Background: Nulyn left the Acendensy when he was 20. He saw that his path lied beyond the Acendensy and with whatever mysteries were out in the greater galaxy. A journey of self discovery and to seek out knowledge for his people. His travels turned out a lot different then he expected though. In the outer rim not every planet is civilized nor hospitable and this saw a young Nulyn learn that the universe is quite a harsh mistress. Nulyn started to learn quickly though picking up survival skills from fellow travelers and through trial and harsh errors. He also picked up a blaster for the first time and started to defend and care for himself through hunting. Something just clicked for him when it came to hunting. He was good at it and its natural thrill was addicting. 15 years later Nuyln stalks the outer rim hunting some of the most dangerous game in the galaxy. To fund his travels and hunts he takes on odd jobs but he seems to have found steady income with a crew that appreciates his skill set.
