Criminal-
Tiko's early days were spent making a name for himself in gambling halls across Courescant, running up tables and making an easy living off of manipulating computer-based gambling games. His reputation as an addict, as well as a cheat and a crook, followed him for a long time amongst his fellow gamblers. Almost nobody is willing to take him up on games of chance or skill if there's a computer involved, which is probably a good thing; Tiko's days of slicing are far from over.

Risk-Taking-
Tiko loves to chance his luck when he can. He knows he has very real limits, but even those won't stop him from trying something that might be costly. Even with his gambling career, his real love wasn't risking a few thousand credits on a roll of the dice; it was chancing his slicing abilities against the machines that could be exploited for an easy payday.

Favor-
Tiko owes a lot of money to a human bookie from Courescant, after she paid for a lot of his suspected gambling debts that he built up after his gambling exploits were discovered. She lords the monetary debt over him, pushing him to do odd jobs for him every once in a while to pay off a portion of his debt.

Tiko is a very frail, unassuming Twi'lek in his late teens, and what he lacks for in size he makes up for in quick thinking. He's not very good with a blaster, but he's no stranger to a fight, relying often on making a quick getaway rather than trying to face conflicts head-on.
