Personal history
Rawhide didn't choose the criminal life, he was born in it. His tribe was a nomadic one that lived off the environment, and they used to be able to exist peacefully in the habitable zones of the desert with other Miinu, but as the Termite Hive took complete control of more and more area, his tribe had to fight to survive, lest give up their very way of life. The tribe turned to theft and violence to survive, giving them the label of bandits.
Rawhide was born in the midst of the messy situation. He was never given a chance to have a good life, as his tribe was constantly fighting, roaming from town to town only to get chased out for their reputation. He was taught that the only person he could rely on for survival was himself. He was thought to fight, to steal, and to survive out in the harsh conditions of the western Bituin heat.
During one of the hardest summers of the group had ever seen, they had to hunker down near Dusty Dugout to hide from the sandstorms. That's when a villager that had previously had his whole farm raided by the group went out of his way to set the camp on fire. Rawhide was the only one to escape, as he was on look out duty and outside of the camp. He caught the insect running from the scene and chased him down, cutting the man down in a violent rage, before remembering to check on his tribe, but when he came back, the whole place was up in flames with no survivors.
Rawhide was on his own from then on, unable to sustain his nomadic lifestyle for free, he started taking on odd jobs to earn money for supplies. Many of these jobs involved robberies and many more involving hit jobs. He's since held disdain for Dusty Dugout and especially it's sheriff, Comet, a bug he has had his fair share of run-ins with and has put a bounty on his head.
