I'll have a CS up soon! Question though, is there any form of weaponry that isn't a light sabre and isn't just a conventional blaster? Like blades of sort but more deadly so it would be on-par with a light sabre?
Vibroblades.

Zaheed Kast Male Human - Mandalorian 29Calm, and collected, Zaheed Kast, better known as just "Kast", is a highly disciplined, and efficient, if aloof Mandalorian mercenary. Selling his services to the highest bidder, Kast avoids forming personal connections and prefers to remain professional and formal. Able to maintain his cool under fire, Kast is capable of operating at peak efficiency in high stress situations, and is quick of mind as well as action. Kast, is extremely analytical and often picks up on small details, as a result of him typically operating by himself or with a small group of people. He is slow to trust others, believing strongly in the greed of individuals over any morals they claim to have. The exception to this is when Kast is in the presence of another Mandalorian, where he is much more open, and much more willing to trust. Living loosely by the values of the Mandalorians, Kast considers himself an honorable mercenary, and therefore many cuts above typical mercs and guns for hire.- As a Mandalorian, Kast has been extensively trained in the arts of war. Due to years of training, as well as several years as a mercenary, Kast is well versed in: - Kast wears a highly customized suit of Mandalorian armor forged form beskar, or Mandalorian Iron. This high quality armor is both extremely durable and protective, and has served Kast well over the course of the last decade. While the body of the armor was forged with help from his family, Kast wears a newer, custom tailored helmet with a built in HUD. The new helmet replaces the sweeping edges of the typical Mandalorian helmet, with rounded surfaces. His armor's undersuit is made from armorweave, as is the cloak he wears. - Kast wears a Boost Pack, as well as a pair of jet boots, granting him limited flight. His boots, allow him maneuverability, while the pack itself provides vertical and horizontal thrust. - Wrist mounted weapons are extremely popular amongst Mandalorians, Each of Kast's wrist gauntlets has mounts for two pieces of equipment. Kast regularly changes these pieces out to fit the situation he is in. Weapons he often mounts are: Mini-flame throwers, grappling cables, Security/Hack tools, concussion missile launchers, wrist mounted blasters, poison dart launchers, and retractable blades. - A marksman rifle favored by Kast, it fires in two modes, a three round burst, or a single powerful shot. - Kast carries a pair of custom blaster pistols with him. Like his rifle, these blaster pistols have two fire modes, a rapid two round burst, or a single more powerful shot. - A veritable walking armory, Kast carries a variety of gear with him, either in easy to reach pouches, or hidden on his person. He carries a few thermal detonators, several blades, field rations, an emergency medical kit, and spare power cells.- Rarely trusts others- Works for the highest bidder- Has difficulty forming meaningful relationships- Generally cold and aloofA rough and tough Mandalorian mercenary currently under the employ of Taskforce Episilon 217, Zaheed Kast was born and raised on Mandalore. Originally born as Zaheed Ara, Zaheed's parents were killed in battle when he was young, and he was subsequently adopted and renamed Zaheed Kast by another Mandalorian couple. Now the first and only son of the Kast family, Zaheed was well loved by his new family. He began his first lessons with his adoptive mother at a very young age, learning the basics of warfare as well as other various lessens of importance.When Zaheed turned 8, he was ready to accompany his father as he began his 5 years of survival and military training. During this time, he learned the majority of his combat and survival skills, from marksmanship, to tracking and hunting. The 5 years training with his father were difficult, grueling years. His father was caring, but very traditional and strict, and enforced upon Zaheed the highest of standards, reasoning that his son should be able surpass him when he got older. It was also during this time that the Mandalorian ideals of loyalty his family and clan, discipline, courage, and respect for his heritage was stressed and ingrained into his being. Upon turning thirteen, Zaheed underwent the rite of passage known as the Verd'goten, where the skills he learned over the last five years were put to the test. The trial was a difficult, and harsh ritual, but due to his father's strict training, Zaheed passed with what was deemed exceptional skill, he was declared officially an adults in Mandalorian society. After completing the Verd'goten, Zaheed returned to his father, whom along with several clan elders would provide him with even more advanced training over the course of the next 5 years. During these five years of extra training, Zaheed forged his helmet, and with the help of his family, forged his armor.Upon turning 18, he left Mandalore with support from his family and began his career as a mercenary. Within his first year of mercenary work, Kast had already underwent a series of close encounters and dangerous scrapes, including losing, and later retrieving his armor, as well as almost dying several times. During his first year as a mercenary, Kast had realized that there were very few people that he could regard as honorable as a fellow Mandalorian. This first year shaped the rest of his mercenary career, as he made smarter choices, and trusted less people, and as a result complete more missions successfully and got into life threatening situations less often. He was in the employ of several groups. At times he worked as an asset for the Galactic Republic, other times he was assassinating Republic officials, or working with pirates and smugglers. Picking up a reputation as a dangerous, but dependable mercenary, capable of a variety of tasks, from killing to stealing data, Kast racked up an impressive track record of completed missions and became a go-to asset for many high profile companies and individuals.Now over a decade after leaving Mandalore, Kast finds himself once again in the employ of the Galactic Republic as an asset for their Taskforce Episilon 217, providing his wide expertise where it may be needed.

