He enjoys life to the fullest whenever he can, whether it be flying a ship, partying at a bar, or bringing in a bounty. Needless to say, he is extremely extroverted and very friendly, even with his foes. If there is a friend to be made, Maisha will make them for no reason except for getting to know a new face. This ability to make friends has inadvertently helped save his life many times, but his tendency to try and make friends has also put his life at risk just as many times. When faced with conflict, his first instinct is to try to talk his way out of it with his charisma and intellect, but when push comes to shove, he will kill, even if he hates it. To some, his personality might be seen as overbearing, as he can't stand silence and always pokes fun at people. To others, they wonder why he is even a bounty hunter or a Mandalorian if he doesn't like killing, and truth be told, Maisha wonders that sometimes as well. He wants to avoid all this violence, but he also wants to honor his parents and make sure that people don't take the lives of any more family members. That's the reason why he joined Mandalore Restored, to build a Mandalore strong enough where its people can choose whether they want to be warriors or not. [hr][color=13dddd][u][b]Equipment[/b][/u][/color] [b]Weapon #1 — "Charred Hand" CH-C2 Blaster Carbine ([url=https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/692991109382668308/908947966621024256/iu.png?width=685&height=457]Image[/url])[/b] [hider](An MP5 as above without the magazine and with a GP-25 grenade launcher taking up the space from the end of the barrel to the magazine well) This rapid-fire blaster carbine is ideal for close combat, with its high rate of fire and compact size. The greatest flaws of this weapon are the low power of each individual bolt, risk of overheating, and short-range. The underslung grenade launcher compensates for these weaknesses somewhat by firing incendiary grenades that are able to engage targets behind cover and over long distances, as well as making most armor useless.[/hider] [b]Weapon #2 — "Blue Inferno" Plasmathrower Carbine ([url=http://www.imfdb.org/images/e/eb/RMN-50.jpg]Image[/url])[/b] [hider](A Naiman RMN-50 Hand Mortar with the bolt handle removed and a cylindrical fuel canister plugging into where the magazine should be. A horizontal handle is attached midway down the barrel. A hose runs from the bolt to Maisha's backpack) The Blue Inferno is a compact weapon that spews jets of plasma to incinerate its targets or act as a large plasma torch. Being plasma-based, it can still be used in a vacuum and melt through metal plating. The main downside is lack of fuel, with the integrated fuel canister only offering several seconds of sustained plasma jets or a minute of precision cutting. A detachable hose allows Maisha to draw fuel from his backpack to extend the operational time of this incendiary weapon.[/hider] [b]Weapon #3 — Blastech PXL-15 Heavy Blaster Pistol x2 ([url=https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/692991109382668308/908954613900779550/keltec-PLR16-KELTC-YMT2LHBU.png]Image[/url])[/b] [hider](A pair of PLR-16 as above with the Picatinny rails removed and an AK-style scope mount holding mid-ranged scopes. The pistol grips are elaborately carved out of wood.) The PXL-15 Heavy Blaster Pistol hits hard enough to penetrate durasteel armor, but its sluggish rate of fire necessitates the use of two keep up a consistent stream of blaster fire. The overpowered bolds also expend power packs and tibanna gas cartridges extremely quickly, often leading to a reload in the middle of a firefight.[/hider] [b]Weapon #4 — Multitool Vibro-Axe ([url=https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/692991109382668308/908957450877685821/iu.png?width=828&height=457]Image[/url])[/b] [hider](The above tomahawk with all logos stripped. The nook where the handle starts to curve into the axe head is hexagonal as if it were a monkey wrench. At the bottom of the handle is a small cylinder that resembles the end of a socket wrench. The read end of the head is flared out like a hammerhead.) This beskar axe comes with a vibrogenerator that allows it to cut through most materials like butter and even scratch beskar. Integrated into this ax are a hydrospanner, a manual wrench, a pry bar, and a hammerhead, making it just as useful in the hanger as it is for taking bounties.[/hider] [b]Weapon #5 — Incendiary Detonators[/b] [hider]Each one of these grenades explodes after a 5-second timer, covering a 5m radius with a slow-burning gel that maintains a strong flame for about a minute. Maisha carries no small amount of these for area denial and for flushing out targets.[/hider] [hr][b]Equipment #1 — Beskar'gam ([url=https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/692991109382668308/908971375648202832/20211112_224141.jpg?width=343&height=457]Rough Reference by Qiz[/url])[/b] No Mandalorian is complete without a suit of Mandalorian armor. Maisha's is a combination of the heavy and medium patterns of Mandalorian armor with a predominantly black color scheme combined with and tribal designs in fluorescent cyan paint. Maisha has also taken heavy inspiration from the armor of clone troopers when designing his beskar'gam. [hider=Detailed Description of Armor] [b]Breastplate[/b]: The heavy breastplate comes with chest-mounted a life-support system and a single hose that runs along the right shoulder to attach to the right side of the helmet. Along the left and right edges of the breastplate are bandoliers holding incendiary grenades. [b]Pauldrons[/b]: The pauldrons are relatively simple (resembling Din Djarin’s), but are covered with a double-sided clone trooper pauldron painted with tribal designs in the vague shape of broad shoulders. Animal teeth and claws painted cyan line the edge of the clone pauldrons. [b]Leg Armor[/b]: The greaves and knee pads are in the style of ARC trooper armor while the cuisse resembles that of medium Mandalorian armor, offering a greater degree of movement. A kama hangs down his thighs, decorated with plenty of tribal designs and holding a sidearm holster on