Everyday was a fight for survival as I stole whatever food or money I could to get by in the slums of Tatooine. Things were going well until my tenth birthday when I tried to pickpocket a rich businessman. I was seen by one of his bodyguards who proceeded to chase me deep into the slums. Backed into a corner with nowhere to go I decided that my best course of action was to fight back. "There's no way I can win this," I thought to myself as I charged at the man that would surely overpower me, but to me it was better to fight then to just give in. The guard pushed me over and climbed on top of me pulling out a knife. "This is where it ends," I thought as I struggled in vain to push the guard off of me. As he prepared to thrust the knife into my chest there was the shrill screech of a blaster shot and the guards lifeless body slumped onto me.  It was a moment before I was able to comprehend what had just happened and muster the strength to push the mans body off of me. As I sat up I saw another man appear from the shadows clad in steel with a blaster in his right hand. "Come with me," he said as he turned to walk away and with some hesitation I picked up the guard's knife and followed him through the abandoned streets and out of the city. It felt like hours that we had been walking before he finally stopped and turned to me, "I have been watching you for some time now and have decided that you are worthy to become my successor." With a confused look I asked, "Who are you and what do you mean that I am worthy to be your successor?" "My name is not important," he said as he sat down, "all that matters is that I am a hunter and from her on you shall be trained to take that mantle."  For the next ten years I was trained in several forms of combat as well as taught the innerworkings of each firearm until I had mastered them all. On my twentieth birthday my master pulled me aside after training. "You are now ready to become a bounty hunter" he said as he placed his hand on my shoulder, "all that's left to do is for you to go back to your hometown and apply." As I looked at him the only words I could utter were "yes master" as I turned toward the city, dawned my helmet and armor, and began my journey. Only stopping once to look back and say "this is the way."                                                                                                                                         *Three Months Later* It's been three months since I became a bounty hunter. I've been going on back to back missions only to return to my master to receive a new piece to my armor. The last pieces that I need to get are my new helmet and chest piece. I walk into the guild where I'm greeted by the guild master, "Welcome Routen, what does my hardest working bounty hunter want today," he asked with a smile as he gestured for me to take a seat. As I take my seat I look at him, "What's the best paying jobs you have right now?" As I asked his smile faded and he pulled a tag out of his pocket setting it on the table, "this is both the highest paying and the most difficult I have, every other bounty hunter I've sent on this mission never returned, and we have intel that states he is currently hiding somewhere on this planet. "I'll take it," I say as I take the tracker and contract from him. I Turn to leave when the guild master grabs my arm, "there's more that you're not going to like. We have reason to believe that your master was captured by the target and we're not sure of his current condition." After this new information I rushed out of the building, jumped on my speeder, and sped out the city toward my masters place. As I got closer to his place I could see smoke in his direction. I checked the tracker realizing my target was getting closer so I stopped the speeder at the base of a ridge and snuck up to get a better look at the situation. I pulled out my sniper rifle to get a better look at the situation. The first thing i noticed was a group of hunters in a firefight with my target and they were losing. The next thing i noticed was my master leaning against his forge holding his side and blood on the ground around him. I decided to let the target finish off the other hunters before Killing him myself so I prepared to take the shot. As the target killed the final hunter put a round through the side of his head dropping him instantly. I got back on the speeder and rushed to my master. I stopped the speeder and as I ran up to him I could see that he was smiling. "You have done well and returned just in time," my master said to me as he pointed over to his table, " I have finished the rest of your new armor." I grabbed his hand, "I don't care about that right now, you're bleeding wont stop. I'll have to remove your armor to treat you," I said as I reached to unclip his helmet. He grabbed my hand to stop me. "Under no circumstances should you ever remove your helmet in front of another, and never allow someone to remove your helmet for you," he said in a stern tone, "it's my time and after seeing how you've grown up I have no regrets anymore. I'm ready to go. I only ask that you be the one to end it." "As you wish," I said as I pulled my knife out and plunged it into his chest. As he took his lasts breaths he looked at me and simply said "this is the way." After I gave my master a proper burial I walked over to the table and put on the new pieces of armor. I looked back at his grave, then walked over to my target in order to get proof of my kill. As I got back onto my speeder I turned to head back to town but stopped just long enough to look back and say "this is the way" one last time to my master before heading off into the night.
