History: Tibbs was born on Corellia under the birth name of Rex Flynn. His mother was a First Order Tie Fighter Pilot & his father was an Admiral that fought in the Battle of Jakku. At a very young age, Rex’s father was killed in the battle of Jakku. After which he begged his mother to be drafted into the First Order which she complied.
He was trained by the First Order until he was 17 years old and was proficient at long ranged weapons, so they issued him as a sniper. He was put into a squad and given his first deployment. Shortly before he was deployed they told him that Rex was no longer his name, but was given the identification number 344-123-888. It was Rex’s dream to fight in the Empire, as he felt he owed it to his father who gave his life for the First Order, so from that day he never said or thought about his birth name again.
Rex’s first deployment was on Tanaab at a mining facility as a First Class Sergeant meant to guard the facility from Resistance forces. He gained much prestige from his officers whenever Resistance troopers attacked; in his 4 year deployment on Tanaab only one Resistance strike team breached the facility, but were quickly put down. The other dozen instances the strike teams couldn’t get past the front line due to his immaculate sniping.
After that he was put on a special patrol team to tour the galaxy. Their mission was to visit five different planets that have evidence of a past Resistance/Rebel presence. The five planets were: Yavin IV, Hoth, Ryloth, Corellia & Tatooine. Toward the end of his deployment, an unfortunate event took a turn for the worst. While looking into a sketchy piece of intel his squad was ambushed by a Resistance strike team that knew the patrol would end up here. Everyone in his squad was killed but him, and he survived alone in the Dune Sea & into the Jundland wastes for 2 weeks until a First Order patrol found him.
After recovering from his injuries he was promoted for his valour to First Officer but then was quickly reassigned at the request of a Sith within the First Order named Zed Daphyr. He was given the rank of First Officer in his squad and serves now as a sniper. His mission begins on Kashyyk…
Personality: Tibbs is a very serious individual and is very goal driven. He is loyal to a fault to the First Order and will kill on command. Robotic in his tone, he still manages to squeeze out some humour in the most dire of situations, but regardless never loses focus on the mission at hand. His thick Imperial accent is a testament to his lineage as his ancestors served in the Galactic Empire under Darth Vader.
Tibbs is very secretive and does not like to share events of his past, especially the one of Tatooine and the ambush. Though he hides it well externally, he has nightmares about that day every night, or whenever he can fall asleep without thinking about it. He lied on his psychological exam in order to remain in the First Order; saying that he had almost no memory of the fateful day on Tatooine. The one person he has ever opened up to about it was a good friend of his that was killed in a space skirmish in the Core Worlds.