each side. [b]Gauntlets[/b]: Both gauntlets are standard Mandalorian vambrances that carry a small arsenal of weapons and allow for remote control of Maisha's beskar'gam and ship. The left gauntlet comes with a flamethrower, fibercord whip, and a micromissle launcher, while the right gauntlet comes with a flamethrower, a bola launcher, and a sleep dart launcher. [b]Helmet[/b]: The helmet is based on the Post-Imperial pattern, with the noticeable modification of respirators in the style of the Phase II clone helmet and a life support hose that attaches to the back of the helmet. A pair of macrobinoculars are also install to allow for visibility in the smoke-filled environments Maisha creates. [b]Backpack[/b]: Maisha wears no jetpack, and instead, opts for a Republic utility pack filled with munitions and two cylindrical beskar plasma tanks, attached to the top and the bottom of the pack with a hose that runs to his plasmathrower. [b]Boots[/b]: Maisha's boots are flame retardant and beskar-toed with two jets are attached to the outside of each boot. These allows Maisha to fly without a jetpack and can even be used as impromptu flamethrowers.[/hider] [hr][b]Vehicle #1 — Charred Wing ([url=https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/692991109382668308/908994771555594280/Charred_Wing.png]Standard[/url]/[url=https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/692991109382668308/908994775435337738/Charred_Wing_Cargo.png]Cargo Configuration[/url])[/b] [hider]The Charred Wing is a custom-built medium freighter built by Clan Arbintz and MandalMotors that serves as Saracoa Ordo's command ship. However, being designed and piloted by Maisha, it is tailored to his needds. It comes very heavily armed with six dual laser cannon turrets, two turbolaser batteries, four concussion missile tubes, and a tractor beam. In terms of defense, it also doesn't disappoint, with beskar plating, heavy deflector shields, electronic countermeasures, and communications jammers. Because Maisha was a smuggler for years, he also included two retractable cargo crain arms that haul up to 30 cargo containers or drive a train of bulk containers. The ship runs optimally with 2 pilots, 2 assistant gunners, and 6 turret gunners, but most of these systems canbe slaved to the pilot's controls or controlled by the ship's computer if absolutely necessary. [/hider] [color=13dddd][u][b]Attributes[/b][/u][/color] Maisha has no special abilities, but he is still a Mandalorian with a life time of training and experience under his belt. He is an average warrior as far as Mandalrians go, but he more than makes up for this with his piloting skills. He is extremely skilled at ship-to-ship combat, but often takes too many risks, almost always resulting in the damage or destruction of his rides. It is fortunate that he has extensive knowledge in repairing ships, otherwise, he would be paying more for repairs than he earned from jobs. [hr][color=13dddd][u][b]Biography[/b][/u][/color] Maisha was born on Coruscant (18 BBY) as the first child to a pair of Mandalorians who helped train Clone Troopers before the Clone Wars on Kamino. His father was a skilled mechanic and his mother a skilled pilot, and they put their skills to use as private shippers and bodyguards to make a legitimate living so that their children could be raised properly. Though he grew up on Coruscant during the early days of the Galactic Empire, the Great Purge led to the death of Maisha’s mother, forcing (12 BBY) Maisha, his sister, and father to relocate to the Outer Rim. There, they were cargo haulers and occasionally bounty hunters, if the job was easy. By the time Maisha was of age (5 BBY), he proved himself a brilliant pilot like his mother, even if he was a bit reckless. He was the primary pilot of the Arbintz Clan, while his father and sister did the repairs and bounties. As an adult (0 ABY), Maisha purchased his own ship and began running bounties and shipping cargo on Imperial lanes by himself, taking advantage of the instability caused by the Rebellion to play both sides. He set himself apart from the competition as an extremely skilled pilot but also earned infamy for pushing his ships to the breaking point. Most of the credits earned from bounties went to repairing his ships or purchasing a new ship entirely. One of the mechanics he frequented was Lydia Kuduq, a New Mandalorian engineer, and before long, the two fell in love. The two married (2 ABY), and soon after, Maisha convinced Lydia to become a proper Mandalorian. He personally trained Lydia in the ways of traditional Mandalorians, but when it came to the final test, he allowed his father to oversee Lydia’s verd’goten to keep his biases from getting in the way of a proper test. To celebrate Lydia’s inauguration, Maisha purchased a small spaceport on Bonagal-31 (3 ABY) for the two to operate out of. The two soon came into conflict with the ultra-traditional Mandalorian Clan Kallune and their leader, Larsander Kallune. Maisha, his father, and his companions engaged in skirmishes for over a year until Mandalore Restored arrived to restore order (4 ABY). The leader of the Mandalorian faction, Saracoa Ordo, managed to convince both sides to join him in his quest to restore the glory of Mandalore after centuries of false peace and decades of exploitation by the Galatic Empire. As an act of good faith, Saracoa made Larsander his lieutenant and granted Maisha whatever he required to build a new ship. Maisha and Lydia jumped on the opportunity to construct a ship that could keep up with Maisha’s abilities, and the end result was the Charred Wing. From then on, his ship served as the vanguard of Mandalore Restored, as Saracoa united the scattered Clans across the Galaxy. [hr][color=13dddd][u][b]Fun Facts[/b][/u][/color] - Maisha has a deep-seated distrust of jetpacks and the usage of capes while flying. - Unlike most other Mandalorians, he is sympathetic towards the Republic, the Jedi, [i]and[/i] the Galatic Empire, which has earned him no small amount of ridicule. - He looks up to Boba Fett and wants to confirm the rumors that the legendary bounty hunter was a clone himself.
