[indent][h3]Notes on Equipment[/h3][/indent][list]
[*]Neo-Crusader arms and armor is pretty standardize as per the reforms pushed with the establishment of the Neo-Crusaders to make them more like an actually army then a group of raiders. 
[*]Neo-Crusader Armor varies rather in color. In order of increasing hierarchy they go Blue: Standard Trooper, Silver: Veteran Trooper Red: Rally Master, Yellow/Gold: Field Marshall. 
[*]Neo-Crusader Shock Troopers such as your characters are a little bit special, since they are under the direct orders of the Mandalore's second in command Cassus Fett and they happen to be doing suicidal crazy things they get the new toys from the war forges before everybody else.   
[*] All Neo-Crusader Shock Troopers have jetpacks for mobility and when they are pushed out of moving aircraft in low orbit.
[*] In terms of weaponry Blaster Rifles, Pistols, Vibroblades, etc being elites you have a little bit more freedom in what toys you get.

[hider=Rika]
[b]Name:[/b] Rika Lapaz
[b]Age:[/b] 33
[b]Gender:[/b] Female
[b]Species:[/b] Epicanthix
[b]Combat Role:[/b] Team Leader
[b]Years in Mynock Squad:[/b] Eight

[b]Appearance:[/b] 
Rika looks more or less your average standard fair for one of her kind. She stands at roughly 2 meters in height and close to 190 pounds most that being hard layers of muscle from years of fighting and training. This appearance makes her stand out among the rest of the near-humans in the bunch using instead naturally taller races like the Taung as sparring partners.  Her hair is in characteristic Epicanthix fashion dark brown in color kept short and uneven in places as the warrior cut it herself and well hands made for killing are sometimes not very good at hair maintenance. She sports an olive complexion that depending on the amount of sunlight received can change to a light brown in color. Her eyes are a playful shade of green, very fierce and almost inquisitive as if they are always peering through your soul. The top of her right ear is jagged and torn as if something very angry got a solid hold of it and pulled with deadly force. When she is outside her armor she dresses in  plain clothes, nothing too movement restricting and nothing overtly appealing to the eye. Her skin is a patchwork of healing and healed wounds and scars, as all the little nicks and bruises add up over the years

[b]Skills and Abilities:[/b][list]
[*] Rally Master: Rika has spent the last eight years or so commanding squadrons in the thick of battle. An iron will and determination backed with a nonsense personality. She demands respect from all those put underneath her and respect is what she gets or else terrible things tend to happen. Her ability to command and keep her troops in order under pressure is a valuable skill in the heat of battle.
[*] Ambidextrous: Rika was born naturally ambidextrous and because of it can use both of her hands equally well in melee giving her an advantage with the ferocity and pressure presented in her attacks.  
[*] Dual Strike: In both ranged and melee combat Rika believes in the more is more philosophy of things. She has trained heavily in the use of duel wielding one handed weapons and the use of two handed weapons such as heavy rifles and such.
[*] Flyboy: Having been with the Shock Troopers for awhile at this point she has learned her way around the use of a thruster pack and is able to use it to increase her vertical range of movement to outmaneuver her opponents. 
[/list] 

[b]Equipment[/b][list]
[*] Mandalorian Assault Rifle: Like all Mandalorian designs the assault rifle is not subtle in the way it scatters hot death about. These rifles take the standard design and modify them to the point that they are barely recognizable to its originally bases. Using an overcharged power pack and converter to increase the maximum load and frequency dilation of each blast fired the rifle hit's harder then the standard Galactic Republic affair.
[*] 2x Vibroblade: Rika's back up melee weapons used over the longer Vibrosword for the less restricted movement in close quarters. These ultrasonic vibrating weapons were deadly in the hands of those that knew how to use them.   
[*] 4x Thermal Detonators: When you need things to go boom, you always have a couple of Thermal Detonators on standby just in case. 
[*] Rika's Mandalorian Shock Trooper Armor: Like all Mandalorian armor it was built to the user and Rika's was no different, the Armor has shown its wear and tear over the years with scorch marks and nonconformites along the plate but it is kept in generally good condition. It is red in color to detonate her status as Rally Master.

