Biography: The planet Umbara rests in perpetual twilight so Eym’s species have developed expert night vision to navigate their homeworld. The Umbaran’s innate ability to see in ultraviolet and subtly read thoughts of others make Eym a formidable bounty hunter in stealth and reconnaissance. That was why she left the Umbaran militia after the Battle of Umbara to pursue a new purpose as a mercenary.
Eym began in the clone wars, inspired by the famous bounty hunters Jango Fett, Zam Wessel and the Weequay Pirates. Although she never ranked very high in bounty tallies, compared to her heroes, and believed she may never make a name for herself. However, in a fortunate twist of fate, the contest held by Moralo Eval eliminated the sizeable majority of her competition and she quickly soared through the ranks.
Alliance:
Eym was hired by an anonymous party to assassinate an underworld crime boss, she had the stealth to carry out a swift and secretive execution but not the brawn the fend off the crime lord’s guards. Ress was under orders from the Hutt Cartel to eliminate a rival, he had surveyed the hired guard and surmised he could take them out in a fight, he just needed to get into the facility unnoticed - something which proved to be difficult for the 7 foot Lasat. Ress hadn’t noticed the ghost-like Umbaran approach him in the night, they threatened and fought and deliberated until eventually they agreed to carry out the assassination together and split the bounty. Ress was persuaded to leave the Hutts and join Eym as a bounty hunter.
They travelled together until the collapse of the Galactic Republic, Eym’s last bounty was a rescue and retrieval mission from an anonymous source. On a distant planet in the outer rim, a Jedi youngling had been smuggled out of Coruscant, escaping Order 66. Eym was hired to find them and bring them to other Jedi survivors. She was not usually trusting of the Jedi after the exploits of Master Pong Krell on Umbara but she would save a child.
However, when she brought the youngling to the waiting contact, it wasn’t the do-gooder rebel or Jedi master she had expected. What waited for her was an Imperial Admiral - her anonymous hire, an Inquisitor and a squad of Storm Troopers.
Eym and the youngling fought well but were ultimately slaughtered.
Daressen grew to loathe the empire with a burning rage; first they ravaged and decimated his home world. His people. Then they slaughtered his beloved partner.
Unhinged, Ress sought out violent revenge. He landed in the company of Saw Gerrera, a man Eym had spoken of from the Clone Wars, and his Partisans on the planet Onderon.
It wasn’t long before the Empire spread its rancid clutches over Onderon too, they soon sent Units to the street to spread peace. He had seen their peace and wanted no part of it. That was why, when he ran into a unit himself, he couldn’t possibly let them escape alive. The air grew thick with the scent of blaster-burnt flesh as the Imperial scum fell to his shots. He finished the injured off with a swift slash of his blade. When he came upon the last man he was ready to kill...
Then he saw the man’s weapon, a bo-rifle: the weapon of the Lasat Honour Guard.
He couldn’t kill the man, couldn’t take his weapon as prize in place of his own lost bo-rifle. He hadn't beaten him in fair combat, it wasn't the Lasat way. Ress always wondered what happened to the Imperial he let escape...
Commentary:
This post is for Poe-Tato Dameron's bounty hunter contest.
I kinda went all out for this one, there's more references to canon than I can point out and a bunch of secrets to find. Please comment if you find them and tell me what you think!