Dude it's cool i just kinda threw my dart at my board of characters and it came up aloof lone wolf marksmen. But it could of easily have been loud mouth demolitions expert, or war wearied rifleman. I do play a good war weary character made Sep cry.

If I may.... I just got some things from reading peoples sheets. But I'm not the GM so yeah... @Apollo... can I just say this. I hope Eisen won't mind me saying this but I'll say it anyway. Force Sight, especially for a Mirakula doesn't work the same as regular sight. You're seeing the world in a completely different plain of view. You sense things you don't them and that gives you a 360 coverage of your area, it also lets you know more about people just by meeting them. But you don't actually see colours, or what people or things look like. You just know that they're there.@Viet all I'll say is you gotta remember what the Jedi and the Republic did to mandalore recently :P

Lol.. Uh refresh my memory? I'm not too hot on my star wars lore
Eisenhorn said
@vietmyke: Your approved, and like Sep has been so helpfully pointing out (And I'm not being sarcastic, I do appreciate it), a fair bit of tension will exist between most mandolorians and the Jedi.@Renny: I dont mind being an untrained force sensitive, but considering the potentially galaxy spanning nature of this, I would appreciate having at least some allegiance to one side or the other, to facilitate keeping your character along with everyone else and not getting left behind.@Blackbeard: Well, once everyone who is working on a CS is done, I have one more person who should be coming in but after that, I'll be starting up on an intro post with the current cast in mind. But I won't wait too long, since I don't want to stall out before we even start, so I'll have an IC post up within the next few days, at the latest.@Sep: Welcome to the Taskforce, Master Rorwoor. And no worries about adding to the history as IC events progress, and I do appreciate you putting some basics down for personality, as well, even if your not fond of having to.Alright, so, as I have said before, once I get the first IC post up, I'll make the two PM threads for all Republic and Sith characters, pass along necessary information as needed, and give ya'll a means to conspire in secrecy with one another on each side. Sith, this will include a lot more details about the superweapon mentioned before as well as local presence in any given episode, Republic, this will include greater details about the home station and assets being deployed on any given mission during an episode. As well as whatever else I feel is necessary to give out, or think to do so.

Oh yeah, Mandalorian wars, I remember that. Thats like... why more Mandalorians started being mercenaries or something like that.Lol but oh definitely I can see there being some degree of animosity between Kast and the Jedi here on the team. But at the same time, I think that character friction will make for much better character development than everyone being all sameyEdit: For example, Enalais' Jedi character is essentially the polar opposite of Kast, Lucina is emotional and happy and forms bonds very easily, whereas Kast is cold and aloof and avoids personal bonds. I can already see plenty to do with just those two characters alone
