Throughout history one group of warriors have inspired fear beyond levels most can comprehend. Empires raise and fall about them, a history spanning thousands of years and yet the sands of time have not taken them. When they come be it in small groups or large hordes those caught in their path quake in their boots. They descend down upon planets from the heavens above with the fury of krayt dragon, in the heat of the battle they become the fearless avatars of war and conquest. Entire cities and years of culture destroyed in mere hours, priceless artifacts and brilliant silks destroyed and rendered to ash by either vibroblade or blaster. Those souls left to defend these cities were cut down whether they stood and fought, or ran for their lives. They were hunted down as prey through the streets, alleys, through buildings and in the sky. The inevitable end of a prey in the hunt to die at the hands of the hunter. And when it was all over, and the city that they had laid siege to stands in ruins... they leave just as they had came. They leave behind smoldering ruins and streets still ankle high with congealing blood. These warriors bonded together by a culture forged in the flames of combat are known in their language as the Mando'ade, the children of Mandalore. To the rest of the world they are known as the Mandalorians.

The Republic is like a stuck bantha; it lays bleeding on the ground as the predators begin to swarm to harvest on its corpse. Over a hundred years of corruption, greed and insolence has left the republic weak. Barely able to stand on its two feet, to keep order in the whole galaxy was unthinkable. It was only a matter of time before someone deiced that it was time to put them out of their misery. That someone would be a Taung whose title would send memories of fear and destruction through the galaxy for years to come, they called him Mandalore the Ultimate. This new leader was not just a skilled warrior, no he was charismatic and very knowledgeable of the ways of the galaxy. Under his rule warriors of all species and all backgrounds flocked to his call and underneath him he christened a new generation of Mandalorians known as the Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders. Tired of their failures in the Great Sith War, they put aside their old nomadic raider tradition, and instead adopted a new more modern way of discipline and tactics. And little did the greater galaxy know the trouble that was ahead of them. As the Mandalorians no longer destroyed cities and planets, they conquered them and they did it with an iron fist.

Mandalore the Ultimate's prowess as a warrior was only matched by his aspirations and desires. If he was to be forever remembered by the annals of history he would have to kill the greatest foe of them all, the Galactic Republic. This desire was easily manipulated by outside forces and so a new crusade would begin, a new war was to be had and the Republic would fall. Thus began the Mandalorian Wars, a period of 16 years from 3976 BBY to 3960 BBY in which a mere two decades after the Great Sith War the galaxy was once again thrown into darkness and conflict. One side the Mandalorian's the torch bears intent to burn away the decay of the Republic and reforge the galaxy ad those that would stand against them those that desperately wanted to preserve the old ways. It will be a time that will give birth to heroes, villains and even grander stories all forged in the crucible of war.

Our story begins in the year of 3962 BBY in a period of time that would be known as the Mandalorian Triumph. The Neo-Crusader under Mandalore the Ultimate's orders easily crushed the resistance that was put up against them in the Outer Rim. Numerous planets fell to the warriors pounded into the ground until all resistance lay silent: Althir, Cathar, Vanquo, Serroco, Jebble, Taris, and more none where spared from their wrath. Following these easy victories it was deiced that it was time to strike at the heart of the Republic, if the war was to end in Mandalorian victory than the core worlds had to fall. Thus a two prong attack was organized to force their way into the Core Worlds and thus the offensive began. The Mandalorian Triumph would be the last Mandalorian push into Republic controlled space, they would reach no further. They did not know it but in a way they were composing their last great epic before their eyes. Though they did not think of this they only thought of an old saying. Ib'tuur jatne tuur ash'ad kyr'amur, Today is a good day for someone else to die...


Welcome to Brothers All, as you may have guessed this is a story about Mandolorians. This idea came into fruition rather recently as I had just done another run through KOTOR I & II and remembered how much I loved Canderous Ordo, the must bitchin Mandalorian Mercenary turned Mandalore in the galaxy. So while listening to him recite his war stories, I realized that may be a pretty cool RP and so here we are. Our characters will be shock troopers as part of the greater Neo-Crusader Force, usually the first in and last out when it came to planet side engagements. This position is one filled with great honor and yet at the same time near suicidal at best most of the time. Sent in before the main invasion force to soften up the defenses and clear away landing zones they are some of the best the Mandolorins have to offer. They are made up of warriors of different ages, species and background but they are all good at what they do.

The story itself concerns itself not just with the conflicts in a period of some of the most brutal fighting of the war, but dances about with some philosophical themes as well. The main idea that pumps through the RP though is of course this idea of Honor. Honor, be it the loss of honor, the gain of honor, the meaning of it and how it effects people. The Mandalorian way of life is built around honor, they fight to better themselves and to achieve honor and glory, warriors of all kinds flock to them why? For a chance at glory, a chance at honor. They fight the republic because they do not have honor, to them the republic is weak and old. The overarching "bubble" of honor permeates its way into our characters as well as you see fit. Yet themes of death, loss, glory, pride they all will come into play as well. But you know explosions and combat will be a big part as well.

