Like many of his relatively violent, war like brethren, Xrosh, upon reaching maturity, would be swept into a life of intrigue. Bloody clan wars, animal hunting, and the various rural activities so common to the harsh climates of Trandosha would all become second nature to him. He never learned anything else during these early years of his life, sticking to a simple, rural life far from the main settlements on Trandosha. Immediately signaled out as having above average intelligence, Xrosh was known to think outside the box, often coming up with improvised tools and various schemes to make his daily routine easier. Xrosh’s slightly different approach to Trandoshan life was not well received. Trandoshans as a whole can be fickle, cynical, and completely unwilling to tolerate what they are not used to. His parents were no different and began to shun him from a very young age, often treating him poorly and leaving him out on his own. Xrosh found solace in the bizarre Trandoshan religion, spending his lonely nights away from his family and worshipping his deity, the Scorekeeper. He soon became completely consumed with his beliefs and began coming up with outrageous schemes to increase his ‘score’ by earning what was referred to in his society as Jagganath points. These would be obtained by fulfilling a ‘hunt’ in which the victim was ultimately killed. Unfortunately, Xrosh began to take the word ‘hunt’ quite lightly and his intentions eventually became murderous. His life would change forever one bizarre day under the hot red sun of his homeworld. Xrosh unleashed a diabolical plan to kill his entire family which has shunned him from day one, and satisfy his deity in the process. After a snarky comment from his father, the Trandoshan would retrieve a vibroblade and barge into his family dwelling, slaughtering his father, his mother, and two of his brothers. His one other brother was not home at the time. To add insult to injury, Xrosh proceeded to eat the next batch of his mother’s hatchlings before they were born. Surely, this, in his eyes, would grant him much favor with the Scorekeeper. His plan did not really work as well as he thought it would. Xrosh soon found himself exiled from his community for his deeds (Which were not particularly gruesome by Trandoshan standards, but still unacceptable) and was cast out into the harsh terrain of unsettled Trandosha. There, he would live as a loner and drifter for several months, honing his survival, hunting, and outdoorsman skills. Xrosh, while violent and religiously zealous, was still intelligent and longed for something more than a solitary desert existence. He had heard tales of the most glorious of his species earning a reputation in space and on other worlds, where they could exploit their race and natural born talents to gain an edge over humans and other aliens that frequented the galaxy.
