Rhanwawo was born under the Kashyyyk moonlight roughly 292 years ago. The pup was smaller than most at that age, he would however, quickly outgrow it. Reaching adult size, and a fairly large size at that, by 11 and undergoing his rite of passage by 12. As custom to his tribe, he would enter the shadowlands with nothing but his claws and could not return until he awakened rrakktorr, his inner strength. Rhanwawo spent two weeks on the harsh forest floor, using everything his kin taught him. Surviving on anything he could find or make. He hunted many creatures and stopped countless predators, but the young wookies inner strength remained to be sealed. A battle with an alpha katarn would have been his demise. With no food and broken weapons, Rhanwawo was against all odds. It was there the wookies inner strength gave him the edge he needed and vanquished his foe with his own paws. His trophy: the largest tooth the katarn had as his new knife's blade and enough food to make it home. He left the village a mere cub, but returned man. Returned a hunter.
The rest of Rhanwawo's first century would be working alongside his father Rrowawo, one of their tribes best hunters. A dark brown wookie of enormous size, standing 3 meters, watched over and guided Rhanwawo as customs dictated. Rhanwawo honed his hunting and survival skills alongside his father. They frequently took hunting expeditions into the Shadowlands, retrieving food for the village and pelts for traders. Rhanwawo loved listening to his father's stories, often about ancient wookie kingdoms and powerful wookie hunters. Whether these stories were old wookie mythology or delusions of a fleeting old man, Rhanwawo did not know, but enjoyed them nonetheless.
Early into his second century, Rhanwawo's hunts gained him fame and honor throughout his tribe, allowing him to lead his own hunting parties. Which he often did more and more as his father got older. While he performed well with hunting partners, he rather preferred being alone. His weapon of choice, an A10 Long-Blaster rifle he modified for Wookie physiology and to resemble a bowcaster in design, catered to his introverted personality. A true testament to his gunsmithing. Some would call it art, if wookies had a word for art. He also preferred to eliminate predators from a distance, because what he had in size, he lacked in mobility. He spent a lot of his free time with his father and mother, a beautiful black maned wookie named Wyrhana. Around a century and a half of life, Rrowawo passed away of old age. While the loss hurt Rhanwawo, his father was much older than that of the other wookie father's. It was expected to happen, but still the village mourned his loss and celebrated him as a hunter and father. Rhanwawo took up the role as lead hunter, and handled the trade dealings like his dad did. Although interactions with non-wookie traders made him uncomfortable, as long as he did what his father did, he would be fine. Toward the end of Rhanwawo's second century, he found himself a mate and birthed two cubs. Training them, and sharing the same stories his father told him.
At 200 years of age, the prime of a wookies life, Rhanwawo had it all. A beautiful mate, two healthy cubs nearly at the coming of age for their rite of passage. The lead hunter for the tribe and all the respect and honor that comes with it. He would wake up, hunt his heart away, eat 6,000 calories a day with his kin, and sleep soundly, dreaming dreams of ancient wookie kingdoms and powerful wookie hunters. Although when one dreams, one opens the mind to nightmares, and like dreams, they too can become reality. Rhanwawo was on a hunt deep in the Shadowlands. By himself, the wookie travelled 3 days to his father's favorite hunting spot. A trip to clear his mind and prepare himself for his son's rites. Upon returning to his village, Rhanwawo was struck with the horror of a nightmares reality. His entire village burned, ransacked and destroyed. Ash covered the village with no sign of a remaining ember. Wookies of all ages slaughtered around the village. The bodies of his mate, cubs, and mother forever burned their image into the wookie's eyes. The atrocities that had befallen his village sparked a unyielding rage inside Rhanwawo. A rage that scared any creature in his vicinity, but also attracted 2 trandoshan salvagers. Blinded by his rage, Rhanwawo killed the trandoshans though his anger would not be satisfied. Searching the village Rhanwawo located a lone 35-series freighter, with a klt Astro Droid and 67-x storm loud, the trandoshans were using. Inside he also found wookie pelts. Pelts that looked familiar. Rhanwawo then vowed to kill as many trandoshans as he can. To avenge his village and satisfy his wookie rage.
Trandoshans are the wookie's ancient rivals. They have fought each other for thousands of years. A brutal conflict that would affect both species cultures. The wookie's of Rhanwawo's village had a deep hatred for trandoshans. Passing down generations of hatred and racism towards the trandoshans. Rhanwawo had the teachings of his village in him, and the actions of the trandoshans surfaced a vendetta. Using his newly acquired ship he planned to hunt nothing but trandoshans. Although his knowledge on starships and droids were nonexistent, his commitment to his crusade would prevent failure. Although it took him a year to figure out how to turn it on, and another year to get the astromech Droid to unlock the ships landing gears, he slowly understood his vehicles and droid, and developed the skills to use and maintain both sets of equipment. Within five years he was proficient enough with his starcraft to begin his hunt.
Rhanwawo spent the rest of his years, nearly a century, hunting trandoshan patrols and hunting parties. Using his survival skills to survive Trandosha, and using his hunting skills on much more dangerous game. He would attack at night, from a distance, or sneak in their camps at night. Unlike the slaughter he witnessed at his village, Rhanwawo would only kill one trandoshan a night. One night, every night, for nearly 100 years, Rhanwawo hunted one unlucky trandoshan. His jet back fur blending in with the night, leaving without a trace. Only choosing targets he could reasonably take and eliminate without detection. For years and years, he hunted the trandoshans, leaving no trace, not even a hair, in a quest to satisfy his anger. A quest that would, for nearly a century, remain incomplete. Perhaps no amount of trandoshan blood would replace the loss of his village. Perhaps Rhanwawo would remain lost in the darkness of his rage forever. But within every darkness, shines a beacon. A beacon of inner strength. Inner strength inspired by stories of wookie kingdoms and powerful hunters.

Rhanwawo is a proud wookie. He respects strength and the hunt. He is very stubborn, even for Wookie standards. Sometimes this stubbornness can make him dense or even dull. Combine that with his anger, something that has been amplified by recent events, makes him very hard headed. His social skills were never strong to begin with, and years of solitary has crippled any social skills he had.
Rhanwawo has an extreme hatred for tandoshans and holds them with extreme prejudice. This anger often clouds his judgement when in the presence of his sworn enemies. While intelligent, like most wookies, Rhanwawo doesn't pick things up relatively quickly, rather practice makes perfect, and if his life depends on it, it will be perfect.
He is a big wookie making him strong and hardy. Not as agile or nimble due to his size. Melee and Hand-to-hand are not as defined as his markmanship, but I still wouldn't arm wrestle a wookie. Can eat 6,000 calories a day. Intelligent and Wise for Wookie standards. Trauma has hindered what little social skills he had.
Rhanwawo has a very good understanding with mechanical engineering. When it comes to droids, vehicles, ships, he has enough knowledge to maintain them. His programming is only in basic functions and not much else. His gunsmithing is where his Mechanics truly shines. Maintaining and upgrading his rifle his whole life is a result of that.
He is an excellent hunter and tracker with marksmanship skills. Espionage into trandoshan camps have kept him on his toes. Proficient in all wookie dialects. His time trading has made him understand basic and huttese. Due to time hunting and stalking trandoshans, he can understand most dialects of Dosh.
