Physical
Rex is not one known for his physical ability. However, he is not a weakling either. His life in the Coruscant alleyways has led to an increased sense of hearing, allowing him to hear miniscule or minor things on the battlefield.
Mental
Rex is easy to trust others, often leaving potential strangers with his life in their hands. He also is able to easily manipulate those with weaker minds due to his years of work volunteering for and dealing with politicians and his short term in organized crime. He is a fast talker, often creating lies that can get him into trouble later.
Rex can also suffer from slight dementia, though this is rare and has only occurred once when Rex was ten years of age. A psychologist later determined this was due to a lack of development to a miniscule part of the brain, which led to the episode.
Bio
Early Days
Rex was a bright young boy, adept at many things throughout his childhood. He was brought up by parents who were both politicians in the local city government. Because of this, he was exposed regularly to different alien species and many different types of speech, allowing him to become multi-lingual. His young mind adapted to this and he was soon babbling away to his friends at school's in several languages in one sentence to impress them. This led to him becoming the ringleader of a group at school and as he grew up, this soon became his own gang.
Latter Days
He soon turned from a babbling child of 8 trying to impress his friends to a babbling teenager of 16 trying to keep an illegal deal from going bad. He had come to resent his parents and their constant worry. He only had eyes for the crime scene with it's offer of fast money and quick action. However, that action is what almost killed him.
It was like any other night in Rex's new, fast paced life. He had left his house after another fight with his parent's. He had met up with some of his "friends." Now he was on his way to a small, cramped alleyway shoved next to a seedy bar in a bad part of the city. He had approached the darkness of the alley with caution, leaving his friends to keep watch at the mouth of the alley. His contact was another human, a much older one at that. The man's features were hidden in the gloom of the alley, but Rex could see the man was extremely tall, being at least three clear inches taller than him. This did not sway Rex's confidence, however, as he knew he was a talker and a good one at that.
"You Rex?" the man said in a hurry. His voice seemed higher then it should have been and quivered slightly. Rex noticed this and was slightly concerned. My contacts never act this way. He had shrugged it off after that without much thought. He was sorry he had.
"Yeah, I'm Rex. You have the "goodies?" Rex said, using the slang he had created himself for the volatile munitions in the man's crate. He was part of a large weapon smuggling ring on Coruscant, mainly smuggling blasters and military grade rifles to crime lords across the city. How he had come to know these crime lords and their smuggling contacts, Rex can not remember. All he knows now is that he wishes he had never come to know them.
The man nodded and opened the crate, revealing a small stash of thermal detonators and several small hand blasters.
"This it?" Rex said, surprised at the small amount of weapons the man had brought.
The man nodded again, then quickly looked down at the crate as if expecting something. Rex noticed this odd behavior and turned to check on his lookouts at the mouth of the alley. "Clear?" He said, his voice almost choking the now increasing gloom of the alley. It was late night and even the lights of many shops and bars could not penetrate the darkness of the alley. He received no response.
He called out again, only this time he stopped mid-call. He heard a new sound, growing closer, louder, becoming an incessant whine...
"Cops. Damn, you set me up!" Rex yelled, turning to face the contact. To his surprise, the man had left, surprisingly silent for a man of his stature, but had left the crate in his haste. Rex quickly looked in the crate again, straining his eyes for the blasters. He knew the thermal detonators would only bring him more grief, as he did not know how to properly use them.
Finally, one caught his eye and he quickly tested it by firing it at the wall of the alley to see if they actually worked. The shot rang out, louder than Rex had anticipated, and a glowing white hole appeared in the metal of the building. By now, the whine of the police had become louder and he could faintly hear orders being given by foot units. It dawned on Rex that he was facing more than he could handle. He knew how to point and shoot a blaster, which might help if he was facing one or two rent-a-cops. However, by the sound of the many sirens Rex could tell that he was being chased by at least four groups of police. He quickly put the blaster in his belt and started to run as fast as his feet could carry him.
He burst out of the alley into the brightness of the streets, like a first ray of light from a newly risen sun. He looked behind him in time to see the first of the police coming down the opposite street, leaving him with little time to spare. His heart pumping and his mind racing, he struck off for home and what little protection it offered.
Hours later, covered in dirt and assorted other unidentifiable garbage, he quietly entered his house through the front door. His parents, surprisingly, were in bed. Rex thanked whatever higher power there was for making it home alive and well, vowing from that moment forward to separate himself from crime.
After several more years of study and countless hours perfecting his speaking techniques, he finally decided that a life in the Vast Empire Army would be a welcome change from the world of politics.
