BIOGRAPHY
Many people assume, upon seeing the diminutive, and in many ways, adorable, Narpoo, that his life has been one of bumbling, happy gaiety and joy. Perhaps he was plucked from his primitive way of life by a generous traveller, becoming that witty sidekick we read about in the holo-books, every a quip to hand, the pluck and character of jester, a cute ball of love and fluff ready to entertain.
Those assumptions could not be further from the truth, however some solace could be found if one looked deep enough into the Ewoks history. Born to a loving family in the Stout Pine Village, one of the many Ewok settlements that dot the canopy of the forest moon, Narpoo was the first born runt of the Tribal Shaman Lampoo and his mate, Cheepa. For much of his formative years, he would wander into the woods with his father, learning how to track prey, how to weave the roof of a hut, so that on day he could start a family of his own.
Soon, a sister was born to his parents, Nalpa, and as was tradition, the young Narpoo was expected to take up his spear and bow, and head to the forest floor to start a life of his own. An adept hunter, Narpoo had little issue in attracting a mate, and built himself a hut in the canopy for his new mate, Narpa - and soon they would be wed, and a festival before the village - a young litter following soon after.
For a time, life was kind to Narpoo, but then - the slavers came.
Dropping from the heavens in great metallic birds, that spat flame and belched death, Narpoo was out hunting for big game at the time of their arrival, and rushed back to the village. Alas, it was all to little, all to late, for Narpoo arrived to see his village swimming with scaled monsters from far off worlds, his father - as was his role as a shaman - attempting to ward the demons away with a ritual dance, standing before Narpoos wife and littler, mother and sister, only to be cruelly cut down by one of the demon creatures.
The young ewok watched, powerless to intervene, as his family and tribe found themselves as the main course in festival of cruel gluttony that went on for hours. Waiting for the lizard creatures to leave, Narpoo went to his families remains, and buried what was left of them - taking the bones from his father's shamanic staff and placing them onto his belt and headpiece - continuing his family's legacy in doing so.
Vowing revenge, as the last member of his Tribe, Village and Family, Narpoo tracked down the Hunters - who gradually broke off into various camps across the moons northern hemisphere to track down larger and more profitable ‘prey’. Tracking them, learning their sleeping patterns and movements, methods of combat and communication, even down to what they chose to eat and wear, Narpoo formed a plan to exact his revenge.
The first camp, he took at night, drugging their drink, and burning their paralyzed bodies whilst they slept. The second camp, he snuck in at night, slitting their throats whilst they rested. Other camps, he lead into the path of stampeding beasts, or left food supplies open to the attention of Endors more vicious predators. Eating what remained of them after each camp, he left nothing by way of tracable evidence - before stealing away on one of their reinforcement ships, to trace them back to their source.
The ship would take him to Nar Shaddaa, wherein, to a chorus of laughs, the Ewok signed up as a Bounty Hunter - offered next to nothing by way of payment, such was the lack of faith the contractors had in him. However, understanding that he needed more resources to track down the creature that had ordered the destruction of his village, he took on a series of jobs - shocking his employers with his effectiveness as he did so.
He turned down rewards in ‘Credits’ at first, taking ‘Blades’ as payment - seeing weapons as more useful than ‘plastic cards’. Soon however, as his arsenal grew, he began to learn the use of the ‘Credit’ and became a reasonably well respected Hunter in his own right. Understanding the need to build a reputation, he ensured that his kills would always bear the tribal mark of his people, carved into their foreheads and chests upon his ‘completion of the job’.
Remaining somewhat shamanistic, he became known for eating parts of his enemies when he had defeated them - this flair and character proving irresistible to the Hutts whom he worked for, and soon he was brought on as a retainer into the court of Miwa Hutt.
