hour's walk, he made his way to the house he once called home. The house looked rather beat up, like it always did. It was almost a relief to see that they didn't improve the house. To Rizzit, it was like he was going back in time. Things seemed to be exactly the same. "Well, here goes nothing." Rizzit said with a sigh, and knocked on the door.
Rizzette answered the door and recognized him immediately. She gave him a great big hug before he could say hello. Then she literally dragged him by the arm in the house to see mother. Rizzit's mother had not changed. She was still the kind person that looked after him and cared for him for so long. They all sat down and had a long talk. Rizzit had informed his family that he was unable to track down his father or the bounty hunters that killed him as of yet, but he would not give up. He also told them of all his missions and adventures that he had been on during his stay in the empire. He was glad to be home.
Much to his dismay, his stay did not last long. He had left them the information where they could contact him, and gave his mother a good portion of that month's paycheck. He got his things, and had given each of them a hug. He was going to leave them again, but this time at least he knew they would be well taken care of. They've gotten along fine by themselves for two and a half years, and they were doing great. Rizzit shut the door behind him and took off for the spaceport. He had not gone far from the house, when he noticed Rizzette chasing after him. She wanted to know if he was going to keep his promise to come back for her. Rizzit knew what she meant, and sadly shook his head. She was only 13, and still very young. The empire would never allow someone so young to join. He also didn't want her leaving mother alone. While she was very upset by his answer, Rizzette knew that her brother was right. He took her by the hands and told her that he would keep his promise, just not this time. That cheered her up a little bit, and had stopped her sniffling. Rizzit knew she only wanted to come because she missed him, and thought she could spend more time with him this way. He decided to walk her home before headed back to the spaceport.
After taking Rizzette back home a giving her another hug, he began his journey back to the spaceport. After another hour it seemed, he was finally at his ship. He told AX-33 to take off and head back to Tadath. Once he got back to his office, he dropped everything immediately until he could send out another holovid to Rizzette. This one, however would not be a current one. He sent out a copy of the holovid that he had been watching during the trip back to Dantooine. Once it was sent, Rizzit had rushed off to meet Raziel. They had a job to do.
