Chal'ykam

Background
Chal'ykan was born and raised amongst the mighty wroshyr trees of Kashyyk. He grew up strong, with a steady hand and quick wits. He passed his trials, like all other Wookiees, and began to live the simple life of a hunter. For the most of his life, things were peaceful. The hunts were bountiful, and he lived with relative ease. However, that all changed one fateful day. A band of Trandoshan slavers attacked his village, enslaving the strong and culling the weak. In an effort to protect the children of the village, Chal'ykan attacked the Trandoshans, hoping to drive them away. This only resulted in a quick capture, much to the delight of the Trandoshan slavers. They forced him to watch his home, and his family, burn in the trees.

Due to his size and relative strength, Chal'ykan was quickly sold to the owner of a fighting pit, where he was expected to die in combat with a ferocious beast. Chal'ykan's will was strong, however, and his burning wish for revenge drove him to extreme acts of strength. He managed to survive until he was one day liberated by a band of freedom-fighters. Left with his freedom but nowhere to go, Chal'ykan has set to wandering the galaxy, hoping to one day take revenge for his home.
