History:
Born in the lower levels of Coruscant Jimmy Rock lived a rough childhood. He was abandoned when he was ten. The next few years of his life were spent begging and scrounging for food and money until he was finally taken in by a bartender in an extremely rough neighborhood. It was in this bar that Jimmy was given the name JR, the name he would use for the rest of his life. Since the bar was located in a rough neighborhood, JR was forced to break up numerous bar fights. This made him tough and taught him how to cope with pain. It also taught him the useful skill of hand to hand combat and melee fighting. This soon became his preferred style, as he liked knives and daggars as opposed to blasters. It was also here where he met Han Solo and many other smugglers. They all told JR the stories of their missions and all about the money that smuggling can make you. JR was introduced to a new dream. A dream of being a smuggler, of being in the stars and making his own money, eventually becoming famous, and being known as one of the best in the galaxy.
At the age of seventeen JR decided to follow his dream and left the bar that he had called home for the past five years of his life. He began by doing minor jobs for the smuggling rings in the lower levels of Coruscant. It was through these jobs that he ran into another smuggler and soon to be best friend and partner Darin Epps, another human who had lived the same life as JR. The two emptied their pockets and bought a ship of their own. Although it was only a beat up YT-1300 light freighter it was JR's chance to escape from Coruscant and be amongst the stars. The two partners dubbed the ship Alpha Wolf and launched off to where ever the were to be needed.
In the two years that followed the two partners were beginning to make some noise in the smuggling rings and were known as some of the best up and comers in the business. Their journeys had fulfilled the young duo's dreams more then they could ever have imagined. They had traveled from one end of the galaxy to the other and had even began hearing the stories of some of their more dangerous missions being told in the far corners of the galaxy.
However, one day changed JR's life forever. He and Darin had been given a relatively easy mission smuggling spices to a crime lord on Coruscant. JR looked at the mission and laughed they hadn't had a easy mission for a while. As they left Nar Shadaa they were on top of the world, they were becoming richer by the day the Alpha Wolf was now a top class shuttle and they had an easy mission to look forward to. They landed on Corcuscant and easily got past customs. As they approached their destination JR was surprised to discover that it was the old bar where he used to work. It all suddenly all made sense to him. He realized the reason for all the smugglers being there all the time.
He told Darin to wait outside while he talked to his former employer and the man that he had thought of as a father. As he stepped inside he saw the man's face light up and break into a smile. It was then that JR heard a commotion outside. He walked up to a window and looked out. He was shocked by what he saw. A rebel guard had wandered down to this level, and had started a fight with Darin. Not thinking, JR ran out the door to help his friend. The commotion startled the guard and he pulled out his blaster and pointed it at JR. The rest happened in slow motion as JR watched the guard begin to pull the trigger. It was then that Darin jumped in front of JR and took four shots to the chest. JR looked helplessly as Darin's lifeless body hit the ground. Realizing what he had done the guard took off down the street. Before he could round the corner JR pulled out his blaster and filled the guard with rounds. He knelt beside the corpse of his friend and swore that he wouldn't rest until the New Republic is destroyed and the Empire is in power once more. With that he left everything from his life behind, sold the Alpha Wolf and joined the Vast Empire Army, where he has been keeping his promise to his friend for the past two years. |
