Tuuntaki is one meter in height and weighs roughly around 29.6 Kilograms, His face is shrunken and he boldly resembles a Human-Shaped Rodent, With glowing yellow eyes brown fur and a humanoid head. His posture is rather petite, With no real muscle or fat.. While not over-fed Tuuntaki is not malnourished and is in good health for a Desert-Dwelling Jawa.
These features, Of course. Are completely covered by his Traditional and Iconic Brown hooded robes, And cloth Face-cover/mask which, intended to protect not only his face from the desert, but shield his sensitive eyes from the bright Tatooine sun, This gives him a Mysterious aspect.. Making it almost appear as if his face is completely shrouded in darkness besides his two Bright yellow eyes peering from the shroud, Which are in turn are covered with low-value and common gems to protect his Nocturnal Eyes which evolved to see in the dark.
Tuuntaki also emits a rather strong Odor, repulsive to most species. As part of his Jawa Biology it distinguishes his Health, Clan, Arousal, Maturity and sometimes even Mood. Though to other species its mostly just a Disgusting odor.

Tuuntaki is everything you'd expect from a Jawa, He is a shrewd merchant and a skilled scavenger, His behavior is quite iconic and sometimes quite amusing, Even when he is mad about something. His use of hand gestures and frequent body movement including Nodding, Jumping and Waving can be considered some sort of Comical Relief. Tuuntaki is quite Curious, Clumsy, and enjoys jokes, Though he is quite greedy he will share with his Clan as they work cooperatively with each other and the Clan Chief. Tuuntaki though often leaves the Sandcrawler to visit cities across Tatooine in search of Personal wealth.
When asked, Tuuntaki will say he hates the Hutts the most. As they are 'lazy, fat and think they own everything' His opinion seems Hypocritical as he will Frequently do business with the Hutts, Tuuntaki enjoys Womp rat quite a bit, Saying the flavor is 'yummy' and the texture perfect, Others would disagree, He finds Alcohol amusing and drinks occasionally but rather hates the Flavor it inherently has.

Bio:
Ages 0-1
Born to a unmarked and for the most part unnamed Jawa Fortress, Tuuntaki was raised by mostly by his Mother, Though not born to a specific Clan Tuuntaki would become a member of his Mothers clan, the Racocar'ao Clan which traversed across the deserts in a large Sandcrawler and returned to the Fortress mostly to visit family and deal in their scavenged goods with other Clans and sandcrawlers, Though Tuuntaki was only one, He embraced the idea of scavenging as much as he could possibly comprehend.
Ages 2-3
Tuuntaki was always eager for the Sandcrawlers to arrive, to see the spoils they returned and listen to the widely exaggerated or simply just made-up tales of the Jawa Clans that boasted and competed with each other playfully and peacefully, it was all just fun and games though. And they all came together to drink and eat and cheer at the fortress where Tuuntaki lived, He wanted to leave so badly but couldn't till he reached Maturity. When Tuuntaki was Three he fancied himself Matured, he would pull things off from scrap or even items that belonged to someone else and built a collection of parts and metal joints or pieces, He buried each piece in a spot behind the communal house and only told his mother.
Ages 4-5
For a time, It seemed Tuuntaki was the only Child in the Fortress but when a Sandcrawler came families departed carrying with them children around Tuuntaki's age, They were apart of a Jawa Clan that was scattered after their Sandcrawler was pushed over and crushed by a Imported and wild Rancor in a unsuspected attack the Rancor was apparently tracked down by its apparent owners and subdued, They were picked up by another Clan which dropped them off here where they would work on another Sandcrawler which was disabled and dragged back. Tuuntaki was excited to make friends, But only really managed to make one, U'thaneek, Who enjoyed Scavenging as much as him. When they turned Five, They dug up Tuuntaki's horde and started selling them for small cheap yet shiny and attractive objects, And sometimes for Credits if the Parts actually had some value or use, Tuuntaki made little, But he say this as a small fortune never having dealt with economy and money before, Tuuntaki and U'thaneek continued to break off parts from things then selling them for very little profit. It was a game, One they'd play all the time and enjoyed greatly.
