Xarthas
Xarthas. Clan Den, House Kryze.
| {Age} |25
| {Species} |Human
| {Gender} |Male
| {Force Sensitive/Alignment} |Yes - However he did not pass the initiate trials so did not follow the Path of the Jedi.
| {Appearance} |Under his helmet he is fair faced, black beard that while long is well maintained and tidy. He stands at around 5’11.
- Consular Class Cruiser Charger C70 Retrofit: Painted black and christened the Nightfury. ‘Liberated’ from a crash site on Concordia near his clans homestead. He repaired it with the help of his father and modified it. The engine and hyperdrives can now produce far more speed than previously capable making it the fastest of its class. This is at the sacrifice of an organised interior. With the fact modifications are continuously ongoing the interior of the ship is a mass of wiring and pipes.
- Armour: His armour is different than a typical Mandalorians. It is designed around a Clone Trooper Flight Suit with a life support system built into it. Only the helmet has any Beskar Alloy built into it, however it is not pure so not as strong as real Beskar Ore. On his Pauldron is the emblem of his clan.
- Westar 35 Blaster: He has a holster on his torso with a Westar 35 Pistol in it. The holster is designed in a way to let it be easily drawn while he is sitting in his pilot seat.
- ETA-Actis 2: The Nightfury has a makeshift hangar hollowed out of one of the sides, replacing the droid hold and one of the escape pod banks. His wrist device is tied into his R3 and his ETA. Allowing him to remote pilot it to his location
- R3-C4: A Black and Yellow R3 series astromech nicknamed ‘Chuckles’. While it has the processing power of a R3 series the personality matrix was broken and replaced with one from a R5, making it incredibly stubborn and cranky.
- Engineer: Xarthas is a skilled and well trained mechanic. Trained by his father Mar who was a renowned smuggler before the Paladin made the call for his people to return to Mandalore.
- Pilot: Xarthas is a trained pilot, his only gift from the Force being enhanced reflexes making him a more skilled pilot than others within his clan.
- Fighter: Having undergone the Verd’goten Xarthas is considered a competent fighter, however he is nothing near the class of most fighters from his homeworld.
Xarthas is too weak in the Force to be near anything like a Jedi. He only benefits from enhanced reflexes and being able to pick up on general moods. This is also a weakness however, as in the Force to anyone trying to sense him can detect his presence as a Force Wielder as he cannot try and disguise himself in the Force.
| {Limitations} |- Force Weakness:As listed above.
- Combat: While he can fight from a cockpit, his skill as a blaster combatant or melee are nothing too impressive especially compared to most Mandalorians.
- Thrill Seeker: His desire for an adrenaline rush sometimes put him, or his ship, into situations that push them to their max, and sometimes beyond it. Will he learn before he gets himself killed? Who knows.
| {Personality} |Xarthas is impulsive and a thrill seeker. He jumps at the opportunity to get into the thick off it and get things done, quite often leaping ahead without considering the consequences of his actions which has gotten him into trouble on more than one occasion. While he recognizes it as a flaw and thinks that he will 'change his ways and plan ahead more' this resolution is one that he is still waiting to see come to pass. Despite this rashness when it comes to any issues of a mechanical nature he can be remarkably and uncharacteristically patient. It is one of the only areas where he realizes that he needs to take his time.
He really finds himself at ease most when he is either working on a ship's systems or flying. Since first taking flight he has spent as little time ground side as possible as he feels a bit useless and lost in those situations. He spends so much time in space at this point that he finds being on a planet with an atmosphere disorientating at this point.
| {Place of Origin} |Concordia, while most of House Kryze lives on Mandalore due to their connections with the Duchess. Clan Den lived on Concordia during the ending of the war, it was here that the Consular Cruiser crashed early into his childhood. He and his father repaired the vessel and filed it as legitimate salvage. Painting it black, originally intending it to be a new ship for his smuggling operations. As the Paladin took over as Mand’alor many of Clan Den as renowned engineers and pilots went on to join the navy and assist in the construction of the great Shipyard.
| {Background} |Xarthas was born before Knightfall though he doesn’t remember much before. His Father was a renowned smuggler in the Outer Rim, like many within Clan Den he was a skilled pilot, with their Verd’goten specifically designed to encompass pilot skills. While he worked in the outer rim running weapons in the Clone Wars he always returned home where he fell in love with a younger woman. Sadly Xarthas’ mother died during childbirth and Trask Den decided then and there that he would leave his nomadic ways behind in order to raise his son. From a young age Xarthas was taught the basic skills necessary of Mandalorian Life and Piloting. The first real memory he has however is off the Consular Class Cruiser crashing from the sky into the moon of Concordia. As time went on more and more ships arrived. As the Open Circle fleet arrived at Mandalore.
Trask took his son to the crashed ship, and together they began repairing it as more and more of Clan Den returned. Spurred on by the patriotism brought upon them by the Paladin the enclave that held Clan Den soon looked more like a bustling spaceport than a farming homestead. As the Paladin and the Duchess planned for what was going ahead most of the Clan joined either the Navy or the civilian efforts in order to truly turn MandalMotors into an economic powerhouse, building the shipyards that would one day encompass the planet.
It took ten years with Xarthas and Trask rebuilding the Consular Class C70 retrofit before it was deemed flyable, during this time Xarthas underwent the Verd’goten and was even deemed to be Force Sensitive. The Jedi took interest in him for a short time before they deemed that his Force Sensitivity wasn’t near on the level that they were looking for. Painting the ship black, Xarthas was gifted with his first set of armour and given the ship by his father as a gift at the mere age of fifteen. His father joined him on his first couple of flights largely in the system between Mandalore and Concordia to visit other members of the clan. Eventually Xarthas would take charters, and freight runs for Mandalore. In time he gained some level of accord, able to even make difficult supply runs to Enclaves that existed outside of ‘Mandalorian Space’. He continued to modify his ship, it continued to evolve and take on a life of its own. When he found an ETA-Actis 2 adrift without its Hyperspace ring he removed the Pilot and returned them to the Jedi Temple for a proper burial, however he kept the starfighter for himself. Repairing the vessel and modifying his vessel with a small makeshift hangar.
Within a couple of years Xarthas found himself running guns and supplies to Mandalorian Banners that were operating outside of Mandalorian Space. He may not be the most skilled warrior, but what he can do is fly. While he ‘unofficially’ flew supplies to Mandalorian Banners that operated in the wider galaxy, primarily in the Empire running operations against the CIS he also began running to groups that were aligned with Mandalores goals. Such as anti-CIS rebel groups. As a patriot however he always maintained his support for Mandalore, and would always check through ‘official’ commands on who he could, and couldn’t, supply.
