[hider=Takeda Vorne][center][color=fff79a][b]Character's Name[/b][/color] – Takeda Vorne [color=fff79a][b]Race[/b][/color] - Human [color=fff79a][b]Faction[/b][/color] - Mandalorians [color=fff79a][b]Character Alignment[/b][/color] – Neutral [color=fff79a][b]Character Background[/b][/color] - Born a twin to two Mandalorian warriors, Takeda’s upbringing was exactly the same as his twin sister; combat drills and instruction were instilled into him day by day, and by night he was learning of their culture, history, and glorious battles many generations ago. He loved to test himself against his fellow youth—friends and rivals both—and especially his sister, the only one he’d call his equal. For a time, Mandalore knew something close to true peace; it was when they least expected it that the Empire came to Mandalore in full force and intended to turn their cities and all their people to dust. He picked up his blaster, donned his armor, and joined the fight with any and all who refused to sit and cower while their world was encroached upon. The Mandalorians, despite supporting nonviolence and peaceful solutions, fought back ferociously against their invaders. But as Imperial walkers fell and entire Stormtrooper divisions toppled, another was sent to replace them without fail. Their people being massacred and their precious beskar stolen in great quantities, Takeda assisted his family and clan in helping evacuate all that they could before retreating themselves. Mandalore had fallen. With no time to mourn their dead, Takeda’s father had taken surviving members of Clan Vorne and others with him to the Outer Rim, far from where the Empire might care to look. Forming what became known as The Enclave—a safe haven for Mandalorian refugees and warriors alike who hoped to one day strike back at their butchers—he helped his parents in keeping their temporary homes safe and secure. His sister could not do the same and argued against simply hiding and finding others of their kind. A tense altercation between father and daughter occurred resulting in her departure from Clan Vorne. He didn’t say goodbye, at the time believing her to be a traitor to both their family and people. He regrets not trying to change her mind to this day. Doubling down on his father’s goals for The Enclave and consoling his mother when her thoughts wandered to his sister, Takeda was a pillar to his people as the years passed. Remarkably mature for his age, he cared for the sick and injured without complaint. When it was his time to head out and provide for his people by earning credits and finding supplies, he never allowed himself to fail, for failing would mean his people would suffer for it. His missions were diverse but never against anything he stood for. He became the warrior he was expected to be, and never compromised what he believed in for easy credits. The day they became strong enough to challenge the Empire directly, or at least what remained of it as they looked towards retaking Mandalore, he promised himself to be at the forefront and help lead that charge. They would fight for the peace that was taken from them, and he wouldn’t allow any of those butchers to live for what they’d done. [color=fff79a][b]Character Personality[/b][/color] – Takeda is a prideful, driven man with his people’s interests always in mind. He learned the value of making peace and building friendships but trained hard to make certain that if the time came to fight for himself, his honor, or the honor of his clan and people, he would leave scars that would never truly fade. As a result of the Great Purge, he cannot tolerate Imperials and will likely refuse peace in lone encounters with them. When the armor is equipped and the helmet is on, he becomes the living weapon he was trained to be by his mother and father. The only kindness he offers enemies is that he’ll make it clean and quick. When the helmet is off, he’s playful and humorous. He can hold a conversation well and is pleasant to be with depending on who you are and why you’ve come. This can change if the situation becomes tense; if you disrespect him or his people, the smile fades, and his presence suggests that the armor is on whether you see it or not. As he was taught, he will never willingly leave someone behind. In turn, he will never betray an ally unless proof of treachery is provided. [b][color=fff79a]Character's Physical Description[/color][/b] - [img]https://hollywoodhatesme.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/kenichi_matsuyama.jpg[/img] At a height of 5’11, Takeda is a lean, athletic Mandalorian who stands even taller against adversaries. Like all of his kind, he works to maintain peak physical condition constantly. Running long distances or climbing incredible heights is nothing to him, and he’s got the muscle from head to toe to suggest as such. His armor is composed entirely of beskar with carbon scoring dotting its surface. The integrity has been put to the test throughout his early adulthood and against a variety of foes; evidence of claw marks and small dents created from powerful weaponry line the otherwise solid surface. There is no unique color scheme, but a thick and black flame-retardant kama drops behind his waist and surrounds the majority of his legs, leaving a small opening between them. Space on the back is left for either a jetpack or a large, armored backpack for operations that require less momentum and a more explosive entry and exit. His helmet—possessing the signature T-shaped visor of Mandalorians— lacks an antenna but possesses the technology to detect heat signatures through surfaces. A black-colored bandolier strapped across his chest contains spare ammunition and rows of fragmentation grenades. A utility belt around his waist carries stims-shots and bacta spray for both him and his allies. [color=fff79a][b]Character Class[/b][/color] - Mercenary [color=fff79a][b]Items[/b][/color] - 1x DC-15LE w/ interchangeable ammunition packs—Standard and Explosive—and under-barrel grenade launcher. A strap is attached for easier carrying. 1x Jetpack, durable, tamper-resistant and built to last. 1x Armored Satchel for additional storage, equipped when Jetpack is not. 1x Retractable Vibrosword kept at right hip in place of blaster. 2x Mandalorian Vambraces containing repulsors, grappling lines, shield emitters, and whistling birds for crowd control and misdirection. [color=fff79a][b]Supporting Characters[/b][/color] - [hider=Clan Vorne and The Enclave][b][color=fff79a]Clan Vorne[/color][/b] and [color=fff79a][b]“The Enclave”[/b][/color] – His family and numerous survivors of the Great Purge, the Mandalorians have his back and he has theirs. They bring unique skillsets and talent for combat, but due to secrecy he makes use of as little of his comrades as possible. Their secrecy is their strength and because of that, the Enclave has safely reached thousands in strength and continues to grow in number by the week. Mostly comprised of warriors, a small detachment passed their prime are putting their knowledge and skills into helping prepare the next generation for challenges they must always face. The Enclave boasts a number of small corvettes, freighters, and fighters of multiple origins. What few craft they possess that are Mandalorian in origin are kept hidden at their base of operations. They are currently hidden away on Dantooine, far from the galactic conflict between the Remnant and the New Republic.

