Bekk
---I wanted to be different, so I chose to spell his first name with two "k"s instead of a "ck" - Bekk.
Beck is a Swedish name meaning
From the brook; English meaning
Brook.. People with this name have a deep inner desire for travel and adventure, and want to set their own pace in life without being governed by tradition. They tend to be creative and excellent at expressing themselves. They are drawn to the arts, and often enjoy life immensely. They are often the center of attention, and enjoy careers that put them in the limelight. They tend to become involved in many different activities, and are sometimes reckless with both their energies and with money.
~ Paraphrased description from SheKnows"Beck" is also a surname of Germanic descent, meaning "brook" or "stream" (related to Old Norse bekkr). In Hebrew, it exists as an abbreviated form of B'nei Kiddoshim - "sons of the martyrs".
~ Paraphrased from WikipediaGin
---As in
Gin Rummy, the card game. I see the marking on his nose, going up between his eyes, as a spade and wanted to find a subtle way to acknowledge that; it is easily my favorite part of his design. It also fits with the personality I have planned for him - an excellent card player who loves Poker and other similar card games.
Mortem
---A slight twist on the French word
mort, which simply means
death. I've always liked French and I thought the name suited both his pallet and personality - something dark and mysterious that almost everyone tries to avoid yet it always catches up to them.

---Beck's companion is a blue, white and grey
Fuzzler, named Jinx; the two are practically inseparable. Bekk has trained Jinx to accompany him on his heists, she scouts ahead and helps him avoid trouble like alarms and guards. But their relationship doesn't end there - Bekk needs Jinx for moral support and sense of companionship; Jinx needs Bekk to take care of her and provide the deep bond her species thrives on. If you ever see one without the other, something is terribly wrong.

Aliases/Nicknames: Jinx, "Jin", "Jins", "Jinxy", "Jin-Jin", "Cheeky Devil"66 wordsAspirations for the future:
---Bekk's dream is to become a world-renowned card-player. Currently, his favorite game is Poker, and he is quite good, especially for his young age - he is able to hold his own against semi-professionals for at least a few rounds.
---While this is what Bekk tells others, it's not an exact truth - although none of it is false, it is not Bekk's
top dream. He really wants to become the greatest thief the world has ever known. And while Bekk is good at card games, even for his age, he is even better at stealing.

Quirk:
Bekk can't sleep without a Luminara Candle and Jinx.
---Bekk's parents got him a Luminara candle when he was very little - he had trouble sleeping when he "moved out" of the room he and Scout shared and got his own own room; being thunder-storm season didn't help. The candle emits a soft flickering glow, and if it's super quiet, he can hear the "wick" moving, creating a faint clicking sound.
---Jinx has slept next to or on top of Bekk ever since the two met three years ago. Now, he can't sleep without her near-by. Well, he
can, it just takes him forever to fall asleep and when he finally does he doesn't sleep well. He needs to hear or feel Jinx breathing; and falls asleep almost instantly if she is draped over his nose, between his ears or on his ribs.
---When Bekk was 7, they allowed him to get a pet and he picked Jinx. For the first week or so, she slept in her own little bed on his desk, then Bekk sprained his fore-leg after Scout dared him to jump from his favorite outdoor perch - an old doghouse that, when he was atop, he could see the whole neighborhood due the fact they already lived at the top of a slight hill. Of course, he couldn't back down from a dare and jumped. He landed wrong. That night, Bekk was in tears as he tried to sleep; partly from the faint pain as the anesthetic wore off, but mostly from fear. The next night wasn't much better and on top of that, there was a thunder-storm and after some begging, Cast and Oswyn agreed to let Jinx sleep on the bed with Bekk until his leg felt better - Jinx hasn't slept in her bed since.
