Rikkit had a very troubled early life, constantly getting into trouble and generally being a nuisance to the people on his homeworld. One day, it was decided that it wasn't worth keeping him around, and plans were made to dispose of him. Before it could be done however, a mysterious man arrived and announced that Rikkit would be coming with him instead of being executed. While initially opposed to going along with a complete stranger, after a brief exchange and show of power, Rikkit conceded that anything was better than being surround by sticks in the mud.

From there, the mysterious individual took Rikkit in and confided in him the reason he saved his life, that being he had felt a strong connection to the Force, unusually so for a Kushiban. While unheard of, it certainly wasn't impossible, and he wanted to look into it further. Rikkit came from simple roots, and although he didn't have an extensive knowledge of the Force, he had always felt like things sort of "worked out for him" in his day to day life, which he supposed could have been because of this Force stuff the man was telling him about.

The mysterious man decided that he was going to take Rikkit in as his padawan and help him use his powers for good, and not just for selfish gain. However, but a few short years into his training, the iron hammer of order 66 came down, and threw Rikkit's life into disarray. He didn't understand the finer intricacies of politics or what had happened to villify Jedi so suddenly, or even what it truly meant to be a Jedi. All he knew, looking down at his master's body, is that he wasn't safe anymore.

The ones who killed his master must have been careless, because they left behind a seemingly uninteresting object Rikkit recognized as being something "for emergencies only". Upon inspection, it contained a pre-recorded message from his master, detailing the secret affairs unfolding beneath the guise of politics and trade wars, a frantic struggle for power that they were unfortunate enough to be caught in. His master was smart, but not smart enough to see his own death coming. He, however, had managed to impart vital information to Rikkit before he met his end: this was all the work of the Chancellor, and as long as he was in power, no Force sensitive individual was safe.

Barely having enough time to cope with his master's death, and the revelation that he was now being hunted for something outside of his control, he had to flee. Grabbing only the most essential things he could and using his master's ship, he fled and sought to keep himself as low of a profile as possible.

Having only a training lightsaber as a means to defend himself wouldn't get him very far, but thankfully Rikkit was always a crafty individual, managing to not only modify his weapon to function as a blaster, but also cleverly disguising it. It did however, still suffer from being only meant for Padawans to use in training fights, as his Master had never sent him on his journey to obtain a Kyber Crystal. But, as he had always told Rikkit, "Things always work out. You'll always get to where you need to be, even if the path isn't always safe."

Thus leaves Rikkit where we find him, uncertain of what the path ahead lies, but determined to somehow make things right, in whatever way he can.

Having his entire way of life be suddenly criminalized by Order 66 and the fledgling Empire, Rikkit holds a strong sense of wanting to make things right, even if he presents himself as shifty and hard-boiled at times. In reality, he wishes he had been able to fully make use of the second chance his master had given him before everything came crashing down around him. As such, he holds strong feelings against the Empire and wishes nothing more than to bring them low any way he can, even if he's only a single Kushiban.

Being a Force sensitive individual post Order 66, Rikkit is undoubtedly the target of a number of searches, a majority of which he does well to evade, given his unassuming nature and craftiness. However there may be times where something comes up he has no choice but to try and deal with, which he tries to handle the best he can.

Rikkit is on the shorter side, being around 4 and a half feet tall roughly.

Being a Kushiban, he's covered in fur that by default is tan-ish in color, with two large ears atop his head.

His eyes are heterochromatic, being green and blue.

Being a Kushiban, his fur has the ability to change color depending on his mood (note to self, make mood color chart to make colors more consistent and easier to keep track of)