[b]History:[/b] 
Rika was born on Geonosis, her parents were captured by slavers looking to sell warriors to fight in the gladiatorial arena on the planet. Her parents were taken from Panatha as the Epicanthix's prowess as warriors was known throughout the outer rim. Little did they know that Rika's mother was pregnant at the the time. Growing up in the fighters dwellings underneath the arena was a strange one to say the least but very formative. From birth she was surrounded by warriors form all around the galaxy and form all walks of life. She watched them train when she younger and as she grew she even began to ask them to teach her, because of this she developed a strong foundation in the martial ways which would help her later in life. Though life in the arena was not all sunshine and rainbows, both her parents would perish in the fighting their and effectively make her an orphan by the age of eight, those warriors that she had been surrounded by slowly becoming in a way a sort of new adoptive family. At the age of thirteen she would enter her first gladiatorial match and by the time she was seventeen she was one of the arena's premier champions. Life was okay if a bit empty and static, she enjoyed the fighting but it wasn't fulfilling it left her desiring and wanting more. Having been stuck primarily inside one building for her entire life, she wanted to see the world. 

Her chance came when a group of Mandalorians came to Geonosis. These groups came sporadically from time to time to participate in the games to test their skills and honor in combat. Rika knew some of the Mandalorian's as their were a few among the ranks of the gladiators but what she did know was that they had a habit of taking any of the gladiators that could beat any of them with them as they had proven their worth and value. It would be Rika's only chance and she knew she had to take it. At the age of eighteen she was to go up against a man twice her age and probably triple the combat experience that she had. Everyone expected a slaughter. But it was this fact of underestimation that proved to the be the Mandalorian's downfall. Filled with hubris and pride he did not take the battle against this girl seriously. As he taunted and flaunted his power he took his eyes away from the girl just long enough for her to stick a vibroblade right where it hurts. She would always remember the long period of silence that followed, before the stadium erupted in cheers once more, cheers not for anybody else but for her. Following the fight, the remaining Mandalorians convinced the head of the arena to "relieve" Rika from her contract and brought her back to Dxun where a great congregation was forming. The Neo-Crusaders were preparing for war.

Rika would spend one full year training on the Demon Moon, learning the ways of the Mandalorian warriors. She was trained from the ground up as her time on Geonosis had provided a strong base, as her drill master had put it "she had no class" she only had raw power and not the skills necessary to use this power to its full advantage. The training was long and arduous, they would run for hours upon end to the point of near death from exhaustion and then move straight into sparring first with fists and then with swords. But it trained discipline and a strict rigor as if one fellow failed you all failed with them. It got you to start treating your fellow warriors not as just soldiers but as brothers and family. Eventually she was put into her final test, she was taken from her bed in the middle of the night without warning thrown onto a transport shuttle and dropped into the middle of the Dxun forest many miles away from camp. They left her with a note with simple orders survive. And survive she did finally returning back to camp three weeks later battered and bloody, but victorious and officially now a  Mandalorian warrior.

A year later at the age of nineteen the Mandalorian wars began in earnest. The fighting was harsh and brutal each day was a fight for life as the Neo-Crusaders pushed to take control over the rest of the outer rim. The Mandalore wanted a solid staging area to be able to launch from before they brought the fighting into the core worlds. Rika would prove herself over many battles as an able warrior with a strong head for logistics and getting others to follow her into the jaws of death and back. This skill did not go unoticed and at twenty two she was moved into the Shock Troopers. At the age of the twenty five after a successfully leading a squad to destroy a heavily fortified ground to space gun emplacement she was promoted to Rally Master. As Rally Master she placed in charge of a group of Shock Troopers that would become known as Mynock Squad and from there they say the rest is history.

Rika would continue to lead over eighty raids and insertions over the next eight years with Mynock Squad. While the squad itself was constantly being rearranged and moved about as some died, others were promoted or relocated as was saw fit, Rika remained the constant in the equation. She became known for her tendency to stick life and limb out for those underneath her and her stubborn personality. It has been about a decade and a half of constant warfare now and their had been ups and downs good men and women died because of her mistakes, and yet their was also glorious victories and songs of praise. Now as they began the push into the core regions. Rika can only wonder how she is going to drag them out of this one. 

[b]Psychological Analysis:[/b] 
Rika is a fairly standard example of being a product of her background. She never had what people would call a normal life from day one she was raised in a place where combat was the most expressive way of feeling. To those unfamiliar with it, it may sound odd or even foreign but to her words seem almost small in comparison to the displays of emotion that combat the allows through the power of strikes, the stances and movements. She is in firm belief that you never really know somebody until you've fought them because in that moment you push aside everything else and instead all you have left is the body and the truth. Though in many ways socially she is rather lost, having never had a normal life where talking was meant for more than giving orders and combat drills. Verbally she is very blunt and to the point, as she finds little value in speaking more than is required, for why speak when you can fight.  Her upbringing give her a very strong sense of understanding, warriors of all kinds fought in the gladiatorial arena and because of this she is much more open and willing to adopt new ideas and plans than some more stubborn individuals knowing the importance of fluidity.
