Often declares that he is ‘above’ the mundane and trivial tasks, but then will often quickly starts to work and get involved in the dirty work, regardless of his declarations. Dislikes mess, disorganization, needless dirt, but will get messy to get the job done. He is a little anal-retentive and obsessive about his work; even to distraction. He doesn’t threaten or use physical force to pressure others, even though impressively built. Uses his physical strength to do his work, and he considers practice with melee weapons part of his work. However he has been known to enter battle or confrontation just to see how his equipment behaves. It is rare but in the past he has lost control and ‘snapped’, taking violence to far and causing more harm than intended. After those times he is often filled with self-doubt, grief.

Become an Armor Master. Craft the perfect Melee weapon. Craft the perfect Kyber crystal weapon. Use his skills to help in the over through of the Empire.
Background:
Artemis was identified early by his parents early as a force sensitive. As a toddler they brought him to the Jedi temple near their home world. He was lived and trained with the only Jedi in that remote temple until he was he was taken to Coruscant at age 8. However his teacher was very restrictive in his training and only taught him the more practical sides of the Force, particularly as a Guardian and Sentinel Artisan, along with the requisite melee and combat training. This restricted exposure encouraged Artemis’s ‘difficult’ personality, leaving him to focus on materials and equipment over people, and neglecting many aspects of the force which left him with an un-even training as a Jedi. There was an attempt at correcting this at the main temple on Coruscant, but he was never able to fully embrace and obtain the full range of jedi skills. However he was skilled in several areas of Jedi practice, and he accepted his role as more of a support person than as a full Jedi Knight. This also led to him becoming a padawan much later than most, and this was only due to the attrition of Jedi knights during the clone wars. (or: due to the relative scarcity of Jedi Knights)
While an excellent tactician and lightsaber user, his approach was often unable to handle the complexities and grey areas of reality, difficulty with grasping the standard ways of harnessing the Force, struggled with complex philosophical ideas and progressed slowly. When the time for his Jedi trials he failed spectacularly, twice. His failings were in the tests of insight and spirit, where as he was over-qualified in his test of strength, flesh and skill, often expelling at having his courage pushed to extremes.
Soon it became clear his path was not in the direction of becoming a Jedi Knight; so instead he was trained as a Guardian in the Armorer and Soresu Defender role. He however focused most on the creation and augmentation of Jedi equipment, armor and weapons as his mental capacity is as high as his social intelligence was low.
He did training under several masters, but rarely left Coruscant. During the peak of the Clone Wars he was sent several times as a padawan into major battle fields, often performing as well as some of the more experienced Jedi knights in battle, but then returned to his prescribed role in the temple. He was at the temple and 16 years old when Order 66 happened.
He was deep in the temple working a complex mechanical problem when the alarm was sent. He and a few of the padawan learners, younglings, as well some support staff came fleeing to his position. He soon got a call from his current master who told him to flee the temple, and leave Coruscant if possible. Knowing it would not be safe to try to go off-world immediately, he and a small group of younglings and padawans accompanied by a small number of temple personnel descended into the depths of the under-city.
Over time the number of his companions started to dwindle. Perhaps it was his dark vision or his natural resilience, but soon he was alone in the under-city. He continued to survive for more than a year deep in Coruscant, developing a a Eventually he was able to arrange for clandestine transport off-world.
Since then he has spent time in many remote locations, typically low traffic, working in many roles; as ships engineer, gardener, weapons crafter, medical doctor and trauma surgeon, and part of a security support crew working in the corporate sector. Currently his is on Tatooine, and as the grip of the Empire grows tight, so does his desire to use his skills to reverse their oppression, heal the damage done to the many worlds the Empire spoils, and support any resistance.
Motivation
Motivation: Freedom: The absolute and autocratic rule of the Emperor is an offense to his core beliefs about governments and politics.
Weakness: Violence. His genetic propensity for harsh negotiations, as well as his training in the Jedi temple during the clone wars seems to make him find violence as an often used answer to his problems. Over the years he has worked hard to avoid this, to contain his wrath toward his foes, but at times takes his actions go too far.
Obligation: 10 total
5: Fame: Even though he didn't want to have the spotlight, he was made famous/infamous by a circumstances that forced him to defend the flippant and frivolous son of a major Corporate Sector executive against a sector Black Sun vigo, brutally maiming the vigo in the process. It was captured on holovid and while somewhat blurry, he was still able to be identified by the Black Sun. The son only make it worse by promoting the video among his peers. And since Rhax was employed by his father, a moment of 'fame' was the only reward he got. Even though that was 10 years ago he still works to avoid entanglements with Black Sun.
5: Favor: Later he was then saved from a Black Sun prison by the actions/funding of this same executives son, who now years later is a respectable member of society and business executive. Rhax knows from the culture of the Corporate Sector that they feel that he owes them for this.