At the same time, he grooms his son to become a better leader for his people and thinks of his daughter often. He has surrendered any and all remaining beskar that was once a part of his armor and contributes it to his son, allowing him to be as protected as possible. Manages the Enclave’s network of allies and keeps tab of incoming and outgoing weaponry and ships as a quartermaster. Advises on strategy with a small council of experienced and trusted Mandalorian leaders. [img]https://i.mydramalist.com/MXVDpc.jpg[/img][/hider] [hider=Sora Vorne][color=fff79a][b]Sora Vorne[/b][/color] – Takeda’s mother and the wife of Yama-Da, she shares in the responsibility of keeping their people safe and secure while simultaneously helping gear them up to reclaim their world. A prideful woman who is fiercely protective of her family, she fought savagely against the Empire when the Great Purge started and has sworn vengeance for their fallen ever since. However, she has never been quite the same since her daughter left them. Has laid down her arms for the time being and acts as an Armorer, leaving what remains of her beskar and armor in a safe place to one day pass it on for her daughter’s usage.

As one of Takeda’s closest friends growing up, they are both fiercely protective of one another and will fight ferociously for the other’s sake. Often works with him on assignments to benefit the Enclave. Whether armor on or off, wears a plain red bandana around her neck. Wears Mandalorian Armor w/ Jetpack with a steel and black color scheme. Possesses vambraces with standard equipment. Replacing flamethrower attachments are paralyzing darts, electro-nets, and retractable wrist blades. Wields an Electrostaff for close quarters combat and excels in capturing fleeing targets. A DC-17 Blaster is kept at her left hip in case of emergencies, and a vibro-knife is holstered behind her waist. A 5’6 warrior with a pretty face and a dangerous swing.

She works to benefit their people and one day hopes to reclaim Mandalore with her brothers and sisters. A sassy woman who takes no disrespect from anyone, her hatred of the Empire is only outmatched by Kimi and Takeda. Was a close friend of Anari before her departure. Wears Mandalorian Armor w/ Jetpack and a dark purple color scheme. Her Mandalorian Vambraces are loaded with rapid-fire missiles for ending disputes quickly, but she has kept grappling hooks and retractable wrist blades in case of emergency. Her primary weapons are a pair of DC-17 blasters strapped to her hips. She is a 5’8 flying banshee of destruction and mayhem. [img]https://puu.sh/FHLH1/22229ad33f.jpg[/img][/hider] [hider=Jaxon Rook][color=fff79a][b]Jaxon Rook[/b][/color] – One of the surviving members of Clan Rook, Jaxon is a firm believer that might makes right. The strongest among them should lead the charge in retaking Mandalore, a task he believes himself perfect for. At an imposing height of 6’3 and a wide, muscular frame to match, his size alone is often enough of a deterrent for would-be challengers who wish to test their luck against him or his friends. Wears Mandalorian Armor w/ Jetpack with a navy-blue and silver color scheme and wields a Z-6 Rotary Blaster in combat. As well as the standard armament for Mandalorian Vambraces, he carries a miniature shield generator around his waist that allows him to absorb copious amounts of blaster fire for a short time before fizzling out. His gauntlets can generate an electric charge similar to a stun baton, effectively crippling adversaries with more than just a savage right hook. His physical strength allows him to grapple with the strongest of enemies. Try him.
