Took much longer than I originally thought, but here it is, done. [hider=Verro Tallav, Mirialan Mercenary] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/niwkkF2.png[/img][/center] [center][color=c3be15][u][b]Name:[/b][/u][/color] Verro Tallav [color=c3be15][u][b]Gender:[/b][/u][/color] Male [color=c3be15][u][b]Age:[/b][/u][/color] 26 [color=c3be15][u][b]Species:[/b][/u][/color] Mirialan [color=c3be15][u][b]Homeworld:[/b][/u][/color] Mirial [color=c3be15][u][b]Occupation:[/b][/u][/color] Mercenary[/center] [hr][color=c3be15][u][b]Appearance:[/b][/u][/color] [url=https://78.media.tumblr.com/cc286e3ea037ff7fc129ddbd43b47ab9/tumblr_otw5dxIDAN1u4iaoyo1_r3_500.png]Verro[/url] is a slightly below average height Mirialan, standing at 5 feet 7 inches. His skin is yellow green, slightly more yellow, one of the common Mirialan skin colors. His tattoos are fairly average for his age as well. He has one across his the bridge of his nose, bracketed by two more. He has one on his chin, and a cluster of diamonds between his emerald green eyes. He keeps his ash grey hair in a simple, low maintenance, high and tight style. He has an athletic build, thanks to years of an active lifestyle. [color=c3be15][u][b]Skills:[/b][/u][/color] Having been a former security officer, Verro is familiar with hand to hand techniques, basic medical, blasters, and close quarters action. Having since resigned from his post, he has only gotten better at close quarters combat, shooting, grappling, and he capitalizes on his natural agility by practicing his acrobatic skill. Combined, his speed, agility, and preference towards fighting in short range, culminates into something that common soldiers have difficulty keeping up with. As a soldier, Verro is very impressive. However in almost every other category, he suffers. He has no knowledge whatsoever of mechanics, electronics, engineering, and his education is average at best. [color=c3be15][u][b]Personality:[/b][/u][/color] Verro is a quiet, thoughtful man, always taking the time to think about what he's about to say and taking him time to say it. During combat his communications, if he has allies, are short and concise, never speaking more than needed. He's quick thinking and perceptive. Calm and collected. His temper is nearly non-existent, and he's open minded to new cultures and teachings. Verro is not hesitant to admit that he doesn't know something, and if someone offers to extend their knowledge, he always takes advantage and tries to learn as best he can. Despite that he always seems to be distant, a side effect of his tendency to travel. He's learned to always keep people at arms length, it makes goodbyes easy, and if they get hurt he's able to control his emotions to more logically assess the situation. For the few people he has an emotional connection to, he would travel across the galaxy to go to their aid, and he knows he would. He tries to keep that amount of people rather low. [hr][color=c3be15][u][b]Biography:[/b][/u][/color] Born in 30 BBY on the Mirialan homeworld of Mirial, his childhood was fairly normal. His father was a civil engineer and his mother a doctor, his extended family was huge, with a dozen uncles and aunts, dozens of cousins. The Tallav family was very close knit, having family gatherings and parties often. He was 12 when the Clone Wars broke out, and someone from his fathers past came by to tell them about it. His father and mother debated leaving Mirial, and soon his uncles and aunts joined the discussion. The world was in separatist space, and they knew the Republic wouldn't treat their citizens harshly. They weren't so certain about the separatists. About half of the family decided to stay of Mirial, while Verro, his mother, father and the other half decided to move to Republic space. The family scattered, and Verro ended up moving to Coruscant. His father helped design and construct airfields and bases for the Republic army, while his mother worked in a hospital treating heavily wounded Clone Troopers. The mysterious man from his fathers past, Verro's godfather, visited occasionally. Every time he visited, he taught Verro something new. How to shoot, how to defend himself, how soldiers fought and moved on the battlefield. His father didn't object, fearing the new, more unstable galaxy. His mother protested, but she never went further than expressing her distaste at her son learning to fight. Over the years he often visited a small garrison of Coruscant Guard, the clone troopers there enjoying his visits. Verro asked them to teach him how to fight, and they obliged. As the Clone Wars came to a close, Verro's friends at the garrison became more and more distant. When the Great Jedi Purge began, the Coruscant Guard told Verro to stop visiting, one trooper admitting that he thought the galaxy was going to become a much darker place over the next few decades. A few weeks later, his godfather visited once more. He walked directly to Verro's father and the two began to argue for what seemed like forever. Eventually, his godfather won the argument, and gave Verro a pistol. He said it was for his own protection. His family, lead by his godfather moved back to Mirial. One by one, his aunts and uncles came back from the other planets, reuniting the family. His godfather settled on Mirial as well, living about a long walks distance away from Verro's home. At the age of 16, Verro joined the planet militia. Sweeping through basic training, thanks to the training his godfather and his former friends at the Coruscant garrison gave him. Verro continued to train with his godfather and did nothing much for the next two years. Discontent with his current situation and feeling that he was meant for something more, he saved up his credits, bought his own armor and a blaster, and handed in his resignation. He told his family that he was going to travel, and they gave him their blessings. He took a job as a merchant guard and left Mirial. He ended up near Mandalore, used the money he earned to buy more equipment, then took on another merchant guard job to a new place. Then he kept on going, eventually becoming hired gun, asking more experienced guards and bounty hunters for tips and training as much as he could. Eventually Verro became known amongst the merchants as a vigilant guard, capable in combat and honorable. During one job a wealthy merchant admitted that his daughter had been kidnapped by the local gang, and Verro offered his services to rescue her. Verro and two other merchant guards were hired to rescue her, and with a quick operation, she was safe and the gangs were arrested and turned to the local authorities. Verro's reputation increased and he began to take more varied tasks, including hostage