[color=indianred][b]Name:[/b][/color] Zaheed Kast
[color=indianred][b]Species:[/b][/color] Human 
[color=indianred][b]Age:[/b][/color] 24
[color=indianred][b]Rank/Title:[/b][/color] Mando'ade Warrior
[color=indianred][b]Role:[/b][/color] Demolitions Specialist/Saboteur 

[color=indianred][indent][b]Physical Appearance[/b][/indent][/color]Standing in at 6'2, Zaheed has a large, athletic build, well suited to the rigors of combat. Underneath his armor, Zaheed's body and face are riddled with scars and healed wounds from the various missions and campaigns of his military career. His body also sports numerous tattoos, the most recent of which are traditional Mandalorian tattoos. Underneath his helmet, Zaheed's face is worn and rough, with short hair and a trimmed beard.

[color=indianred][indent][b]Skills:[/b][/indent][/color]Resident pyromaniac and explosives expert, Zaheed serves as Resol Squad's demolitions man and saboteur. Well versed with the usage (and occasional disarming) of explosive devices, Kast is the go-to guy for setting up explosive traps, breaching buildings and destroying vehicles. For such a jittery person, Zaheed also has surprisingly fine and precise movements- particularly with his hands. With his A280C, Zaheed can also deliver fairly accurate fire from most ranges, though his weapon's more compact nature, as well as the rest of his equipment gives a preference for medium ranges.[list]

[*][hider=Mandalorian Combat Armor][IMG]http://i59.tinypic.com/28ji4cw.jpg[/IMG]
[b][color=indianred]Combat Armor[/color][/b] - Kast wears a customized suit of Mandalorian armor made of durasteel. With colors consisting mostly of olive and burnished orange, and his armor's undersuit is made from armorweave, all of which can seal and allow for limited survivability in vacuum. The helmet sports a very small life support unit- for emergencies more than deployment, and a JT-12 Jetpack allows Zaheed to combine heavy armor with high mobility. The helmet also features a rangefinder, and every bit of the armor is heavily treated with fireproofing.[/hider]  
[*][color=indianred][b]Wrist Rockets[/b][/color] - A single shot rocket launcher fixed onto the top of Kast's left wrist gauntlet, launches anti-vehicle rockets.
[*][color=indianred][b]x2 Czerka ZX Miniature Flame Projector[/b][/color] - A miniature flamethrower attached to each of Kast's wrist gauntlets.
[*][color=indianred][b]Dur-24 Wrist Laser[/b][/color] - A small blaster mounted just below the flamethrower.
[*][color=indianred][b]Datapad/Commlink[/b][/color] - mounted on the right wrist.
[*][color=indianred][b]Grappling Cable[/b][/color] - mounted on the right wrist.
[*][hider=A280C Blaster Rifle][color=indianred][img]https://i.imgur.com/mQb4NjD.png[/img]
[b]A280C Blaster Rifle[/b][/color] - A cut down variant of the standard rebellion blaster rifle. Its reduced size and weight allows Kast to more easily engage in short to medium ranged combat, without sacrificing too much punching power.[/hider]
[*][hider=A180 Blaster Pistol][img]https://i.imgur.com/gOKD2X4.jpg[/img]
[color=indianred][b]A180 Blaster Pistol[/b][/color] - A lightweight, versatile, and moderately powerful blaster pistol, good for close ranged engagements.[/hider]
[*][color=indianred][b]Combat Knife[/b][/color] - Ideal for close quarters when the 'continuum of force' has been reduced to hand to hand combat. For optimum performance, the leading edge, 'pointy end', should be applied to the enemy and thrust into vital regions. This should be repeated as necessary. 
[*][color=indianred][b]Explosives[/b][/color] - Stored on various hard-cases about his body:[list][*]x2 Blocks of Detonite plastic explosive.
[*]x2 Spare Wrist Rockets
[*]x3 Thermal Detonator
[*]x2 C-25 Fragmentation Grenade[/list]
[*][color=indianred][b]Other Equipment[/b][/color] - A veritable walking armory, Kast carries a variety of gear with him, either in easy to reach pouches on a pack at the small of his back- out of the way of his jetpack, or hidden on his person. He carries a field security overloader, a small blade, field rations, and a plasma cuttting/welding torch.

[color=indianred][indent][b]Personal History:[/b][/indent][/color]
A rough and tough Mandalorian trained misfit currently under the command of Old man Resol, Zaheed Kast was born and raised in some backwater Outer Rim slum. A troublemaker since the day he was born, Zaheed regularly got into trouble, whether it be fighting with, stealing from, or stealing with other slums kids, causing trouble for other locals, vandalism, or even the occasional rioting. Zaheed was a bad egg with a worse attitude, a lack of respect for authority, and a penchant for causing fires- both figuratively and literally.

As a youth, Zaheed hated the empire. Their troopers walked up and down the streets as if they owned the place- because technically they did. They abused business owners and locals alike, and taking away people who dissented or questioned imperial rule. In his early teen years, Zaheed would regularly antagonize the Imperials, stealing, vandalizing, and disrupting them and their operations, and by the time he was 16, he had spent almost as many nights in a local jail cell as he did his own bed. Poor, down on his luck, and with no small amount of anger towards the Empire, when Alliance recruiters came around looking for soldiers to join their cause, it was no small surprise Zaheed joined up.

Unfortunately for the alliance, Zaheed was far from the ideal soldier. He did well in their crash course through basic training- he shot well, he fought well, he was acutely aware of his surroundings and thought on the ball. Unfortunately he was hot headed, had a little too much fun during explosives training, and the problem with authority was still there. Argumentative and insubordinate, Zaheed was usually the primary reason why his training unit had to several extra miles worth of running a day, and even by the time he finished basic he was still running miles. Finished with his training, it was apparent that no one wanted him in their units. He was shuffled around from unit to unit until he eventually found himself under the command of Colonel Ghill, who promptly shuffled him, and the rest of his fellow misfits under the command of Resol.

Resol, promptly beat the insubordination out of Zaheed, and molded him into a more disciplined, if still cocky and argumentative soldier with mando training. One of the newest members of Resol Squad, Zaheed still manages to make himself known- with his explosive tendencies.[/hider]
