Character Description
Taro doesn't know what formal wear is. He generally sports a shaggy, longish haircut, tending to stay either brown or black headed, or blonde. He prefers to wear comfortable things: wife beaters, t-shirts, jeans, exercise pants, exercise shorts, exercise capris, tennis shoes, bare feet, etc.
His skin tone is the characteristic Asian olive tone. His birthmark is located under his knee-cap, an odd U shaped dark bit of skin. He sports few blemishes, except for some freckles and moles. He has a tattoo on his back, an outline of angel wings--he got it shortly after he turned sixteen.
Post-Reset
Taro Lawson, the second boy born to a mentally unstable mother and a lieutenant in a Naboo army, he grew up caring for his younger brother Jiro, who was the the reciever of his father's drunken rages and depression driven beatings.
At fifteen, Taro ran away from home with his little brother in tow, and took up with a young man, Gregory Andler, who taught he and his brother the "art" of pickpocketing, which Taro took up with great fervor. Taro and Jiro grew even closer during this time. Rarely apart, they performed most of their steals together, Jiro being the ditraction, and Taro doing the stealing.
At sixteen, Jiro was caught during a job by a wealthy businessman who immediately demanded his imprisonment. Gregory was nowhere to be found, and Taro and Jiro never heard from, or of him, again. Carrying a lot of weight, the businessman easily had him imprisoned. Taro, unsure of how to bail his brother out, took up jobs that had more money to offer.
It was at this time that Taro fell into drugs. Small and slight, he was easily undetectable in a large crowd. He carried drugs between gangs, and officials, quickly became a first class drug runner. He dabbled in drug usage, and was soon hooked on many kinds.
His dealings with drugs, lead him to an exotic dance club in the HWANG District of Coruscant--Raoul's Exotic Dance Club and Bar--where he was taking a shipment of drugs. He was immediately mistaken for one of the dancers, and solicited many times in the course of only walking through the club. He was hired on the spot.
As a stipper he was a hit, and as a street walker, he was even more sought after. Taro was one of the most expensive prostitutes in the HWANG District, and serviced many men and women, although he was much more popular among the men.
Taro became too far into the drug and prostitution business to get out easily. When he turned eighteen, and had saved enough money, he wanted to leave and get his brother out of jail. However, he almost had to put up a fight to do so. Eventually, he was able to quit at Raoul's and return to spring his brother from jail where they moved into an apartment in the NIHONGO District together, where Jiro continued to pickpocket and Taro continued to use the money to feed his habit.
Nineteen came and went, his behavior erratic and frightening. During this this time he murdered two men--in a state of "ultimate high"--and was constantly putting his brother under mental stress.