There is a plot and a way forward that will be effected by player actions to certain key activates, activating and closing certain "branches" you may call them. Though how the story begins is already set forward. The team is getting drop in at Eres III to clear a path forward into the Core Worlds. We do not know much about the battle except that the fighting was heavy and the devastation was very high, which kind of gives us a blank check to start making our own little story. To Eres III and beyond who knows where this story is going to take us? Who knows. What I do know is that it is going to be one hell of a ride.

BIOGRAPHY
Prudii's father died during a job when he was 7. At age 15 his mother died in a robbery gone wrong at the cantina she worked at on Mandalore. He was now left with no family and nothing to do here. He stole a ship from the MandaMotors shipyard, and left Mandalore looking for mercenary work. He helplessly squandered four years doing cheap gigs robbing, killing, and smuggling until at age 17 he began to take higher profile jobs. . Finally coming out of the drunken stupor at age 21 he decided to hone his skills and become a hunter that could hunt other hunters.

Prudii began working for the highest bidder, assassinating, hunting, killing, stealing, repurposing, the likes. During this time he had extensive dealings with the Hutt Cartel. During this time he became extensive in Hutteese.

Prudii currently does mercenary, high skill work for the highest bidder.

PERSONALITY
Prudii, the real Prudii - deep inside the layers, the walls, the shell and the armor is a mystery wrapped in an enigma. Suffering a traumatic experience early in life with the loss of his parents he spent much of his teenage life in ever present emotional pain. This lead to coping mechanisms to prevent pain from occurring again, and to keep him safe. He developed the personality that he displays to the rest of the world. A cold, callused individual with little care for anyone or anything. He keeps most things pent up, which causes him to have a smoldering hate and short temper most of the time. He is rash, brash, rude, and abrasive to most of those around him. He knows his limits however. He knows authorities he can push it with, and authorities he cannot. Hutts however, he shows due respect to. Prudii understands and respects the way that the Cartel operates. Soldiers and mercenaries trade their pride and respect to the Hutt in exchange for a sliver of their fortune. As long as he gets paid Prudii is okay with that. He holds people that fuck up, especially make stupid fuck ups, in low regard. He is belligerent and intolerable of error and mistake. He holds no respect for business people and politicians. The lack of respect he holds for many is not often shown however. Prudii is good at masking his feelings and opinions outwardly to show respect so he can get what he needs. He is very unforgiving, though he again, might not show this. His revenge or punishment can come as long as decades after the offense. Prudii is slow to let people in through the layers of aggression, callousness into the damaged inside, but it has been known to happen. This is very dangerous for him though, because should someone that he has chosen to let in leave, hurt him, or die, it is devestating to him. Prudii has been known to deal with depression and thoughts of suicide at points in his life, but this is unknown to any.

I'll work on something though I feel I'll regret my RP load quite quickly.

I'll get cracking on my character. I'll have him up as soon as I can.

Awesome to see the OOC up.

I'll have my CS up tomorrow, considering I am in the GMT +1 timezone, it's kinda late here and I need to be in college tomorrow I wont be able to get it up today.

Sorry about that. :/

Anyway, will have it done by tomorrow or at the very latest the day after that. :)

I am very interested in playing. Will put up a character idea as soon as i am through with work for the day

Name: Russ Oranus
Age:24
Gender:Male
Species:Human
Combat role: Close Combat Specialist
Years in Mynock Squad: Four

Appearance: Russ stands at just under six feet and weighs in at a feather under one hundred kilograms. He is built for both speed and power favoring neither over the other instead using them to bolster the other where one alone would fail. His muscles are taut from years of hard training under a harsh drill instructor. He has pale red hair, just slightly to dark to call strawberry blonde. His hair is buzzed short along the sides of his head and cropped closely to his skull along the top. His eyes are startling pools of blue and often glitter with humor, as morbid as it may be at times. A dark still healing jagged scar sits under his fight eye and when he removes his armor there are obvious signs of past battles and reckless charges. The marred flesh telling of not so near miss blaster bolts and vibroswords.

I would love to join if you would have me!

I would love to join if you would have me!

At our current juncture we have but one character sheet that I have not had a chance to look over yet. Currently we have seven people plus me that we have expressing interest, a little bigger than expected but depending on CS quality you never know everybody might get accepted, I don't turn down good characters, don't you know. So I would love to accept everybody that has expressed interest but to do that everybody's CS must be smashing! So sir if you can produce a smashing CS I'll be more than happy to have which goes for everybody else don't worry about spots filling up worry about impressing me. :D

CS posted

Did anybody ask for a Herglic demolitions expert?

If not there's always the war torn Zabrak who doesn't know what to do with his life anymore.

Note to self: Madclaw-turned-Mandalorian. Every squad needs a Wookiee, right?

So many possibilities.

Starting work on a character soonzies.

Only post here once character sheet has received GM approval

@theoncomingstorm
If you could just remove your sheet for the character tab for a moment please? Because I haven't approved anybody yet and I felt I expressed myself very clearly in the character tab. Reading is important don't you know.

@seriousarmour
Thanks for making those edits we went over. :D Everything looks fine now and you can post to the character tab at your desire.