Ages 6-7
U'thaneeks Sandcrawler had one year left before completion and Tuuntaki wanted to give him something as a farewell, He spent countless months working with other Jawas - Adults and his mother to take all his Shiny objects and bend them, Cut them, Into what'd be a Ornament Tuuntaki wanted U'thaneek to keep or sell, Under any Circumstances U'thaneek would've stayed. But they weren't refugees.. They were stranded, And had to return to their own Fortress. So, Tuuntaki hugged him goodbye, Gave him the ornament and wished him luck throughout his life before Tuuntaki returned to his own, Now Tuuntaki was the only Child his age in the Fortress, there were many Younger children which Tuuntaki liked to lead on little scavenging quests and fancied himself their leader but other than that, He found it hard to have real interaction with them and spent most of his time listening to Adults talk and even teach Tuuntaki new things that a Jawa could use, It was a easy system to Tuuntaki, His mother taught him what a Jawa WOULD NEED to know, And other Adults would teach Tuuntaki things he could use, Sort of like bonus skills that made him more experienced, One Jawa taught him how repair droids and even how to adapt low-quality and cheap parts into a Expensive Droid, Whilst keeping the Expensive parts for himself. So, The droids actual value was extremely lower than the selling price, But most buyers won't know and would be cheated into buying a crappy and low performance droid with a shiny exterior.
Ages 8-9
When Tuuntaki was Eight, He was given the chance to see the interior of a Sandcrawler, He along with other children were given a full tour... For two credits, The 'Tour Guide' Was a elderly Jawa named Un'tunomo which ended up teaching Tuuntaki Huttese when he was Nine, He said that the Hutts would always buy something from a Jawa, but they were the one people that would couldn't swindle. Tuuntaki disliked the Hutts hence-forth seeing as how they were criminals that thought they owned everything and killed people that didn't agree, Not businessmen at all! Yet Un'tunomo explained how well they paid, And that business was lucrative with a wealthy Hutt. Tuuntaki was evermore anxious now, Especially at Nine to go with a Clan in one of their sandcrawlers and traverse the Sands, Making profit and sharing stories he was envious and eager but still... To young.
Ages 10-11
Tuuntaki continued his little home-scavenging career, Though now older.. It wasn't cute anymore, It was annoying, He was becoming a bit of a thief and menace, He stopped to avoid scolding and instead scavenged small items that were dropped and forgotten or discarded, He found it easier to spend time with the other Children and played games with them like Hide-And-Seek, Tag or even board games on a very hot day, Though he mostly played Board games with the adults, He even participated in some drinking games.. Though he never actually drank alcohol as he found the taste disgusting, He found that though he wanted to go on a Sandcrawler, He wasn't so eager anymore. And by Eleven he learned the Value of patience which he later adopted into his business style. 'A Customer will return, Especially if you're the only one that has the product. ' Still, it'd been a long time since any Sandcrawlers had come. They were gone for the entire year, And Tuuntaki was beginning to wonder if they would ever return.
Ages 12-13
Yet they did, And they came more lucrative and baring more goods than ever, They spent the entire year salvaging a crashed Starship it was attacked by pirates and though it got away, Its engines failed and it crash landed in the desert. The tracked it, Then spent a entire year salvaging it, They brought back loads of exotic fruits and they invited everyone to a feast, They dined on off-world foods and gouged themselves over their success, The Fortress was wealthy now, For a time... But all Jawas spend money. Still, it was a happy occasion and the Sandcrawlers stayed a little longer than usual, Tuuntaki had hoped such fortune would happen again in his lifetime.
At Thirteen Tuuntaki found a Womp rat scrounging and killed it defensively as it started behaving aggressively. His mother suggested cooking it, So he did. The taste was so addictive to Tuuntaki, That Womp Rat would be his favorite food, And he would wonder around outside the Fortress looking for Womp Rats to kill and eat, Though he only managed to catch one Womp rat. And when Womp Rats started becoming more dangerous around the Fortress, Killing Banthas and attacking Jawas Tuuntaki was forced to stop, If a man like Rancor afterall, How much time and effort would he actually do to try and catch, Kill and eat such dangerous prey? Tuuntaki just simply didn't want to risk it anymore.
