Underneath his armor, he has tan skin and brown eyes. His hair is a dark brown, but he typically keeps it shaved to a very light stubble. He sports a large scar across the top of his head, the result of a nasty fall on Wayland that nearly split his skull open. His armor is remarkably pristine, a gift for graduation from the Commando program. It sports a light blue paint job, with white accents (an homage, and intentional reversal, of Jango Fett's armor coloration). To commemorate Crossfire's position in Mynock squad, his helmet is colored with a rough scar-like iconography of a winged mynock. To further accessorize the armor, and distinguish his role as a 2nd Lieutenant, Crossfire painted two scar-like lines across the breastplate. Crossfire is almost always seen sporting his armor and weaponry, and carries himself in a rather stiff and upright position at all times. [/indent] [color=00aeef][b]|[u] {Equipment and Personal Belongings} [/u]|[/b][/color] [indent]Crossfire, to serve his duties as a Clone Commando, has a Kom'rk-Class Starfighter Transport requisitioned for his use while on assignment. Half of the passenger space has been removed and replaced with a workstation to repair/restock his armor and to allow space for a Unidcur-class jumpspeeder, which Crossfire typically uses for transportation planet-side on Mandalore. Crossfire has also been requisitioned the following personal arms and weapons: [list][*]2 DC-17s Side Arm Blasters [*]A DC-17M Interchangeable Weapons System (With a Blaster Rifle and Sniper Rifle Configuration setting)[/list] The following gear is hard-integrated into his Beskar Commando armor, or is otherwise always on hand for use: [list][*]Magnetic Boots [*]Whipcord (Right Gauntlet) [*]Vibroblade Punch Dagger (Right Gauntlet) [*]Laser Cutter (Left Gauntlet) [*]Jetpack [*]Ascension Cable (Mounted to the DC-17m) [*]Long-Range Commlink (Helmet-integrated) [*]Holoprojector (Stored on belt)[/list] Crossfire is also able to make use of the following ordinance, though in a limited quantity: [list][*]5 electrodarts (Right Gauntlet) [*]1 anti-vehicle homing rocket (Jetpack) [*]3 "Droid Poppers" [*]3 Fragmentation Grenades [*]2 Detonation Packs [/list] [hider=Future Gear Upgrades] [list][*]Shield Projector (Left Gauntlet) [*]Flamethrower with limited fuel tank (Left Gauntlet) [*]1 Thermal Detonator [*]Whistling Birds, 1 use against a number of close range targets (Right Gauntlet)[/list] [/hider] [/indent] [color=00aeef][b]|[u] {Physical Abilities} [/u]|[/b][/color] [indent][u]Army of One:[/u] Clone Commandos are trained to serve in the toughest environments and survive on their own, with no promise of backup, support, or rescue. As a result, Crossfire is trained to deal with large swathes of enemies single-handedly. He is highly trained in the use of all of his equipment, specifically: blasters, punch daggers, personal shields, explosives, and jetpacks. He knows how to use his equipment in the efficiently, understands what part of his armor are highly resistant to blaster fire and lightsabers, and knows how to vary his tactics in urban and wilderness environments. He is perhaps more proficient at ground combat than your typical Mandalorian, but still has a lot to learn when it comes to the art of dueling and dealing with singular, overwhelmingly strong foes. [u]Starship Piloting:[/u] Crossfire has been trained in the art of piloting starships, especially the highly-maneuverable Fang Starfighter. He isn't top of his class in flight training, but is more proficient than your average TIE pilot or Droid starfighter. He can hold his own in a dogfight. [u]Technically Proficient:[/u] All Clone Commandos receive basic technical training. Part of their education is in basic starship maintenance and repair and how to do repair and restocking of his armor components. This also extends to basic knowledge of how to reboot and use all manners of communication equipment to transmit messages back to their superiors. Explosives and sabotage training has also aided the Clones in knowing how to arm/disarm various explosives, and which wires to cut at a door's junction box to get it to open. However, in these later cases, Clone Commandos always operate under one basic trick: if what you are doing doesn't work, try shooting it. No living clone has complained about this tactic thus far.[/indent] [color=00aeef][b]|[u] {Limitations} [/u]|[/b][/color] [indent][u]Ammunition:[/u] About half of Crossfire's equipment suffers from a significant drawback: He only has so much of it available to use on each mission. Until he is properly resupplied, or manages to salvage a work-around, Crossfire is only able to use his most powerful equipment a handful of times each assignment. He has to keep careful track of his equipment to make sure he doesn't run out, and hope the Army replenishes his supplies when he's back home safe and sound. [u]Heavy Ordinance:[/u] The downside to being the equivalent of a walking tank is that Crossfire has the subtlety and mobility of one as well. He is not fast enough to keep up with more agile combatants, cannot move incredibly fast across a battlefield, and is as proficient in sneaking around as a Reek in a dish store. [u]Another Happy Landing:[/u] While Crossfire does have a respect for his personal weapons and armor... he is a man born to destroy. He has crashed several small transports, done irreparable damage to the structural support of several training facilities, and has blown himself up with liberal use of explosives about four times on record. If you loan Crossfire something, the odds it will be returned in one piece are minimal. [u]Force