Name: Choruk Reem
Species: Human
Gender: Male
Age: 34
Homeworld: Mandalore
Appearance: 2 meters tall, gold-brown hair, blue eyes, light skin, shriek-hawk tattoo on back, full armed sleeves
Personality: Cocky, sarcastic, rude, and known to shoot first and ask questions later--Choruk Reem is a highly motivated warrior, experienced pilot, and charming soldier of fortune. Devoting his time and energy into his Clan, family, and namadic culture, Reem is professional and honest man. Good in a fight, Reem works to get the job done often bounding headfirst into battle, quick on his feet, and reacting to danger, Reem is swift. He doesn't trust the Jedi and the Republic anymore than he could throw a Hutt. His flirtatious personality gets him in trouble, as well as his mouth when it comes to speaking his mind, though Reem is devoted to his wife and sacrifice anything for his family. He also had an affinity for drinking and gambling. He often boasted of his achievements he made and is a very competitive individual. He was the starter and finisher of many fights, not afraid to jump into fights he didn't start. Reem is quite the mechanic, having made countless modifications to the Wyrry's modified freighter, the Ryyk. His ability to think up inventive and often extremely unorthodox solutions to problems on the fly proved to be a constant source of frustration to all enemies he encountered (and often his friends). He is, however, a man with insecurities as well. He was overprotective of his ship, partner, and family.

Bio: Choruk (meaning "stone" in Mando'a), grew up on Mandalore in the territory of clan Reem. He lived and was trained by his family in Keep Reem. His father was a Mandalorian martial instructor/ ex-gladiator and a veteran of the Mandalorian military. His mother was a skilled duelist and ex-jedi knight. His "uncle" Rawr (full name Rawrawaraak) was a wookiee warrior, and one of the most skilled agents in the galaxy, that owed a life debt to his father, who then trained the wookiee to become a Mandalorian and accepted the Mando way of life. Choruk was trained by his family and became a great warrior andhunter, but, like most Reems, he was a fighter. He bested all his mates in fighting matches. He took on anyone who dared to stand in front of him. He challenged any mando to sparring matches and fights. He loved a challenge and proved himself to be a great warrior. At 17 he traveled around the galaxy with his best friend Wyrry (short for Wyrryshrook) a young female wookiee who supported her father's life debt to the Reems by becoming a mando and befriending Choruk. They would engage in fight clubs and arenas across many worlds. Choruk also learned many different fighting styles at this time. Choruk and Wyrry would also hunt for sport in the dangerous jungles and forest on dozens of worlds. At 19, Choruk was given a Bes'uliik from his father and following his father's footsteps he served in Mandalore's defense forces. He was known for busting some of the most violent criminals on the planet. He became an officer at 23 years of age. Choruk fell in love with a stunningly attractive mandalorian female. Her name was Keena (fully Kihnaast). She was a tough, black haired mando and the best shot on Mandalore, debatably the galaxy. The two were quickly married. Reem bought some land and settled down in the forest of Mandalore. He continued to serve in the Defense. A year later, Reem was contacted by Wyrry who had become a famous Mando/wookiee bounty hunter and mercenary. She wanted Reem to help her track down a rouge jedi on Telos IV. Reem agreed but his wife argued against it. She wanted to come, but Choruk wouldn't allow his wife to be endangered after he found out she was pregnant. Choruk and Wyrry caught the jedi and split the reward, the two then became a well-known pair of mercenaries. The two mandos were an inseparable pair, traveling in Wyrry's modified light freighter, the Ryyk. As mercenaries for hire they did all sorts of tough work and odd jobs. Choruk captured the ex-Mandalorian and terrorist called Neran responsible for bombings on Coruscant and collected a fancy award from the Chancellor himself. Shortly after he broke into Republic Prison, Kiffex, Azurbani system to free a female Mandalorian, Vanna Ordo, and friend who needed assistance. Reem was granted pardon after providing the Jedi with intelligence on a cult of Sith, and with the help of Wyrry, Vanna, and Jedi allies defeated the cult led by a powerful trio of Sith Lords: Mortarious, Angron, and Balthnazaar.
After the fight with the Sith, Choruk spent time on Mandalore returning to military service so he could spend more time with his wife. He took commission as commander of a training regiment training of Mandalore's recruits in defense tactics. He reorganized the Mandalorion 6th Hunter Squad into an elite unit of warriors. He assisted in a joining Clans Reem and Fett build up strongholds on Mandalore, including the fortress city of Dral. Around this time he became Clan Leader of Reem. He used his authority to infiltrate the Jedi Temple, steal information, and break the criminal Neran from his cell. Reem restored Neran's honor and named him Dralshy'naak (Dral). Reem began orchestrating a plan to extend the Mandalorians power and influence in the galaxy, until the Republic tracked him down. A team of Jedi along with a Republic a officer confronted Choruk threatening to arrest him if he didn't accept an offer to which "he could not refuse." Although the Mandalorian and the Jedi had history they never saw eye to eye, and now they were going to arrest him for breaking into the Temple and stealing secret information, he had no choice but to accept the offer to aid the Republic.
They told him of they would pardon his crimes if he committed his skills and service to special group, called Taskforce Episilon 217. Choruk agreed, he had a family and he would be held responsible for clearing any "crimes" against the Jedi, as much as he hates to admit it, he always admired the peacekeepers of the Order, though never out loud anyway. Choruk had no idea what he was getting into.