Ages 14-15
At Fourteen, Tuuntaki was taken in by a Clan to be taught how to properly scavenge anything, From Droids to starships, Tuuntaki listened attentively they'd also explain how a Sandcrawler worked, and even let him conduct some business matters, He couldn't go with them yet, Not even when he was Fifteen, But they had him as a At-Home merchant which would be supplied by their spoils and profiting from his sales, He kept quite a easy life yet with Sixteen around the corner, He couldn't wait to join with a Clan
Ages 16-17
Utinni!! Tuuntaki can now join with a Sandcrawler clan, He chose the Racocar'ao clan for obvious reasons, And they chose him in turn to work on the Sandcrawler, They were his mothers, They were family and friends, And close, So he was off and it was quite a exciting yet simple experience. The Sandcrawler was massive, He had been in ones before but to live in one? It was amazing, It had a musty smell of Rusting Droids and Oil, He loved the smell and worked with his fellow Jawas across the Dunes, Through the Wastes and straight on through to Mos Eisley where they sold everything they Salvaged, From Speeders, Droids, And even Ship parts. Tuuntaki got a cut, But it was little, But understandable seeing as how the Sandcrawler was filled with Jawas, They all got cuts, So it was thin but it became common practice as Tuuntaki noticed, and Adopted, for Jawas to leave the Sandcrawler to do personal business. At Seventeen Tuuntaki took to making pieces of Jewelry wrought from junk and selling them for minimal profit, as a sort of side-business.
Ages 18-19
At Eighteen his Side-Business grew more Lucrative, He started dealing droids and ship parts for quite a bit of profit, Things he earned, Found or stole personally and then sold were things he didn't need to share among the others, but he still gave a bit of his profits to those that needed it, Mostly new members of the Sandcrawler, He dealt a lot with the Hutts and spent his time at a Cantina for a little Rest, Food and drink. By the time he was Nineteen, He was indistinguishable from other Jawas to other races, and was simply another Swindler that no one ever trusts, He found the names people called him amusing, and found his Species reputation pleasing, Tuuntaki... Scavenger and Thief, All he ever lived up for.
Ages 20
Now Twenty, Tuuntaki can carry on his merry life of Scavenging and trading, He currently moves across Tatooines largest cities, Looking for buyers and sellers, Taking a little Vacation from the sandcrawler,
RP Sample:
Tuuntaki looked up at the man, Nodding saying the same thing over and over "Utto nye usabia atoonyoba?" The man followed the Jawa cautiously to the droid. Tuuntaki stopped at a Monster Droid turning around to face the Man before speaking in the Jawa Trade Language "You want droid? Very cheap, Very good, Clean house or ship!" Tuuntaki waited anxiously for the mans reply, "How Much?" The man said, Tuuntaki turned and patted the droid nodding in reassurance "120 credits, Works very good, Do anything, It'll clean, It'll sing, It'll serve and cook food, Very good price, Others charge double what me is offering." The man examined the droid carefully, It didn't have a cheap interior like the other two he sold, Rather, it had a recycled one. The man was very thorough, He was a human somehow involved in politics, He jutted his bottom lip and shaked his head, This made Tuuntaki worried he was going to refuse so he quickly outbursted "Droid will fight to! Give it good juice and the laser cutter can shoot bolts, Very good, you buy yes?" The man then turned to the Laser cutter he seemed skeptical before speaking in a lucrative and professional tone "I'll pay Sixty for the droid" Tuuntaki was offended, He shook his head fast and waved his hands around at his waist "No, You pay 100!" "80.." The man replied, Tuuntaki backed away and started pacing, He was rubbing his head and pondering the price. "Ok, 80 Credits upfront!" The man shook his head "Half now, Half later.." Tuuntaki simply nodded, The man was going to be screwed over anyways, This man just so happened to be targeted by Tuuntaki, Who was originally hired by a Group of Pirates that wanted to track his ship and then raid it after it left some other port carrying goods. "Bring the droid to my ship, Over there" He pointed at a ship then handed Tuuntaki 40 Credits, Tuuntaki nodded and as soon as the man left, He planted the tracking device on the droid, Then brought the Droid about a half a hour later, The man was simply standing, Waiting for him, And rushed Tuuntaki as if he had somewhere important to go, He paid Tuuntaki the rest of the credits, Then he was off.
And so was Tuuntaki, Who bolted down to a Nearby Cantina he searched around the Cantina for a while before finding his shady business partners in a Corner, Drinking, "Did ya do it?" Tuuntaki nodded, Feeling nervous around the Pirates as he handed over the tracker, They could shoot him now, And not pay him.. It was a horrible risk, Tuuntaki almost shutted his eyes in fear, then the Pirates set down a bag, It was fairly large the size of about two fists and filled with Credits. Tuuntaki cheered, His loud "Utini!" filled the Cantin as everyone glanced over at the Happy Jawa before Tuuntaki bolted out the door, and Returned to his Sandcrawler to split the Reward with the Jawa that supplied the Tracker, Tuuntaki then, Tired from a long day which included this event.. Settled down in a comfy spot and fell asleep...
