About Jax "Boots" Wolfwood

Background: At the time of the Veskarium Empire's incursion upon Pulonis, currently known as Vesk-6,a Pahtra female named Allyssa Wolfwood and her son Jax had boarded a ship bound else where than here. Escape from the Veskarium fleet was top priority and any destination could not be any worse. Even having escaped the clutches of the Veskarium Empire, their journey to a better tomorrow lead them to be eventually picked off by pirating ships from the Diaspora. With the crew and passengers captured and their ship discarded, they were now bound for Broken Rock, known as the Pirate Stronghold of our Solar system.

Once having arrived to Broken Rock, it wasn't long before the captured crew and passengers were tagged and brought to the slave market. It was here Allyssa was separated from Jax for the buyer had no interests in a young child who would be more burden than benefit. So, from a young age of only 5 years, little Jax was torn from his mothers warming arms and thrown into the streets of Besmara's Smile for not having caught a good price at the slave trades. Not long after however, an elderly man took Jax in providing him with a place to call home or at least at face value.

The next decade would be a hard one for Jax. His adoptive father was no saint and so would send Jax to do his dirty work. From stealing to bribing to forcing others to get what he needed to survive, these were many of the tasks his father had him do. There would be days he'd starve and others he'd be beaten to a pulp but he continued to live on. Back on Pulonis, by their 15th year, young Pahtra are thrown into the jungles to prove their worth and survive the treacherous wilderness for weeks on end, battling not only many predatory creatures but also themselves. Here on Broken Rock however, Jax was thrown into a similar life at only the age of 5 and not for just a few weeks. As Jax aged, he would compare himself to those who would undergo those trials and laugh for even thinking any one of them could best himself by that age. "They would all be dead within the hour and I would rise to the top of that heap of failures!"

By his 17th year, Jax has been living the same life only now on his own after leaving the old man some time around his 13th or 14th year. He has now become a handsome young man with a very distinguishable feature. A pair of very fancy boots. He has made a bit of a name for himself amongst some of the locals. A friend to some and an enemy to others. One day at the docks, Jax was on another journey to see what treasures he could pry from these dumb pirates. He would set up a spot where he could perform his "trade", perch himself atop a barrel and begin to play a song. Any who were drawn in by his performance would either tip him or pay to hear a specific song of a tale. One such pirate by the name of Captain Jivago Sunderland, also known as "Large" by his crew, took interest in Jax as soon as he heard the soothing melody flowing from the strings of his instrument. He asked for a song of one of his tales. Jax asked for Jivago's triumphant moments and he would begin a tune. While reciting the song, he made his way around the crew and captain, singing and dancing around till he vanished without a trace. He had snagged several credit sticks with many credits within, though his luck was not so well earned as he had hoped for not long after his prize, he was found and knocked out for his thievery.

Not long later, he awoke to the presence of Captain Jivago, standing right before him. After a moment of sizing him up, Jivago said to Jax, "I'm going to call you Boots." He explained he was so astonished by Jax's performance he did not even notice he was being robbed. So, not to pass up the opportunity he took Jax under his wing and now became part of the Free Captains. for the next 15 years Jax "Boots" would learn his place amongsth the Free Captains. Diplomacy, Bribery, Interrogation, Commanding and Deceit, these were all the things he would become great at and define him as the man he is today, an Envoy of the Pirate Counsel. Through his journeys, most along side Captain "Large", his time with the Free Captains has lead him to this moment. The Pirate Counsel wants eyes and ears in the Starfinder Society and as a member of the Acquisitives he'd make a wonderful name for himself. Jax has been personally asked by the counsel to undertake this position, for they would not ask anyone else. "Now go to Absalom Station and await further contact. Our hopes now rest with you Captain Jax Wolfwood." Graciously accepting the offer Jax bows to the counsel, "I prefer Boots."