Susceptible:[/u] Like many clones and standard soldiers, Crossfire is susceptible to Jedi mind tricks and other force abilities, and has very little resistance or training in dealing with most force powers. [/indent] [hr] [color=00aeef][b]|[u] {Personality} [/u]|[/b][/color] [indent]There's an old Clone saying: Good soldiers follow orders. For Crossfire, that is a personal motto. While not as dogmatic as some clones are for following all protocols, Crossfire is good at following a simple set of instructions and seeing them through in the most efficient means possible. He is an attack dog of sorts, and has been known to throw himself into harm's way to do as he is told. This reckless disregard has a few root causes. The first is his belief in the Mandalorian Republic and its cause. He has seen and experienced the warmth, welcome, and respect of the culture he has found himself in. The second is in his trust in his brothers: clones have each other's backs, no matter what. Hearing stories of his predecessors in the old war, and knowing the cost and sacrifice that led to his very existence means Crossfire has incredible faith in those he has trained alongside no matter what. The third reason is perhaps the most morbid: at the end of the day, he is expendable. He is not as expendable as the cheap droids the CIS has deployed, but he does see himself as replaceable by the next generation of clone soldiers should he fail to return home alive. This all being said, Crossfire is not a soulless killing machine. He is not on the same caliber as some of his more chatty and comedic brothers, but he is still bound by the same gallows humor that has plagued all clones since the dawn of the Clone Wars. He takes pleasure in the thrill of combat, and has a deep respect for his predecessors and his brothers (both clone soldiers and any serving in the Mandalorian Banners). When interacting in the Galaxy at Large, Crossfire tends to keep things rather professional and curt. He isn't one to wax philosophical about the nature of the universe, but will often humor and listen to the ramblings of others. The only topics that Crossfire seems to be truly engaged in regard warfare and weapons. It has been said that weapons are part of a Mandalorian's religion: for Crossfire, this is true. He has a ritual of carefully cleaning and inspecting his weapons and gear daily, and his morning routine of putting on his armor is almost meditative and slow. [/indent] [color=00aeef][b]|[u] {Place of Origin} [/u]|[/b][/color] [indent]Mandalore - He was created and raised there. With the exception of off-world training, he has lived most of his life on Mandalore.[/indent] [color=00aeef][b]|[u] {Background} [/u]|[/b][/color] [indent] MCT-07-2728 was created as part of the seventh batch of new clones following Operation Stormcaller. He was trained and raised in the custom of his forebears, accelerated through his earliest years and run through a rapid education system. For the first eight years of his life, MCT-07-2728 was taught the basics of astronavigation, military tactics, Republic and Mandalorian history, and the basic and Mando'a languages. After about 8 years of academic and cultural instruction, MCT-07-2728 was put through traditional cadet training. Even from this young age, it became clear that he was the kind of soldier who would rush into the thick of combat to clear an objective. After ending up getting knocked down and stunned from friendly fire due to rushing into enemy territory before his fireteam was ready, he quickly earned the nickname "Crossfire" as a playful jest. After his fifth failed simulation in a row for the same reason, Crossfire was singled out and spoken to by his training officer. When asked why he thought they were failing, his simple response was [color=00aeef]"My brothers can't keep up, sir."[/color] After a lot of grit and determination, and some compromises on Crossfire's side of things, his training squad was finally able to graduate as cadets and join the ranks of the Fett Clan as soldiers. However, for Crossfire, his training wasn't complete. On his graduation day, he was given a few offers: several of the Mandalorian banners wanted him... but in particular, some older members of the Fett Clan wanted to give Crossfire more specialized training. Crossfire weighed his options, and chose the latter of these options. He was individually trained under the "Mynock Squadron," an independent outfit of the Fett Clan founded by surviving Clone Commandoes from the Grand Army of the Republic. Here, Crossfire trained brutally for 3 years as a lone soldier. He crawled his way through the mud avoiding live artillery fire in the jungles of Dxun, fought through a simulated droid ambush on Taris, and free-climb the mountains of Wayland while getting buzzed by an LAAT. He survived all 3 years of training, and came out on the other end a true commando. For the past 2 years, Crossfire has yet to see any actual combat. Some of the older members of Mynock Squadron have been selected and hired to perform highly stressful jobs, and they reassure Crossfire that one day his number will be called. In the meantime, Crossfire has been rotating guard-duty at various high-traffic and high-value locations in Keldabe. With the coming festivities and influx of foreign dignitaries in recent weeks, Crossfire has been serving long shifts keeping an eye and making sure things stay peaceful... or as peaceful as Mandalorian festivities can be. With so many important factions and individuals coming together on Mandalore... Crossfire's number is bound to be call, and he is more than ready to answer it. [/indent][/hider]
