Profile: Twi'lek have a reputation as being sneaky shady slimy bastards: quick to weasel, quick to hide, quick to frighten. Tu'ebb is not your average Twi'lek. Tu'ebb will kick your ass.
Tu'ebb was the son of a head-clan member of Kala'uun on Ryloth. When his father was murdered, Tu'ebb was sold into slavery, where he eventually met Torill. The pair barely escaped the clutches of Torill's unscrupulous captain, and struck out on their own, with Tu'ebb's mind going to the upkeep of their ship. Yet the experience left Tu'ebb scarred: he is quiet and sullen, and mostly acts like a wound-up spring to any irritation that flies his way.
Tu'ebb's time as tech has given him not inconsiderable mechanical skills, especially when it comes to jury-rigging ships together from two hydrospanners, five inches of duct tape, a packet of Polar Ice gum and a Beanie Baby. He has applied this skill in the creation of such "interesting modifications" as the SOB (sublight overdrive booster).
Despite this, Tu'ebb is not primarily
a tech. As soon as he and Torill became independent of the need
for constant smuggling runs to supplement their income, Tu'ebb
began studying ways to channel his smouldering rage over just
about anything into useful energy: martial arts. His lithe Twi'lek
form suited well to the art, and now he turns into a whirlwind
of flying fists and boots at any foe unwise enough to get in his
way. He says that whenever he hits an opponent, he channels all
of his frustration and anger into the blow. Perhaps that explains
the numerous broken bodies that lie along his path.
In personal relations, Tu'ebb prefers to stay in the background and let Torill do the talking. When approached, he tends to be chilly and uncomfortable. If Torill slips, however, or becomes somehow "occupied," he can smoothly take up where his companion left off... most often more coherently and to-the-point than Torill was. He tends to be more logical and perceptive than Torill, picking up things that sail right over the head of the other smuggler. Better, he knows how and when to take initiative on these hints.
In combat, Tu'ebb is deadly. Besides his afore-mentioned hand-to-hand combat skills, he is as good a shot as any member of the Rameseum Crew, and often a safer one, as he knows how to retreat without making it a rout... or when to retreat in the first place. He fights guerilla-style when possible, but this is just to give each individual enemy a fair chance. After all, a crowd of stormtroopers getting into close combat with this Twi'lek just means that there's a better chance of each strike connecting.
Tu'ebb's skills mean he tends to end up working with Ramses, who he treats with a kind of tired resignation to the droid's "unique personality." The two are on speaking terms, but mostly they end up bickering as only a pissed-off martial artist Twi'lek and an insane killer assasin droid can. He is most often seen with a blue tunic, black steel-toed boots, and his signature mirrored shades. One of his headtails was lost in combat (though there is still a ragged stump), and his other headtail is stunted in comparison to most Twi'leki. Just don't mention it to his face, though.