rescue, weapons and equipment testing, security testing, bodyguard tasks, material liberation, almost always from the same merchants who had hired him as a simple guard. [hr][hider=Armory] [color=c3be15][u][b]Weapons:[/b][/u][/color] Verro has a myriad of weapons on him while on duty, having taken a page or two from the famous Mandalorian warriors, just by glancing at his weapons one could easily think he were one. He himself holds more than one customized weapon system, sinking a lot of credits into their modifications. He doesn't regret the cost though, on more than one occasion he strongly believes that his custom equipment has saved his skin. He carries one, heavily modified [url=http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/DXR6_heavy_carbine]DXR-6 Heavy Carbine[/url]. The modifications include shortening the barrel of the carbine, reducing its accuracy slightly, but making it easily to maneuver with, changing the aesthetic of the weapon to fit his preferences, cutting the stock and replacing it with a lightweight extendable stock, and cutting the macrobinocular scope out. Replacing the scope is a simple carrying handle with flip up iron sights. The handle is lined with railing, so Verro can reattach the scope for longer range shooting. All of the modifications considered, the weapon is only a DXR-6 internally. Externally the weapon is much lighter, much more compact, and more suited towards closer quarters combat than a standard unmodified DXR-6. Verro carries two sidearms, following the teachings of his godfather. A gift from his godfather, his first blaster, is an old but well maintained [url=http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/DC-15s_side_arm_blaster]DC-15s Sidearm Blaster[/url], issued to Clone Commandos. Verro asked his godfather where he got such an uncommon weapon, but he simply winked and then changed the subject. The side arm has a small magazine, fairly low strength and little penetrating power, but it got the job done, had a recharging power cell and weapon is fairly small. Verro uses its smaller size to his advantage, hiding the weapon and its holster on his lower back just below his backpack. Although there are smaller blaster pistols, holdout blasters in particular, he prefers this weapon. His second blaster pistol is not as inconspicuous. His [url=http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/DT-29_heavy_blaster_pistol]DT-29 Heavy Blaster Pistol[/url] is an incredibly powerful sidearm, with power and armor penetration not expected from a blaster pistol. Though it only holds six bolts per energy pack, one well placed shot will take down any heavy infantryman, or even damage an armored vehicle when shot at in the right places. Verro has only just recently acquired this weapon, and is constantly fiddling with it to get used to the weapon. This is his primary side arm now, with his DC-15s being his back up. Verro has heard many stories about the peerless Mandalorian warriors throughout history, about the Grand Army of the Republic's special forces clones, ARC troopers and Clone Commandos, and he looks up to them as unparalleled soldiers. In imitation of these great warriors, he has adopted the style of wrist mounted weaponry. On his left gauntlet he has a portable energy shield, based on the designs of the [url=http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Death_Watch_portable_shield]Death Watch Portable Shield[/url] that the Nite Owls used. The original design of the shield was circular and fairly small. Verro's shield however is tower shaped, in an oval, large enough to cover his torso and extend down to the middle of his thigh if he were standing straight. His right gauntlet houses two weapons, the [url=http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/MM9_rocket_system]MM9 Rocket System[/url], and the [url=http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Dur-24_wrist_laser/Legends]Dur-24 Wrist Laser[/url]. He very rarely uses these wrist mounted weapons, as the habit of firing wrist rockets can get very expensive, very quickly. And the Dur-24 Wrist Laser, despite it being as powerful as a blaster rifle, is difficult to aim at range and can't fire in rapid succession. Both of his knuckle plates houses a hidden vibroblade, based on the designs of the Clone Commandos Katarn gauntlet vibroblade. Verro has another vibroknife strapped to his right boot, though he has never actually killed anyone with the knife, he does use it often to open boxes, tins of food, or threaten someone when he needs emphasis. [color=c3be15][u][b]Armor and Equipment:[/b][/u][/color] Verro has a particular suit of armor that most would call excessive. His 'armor' is a mix of clothing, plating, and armorweave. There's layers to it, and looking at Verro wearing all of it, it's difficult to discern where the it all starts and ends. Firstly he wears simple cloth shorts, socks, and a shirt. Layered on top is his plate armor. He has a breastplate, upper leg plates, pauldrons and upper arm plates. The armor is composite, plastoid layered on top of durasteel. Lastly he wears an armorweave jacket, gorget and pants over the armor, concealing it from sight. He reasons that without visible hard armor plating most enemies would shoot at his center mass, where he is actually most protected, instead of aiming at the weakpoints between his armor plating. His helmet and gauntlets are made of durasteel, although they've been layered with plastoid, effectively matching the same composite armor style as the rest of his plate armor. His boots are simple hiking boots, comfortable, and unarmored. His goggles are black tinted and contains a very basic heads up display, time, compass, and a lowlight vision mode. Often placed in a pouch on his belt is an [url=https://rmatey.files.wordpress.com/2013/08/ps2_helmet_concept.jpg]armored mask[/url] with a built in rebreather, he uses this when there's toxic or poisonous gas in the atmosphere, or smoke. The helmet has a basic heads up display that for the most part matches his goggles, it displays time, a compass, and features a lowlight and an additional thermal vision mode. Verro wears a belt, tactical vest and backpack, all carrying his various pieces of equipment. His belt carries various things, a multitool, several pouches of energy packs for his side arm, four grenade pouches holding two thermal detonators and two stun grenades, and a medpack. He has two pouches containing his wrist rockets, six anti armor and six anti personnel mini rockets. His vest has pouches for even more energy packs, mostly for his blaster carbine, and his backpack has a communications device wired to his helmet, as well as an additional medpack, rations, and space for other items.