@Sloth
True, true all the possibilities whatever floats your boat really will work. Though a Wookiee would be rather crazy awesome. XD

@Gowi
Alright take your time, no real issues here we are all busy people.

I'm sorry I totally missed that bit. I assumed you wanted them all over there. It won't let me delete it, but are there any edits you'd like me to make?

@theoncomingstorm
Yeah you can just edit it to say N/A for now. And now it is time for some comments, while I have a second to spare.

First and foremost the character template for this RP is designed in the way it is to avoid clutter and keep things nice and simple. My first issue is you did not follow this character template which speaks to problems that may or may not come up in the future based on following rules and such I don't know yet. I understand you were adapting another sheet which also has some problems I prefer all the characters in the RP to be fresh, but that does not excuse you from the template.

The other big problem right in the front is his armor. The Jango Fett style of armor was not really seen in Mandalorian Culture until about a millennial after the Mandolorian wars. Their armor instead looked like this.http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/File:MandalorianArmorKotORCG.jpg For those of you unfamiliar shock trooper armor is the one all the way on the left. The Jango Fett style that inspired the clones evolved from the shock trooper armor over hundreds of years later. So he really wouldn't have that type of armor yet for it would be a blatant disregard for history.

Appearance just listing all the parts of the appearance in a list doesn't work I'm sorry, it is supposed to be in a well written paragraph for a reason, so I can see how you write. Another reason why you are supposed to follow the template.

Also he can't be a merc either, Mandalorians didn't hire mercs during the wars because it was their war hiring mercs would be going against their entire culture. If you were fighting with the Mandalorians you were a Mandalorian and nothing else. It was your job, your life and your duty it was there everything.

1.5 Million Credits is another big issue here. The Mandalorians during this time as I should say the Neo-Crusader didn't have salaries or anything like that everything was basically provided for them because they were a military and funded and fueled like one. They didn't have to worry about buying things because they took what they needed.

Attributes and abilities are all wrong as well. Did you even look at the character template or my CS? It is there to follow that as an example so you do it right. You list an ability and its explanation of why they have the ability and how it useful and then go down a list in order of potency. You don't fill out bars upon which don't really tell us much about the skills or even how skillful they are based on them.

You have problems in your Equipment as well most of the weapons you listed at least the primary ones did not yet exist. Most being from the rise of the empire era, meaning most were seen in the clone wars first. I provided in the useful links a list of all the weapons that existed back then so that they would be correct and we do not have this problem. Also with your armor firstly you don't have to least all the pieces and secondly as already stated Mando armor was standardized for the most part so unless there is something special about it like how @seriousarmour is experimental suit (which can be done since they are elites and get some of the new toys from the warforge) made of more lightweight material so putting protection aside for mobility yet keeping the same standard appearance (which is very important part of the Neo-Crusader way, the appearance helps unify them) there is no need to list it.

Next... transportation... I'm just going to ignore that in its entirety because A it is not part of template and B no it is just stupid they can't have their own ships.

All the miscellaneous stuff can go under Equipment once again to keep clutter down. Also data phones don't exist anyway they have comm links built into their suits so that makes those two items redundant to even list. No need to list a jetpack because they all have jetpacks like it was listed in the CS tab if you read it.

Biography... Really that is all you are going to say? Do you see how short that is and how I would have a problem with it? Do you see how it doesn't give the character any substance and doesn't go into detail and not really relent to this story or the Mandalorian Wars or how he joined the squad or anything that I asked for in the CS. Honestly its kind of crap.

Finally personality, sure that is fine that is the only thing that is okay.

---

I'm sorry to say this but your sheet as I've kind of pointed out it is filled with holes and problems. This is an Advanced Role play and my standards are not low. What you gave me belongs more in casual or free. Maybe if you read the rules and didn't automatically post in the character tab, or showed any kind of effort at all to work it to the template provide I would go easier on you and try and help. But you didn't, so in its current form all I'm going say is either rewrite it and impress me or go it is that simple. You are more than welcome to rewrite and try again but in its current form I cannot accept it.

Actually, I just read through your whole post, you're quite condescending and rude. I'm out of this roleplay. I can do advanced writing, but I can't deal with someone who acts like a dick.

Ok, sorry for the wait. Been busy. I hope he's ok. I'll admit his backstory is kinda weak, and not really my favorite part about him so I might end up editing it. I was kinda drawing a blank for some of it. Let me know if I need to change anything else.

@CutUp
Oh thank Mother Mary and all things holy in this world of ours, a character sheet that actually follows the template! I almost lost hope in humanity for a moment there. Look at it! It is pretty and everything is where it needs to be, like how I designed it! You guys gotta understand, I don't ask for a lot here but I do at least ask for you to follow directions, read, have an understand of the English language above par, and at least put in a smudge of effort... but apparently that is too hard for some people. Anyway I'll read it over in just a tad to make sure everything is in order, but you have already gotten major bonus points from me for actually reading and following directions.

Stop acting like a fucking dick. This seems like a fun roleplay, but dear God my CS needed work and you've gotta act like a dick.

If you think that is dickish, I have some GM's to introduce you to. Haha.
