"Someday all the galaxy will know my name."

— Asaaj Starwalk

Childhood

Asaaj was born the bastard child of a young slave, and a vigilante gang member. His mother worked as a dancer in cantinas to etch out a meager existence. From the time he could walk he was involved with crime. He stole from local markets, the spaceports, and smuggled deathsticks. Asaaj had more run ins with the law in his first 7 years than many other sentinents had in their entire lives. He would often get in fighs with other local boys, earning a reputation as one who "took no bantha shit from anyone."

Around the age of 9 the small apartment he and his mother called home caught fire, Asaaj was the only survivor. This would instill a lifelong fear of fire he would carry for the rest of his life. Now alone sleeping in the dusty alleys he fell ever deeper into the world of crime.

Teen Years

Lost Soul

When Asaaj was 14 years old he joined a local swoop gang known as the "Lost souls." Now part of something resembling a family Asaaj felt at home. He was the star of the gang, the best pilot, the best shot, the fastest. He loved this life, the feeling of dominance, the invincibility. He rose through the ranks fast, but he was increasingly at odds with the groups leader. Asaaj wanted more decision making power, to attack bigger targets. He was a risk taker, while the groups longtime leader favored small, easy targets.

Wezzy Sunny

Over the next few years Asaaj saw as new recruits came and went. Some were not cut out for the criminal life. Some dying. Some leaving. One in particular caught his eye. Wezzy Sunny, an itkotch about a year older than him. Asaaj saw much potential in the mysterious man. The two hit it off, becoming partners, and for a time taking Asaaj's mind off of his discontent with the group.

Then Wezzy vanished without a trace. Asaaj returned to his usual ambitious self, his discontent with the group reaching new highs. The Lost Souls were split into two camps. Those loyal to Asaaj, and those loyal to the current leader.

Bleeding Hearts

Finally fed up with the group, Asaaj took those loyal to him and set off on their own. Cristening the group "Bleeding Hearts" Asaaj had his venue to power. Their first order of business was putting the remnants of the Lost Souls out of business. The raid was a massacre, the Lost Souls were no more.

Now Asaaj turned his Bleeding Hearts loose on Tatooine. Quickly rising to become one of the strongest swoop gangs on the planet. The power, the weath, the infamy. This was the life Asaaj strived for. To add to Asaaj's life Wezzy returned to the gang, becoming second in command. Continuing to plunder, continuing to gain notoriety things were going well. Asaaj, however, wanted more. He wanted more than Tatooine could give.

Asaaj and the senior members of the Bleeding Hearts purchased an Aggressor Assault Fighter and set off for Coruscant to make it big.

The Coruscant Years

A New World

Upon arriving in coruscant Asaaj, Wezzy, and the rest of The Bleeding Hearts found a planet vastly different from the sands of tatooine. This was going to be a whole different form of crime. No longer could the gang raid loosely defended encampments and terrorize starports guarded by untrained militia. Asaaj decided that the gang would need to learn how to operate in the dense cityscape. And so they descended into the underlevels of the city planet.

They set up shop in an abandoned nightclub in one of the poorest neighborhoods, carefully observing how local gangs operated and the power of the authorities. Weeks of observation went by, gathering information about where to strike. Asaaj knew that the gang needed its own territory, and to do this he would need to take it by force. Finally he decided to strike..

With the few weapons they managed to smuggle past imperial security checks the gang made their way to a club frequented by the local gang. Taking up positions throughout the establishment they waited for Asaaj's signal. When the resident gangs leadership emerged from a back room Asaaj drew his Dl-18 and fired in the direction of the group. Like a swarm of bees the rest of The Bleeding Hearts began firing their weapons too. Civilians began screaming and running for their lives as blaster bolts filled the air, mainly from the Bleeding Hearts. Taken off guard the resident gang stood little chance. Asaaj and his crew made quick work of them. Now with territory of their own Asaaj set his sights on expanding their power.

Gods of Crime

Asaaj took a unique, piratical approach to crime on coruscant, allowing safe passage for vessels if they paid up. They also expanded into other areas, defeating rival gangs, and recruiting new members. The gang kept attacking bigger and bigger targets ranging from hijacking military convoys, to holding diplomats for ransom. Asaaj and his entourage were enjoying the highlife at the helm of the most powerful crime syndicate in the planets history. Asaaj was known throughout the land as one of the most powerful crime lords in the area. They began expanding off planet, creating asteroid bases for storage of more smuggled goods. Asaaj even striking up a relationship with one of the females in the gang. He was living large, at the height of his life. But things would soon come crashing down..

Fall

After receiving a tip that a large shipment of weapons were stored in a warehouse the Bleeding Hearts moved in for what they thought would be another easy raid. Upon entering they found the large cache of weapons, they began searching through the crates of weapons. They were preparing to load their haul onto their transports when a thermal bomb detonated, collapsing the building and creating a massive fireball. Asaaj watched as Wezzy was nearly crushed by a section of the roof. He watched as other members of the gang he worked so hard to create burned, and were crushed. Asaaj himself was engulfed in flame, it felt as though his skin was peeling off. He couldn't move. He couldn't breathe. Asaaj began crawling his way out of the warehouse, watching as others that were trying to escape were cut down by blasterfire from outside. Asaaj himself was struck in the left eye. He succumbed to the pain, falling unconsious as he saw his friend Wezzy coming to him.

He awoke in one of the gangs asteroid hideouts. Alone in the dim lights Wezzy, his arm burnt, and his leg bandaged, was applying bacta patched to Asaaj's burnt skin. Asaaj's bandaged right eye was completely destroyed, along with the surrounding skin. He could hardly breathe. He could hardly move. He was alive, but that was all.

A New Life

Asaaj and Wezzy began traveling through hyperspace with no destination, moving from starport to starport. They did odd jobs to get by, Asaaj generally showing very little skin. This was not the life he wanted, he had to get back to prominance. He was angry, angry that his life had been taken from him. That his love had been taken from him. He vowed to bring anyone that challenged him down. His pride, and his friendship with Wezzy were his only guide.

He served a brief stint with Ubrikkian Industries hauling vehicles across the galaxy. He was reduced to a mere spacer, this was a disgrace to him. He hated it. He soon quit and continued his nomadic lifestyle. Where it is believed he and Wezzy have settled down somewhere in the Outer Rim.
